Club SAHM

[Angelight]

Hi dovetail,


I only use sunblock (a must), lip balm, lipstick and powder foundation, that's all. As SAHMs, we tend to revolve around our hubby and kids and liekly to neglect ourselves, in terms of health and appearance. So it's vital that we exercise (so as to maintain our weight and keep fit), and not forgetting that occasional (some may have regular if budget allows) facial and massage treats.

dovetail:

Angelight, How much make up do you use. I'm down to just lipstick. Used to use foundation and powder and blusher but too lazy now.

Somehow, do you guys sometimes feel that as a caregiver, we give and give and it's like our looks don't really matter much. How do you motivate yourself to look good despite all the cooking, chores, kids studies, etc ?

Oh yes, and i spray perfume too whenever I go out...I'm a perfume collector.

But for myself the item must be discounted, plus with card discount and still within my budget before I will buy

Same same. But sometimes, when I see the way dh spurlges on his golf, I feel a little imbalance why am I so hard on myself :razz:

I must apply lipstick, sunblock and perfume before going out...that is a must. The other thing I insist on is a branded bag once a while. Oh yes, I have a weakness for mobile phone too

:lol: :lol: understand, understand.....My DH spurlges on plants. I look at this way. He's working hard to earn money for the family, (of course we also work hard for the family), so as long as he control his spending, I will let him have his de-stresser.

We all need some form of pampering to spur ourselves on...keep relationship going.
A lot of times, we often neglect our other halves because of the children and the crazy education system which zaps up a lot of energy. Recently, hubby has transferred to another dept where he has to go to the office everyday, I miss those days when he works from home...we went to IMM for coffee or ice kachang - just 2 of us.

Hi sahm mummies,


my DH splurge on remote control planes. I try to keep quiet abt it but if he spent too much then I will remind him gently not to buy anymore.
Sometimes they can go overboard.
