So it has been 3 years since I had my son, and it took all of the 3 years for me to finally start getting my " mojo" back. By mid March of 2008 I decided I must lose most of the weight I had gained during my pregnancy, cutting back on late night eating, chasing a toddler around the house over the course of 10 months I was able to lose close to 30 pounds. I am definitely feeling more confident and happy to be able to shop for my pre-baby size once again. One thing though that was still lacking was my edge, I still ran around in ugg boots, sneakers the fallout of just running around with Jaden, household errands, work. Un-combed hair, no makeup things that before I had my son would never be part of my daily routine.
Last week on an ordinary Tuesday I decided in a precise moment to have my hair chopped off. To be fair let me pre-qualify by telling you that it had horrible damaged ends a result from coloring the last 2 years, so I was planning on a cut. The night before My hubby who has an amazing sence of style on a woman went over some styles that would best suit me. Next day I surprised myself by having it cut in a shorter style which 30 pounds heavier, chubby face and all would never work on me. Since my hair-cut I feel this edgy, sexy, fun side coming back to me. Today taking my son and nephew to the Brooklyn Museum I wore leggings and tall patent leather high heeled boots. A bit edgy for a 2 pm visit to the Museum but damn did I look Hot!!!! It took my haircut to transform me into a " divalyssicous mum"

I have a beautiful little girl who just turned 1 and a husband who loves and understands me (most of the time :-))I don't have weight issues but I so easily put little effort into how I look and I know the power of putting in a little effort. It goes a long way in how I feel about myself. But dealing with a demanding job, traffic spending quality time with my daughter, no time to exercise etc., etc., etc. i've fallen into a funk. I'd forgotten that just making a little change like a new haircut can pick me up. It sounds trite but really it represents doing something foe me. So here's to making that step!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria for commenting and yes it is the " trite " things we do that means the most. Like escaping for a manicure/pedicure even if it is just for 10 minutes..it makes me feel like a woman again. So Make that step Mum and cheers to you for doing it...
