Not So Suave

For me the Suave Shampoo commercial that has the Mom with crappy hair, dressed sloppy and has kids hanging on her could very well be me. Except a bottle of Suave Shampoo is just not going to cut it to make me over. I have found that although I LOVE being a Mom, that my physical appearance has taken a back seat.

Call it lack of time, a toddler decidedly wants you attention as soon as you enter the bathroom or just being tired, but I on an every day basis look a bit rough. I even realized after talking with a friend of mine, that I don't have "sexy" pants. You know the type of pants you put on that just makes your butt look fabulous, your legs look skinny and you just feel like a hot piece of you know what in them? Yeah, I don't have those and haven't had those for a while. I am not complaining about the lack of sexy pants, so don't get me wrong. I just was surprised about my realization of not having them when they used to be so important to me.

I used to think of myself (trying not to sound too cocky or too confident) as kind of pretty. I just don't see that same side to me when I look in the mirror anymore. I want to look pretty and hot for my husband so he can have that same pride when we go out with that look that says "yeah this is my chick." I find that testosterone sort of facial look quite sexy in my man. I can't speak for him and he probably does see me as pretty when I glam up a bit. I just am my own worst critic.

I'll get there. I just need to find the confidence as a woman. I see my inner beauty just not outer beauty and its a bit weird for me.
