I think you're both :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750415991873842755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341972580242155933.post-63301096433416398262012-08-13T07:29:55.306-07:002012-08-13T07:29:55.306-07:00I am a half and halfer.

When I stay home, I don't bother with makeup or straightening my hair but when I go out, I want the world to see me how I view myself which is apparently with mascara and straight hair ;-). <br /><br />I was a sahm for many years and I found I really got into a bit of a rut and not spending any time on my appearance. I found that spending that few minutes a day (lets face it, sometimes that just means actually brushing the do)made me feel a bit better about myself and gave me the impetus to change another diaper or cook another meal. <br /><br />There is more than one brand of tinted moisturizer, eh? Cover Girl has one, on Amazon that is $6.24 which is the same price as just plain moisturizer and it has an SPF of 15 which you should be wearing anyways. Even in my sahm days, I moisturized every day and ya gotta admit, for 51, I don't have a lot of wrinkles. Also, for me to do my makeup from base, mascara, touch of eyeshadow, lip stain, takes me 5 minutes. My hair takes longer, stoopid curls!!!<br /><br />In the end, you are a smart woman and know yourself better than anyone and where spending your time serves you best. I am not trying to give you advice (except for cheap tinted moisturizer if you want it)but just saying, yep, been there baby and you have my understanding and hugs.<br /><br />Oh and we both have new do's, we should let them meet up soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058743598601827361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341972580242155933.post-40950524133374568972012-08-12T16:41:00.945-07:002012-08-12T16:41:00.945-07:00I can totally relate.

I have such a limited amount of "me" time, that I would rather spend it doing something that I view as productive (sewing, reading, baking, etc.) instead of putting effort into myself.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493721393475710385noreply@blogger.com
