its soo easy once u become a mother and wife to have one focus, looking after the children, clean, cooking, nursery run, and still be in one peice at 5.30 when hubby comes home, the first 3years has been really overwhelming. and i became very run down, with poor skin, dark cirlces, not eating properly cos there was never enough time and just exhausted and the last thing on my mind was to care what i looked like. once a former pr girl and model now is a mother of 2 and dont remember the last time i walked out the house not in my velors.

after i caught my husband out on vigorous flirting with his colleuge i decided i needed to sort myself out, and now shower and get dressed everyday, do my hair and a bit of tinted moisturizer and perfume has done the trick for me. i now have my mother round my house every morning 7.45am-9am which gives me an hour to make an effort in the morn and she minds the children, the best thing i ever did! and she comes back between 4-5pm while i go for an evening walk with my girlfriend – keeping fit and getting to catch up with my friend which is another thing iv neglected since becoming a mum. and iv also swapped tea for water! and iv never been happier, my relationship is better than ever with my husband, mum, friends and most of all i am now the best mum i can be cos i take the time to look after me. its obvious really how can u look after anyone else if u dont look after urself?? x

[...] Look your best. Some days all you need to help you break out of your slump is a nice outfit, a shower and some great hair. When you think you look good, you often feel better in general and have more energy and motivation to get things done. [...]

Sleep well, drink gallons of water and definately shower and put on a little makeup, even if it's only a little mascara. What a difference it makes to your mood, and how you deal with others around you. After chickie was born, that was my favourite tip I ever received. Everyone told me to sleep when I got the chance, and never mind trying to be perfect. My sister, though, said to get my lazy *** going and to jump in the shower when I got a minute everyday. That routine helped snap me back to my normal life, just with baby in tow. Getting pretty makes you feel stronger, and more prepared to deal with life.

I just love this list (and this blog - I just discovered it today!). I needed to see it in print, I think - as a new mom to a 3.5 month old baby, I have definitely been at the bottom of my own priority list lately. I think I'm going to print this out and follow another commentor's advice - put shower and makeup back on my every day to-do list. Thanks for the great read, and now I look forward to perusing your archives. christy´s last blog post...All bundled up

My husband, who also subscribes here!, has been begging me to finally get to reading this post. You think he's giving me a hint? I don't take good enough care of myself and I know I should. My posture is horrible and sitting at my computer all day doesn't help. This is a goal I'm setting for next year. I'm sitting up straight right now, are you?!! And I don't drink enough water. I don't know if it's bland to me or what, but I need to start chugging it! I love that you added the need for sun. So true here in Utah when 4 months of the year are cold, snowy, and gray! Great post. Thanks for making me take a few minutes and realize I need to do more for me! Marie @ Make and Takes´s last blog post...Swiped Any Good White Elephants This Year?

The best “beauty secret” my beautiful mother ever gave me, which never fails to give me confidence and better posture, and makes my eyes sparkle all at the same time is: “always look like you’ve got a secret…” – Thanks Mommy!

Great post! Just wondering though if I am the only woman alive that doesn't (and wouldn't) give space to a little black dress in my wardrobe. I am blonde with pale skin and black looks awful on me. The only black items I have are yoga pants! All hail to the cashmere sweater though, I love mine. Nicki´s last blog post...Is that you Cindy Lou?

Fabulous list, Tsh! I have two comments. 1) Yes, smiling IS my favorite and I say that quote as much as possible, it’s a little joke my hubby and I have. Love that movie! 2) I put “shower” and “makeup” on my to-do list every day along with dishes, laundry, bathing the kids, errands, etc. It’s important to do for myself and I get a sick satisfaction from crossing it off the list.
