Whether you are a stay at home mom, work at home
mom or a mom that works outside of the home, between running the kids to
and from activities, making dinner, and doing loads of laundry, few moms
have time to pamper themselves. Suddenly, its been six weeks since youve
shaved your legs, your hair has absolutely no style, and you feel as
desirable as a cockroach at the dinner table. There's just no way you
can take time for yourself, especially enough time to make yourself feel
sexy and alive again, right? Well, you may not be able to spend a week
at the spa, but there are plenty of five minute tricks that can make you
look good. After all, sometimes, knowing that you look good is the key
to feeling great.
If you haven't been able to make it to your stylist for a while, chances
are your hair is getting long and kind of limp. However, there are hair
styles that are sleek and sophisticated and only take a few minutes to
do. Try styling your hair so that it is in a French roll or a French
braid. You wont believe how knowing that your hair looks spectacular
will make you feel.
So, your hair is done, but you still feel a little blah. Are you wearing
a housedress or a set of ratty pajamas? Just because you can dress down
doesn't always mean you should. Instead, look for easy care separates
that go with everything. Make sure you pick up a few simple accessories,
like a matching bracelet and earrings, too. No matter how hectic your
day is, you will feel like you can handle things if you look put
together.
Of course, most women agree that there are few experiences that are more
romantic and relaxing than soaking in the tub surrounded by scented
candles. However, busy moms know that the second they slide into
the tub, there are several children pounding frantically on the door
because they want mommy to help them and daddy just wont do. That
doesn't mean you cant enjoy a hot shower using your favorite scented
bath and shower gel, though. After you step out of the shower, use a
lotion with the same scent. You'll smell fantastic for hours, whether
you're sorting laundry or taking a moment to flirt with your man.
Finally, even if you only have five minutes to spare, make sure you
squeeze some exercise into the day. Exercising not only tones your body
and helps you look great, but it releases endorphins that make you feel
great, too.
