How do you get out of it and make yourself feel pretty again?
I've been in this slump for awhile it's starting to depress me, I hate looking at myself in the mirror.
I know some SAHM feel this way if they don't get dressed or wear makeup. But I get up every day and fix my hair, put on makeup and dress nice for work. I've been working out also.
I'm thinking I need new makeup routine or a fresh color and cut!
What do you do to make yourself feel pretty?

Oh no! You're SO gorgeous though.
Yes, I do get into those slumps, often. It helps me to buy a few new pieces of clothing, some make-up and to go running - all at once! When I can't do that, I try to take more time out for myself during the day.

Aww You are not alone!
I always get a boost from a cut/style/color! Or as cheesy as it is, make a list of mantras to proclaim in regards to how beautiful you really are! If you look in the mirror and talk negative to yourself, you will feel negative...try the reverse

Me! I've put on a little weight breastfeeding and it is such a downer. Exercise always makes me feel better, no matter how I look. I've given dieting another try and it's going ok so far, so I'm hopeful that this time will work.

All the time. Usually end up with a haircut, new outfit, new workout routine to boost my confidence and how I feel, and then I try to keep it going with better habits. Sometimes it lasts, sometimes doesn't.
I'm in a valley right now....trying to get out of a slump!
Hope your slump ends soon, and stays away

It typically a question of do I ever get out of my slump? Lol It is a rare, rare occasion that I feel attractive.

I always feel better when I watch my calories and really make an effort toward working out. I've always been slightly overweight, but when I'm doing something about it, I feel better.
I aso try to buy myself one or two "nicer" clothing items each month. And not Old Navy lounge clothes...things I'd actually wear to someplace nicer than the grocery store.
It's hard, especially when you SAH. For me, though, looking better = feeling better = nicer Mommy. I've been sucking at it, lately, too, but it's worth it to try!

Sure do! It's not very often that I do feel attractive unfortunately. I do my best to do my hair/makeup/semi-good clothes each day which gives me a boost that I attempted to look better. One of these days I'm hoping to spoil myself which hopefully will get me out of this slump even if it's for a little while.

I have been feeling this way. Maybe a new cut is the ticket! For me after talking about the easter bunny all day I don't feel too sexy to my so.

Yep! I will go workout, buy a new outfit, or just plain old make a point to put more effort into getting dressed.

Everybody does! I treat myself to a cute new top or some nail polish, maybe some makeup....something new!

Yes. Mine is usually weight-based more than looks otherwise. I battled an (thankfully mild) eating disorder in college and early law school. When I get down on my weight, I try to either make changes to feel better or tell myself that my body is meant to be a certain way and I need to love it as its meant to be! Someone easier said than done

Of course, I think everyone does. My best thing is buy a new outfit that I feel good in. Luckily my husband can recognize when I get in these downs and offer some sweet words.

Yup, I'm going through one of those slumps right now. Usually I get through it by getting a fresh cut/color, mani/pedi, buying myself some cute new wardrobe pieces (lately it's been boots! I know, I know, not very spring-y), and working out to lose a few lbs.
Needless to say, it gets expensive when I'm in a slump!

Yeah, this whole pregnancy 
Especially now that I'm exercising 4-5 days a week and still look like a puffball of pudge. It's pretty depressing. I've been making myself feel better with some cute accessories, doing my nails, and today I'm getting my hair trimmed. It doesn't always help, but it's better than looking at my arms in the mirror and bemoaning their resemblance to wings...
