When it comes to your hair in the summer, whats a go-to style for you?
AG: I like my hair on day two and day three of not being washed.
Usually what Ill do is part it down the center and do two tight braids.
In the morning, I let it go, and its kind of like a beachy wave situation.
And then I just go on with my day.
If its hair-washing day, Ive been using the same trick since I was 15 years old.
Out of the shower, I part my hair where I want it, and dont brush it.
Its the perfect waves in my hair.
Now, its super wavy.
Whats your go-to summer fragrance right now?
I think its made in Australia, and its called AYU.
I also like to keep like a roll-on oil on me.
Its theRiddle Roll-On Oil, and the jasmine scent is my favorite.
This little oil roller perfume roller has been the best.

Its so good, and its something that anybody can use.

AG: I create those moments for myself.
She even tells me, Go away, go do whatever you oughta do, Ive got this.
The biggest thing, I think, for moms is to do it without guilt.
Thats one of the things I keep reminding myself, is do this guilt-free.
Its okay to cry.
Its okay to scream and feel like you have no idea what youre doing.
AG: Its okay to cry.
Its okay to scream and feel like you have no idea what youre doing.
I have been there, and I know many other mothers have been there.
For me, what works is just creating systems and a schedule.
Then the kids are up at 6:45, 7:00, and we start the day.
Theres no handbook, and there are really hard days.
I remind myself that this stage will come and go.
Its not going to be stressful forever.
