When you become a mom, you suddenly take on all kinds of new roles. You become a milk machine, a lullaby expert, a late night soother and a cheerleader like never before. There is one role that sneaks up on you that you don't expect if you are not careful. It's the "Frumpy Mom" role. This is one role you don't want! Trust me, I've been there!

I've worn the tent style maternity clothes. I've worn the nursing bras with wide straps and far-from-seemless cups that leave your tops looking lumpy. I've worn the baggy shirts and pants while transitioning back into my pre-pregnancy wardrobe. I know. I remember the feeling of frumpy and I didn't like it!

I've since made an effort to take care of myself. I've learned which styles look good on me, which colors flatter me and how to do my makeup in 5 minutes so I don't leave home looking like I just rolled out of bed.

I believe in making myself a priority in my life. I adore my family and am committed to their every happiness but if I'm not taken care of, they won't get the best of me. Am I a better mom because I get pedicures? Well...yes, I am. The time spent getting my toes done is much needed down time for me, plus pretty toes make me smile. I return refreshed and ready to meet their needs.

My goal is not to obsess about how I look but to care for myself. It's about working with what I have and empowering myself with knowledge so I don't spend a lot of time or money that I can't afford to spend. I can do the same for you.

I am the mom of two. I know the challenges that motherhood makes on one's personal beauty routine! Moms are a special breed. They, more likely than not, live on a limited budget, with limited sleep and limited time. My desire is to make each mom feel special about her looks, proud that she keeps herself looking her best and educated about fashion and beauty decisions she makes.
