It’s starting to get cool out there, and I’ll bet moms all over are starting throw on those sweats as they run around on errands. Please don’t!!
Check out these super cute pants from Kohls. They are stretch, so they’re still very comfy, they’re a change up from your jeans, and they’re slightly flared so they give you a bit of style.
If you spend any time here, you’ll notice that I love Johnny Lavoy! He is a fantastic teacher, makes things really easy to understand and follow, and they’re always quick! Yay!
Here’s a really, and I mean really, fast updo for a date night, or a wedding. I know I’ll never have an hour ahead of time to do my hair, and I’m not going to want to pay somebody else to do it (who am I kidding, I wouldn’t have time to get to the stylist, either!). It might take a try or two to figure out the teasing, but if you try a couple times ahead of time, you’ll have an easy updo for all your fancy occasions!
Once again, Johnny Lavoy (my fave!) shows how to have a bob for a night, without a haircut. I love this, because it’s cute, and it’s the coolest idea. And so fast, too.
I know that I don’t make it out to get my haircut, eyebrows done, etc. as regularly as I should. I get busy and whoops! So here’s a great 3 minute tutorial on getting your eyebrows right yourself, to save a bit of money and time.
I know so many moms that run around in sweats or just ill-fitting clothes. I know I used to throw on whatever, especially in winter when I thought no one would see me. But I noticed every time I made the extra 2 minute effort to put on something nice for my honey, my mood always improved. But I would still throw on sweats most of the time, because it was habit.
If you want to dress nicer more often, here’s a tip – start with your shoes. Go out and buy a super-cute pair of flats, or wedges, or whatever makes you happy.
Leave them on the floor in the bedroom, and when you’re getting dressed, you can use them as an excuse to put on something nice. Who wears wedges with sweats, right?
I happen to love fall. At least when it’s sunny. It’s cool, crisp, smells amazing outside (at least when the neighbors aren’t burning something that smells suspiciously unlike leaves!) and we get to wear cute sweaters without bulky jackets.
But when it’s grey and rainy, it can get a little depressing because you know winters on it’s way.
So a quicky way I perk up my mood is by picking out a cute, bright color to wear.
According to Shine from Yahoo!, purple is the “in” color for this season. So try it. Get out of that bulky sweatshirt, and see if a moment of color doesn’t make you feel a little prettier.
