[...] Maybe it’s the cold I’ve had since September, over-work, stress, or lack of sleep, but I can’t seem to get myself interested enough in myself. I need a make-over, but I want someone else to just give me a look, arrange everything in my [...]

Hm, I try to dress my best, but I, too, find myself in my robe late into the morning. I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup growing up so the lack thereof now can be blamed on that. I do think I have neglected my appearance more since becoming a mom, and the shower is not as close of a friend as it once it.

I have a new style, but I think I’d still be categorized as a yummy mummy a lot of the time. Even my sweats are stylish. I love feeling put together– it makes me feel better about the 10 pounds I still need to lose (though four months out…seems like you wrote “nine to gain nine to lose” or something similar). My style will continue to improve once I hit the States for the summer, as most of my pre-pregnancy clothes are there! For now, I make do with what I have and look forward to dressing from my US closet soon!

I am sitting here in my wore out flannel pj pants and t-shirt. LOL I work part-time and today I came home from work and wanted to get out of my work clothes. So, I chose my comfy pj pants. I need more of them.

Since having kids I seem to have a hard time getting my haircut. Then my layers get too long, my hair gets stringy, and I end up wearing it in a ponytail almost everyday for a few months until I make my way to the salon again. I have recently adopted the term “BK” into my vocabulary. “BK” meaning “before kids”.

[...] Now, picture me as a female Tom Cruise except I’m taller and less wooden in my emoting. My long hair is tied back in a pony tail, sweat glistens on my brow as – under the punishing desert sun – I climb up the face of a cliff without a safety harness… [...]

Susan,

I have to confess that my showering habit went down to 3 times a week the moment baby 2 was born. At least, I am saving water.

As an incredibly busy work-at-home-mom I have no time at all for worrying about my makeup and wardrobe. A quick shower is about all I get. And jeans are my wardrobe staple.
