[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damn, y'all are harsh. I'm kind of in OP's situation and I not only do not have time to spend 3 hours at the salon every 8 weeks, but I also simply do not have the money to hire a babysitter to do that. I do makeup every day and it is HARD to make sure I do. I kind of have to because I hate my skin, but it makes our mornings very difficult for me to carve out 10 minutes for myself like that while DH is getting breakfast ready, putting away dishes, keeping baby safe, etc. As a result, I am always 10 minutes late to work and I haven't styled my hair in a year. It's also hard to motivate yourself to spend an entire weekend shopping to get some nice clothes when that will place a crazy burden on your spouse in terms of childcare, cleaning, food prep, shopping, etc. I try to shop online but end up returning 90% of things because I need to try them on and see them in person.

That said, OP, I do think if you can spend 3 minutes putting on blush and mascara that makes a big difference if you already have decent skin. Maybe find a way to do a "fancier" ponytail or something so you can style your hair in two minutes. I tried Stitch Fix and didn't really like it, but maybe it would work for you?[/quote]

Excuses excuses.  Can't you put your kid in a stroller and go shopping?

Wake up 30 minutes earlier and do your hair.

LOL, you do not know my children. No, I cannot drag them along shopping with me. Getting in a 30-minute grocery trip is difficult enough.

And no, I also cannot wake up at 4:30 to do my hair. Pretty sure DH wouldn't appreciate that I was (even more) chronically sleep deprived and cranky but had good hair. Sometimes you just gotta be frumpy for a couple of years.[/quote]
