Hi! I need help. I’m a mum of a 2 year old and share custody 50:50 with my ex. Since my pregnancies, I don’t look “together”. I can’t remember the last time I felt good about the way I looked. I’ve gained a good chunk of weight, so I realise that’s probably the main culprit, but does anyone have any good tips on how to feel together for work with little money and time?
I don’t think my skins too bad, and I like ny hair when it’s behaving but that seems to be less about what I do to it and more to do with what it feels like doing (lots of thick hair, frizzy/wavy on a good day!)
my make up routine consists of some concealer under my eyes and maybe some eyebrow stuff.
my clothes are either too small from pre pregnancy time or too big as I have actually lost about 11lb.
god just how do people look good when they have a child?

Hi, on the same boat with a young ds. Things that make a massive difference to me are getting my brows done, using clarisonic with a good cleanser in the shower and good nutrition/ hydration. My skin definitely looks terrible if I don't eat fruit and veg.

I feel ya! The things that make a big difference for me are having my brows done (Regular tint & wax), tanning drops in my moisturizer on my face at night, a kerastraight treatment by the hairdresser on my long, thick, wild hair. I can just dry my hair & go out now, it's sleek & straight for 4-6 months. It even looks good chucked in a pony. Also if I have the money I'll have a lash lift & tint.
