Beauty Secrets 101
I think it’s okay.
I think this is a safe place.
Today, for one day only, I want to share with you something very special.
Something you won’t find on other blogs.
That’s right.
Beauty secrets of busy people.
That’s what we’re talking about today.
Can you dig it?
I’ll break down a few for you and then you can join the conversation in the comments sections today.
I think that’s only fair.
Secret Number One.
It is perfectly acceptable to use the iPhone on its reverse setting as a mirror before entering any establishment.
Secret Number Two.
There is no shame in wiping the sticky residue that inevitably results from being alive near small children on the inside of your child’s pants leg. They will not feel it. It will in no way adversely affect them.
Secret Number Three.
Wear your running shoes when spending time with your children. If you sprint towards them (or away from them) throughout the course of the day, you may consider that Exercise in its official capacity.
Secret Number Four.
Do not spend needless minutes looking into the mirror above your bathroom sink like a normal person would do. Instead, rely on fixing your hair in the reflection of the car windows on the street.
Secret Number Five.
Why bother getting all wet standing up for so long in that time waste of a box called a shower? You already have a satchel full of deliciously-scented baby wipes. Vigorously wipe your arms and all other parts down with a plethora of those puppies.
Secret Number Six.
Laugh. A lot. It will cover up all sorts of other issues.
That’s just a beginner’s list really.
But I wouldn’t want to overwhelm you from the get-go.
What other beauty secrets should we know about?
What are you holding back from us?

Shave your head. Less maintenance.

So true.

My secret to sanity………not sure if it is beauty……..but it is definitely worth the $36 extra dollars a month I pay at the gym for me and my husband to workout together in the afternoon and have my kids watched in the kid fit area with some wonderful ladies who have been caring for my kids for over 7 years now. That is my secret…………..and I dare share it with you! 🙂

Use a baby as an accessory! The cuter the baby is, the less they'll notice you didn't brush your hair.

Yeah – I've been using this one for years — but my "baby" is almost two so my time is running out.
Maybe I better buy a hairbrush soon.

lipstick or lip balm is not necessary – just "borrow" a bit of your child's cherry jell-o or popsicle and rub it briefly on your lips. you'll have lovely red lips all day ; )

And – when you feel wild you can hit up the purple popsicle for a new look.

as a frequent non-showerer…er, non-hair washer (i shower when i need to, but often skip the hair washing)…i find that the grease factor in my hair is well hidden by:
a. cute headbands, if i have on a headband/bandana/buff 9 times out of 10, my hair is not freshly washed
b. a little french braid at the front of my head
and both things, often get complimented as to how they look good, to which i respond 'gee, thanks' and laugh a little to myself thinking 'if you only knew how long it had been since showering, you would so not think it was cute'.
