Obviously now I'm a Mum I'm supposed to be earthy and wholesome and not really care how I look. However, there are certain standards required when going to work, so my appearance is fairly important to me most of the time. Although on my day off I barely have time to brush my teeth, apparently Widow Twanky make up, wild hair and creased clothes just don't cut the mustard when you work in an office, so I have to try to make time to scrub up during the week.
I have always loved make up, cosmetics and pampering so caring for two toddlers and my resultant lack of me time has been a bit of a shock. I was thinking earlier today about the maintenance I barely have time to do any more.
My beauty routine has gone from exfoliating, dry body brushing, moisturising, manicures, pedicures, self tanning, hair removal and tooth whitening to a quick shower, a bit of deodorant, a touch of make-up and a dash for the door.
Do I miss the higher maintenance me? Sometimes. Will she return? Maybe one day when the boys need me a little less and I care more about sometimes looking like a scary bird. Please excuse me if we meet on the street and I look a bit scruffy!
