@cyoung: I am definitely in a rut but don’t feel like I have the time to do anything about it! I will probably start with a hair cut and color!

I definitely feel like I am in a rut. I haven't gotten my hair cut in well over a year But I just found a new stylist and scheduled an appointment, I think I am going to take 6-8 inches off! So I think that will be a good start to getting out of the rut.

Yes, UGH I feel like I am in a total rut. I just had my 3rd child about a month ago, he's my last one and I do feel like a frumpy mess. I have spent the better part of the past four years either pregnant or breastfeeding and I have been thinking A LOT lately about how I need to start focusing on self care. I think I am going to come up with an action plan to try to outline some goals I have for myself. Some things I am going to try to do: start reading every day, putting on a little make up and actually get dressed in real clothes (I am a SAHM so I feel like I never "get ready" anymore but if I look better I do feel better), start practicing yoga in a studio once a week.

I probably only get my hair cut once or twice a year and I used to get my nails done on a regular basis but for budget reasons I stopped going but I really loved that time to myself. I feel you on the lash extensions. My lashes are terrible, I blame pregnancy and hormones.

Yeah I would love a makeover

I’ve been really sad since #3 because the pp hormones destroyed my hair. It’s so thin now, I was just looking at old pictures and noticing how it’s gotten progressively worse since I started having kids. Now it’s hard to make it look good even when I do have time.

My eyelashes also got destroyed when my hair loss phase started but I’ve been really happy with Grande Lash (or other similar lash conditioners). They really do work and something I can do at home in 2 seconds per night is right up my alley!

I would love a new wardrobe. Someday when I go back to work maybe!

@bhbee: My hair has been so awful since kids too. I have very fine hair, but it used to be somewhat thick, so it didn't bother me. Now with each kid, it seems like I never get the extra hair while pregnant but I still lose it by the handfull post-partum. My hair is so fine and thin now, it's very sad looking. I'm pregnant with my 3rd (and last) now, so I hope within a few years, it will start to come back!
