When you become a mum, everything suddenly revolves around the kids.

You barely remember the last time you did something just for you.

I was only 21 when I had my first baby I was in my prime, full of energy, ready to take on the world.

Fast forward a few years, and I barely recognised the person staring back at me in the mirror.

I was 97kg, tired, and just… lost.

I honestly couldn’t tell you how I got there but I can remember how it felt to hate what I saw.

No dress fit the way I wanted.

The gym? Way too intimidating.

There was no chance I was stepping in there.

But the hardest part wasn’t the number on the scales.

The hardest part was just not feeling like me anymore.

The Day Everything Changed (and It Wasn’t a Diet or Gym Plan)

One random Saturday, while my kids were napping, I decided to do something for myself.

Not for the kids.

Not for anyone else.

Just me.

I threw on some music, did my hair, put on a bit of makeup… and then I grabbed a bottle of fake tan.

I know it sounds silly, but that one little act was the first thing I’d done in ages that made me feel even a tiny bit confident.

When I looked in the mirror after, I didn’t see “mum” or “tired” or “frumpy” I saw a little glimpse of me again.

It Wasn’t Magic... But It Gave Me Something Diets Never Did

No, it wasn’t some miracle.

My body didn’t magically shrink overnight.

But for the first time in years, I had the confidence to actually wear my gym tights.

The next week, I tried on a dress I hadn’t worn in ages just to see...

A few days later, I even walked into the gym.

Still nervous, but this time I didn’t feel invisible.

That one bottle of fake tan started something...

It gave me the confidence to keep showing up for myself.

Week by week, I started to feel better in my skin.

I kept moving, started eating better, and step by step, I lost 28kg over two years.

But I’ll always say... It started with the tan.

Why I Created Romiie Tan (and Fixed Every Annoying Problem With Fake Tans)

Here’s the honest truth...most fake tans SUCK.

They’re orange, streaky, sticky, smell weird, or turn into tigerbread after a few days.

And when you’re a mum?

You don’t have hours to stand around half-naked, praying your tan doesn’t ruin your sheets or get all over your kids.

So after 10 YEARS of trying everything, I decided to make my own tan.

I made it exactly how I needed as a mum:

✅ Super dark, rich brown undertone
✅ Dries fast so you can get dressed and chase kids
✅ Doesn’t stink out your house
✅ Lasts up to 9 days...no weird tiger stripes
✅ Won’t rub off all over your clothes or sheets
✅ Looks like a REAL tan (not orange!)

Now, mums all over TikTok are going crazy for it and honestly, it feels a bit wild seeing how many women have messaged saying, “I feel like me again.”

Don't just take it from me here is what other mum's are saying?
