It’s taken me nearly 5 years to feel like myself again…and sometimes I feel like I’m regressing. But, what started out last April out of anger and embarrassment has turned out to be a journey to self-care. Finally I can see my self-worth outside of being a mom and what I can offer my employer. #workinprogress __________⁣ Read: An Unfiltered Look at Working Mom Life in Japan https://thewagamamadiaries.com/unfiltered-look-at-working-mom-life-in-japan/ __________⁣ . .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #thewagamamadiaries #knowyourworth #selfcare #mentalhealth #ohheymama #motherhoodunplugged #takeastep #findyourpath #ikigai #loveyourself #keepgoing #lawofattraction #livelaughlove #bebetter #goodvibesonly #capturingmotherhood #stylepost #japanblog #inbeautyandchaos #selfcareisnotselfish #selfcareisimportant #selfcareissexy #melaninandmentalhealth #justamom #momdiary #maternalmentalhealth #bodypositivity #realmomstyle via @preview.app

𝙱𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝙻𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕 𝚄𝚗𝚕 𝙱𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝙻𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕 𝚄𝚗𝚕𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚍 ____________ Allow me to (re)introduce myself: I’m Teni Wada, the founder of @edobeautylab. The “community project” that I’ve hinted at recently is [EDO BEAUTY LAB], an incorporated entity registered as Kabushiki Kaisha Edo Beauty Lab (株式会社 EDO BEAUTY LAB) on May 19, 2021. It’s been nearly a year in the making, and I can’t believe I finally did it!🤗 So, exactly what is Edo Beauty Lab all about? K. K. Edo Beauty Lab is the company that produces [EDO BEAUTY LAB], an upcoming green beauty brand handmade in Edogawa City, Tokyo, Japan. The reason why I consider this a “community project “ is because every part of the manufacturing process takes place in Edogawa. Our artisanal goods are also handmade in Edogawa by talented local craftsmen with decades of experience. Plus, one of the ingredients used is komatsuna a leafy green superfood grown locally since the 12-13th century! In fact, Edogawa City produces nearly 40 percent of Tokyo’s annual komatsuna harvest🥬 Swipe to read what we’re all about and check out the snazzy PR clip I made showcasing our clarifiying clay mask formulated by me🥰 I’m thinking of hosting an Instagram Live later in the month. I’ll chat about my experience of starting a company in Japan, and talking about the Japanese cosmetics industry. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll set up a poll on my Stories to figure out a date. Until then, don’t forget to check out @edobeautylab and watch my Stories for behind the scenes info as I prepare for our official launch on July 1💚 __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #edobeautylab #blackownedskincare #blackinjapan #blackownedbeauty #blackownedcosmetics #workinjapan #womenownedbusiness #sdgsjapan #greenskincare #superfoodskincare #sustainablebeauty #indiebeautybrand #japaneseskincare #farmtoface #consciousbeauty #plantbasedskincare #sustainableskincare #SNS起業 #起業家女子　#女性起業家　#起業ママ #植物の力　#グリーンビューティー　#江戸川区#地域活性化 #サステイナブル #小松菜#エドビューティーラボ　 #ipreview via @preview.app

It’s got a refreshing powdery-soapy scent. And, it’s made with 19 animo acids to promote the skin’s moisture retention and protect it from free-radical damage.

This green clay mask is the first product from my sustainable beauty brand, [EDO BEAUTY LAB]. It’s currently in production, and I’m just amazed because I have been dreaming of this moment since I drafted my business plan in July 2020. Still, it won’t be really “real” until I pick up my boxes of product next week. It’s been incredibly overwhelming and comforting having the support of so many people , many who’ve I met here on Instagram.

𝚃𝚘𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚠 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚍𝚊𝚢 __________ #明日は明日の風が吹く! What do you do when it’s 115℉/35°C out and you forget your ID but really need an important document from city hall? Do you… go back home to get it or do it tomorrow? In a different timeline I would have gone back home, get my ID and be back at city hall, then get ready for school pickup and dinner, all without taking a proper lunch break! HOWEVER, with my daughter on summer vacation, I’ve had to take her on business meetings & errands. While that might sound like a nightmare, having her around has helped me refocus my priorities & discover so many neat places in Edogawa City. We hop around town by bus instead of trains, take frequent bathroom breaks, have cafe time & sit-down lunches, and stop by the florist on the way home. As a matter of fact, we even found a ramen shop with a live owl in front — that ramen shop is literally in front of the bus stop to my office yet I can’t believe I missed that owl so many times! Like, how do you miss an *owl* sitting in front of a ramen shop??? Since then, I’ve actually been teaching myself to take it slow even though I’m gearing up to open my online shop. Most nights I even go to bed before midnight! I used to want it all, that I deserved to have it all, but now I’m content in my small corner of Tokyo. A hustle mindset has definitely gotten me this far, but the next phase is gonna be all about taking it easy! __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #HUSTLECULTURE #MOTHERHOODUNPLUGGED #DAILYGRIND #EVERYDAYIMHUSTLING #TODAYSLESSON #LIFELESSONS knowyourworth #myreason #lostinthought #mindsetmatters #ohheymama #findyourpath #ikigai #loveyourself #keepgoing #doyouforyou #lawofattraction #livelaughlove #bebetter #goodvibesonly #capturingmotherhood #inbeautyandchaos #naturallyme #naturallyshesdope #melaninandmentalhealth #justamom #momdiary #maternalmentalhealth #ipreview via @preview.app
