Do you pamper yourself??? Nails, hair, pedi, etc 💄💅🏽💆🏽‍♀️😌

I have a 14 yr old & a 6 month old. I feel like I could be confused as a bum 75% of the time we’re out. I just don’t even have time for myself anymore & it’s making me super self conscious 😞

I learned ways to do my hair and nails at home. It's cheaper and I can still be with the kids without feeling guilty. ATP if I go to a salon it's because I really needed a pedi lol

I'm pretty low maintenance, but I make sure I have a shower and do my basic make-up routine every day! But I've definitely got to be really quick about it now, like 5 mins. I don't really get the chance to straighten my hair anymore :(

When we go out to dinner I’m dressed up with hair, makeup, outfit all done. But I mostly look like a mess at home. If we’re not leaving the house, I’m probably in leggings and an oversized t-shirt. MAYBE my hair has been brushed lol. I feel like I should make more of an effort, like when we were first dating, but it’s hard! I don’t have time to curl my hair everyday like I used to.

I use the dashing diva gloss shine gel nail strips at home for mani and pedi. I get a good haircut a couple times per yr (keeping it on the shorter side) and blow dry it myself every week. I use revitalash on my eyelashes to help them stay thick. The main things I do to pamper myself are laser hair removal bc I hate shaving and getting quality makeup/skincare products bc I'm prone to breakouts. I'm also going to get an elliptical with a built-in fitness app on black Friday to keep me motivated during my workouts.

I get my nails done every 3 weeks. I started because of my job and needing to be professional and now I continue because it's an hour of me time and I love my nail tech. I thought about stopping once I gave birth, but decided I needed something for me.

I try to do my feet more often than not and my eyebrows are mostly always done from personal threading and I dye them, lots of skincare cus white peoples age crazy. My 2yo girl sees and wants me to spray her face too and put on makeup when I do or earrings😂 I’m a sahm who goes out maybe once a week every two weeks we go out to play in the yard more than twice a week though

I’m trying to teach my girl how to take care of herself esp in case she doesn’t have money like my mom she does like professional grade pedicures ever since I could remember taking the effort to treat herself ❤️💅

My mother in law had my lo so I can get my hair done or my nails. Luckily I only get my hair done every 2 months and my nails every month. X

I don't pamper myself (not into those things), but I don't look like a mess. I just keep myself tidy and that's it.

I wish I could do more 4 myself but childcare is slim

I hate the way I look these days 😏 I’m not working at the moment so can’t afford to have my hair done regularly, lashes, nails and waxing anymore so I just try my best to look half decent. Everyday I will stick some makeup on and tie my hair back but like another lady said, I never have time to straighten my hair and I often think what’s the point cos I barely go out for the night anyways. It’s pretty depressing but honestly I wouldn’t change it, the time some women spend pampering themselves is more than I would want to spend away from my kids and family tbh xx

@Jade I’m a DIY kinda girly too, before I had my son 6 months ago. My brows & feet are usually what I take time to do every 1-2 weeks & I’m very versatile so my hair is always styled by me since I was a 11-12,but I don’t get to do my own hair lately, & I have long healthy nails that I don’t make time to polish. 😩 I’m just in need of 8 hrs of me time to get glam make over for Mommy soon!!!
