Beauty & The Trendy Mom

At 43 I’m definitely no spring chicken, although my kid is only going to be 5 yrs old in a month’s time. The spouse is 8 yrs younger and to say that I have great confidence about myself and my looks, well lets just say “who are you kidding woman..!!! ” Putting up a brave front in front of customers and friends is quite alright but when I am alone or in front of the mirror after a shower, I cannot really lie to myself right? I was just telling the spouse that I should go for botox (and he called me crazy) this Christmas, since there is an anti aging Dr in our area. The spouse said to make out my Christmas list and he would think about it (but he still thinks I’m crazy).

Beauty is not all about looking beautiful but also about having the confidence to do a job well, driving you to stay healthy thus improving your love life and every other aspect of your life. So if your goal is to improve your way of life and your self-esteem, then you should definitely look into a specialist in this area. I am also very interested in the thread face lift that I’ve heard so much about. It is a non-surgical procedure and is affordable, if anyone can identify with saggy face and skin it has gotta be me. Now I’ll just have to make a trip to either New York City, New Jersey or even Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island.

Moms Should Wear Funny T-Shirts

Being a mom is not easy.. as you can all see and to lighten up, moms must all wear funny t shirts. Why you ask me..?? pretty simple.. it can get stressful.. when the kid doesn’t wanna listen to you or the spouse kinda dirty the place or even when the babysitter doesn’t show up on time. So with a funny t-shirt.. it can work actually kill 2 birds with one stone, get the message across.. or make things less stressful for you. So i’m all for moms to wear funny t-shirts on bad hair days.

Prom Dress For Keegan

Our babysitter Keegan is in Grade 12 this year it is a big year for her. From Prom to finishing school and then going to nursing school next year, all trying to fall into its place. One of the most important events of the year for all Grade 12 students, if you don’t know by now, is Prom Night. It is definitely a night to remember, almost like telling the whole world that yer a big gal now. So of course Keegan has been talking about looking for evening gowns already, but as you all know we are a very small town and don’t really have many places in the mall for such exquisite looking dresses.

But guess what Keegan said, she was going all out for a puffy dress *slap forehead*. Unlike her, I prefer a practical dress. Something that I can wear again. After all they are not cheap eh? Evening dresses like this one are simple yet elegant. I love the embroidered pattern on the upper part of the dress and the sheer material makes one look really soft and sexy, subtle yet noticeable. It’s in the price range of what Keegan was going to spend on her prom dress too, so if I were her I would buy something like the one pictured below so that I can use it again for other occasions like a wedding or a party/cocktail in the future. In fact, this dress can be worn for dining in a fine restaurant too and we do that a lot. Plus they do ship worldwide, so if Keegan orders a dress from Splendid Gowns, she will be able to get it before Prom Night.

Fall Fashion For Mums

Photobucket

This was listed in the Fall Fashion at Stylehive about 3 weeks ago. Had I known about Stylehive at the time I would have bought this since it was less than USD $30, but now it is not available anymore. What a bummer! It’s not always possible for me to up and leave the store and go shopping, but I’m always trying to stay on top of things and stay trendy too. After all, being a mum doesn’t mean that you need to be frumpy and wear a housecoat all day even if you are a stay at home mum. Like all mums around the world, we look for stylish things that are affordable and fit into our household budget so we don’t overspend.

The Fall Fashions at Stylehive are actually a collation of hip and cool items from people from all over the world who want to share their findings with you. It is constantly updated and helps women like me to stay informed and get the best buys. You find not only fashion wear but home cuties and other fun stuff there, anything that’s hot and fresh can be found. I might not be able to afford the latest Bottega, but it’s always good to know where I can get a good price when I do want one.

Hair Loss After Pregnancy

I don’t know about other people but I’ve been experiencing a lot of it after having giving birth and it never seems to get better. And don’t anyone tell me that it would get better because it did not for me. I tried a different shampoo .. I am currently taking iron pills and I even suspected it was because of my fibroids that was causing a hormone imbalance. But now that my fibroids have been taken out surgically, I cannot even use that excuse anymore. For someone who faces the public on a daily basis, I’m sure you can understand why I’m extremely self-conscious about my crown of glory.

And if you are anything like me it is frightening to see how much ones hair can drop. Each time I get out of bed there is a lot of hair left behind on my pillow. Plus I’m afraid of hair transplants but on the other hand, I am so eager to try any natural hair loss treatment that must be safe with no chemical ingredients or side effects. But how many of us can afford to splurge on expensive treatments or medications right?

Provillus is no magical formula but the liquid solution that is to be applied twice a day helps with hair growth from the scalp. You also take some vitamins for hair loss in the morning and evenings to help from inside of your body. My hair is thinning so bad that I could really use a miracle here and after reading the many testimonial on the site, it said that there are specific treatments for both the men and the women. With no side effects (I like that part the most), 2 months supply for free, FDA approved hair regrowth treatment and a 90 days money back guarantee, I see no reason why anyone wouldn’t try it. Ordering is easy, you can even use paypal to pay for it, and you don’t have to be embarrassed about the billing on your credit card (just in case you want to surprise your spouse) because every transaction is discreet, confidentiality is not taken lightly here. By the way, they ship worldwide too, so don’t make any excuses and get your self-confidence back, we all need some everyday. Well, at least I do!

After The Operation

Maybe it’s me.. or maybe it’s just my imagination but i feel like i’m putting on weight awfully easy after the operation. For those who are not aware of this.. i had just gone thru’ a huge operation about 3 months ago.. and another emergency one 10 days after my first operation for a hysterectomy and removing my 3kg fibroids. I never used to be able to put on more weight.. no matter how much i eat.. for the fibroids were already making me “look” fat.. but now that the fibroids are finally removed, it sure looked like i am putting on weight. Better look into getting some weight loss pill, for i ain’t gonna wanna look like the average Canadians here.

I Need A Botox!

I kid you not! Every morning when we are sending our kid to school and I flip open the car’s mirror and put on my lipstick, I cannot help but think how saggy my face skin looks compared to when i was in my 20s. I still don’t look old but you can definitely see that sagging facial skin and there itself you can’t lie anymore. Every time, I would use my fingers to lift both sides of my face to see how it looked when I was 15 yrs younger, and of course feel a wee bit regretful about the droopy looking skin on my face.

I’m considering botox because it is non-surgical, although it is not permanent, it helps decrease the signs of aging and gives a little lift each time, helping it last a little longer. But for those looking for a more permanent solution, Eastcoast residents can look for Dr Porter from Chevy Chase to help them refresh, rejuvenate and to renew their confidence. If you need a nose job, look for rhinoplasty Washington DC all the information you need is there.

Toning My Tummy

For years I haven’t been exercising and my excuse was my fibroids. Now my complaint is the weather (too cold). But truth be told, looking after a kid full time (even though she started school a week ago) and helping the man with the store, cooking two meals, washing dishes and bottles and cleaning up the house just a bit, there is very little I want to do at the end of the day but turn into a couch potato.

After my recent surgeries to remove those humongous fibroids I know I can’t blame that flabby looking tummy on the fibroids any more. Having said that, it sure doesn’t make it any easier to get up and jump around and do some aerobics, crunches or sit ups. But I heard that by using a Flex Belt one can tone, firm and strengthen those stomach muscles just by slipping them on for 30 minutes a day. This Flex Belt is the only abdominal toning system cleared by the FDA and clinically proven to see results.

It works by stimulating the nerves that make your muscles contract and relax, thus targeting all the muscles in your abdomen and giving you the most effective abdominal workout that no other product has been able to achieve. With a 60 day refund policy and a 2 year warranty on the Flex Belt, I could slip it on for 30 minutes a day while I am doing dishes and folding my laundry. I’ll be dangerous for once with a flat and toned tummy.
