One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

on
Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world."— Susan Lieberman   Traditions have a way of defining a family, provide stability and give hope. They are especially important for woking moms who spend so much time working to provide for their family that they may miss some of the "traditional" mom things like bake sales, volunteering at the book fair, and a host of actual and seemingly made up holidays.  They are also important for families trying to reinvent themselves in the wake of d...

How to be a Glamorous Mom!

on

Lots of moms have contacted me about my glamour series.  They have had questions about how to apply certain cosmetics, confessed to following my advice and looking like a new mommy, and have thanked me for sharing what I have learned.  For that reason, and because I have loved all things glamorous since I was playing with Barbies, it's not over!

I have a lot of tips and stories left to share. I'm sure that you're not surprised though. If you have followed this blog you know that I have an endless supply of stories!

Easy Glamour Tip for Moms


Here is the easy glamour tip for today: Look as good as you can, in the least amount of time, for the most cost effective price. 

Glamour is the all about projecting an effortless put together image. It is not about putting on airs or buying clothes you can't afford. You can't be glamorous if you're obsessing about how much you paid for your shoes and hoping that you don't scuff them at your event because you couldn't afford them anyway.  You can't be glamorous if you are terrified that the baby will spit up on your dress or you'll spill something on it because you planned to take it back after one wearing.   All that worrying tends to cause wrnkles too. And who wants those?!

Genearlly, I am all about looking like my look costs a fortune even though it actually might only cost as much as a few Happy Meals.  That allows me to splurge on special things on occasion.  We'll discuss splurging later.  Now, it is time to share some deals that I have found.

I perused the web and found some deals for moms who want an affordable glamorous look.  The "beauty in a box" deals below are each only $10.00, but valued at around $50.00. They're for those times when you have a special event and want more than just a basic glamorous look.  The smoky eye option can help you get "Hollywood, Kim Kardashian eyes" even if you live in Rochester, New York! :-) (shout out to my hometown)  Also, the lip liner below is only $3.00. 

So, what I am saying is you can buy the one of the eye options and the liner and transform your look for $13.00 + shipping costs.  I know you love your friends, but I won't judge you if you keep these deals to yourself.

 GO FORTH AND BE GLAMOROUS!!!
