Mommy Style: Beauty on a Budget

Being a mom is tough. Looking like a million bucks ( or even like you had a good nights sleep) is even tougher at times.  Keeping beauty on a budget...not all that tough. Thanks to some high quality drug store products, keeping yourself beautified while keeping your pocketbook unharmed is very much possible.

First off, I have to rave to you all about Rimmel mascaras. They are anywhere from $4.00-$9.00 and work just as well for other tubes of mascara that can sell for around $30.00. Rimmel makes so many different types of mascara as well, so you are bound to find one thats works for you. Taking a minute to swipe on a few coats of mascara before you head out the door can help lend a tired mommy a well rested and bright eyed look.

Last week in a quick pinch I reached for my husbands bottle of head and shoulders two in one shampoo and conditioner thinking, "great now my hair will be all messed up today". Wrong. My hair was wonderfully clean, smooth and great smelling. Almost more so than when I use some of my much more expensive shampoos.

These are just under $5.00 at Target. Smell amazing, feel amazing and well are just pretty amazing. I use them to wipe off any makeup before I shower at night.

If you are on a budge, you don't have to sacrifice your beauty regime. Their are plenty of products that feel just as luxurious and work just as effectively as your more expensive brands. What beauty item do you use when you are on a budget?

Mommy Makeover Tip: H20

We mommies use water on a daily basis for many things. Washing our littles ones, brushing our teeth, watering gardens, making bottles, washing bottles...so many things we do with water.

However, a lot of times we neglect to drink up this crystal clear liquid we sometimes refer to as H2O. Well mommies here is to drinking more water, not only in the name of health but in the name of beauty as well. Drinking lots of ice cold refreshing water not only quenches thirst but it aids in mommy makeovers...I promise.

Beauty benefits of drinking more H2O.

• Clear and radiant complextion
• Detoxifying
• Glossier hair
• Brighter eyes
• Increased energy

So mommies...its time to drink up. This easy tip will aid us in looking beautiful which makes us feel better inside and out. Keep chilled water bottles in your purse, at your desk and take one wherever you go. At home? Keep a pretty glass pitcher in your refrigerator.

Make it pretty, add lemon slices or frozen berries. Drink from a pretty glass. Buy a water bottle that you think is adorable. Drink H2O!
