Day Two: Put on Shoes

Oh, and do hair and makeup and get dressed. Let me tell you, that is a lot to ask for.



And I did it! I woke up and went straight to the bathroom. Alina came with me of course and I gave her a cookie (a healthy cookie). I must distract little one in order to get anything done. I moisturized my pregnancy acne ridden face and then put on concealer and mascara. I also warmed up my hair straightener to straighten my hair. That thing hasn't been used in over a year. Seriously.




There is the finished product for day two. I am sure I will gradually wear more make-up. It was actually weird not going through the whole hour ritual I used to do. And how easily it seems that you forget how much you used to do.

I am proud of myself. I stopped wearing makeup (except for special, rare occasions) when I was pregnant with Alina. I used the excuse, I'm pregnant. Then she was born and I used the excuse, I have a newborn. Then it was I have a baby and I have a toddler. And now I am pregnant again. NONE are good excuses (okay maybe there is a grace period 6 weeks post partum - but once the doctor says you are normal and okay the face and regular clothes should come back).

I used to say I would never leave the house with out normal clothes and make up on. I failed myself. But, today is the first step towards being me again. The girly, image conscious, feel good about myself - ME.


Oh, and just for fun - MY TOMATOES SPROUTED!
