What are your tips for looking stylish with a baby /toddler?

[Nineloves1]

I'm trying to improve my look,which is often fairly scruffy.

I've read the tips about nice nails /hair.

I'm trying to shop more carefully and buy better quality clothing less often. I've conceded short people don't look groomed in standard length trousers tatty at the bottom, even if they are a bargain.

But some people just look groomed.

I look OK, if haggard from lack of sleep, but with hair that the baby has given an affectionate tug to, baby slobber on one shoulder and a side swipe of food on my leg where I missed it.

So if you do look groomed how do you do it? I'm not after ultra preened, just not Worzel Gummidge.

So jealous, I would love it done. I will one day when I have the £ spare :)

I have made the turmeric Lemonade and added some blood orange juice for taste. It's alright but I used a different recipe to dilute the taste a little and now there's loads of it. Is the main aim.to get 2 desert spoons of turmeric down in one go?

Oh wait, I have a tip to looking groomed with zero effort!

Have a look on YouTube for the sock bun technique. I wash & dry my hair before bed (because who gets chance during the waking hours?!) then put in the sock bun. Even if I don't brush my teeth, my hair looks like I've had a curly blow! It's changed my life.

And gel nails. Stays on for weeks and you can paint over it if you want. I got my own lamp & gel polishes and it cost the same of 2 visits to the salon!

I've got a great coat too. No one knows I've got a pj top on underneath, it always looks glamorous. Except for that one time the headteacher wanted a meeting straight from drop off and I had to keep my coat on, sweating in his office! 😂😂

Where do I get sweater dresses made of sweatshirt material? They sound awesome!!!

Even though I don't have a toddler, this is a fab thread!
