I work full time have to be at work at 6:30am and get off at 4:30pm when i get home i take care of baby and clean and make dinner. My question is how do you mama's make time to at least do your hair in the morning. I know i need to start feeling better about my self so ive started working out and trying to watch what i eat but i feel in order to keep motavation i need to see a prettier me lol. Some mornings i wake up late and dont even brush my hair i just throw it up throw my clothes on grab the kido to take him to the baby sitters and brush my teeth at work! I never do my hair or make up anymore, anyone have any items they love? I have long hair so id like to have it down more because its NEVER down anymore... (sorry so long)

    I'm the same way! So I try and do my hair the night before. so I just have to go back over it.

    Thats a good idea, i never thought of that @starlilly

    For me, a blow dry takes about 10 minutes but it gives my hair good volume and straightens it. But there are lots of women who shower the night before and use their straightener in the morning.

    As far as makeup goes, what about a quick application of mascara and a bit of foundation? Sometimes that look is all you need! :)

    If I'm trying to look good, which I'll admit is rare these days, I wash my hair at night half blow dry apply some mousse then braid so its wavy in the am.

    I have this same problem and it is making me miserable! I would never leave the house without doing my hair and make up before the kids, now I barely ever do! I have set out my basic stuff to use on my side so it is easy to find, no searching through a big bag and I plan on doing it before the kids wake up if possible. With the hair, same as other ladies, just washed it and then can straighten in the morning! Good luck!

    Get an extra set of make up (i only use eye shadow, lip gloss and mascara) and keep it in your purse. If you are running late apply it once you get to work before you get out of the car. Literally takes 2-3 mins. I put my stuff on in the car more times than not.

    I work ft as well so I know exactly what you mean. I get my clothes ready the night before. I straighten my hair everyday which takes 15min and on the days I have time I'll curl it. I carry my makeup bag wherever I go.lol So if I'm running late I'll put my makeup on at work.

    Take a shower at night and braid your hair so its wavy in the morning. Use white eye shadow on the tear ducts of your eyes. Blend really well, add mascara, some eye liner on the bottom, and some lip gloss. Takes about 10 mins or less to do your hair and makeup &you can be,out,the door. Oh and keep a concealer in your purse for "emergencies" at work. Also if your skin gets oily use one of those thin toilet seat covers to blot- works wonders :)

    Found this out the other day by accident I have long hair & I took a shower twisted it in a high bun (still wet) & when I let it down after in tge morning it was so pretty. Also bronzed & or blush on clean skin mascara & lip gloss looks good

    I think u need to do it night before. Like what some of the others said when u shower then braid it that's my favorite. Or now u can even put it in a sock bun after you're shower it will look curly in the morning . But with make up if your in hurry as long as you have mascara and lip gloss it does wonders and u can add to it on the days u have little more time.

    @molly it isnt lol I never have time I swear. I need to just make time tho

    Like @2600wifey said throw your hair up in a messy bun and sleep like that. I do it often. Usually its atill damp in the morning when I do it so I can add a little more curl by quickly scrunching a little bit of mousse in. So easy and super cute. As for make up, I do foundation, mascarra, amd eyeliner. It takes me about fifteen minutes maybe. Good luck!

    My mom watches Tessa while I work and always comes an hour early so I can get ready. I'm SO spoiled in that way lol. But now that Tessa is older she can occupy herself while I get ready. I'm a hairstylist so I feel like I have to be really "done" to go to work. When I get home it all falls apart lol.
