A birthday letter to myself

Dear Ashlyn

Happy 29th birthday to you! 

Dressing up for work in 10 mins

Yes, this sounds like a little drill!

But true enough, it has been my mornings for the past 16 months! Even when I wake up 2-2.5hrs ahead of my work reporting time, I could only manage to squeeze in 10 mins to dress up myself - make up, hair and change. There's always a diaper to change, something to pack and a baby to entertain, so I always keep things simple and minimal.

I ask not for a makeover but looking presentable, pleasant and groomed is something that tops my list. After being a mother, it's probably the only way to make me feel normal. I can't hide the fact that motherhood has gotten me - thinned and wavy hair, heavier eye bags, wider hip, "toned" arms, wrinkled tummy and the list goes on.

Along the way, I learnt to embrace my imperfections while slowly working towards my body goals. It's afterall the body that has nourished Emma for 37 weeks & 4 days and provided her with 14.5 months of breastmilk.

So, I trained to dress up in the most efficient way. Read how I rush through my morning routine to look a little more decent and 10 tips to save the days! Please share with me if you have more tips!!

This is my standard day to day look with slightly damp hair achieved in 10 mins.

Pray that all pimples, eye bags, panda eye etc go far far away from me...

I pray for healthy skin...

Went ADONIS with Joyce last Thurs. =D It's so nice of her to share with me her package. It was my 3rd time there. Jun & Jul for my wedding photoshoot. Dec & coming Jan for my actual wedding day.

 

Whole process took about 80 mins and it was quite a comprehensive one, it started off with removal of make-up, cleansing of face, trimming eyebrow, removal of black heads using machine & manual, massage, face mask & eye mask, lots of cleansing and lastly some creams.
My skin is slightly dry as I don't use toner & moisturiser regularly =P Hmm, am trying hard to use them daily now. Got to take good care of my skin.. no breakout between these few months, PLEASE...

=D

Clearing my off-in-lieu for Deepavali today.... =D

Hope to clear bit of my getting-longer-to-do list. ehehe..
