Do you take time to get ready each morning? Do you do your hair and put on make-up or has it become a hassle? Suave hit the streets and found real moms who have let themselves go, and treated them to "Mommy Makeovers," showing them that you can look good without spending a lot of time.
Check out Loralie's makeover:
In the video Loralie says that, she feels like her hair pays the price for having a two year old. Do you find yourself spending less time getting ready now that you have children?

I only take the time to get all fancied up if I have somewhere to go. If it's just a day at home or families house, I don't bother too much.
It's all about love.

I get the kids started on their breakfast and I get ready while they're eating. I wear makeup and mascara everyday, but I usually just put my hair in a pony tail. Now, how I dress is another story. most of the time it's jeans and T-shirt for me.

I am a Mary Kay Consultant & Moms are so fun to makeover! There devotion to their children and their families usually results in less attention to making themselves feel good! I LOVE to give women the gift of a makeover! Seeing them feel so good and re-energized is amazing! I am offering free facials and 25% off all purchases during the months of Nov & Dec.

Who has time to put on makeup and do their hair between feeding the kids making lunches and setting out outfits and finding shoes, and feeding pets??? Not me! I wish I had time to do something with my hair and makeup in the morning but i dont!!

I'm not a big fan of makeup anyway but I dress as I normally would but if I wanna feel pretty, then I take an extrahour to straighten my hair.
Lol, w/ having 3 kids tho, I'm lucky to get to have a 30 min shower to shave my legs.

I did every day with just 1, but since #2 arrived, only if I'm going somewhere and not always then.

I am with all of you ladies...I saw this gorgeous necklace in the store the other day and casually mentioned to my husband what a nice Christmas gift it would make (wink, wink). He said to me, you don't where the other jewelry I bought you anymore. My reply, "The baby pulls at everything, I can't"...of course he doesn’t understand because he then says, "than why do you want something else he can pull at?" Now ladies, as I know you can relate, this is just an example...How else has baby changed our lives?
Exercise - as a working mom I feel too guilty to leave baby for another hour to go to the gym
Wardrobe - A fifth of my clothes fit because I have not lost all my baby weight and have trouble squeezing gym time in
Finances - Daycare has stolen my wardrobe fund anyway.
Pedicure - I am now that girl in the bathroom stall that I used to notice her feet and say to myself "girl you need a pedicure"
The ironic thing is that baby makes all this worth it...
