You know, after having two kids, my beauty regime has changed drastically. Instead of primping in front of my makeup mirrors, I find myself avoiding them at all costs. I used to be the girl that wouldn't even take out the trash without getting all dolled up first. Now, I wake up in the morning and barely manage to brush my hair and put it in a ponytail.
Even when I was working full time I spent minimal amount of time on my appearance for work. I now understand what it means to "let yourself go". In my case, I have placed my importance on other things, namely the kids. I just don't care how I look anymore because it seems I don't have anyone to impress anyway. Then I think, "poor Dave", he deserves to come home to someone who looks adorable everyday. I must start getting back into beauty regime!
For you moms who might read this: Have you found that you "let yourself go" after the kids were born? Or do you spend just as much time primping as you did before?




Sorry to say, but I let myself go too.
I wish I could look better for Paul, but with us being a one income family I already feel like the money I would spend on extra clothes for me can be spent somewhere else. (House Payment) Of couse that’s no excuse to be always throwing my hair up in a ponytail. lol
I can survive with minimum make-up..but I try to dress well..hehee..
Your post Beauty and Motherhood was very interesting when I found it over google on Thursday by my search for john jones paul. I have your blog now in my bookmarks and I visit your blog again, soon. Take care.
