I am shamefully vain i have been exfoliating shaving everywhere legs underarms lady garden (i do that blind haha) i make sure that im smooth every day my eyebrows are done, Nails, on feet and fingers filed and painted i also file scrub and moisturise feet after every shower, i deep conditon every shower aswel i have really thick hair! lol
I then either fake tan or just normal moisturiser all over,
I have no control over my size or the fact that even my mat clothes are tight! so im trying to make myself feel better!

I know all that sounds like it takes ages but it doesnt its all done when im in the shower/just out,
The longest is blowdrying& straightening my hair! lol!!! but i only do that every 2nd day, I have a daughter a husband and a house to run so i make sure i can do all of this super quick, i am well aware that most will stop once i have baby ! lol

with regards to eyelashes i heat my curlers up ith a warm hairdryer not too hot! and use that to hold the curl before mascara! works for me x

book yourself a spa day somewhere, centre parks does them at all their centres so its worth a look, I find just making the effort to put a little bit of makeup on each day makes me feel loads better , being sahm then ive kinda let the beauty regime go with being pregnant,

miss_bump - why don't you try heating eyelash curlers with the hairdryer a bit then curling them !
I think that once you put a bit of make up on and do your hair you always feel better about yourself !
ive also got a voucher for a pamper day for after the LO is here !..
can't wait to be able to lie on my tummy again for a massage !

I think I need to start pampering myself. My hair is in a state - since I've been pregnant the dye seems to just wash right out so I'm now rocking an attractive black dyed ends/brown regrowth/horrifying amount of grey look. I had given up, but maybe I should sort it out!

A trip to the salon is in order.

As for any beauty tips, my skin changed instantly for the better when I stopped using harsh cleansers and switched to olive oil to wash my face. It dissolves makeup instantly. No more spots ever, no dry patches and way less wrinkles than my sisters. I've been using it for about 7 years and would never go back to chemical cleansers.

Ooh, like the sound of using olive oil............do you use it just like you would do a cleanser? Do you need to use anything else before or afterwards? Any particular type of olive oil - pomace, extra virgin, plain old regular?
