      Since there is no maid, SAHMs have to do everything. I do have a weakness for handbags though :evil: then of course have to look presentable when going out, whether with him or by myself. Right? Lipstick and perfume must-haves.

      Just reminded me that my lipsticks n perfume collection oredi expired...collecting dust on the shelf.I used to work in Loreal,so u can imagine how many freebies i received....All the colours,u name it,i've it.

        My son asked me why I don’t go out without lipstick. Told him I need to upkeep so that I do not become 黄脸婆. Since I do not apply makeup, lipstick is essential. And that whiff of perfume is heavenly.

              Without maid, it is freedom. Can put all cash or jewellery anywhere. Coins in the washing machine also anyhow put.

              Maid is only suitable if there are many members in the family such as seniors, disabilities, bungalow/terrace houses.
              Sleep with the maid good meh?

                  Oh yes, without a maid, I do not have to worry if the jewellery can ‘walk’.

                  Even bought a nice jewellery stand to put on my table. Unless there is an urgent need for a maid because of whatever reason, it is really hard to adjust having one stranger in the house.

                        Mummies, some tips I’ve been using to save time when in

                        A rush- I no longer use foundation just tinted sunblock- so at least removing would be easier too. No mascara- if really need be just fake eyelashes.
                        No more painted nails- just top coat so that nails looks healthy and shiny.
                        My only problem now is weight loss- cos there is no short cut! Boo!
