It is my third week back at work after my maternity leave.
My first week ended with a bad cold and I decided it was time to renovate this frumpy looking female in my reflection.
So said and done.
I have started a regime of skincare and everyday papering including facials almost daily, waxing of legs, manis and pedis and a brand spakin’ new haircut.
After my second week I have to agree that I both feel and look a whole lot out-in-public-friendly.
The only thing I have had to pay for was the haircut (thank god). The rest has been good old household remedies. Salt/olive oil facial and body scrub. Honey, sugar and colza- mask.
Olive oil, egg yolk and honey hair-pack.
It has indeed worked wonders for this almost-middle-aged mother of two.
So there, I am vain. I admit it.
Being a tad vain is good for the soul (not to mention your marriage) when you have two small children at home.
This past weekend was spent with my mother who came to visit.
She, unfortunately, came down with the flu but still did her best to play with the wee-ones.
She left for home and bed yesterday afternoon, I miss her already.
Husband is home on his 7 month paternity leave.
It seems like he is enjoying himself.
I know I am.
Our lord has blessed me with a man who is excellent at cleaning the house and who actually can cook. And very well too. The kids love their dad and thinks I am boooooring in comparison.
I can SO live with that.
I get to spend my days doing stuff I like doing as well as playing with my children before they go to bed. Me like.
I have a cuppa tea to drink and life to enjoy.
Until later.
