Just because you are a giver of life, a protector, doesn’t mean you have to totally go to seed, right? There’s the glam mom, and then there’s the rest of us who can barely pull it together. I’m not wearing high heels when I take my kids out to golf. Swear, I once saw that!
But, I think we need to make a little effort. In the old days, people would say do it to keep your husband happy. I say, do it to keep you happy! Terrible when you catch a glimpse of yourself and you go, “What happened to that girl? Oh, God, it’s me!!!”
Now, in my video here, I accidentally say blush twice. I meant foundation the other time. Lots of people will say that for running around, tinted moisterizer is fine. Well, they are prettier than me, ’cause I need the coverage of foundation. Let me know your quick “pull it together” tips. This video shares one of mine.

Excellent timing with this post, as I just got back from taking the kiddos to an animal park. I now look and smell like those animals. Nice, huh!

you cracked me up with the “constant excuse for looking like hell”. I agree, humidity will torpedo any impetus to look good. It all melts.
After 8 years of mommyhood, I’ve got the 4 minute face down! Concealer, powder, shadow, liner, mascara, gloss, go!
Though, hair ends up in a ponytail more often than not.
