unlocking my inner MILF - calling all neglected mums

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

This thread inspired me. Liebling and I spent two hours at the hairdressers yesterday. Both got haircuts, I had colours put in.

DH hasn't noticed yet. Now i remember why I don't bother so much! Ah well. Going to have to do my eyebrows now so they suit the new hair.

I put on moisturiser
If I get a chance with no sick kids will shave tomorrow

Flyingbutter - if you feel more special having your hair freshly done, then I think that's all that matters, bugger whether anyone else notices!

I finally shaved my legs after 2 months, wanted to get it done before belly gets too big and I topple over! I'm shocking at moisturising afterwards though - usually I sweet talk DH into helping me out with it

Awsome thread!

i splashed out on the clerance rack in kmart last week, bought some sexy new bras and some knikers (not so sexy) that actualy have elastic! first new undies in 4 years yipes!

friday i convinced df to watch the older 3 today so i could go the hairdressers, but couldnt bring myself to go, its in the plans if i get a chanse during the week, will take a bit of courage as i want to just tell them to go for it... i NEED something done so i look like im about to turn 24 not 14... last time i went was just over a year ago for a trim, she hacked so bad it still hasnt grown right.

i can see it now, df asking who im trying to impress!

I had to laugh.
I had my hair cut the other day (about 4 inches off) when I got home I straightened it and did my eyebrows and gave myself a little facial.
When I went to the shops I dropped my sunglasses and a guy rushed over to pick them up for me, them I had trouble opening my car door with the bags so another guy came over to open it for me, then the guy at the city farmers flirted with me and gave me a free fish (things that do not happen when I look frumpy )
I tell you what that little ego boost gave me a nice lift...just what I needed

Great stuff RainbowBrite! Keep it up

Actually got a compliment from my boss today (yes I know not a PC thing these days), first time wearing a skirt since my interview

[~Minny~]

This thread inspired me to do a couple of things.....im sick of looking frumpy. I got my hair done, monobrow done, brought some new knickers and bras and threw out all the ones that "could" last that little bit longer Feel so much better already

[Feijoa Mum]

Woo hoo go you sexy things you! I wore my one and only dress today for the first time since forever! When I came out of my bedroom everyone including DH asked where I was going? What was I all flashed up for? Who was coming over? DS even went and got his shoes and asked if he could come with me? They were all most disappointed when I went and hung out the washing and went about my normal Monday! I am still going well and I have added perfume to my routine this week. I usually save it for good but lets be honest I dont go out enough and the stuff goes off before I use it!

maybe i'm the only one, but i find the actual term "MILF" - really offensive.

i would like to take care with my appearance (if only i knew what to do), i'd like a special someone to desire me, but if i got dressed up, and was referred to as a MILF, i would be so upset.

I bought a hair straightener late last year, so i could straighten my hair and look presentable when i'm out in public with my DD, i don't want her to be ashamed of me, straight hair doesn't suit everyone, i don't think it suits me, and i can't work out anything else to do with my hair, not that i think i used the straightener correctly anyhow.

Despite buying heaps of anti-frizz treatments, i can't keep the flyaways under control. It was so easy when i was younger, i just washed and dried my hair, after brushing, i had gorgeous waves, NOW i understand the phrase "your crowning glory", cos up to a few years ago, i had that. Now it's gone, i need to work at it, after decades of never needing to use a hairdrier to style my hair, i have no clue what to do. Even after "making an effort", don't end up with a good look. My confidence is gone, and i'm sick of buying products blind.

it would be so nice to be able to trade my maternity bras in, for non-maternity bras (i've been wearing them since Autumn 2006). i can opshop clothing, but not underwear.

[Schmickers]

Well, after four years of wearing maternity abras, DW has just bought her first "normal" bra, and she looks gorgeous! Can I just say, though, how much I hate the term "MILF"? Maybe I've just watched too much porn, but I find it really objectionable.

[Emma09]

Oh Hugh Gigi- we need to help you with some confidence girlfriend!
WRT the hair straightener and using it correctly- can you have a look on you tube for some videos demonstrating what to do?
Are you near a hair house warehouse? They can show you how to use the straightener to do all sorts of fab things- just pretend you're buying something :-)
For frizz- I use 2 products... Both names escape me now :-(
I'll have a look and get back to you....

If straight hair doesn't suit you- can you wear hair accessories? Or you other products to make your hair behave?

[Kimbles01]

Maybe instead of MILF, we go with hot mamma?

[PumpkinZulu]

Yeah...I'd much rather be a MILTTHAC...Mother I'd Like To Take Home And Cuddle

[Gigi]

wow, i thought i'd get flamed, for daring to say my opinion about MILF. i was wrong.

[tellytubby]

Lol, I dont see why you'd get flamed for that. I must say, I do agree it's a bit abrupt! Haha ! I love pz's acronym, milthac (is that right?!)

Rainbow, wow!!! I want that attention too!!!

I bought myself a pair if shes yesterday! No more thongs!

[tellytubby]

*pair of shoes!

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Going to woolies today, might actually stop in the beauty section, find myself a nice body scrub.
Any suggestions on a tinted moisturiser that's not overly expensive?

What else can I do for 'me' while I can't actually go shopping?

ZF - I used to use the Australis one - wasn't too excy from memory but I use a mineral make up one now so I'm not too sure. You could put nail polish on toes/hands? Have a bath (with or without kids!) Do your hair, wear some nice knickers, wear a nice pair of earrings, put on some makeup/lip gloss.
