Hi mommies! Di pa po ako mom pero Im just wondering. I live in a place where women nanganak lang ng isa pero parang 10 years na ang tinanda dahil napabayaan ang sarili. I understand that when moms take care of their kids talagang halos no time na for themselves pero meron namang mga moms na parang dalaga pa rin at mas lalo pa ngang gumanda nung nagka anak.

any comments on this? thank you mommies

Hi teklah,

naku sis true yan..Ako naman eh aminado, nung nabuntis ako eh nagstart na akong naging pabaya sa sarili in a way, kung nung dalaga ako eh glamorosa ako, bumaliktad ang panahon kasi cgro nagsawa na lang ako sa pagaayos.

Pero, things have changed. Simple way of making myself beautiful is, pag aalis putting some light make-up, magdamit ng maayos, nagpa-pa spa pag may oras ako lalo, bumubili parin ako ng pang beauty regimen ko, naglalagay ng scented lotion which is mahilig talga ako sa ganito, gumagamit ako ng age defying na soap kahit 27 palang ako, kasi obsessed ako sa skin ko, or kaya nasa bahay man ako na nakadaster, i make sure maganda parin ako sa paningin ng asawa ko. 

Kasi naman sis, pag naexperience mo maging mother bells, naku, totoong makakalimutan mo ang magayos kasi lalo pag bago panganak ka, puyat mode and all. Later on mo na marealize na ay, need ko na ng make over kasi baka iwan ako ni husband.. Lucky to say na kahit bihira na ako mag-make up love parin ako ni husband kahit ganun..

Pero may asawa ka na sis tekla>?

[teklah]

^oo sis, married na ako for 3 years, di pa nga lang nabibiyayaan ng baby, hehe!

madalas ko naisip kasi yan bagay na yan, pero pag nagkababy na ako okay lang na pumanget (ng konti ), anything for motherhood and my baby di ba!, haha!

Ako, I'm happy na meju nag-mature yung itsura ko. Siguro kasi hindi naman sobra-sobra yung ipinagbago ng itsura ko.

Feeling kasi namen ng hubby ko hindi kami seseryosohin kapag mukha kaming bata.

I also made it a point to wear appropriate clothes lalo na't may anak na ako. HIndi na ako nag-backless and hindi na rin ako nag-spaghetti strap. 20 lbs din kasi yung na-gain ko.

Kaya important na may ME-time ang mga mommies. Time with friends. Time to do the things that you like. Sabe nga, when your happy it shows.

What do you mean na not having to spend time para makaiwas sa pagkalosyang?

[shy (sharlyn)]

I'm a mother of two kids.  My eldest will be turning twelve this December, while my youngest will turn two next month.
I think, becoming "losyang" will commence as a state of mind and a state of heart.
Ibig sabihin, kahit medyo nag-gain ka ng weight, or hindi ka na kasing flawless ng dati, or feeling mo, may wrinkles na... if you're still happy, it'll show.

Pero syempre, dapat talaga, wag pabayaan ang sarili. Take time na mag-ayos. I mean, wag kalimutan mag suklay at magpabango. Or mag-make up na light. Magsuot ng maayos at presentable na mga damit.  Kapag may extra budget, magpa-parlor or magpa-facial or magpa-massage din once in a while.  Live healthy too. If feeling natin eh parang need natin mag exercise or mag diet, go!   (Actually, ako, payatot ako, so gusto ko sanang mag-gain ng weight. )  Basta, mag-ayos lang. Then, kapag nagtatanong si hubby bakit nagpapaganda ka.. sabihin na lang natin.. "eh di para naman maganda at mapagmamalaki mo ang wife mo"

[teklah]

^Hi mommy! what i meant was, yung hindi gugugol ng maraming oras para lang magpaganda like half day sa spa or salon mga tipong ganun, hehe!

[♥maarte♥]

sis teklah,

medyo matagal na pala kayo sis married ng husband mo noh... hmmm... pero while waiting for your baby, mas magandang prepared ka na sa lahat... pag may baby na kasi talagang una sa list lagi ang baby... kaya minsan kahit may "me time" ka, parang hindi mo pa rin mabigyan ng time ang sarili mo...

ako sis pag alam kong pwedeng magtagal sa banyo, tinatagalan ko... hehe... super ligo at talagang i'll make sure paglabas ko eh mabango ako... hehe... basta di kelangan magbayad ng mahal para maging maganda... minsan, kelangan talagang dapat feel mo rin sya deep within... para yung natural glow na lang ang magdadala... 

[shy (sharlyn)]

^Hi mommy! what i meant was, yung hindi gugugol ng maraming oras para lang magpaganda like half day sa spa or salon mga tipong ganun, hehe!

Kung wala kang time for spa and salon.. pwede naman na stay beautiful ka lang kahit sa house lang.. Like, yun nga, wear clothes na presenatable and always try to smell fresh. Tapos, alagaan mo din yung skin mo. Mild lotion will do. Kapag nagmake-up ka ng konti, bago matulog, make sure that you wash your face. Eat right.  Then, always stay happy. 

Kapag naman may time ka na, eh di saka isingit si salon and spa.  hehe

Hi! It requires discipline, time and money pero you might want to consider the following:

1. not to the point na aabutin ka ng more than 5 hours sa salon or spa [usually 3hours max na ko pag hair treatment dahil nabobore ako pag super tagal] and I make sure that I compare the price first before availing a spa or salon service para I can choose the one na hindi masyadong pricey pero good pa rin ang quality.

2. sa clothes, shoes, bags and makeup shopping, it doesn't necessarily mean na better kung mas mahal. May mga affordable brands naman na ok din ang quality tsaka I'd always go for 'classics' para I use it longer, hindi lang dahil nasa trend.

3. if you ever feel like you need to lose weight, then be strict with your diet and excercise. Better if you stick with an all-veggies-and-fruits diet kasi super effective talaga. No need na for pills or any other commercial 'pampapayat' products which could cost you more.

hi sis.

i've never really been into taking too much of my time in looking good. not that i don't need it he he.

mas focused lang ako in making myself healthier. eating the right kinds of food. exercise. thinking positive. enough sleep. being in a good relationship. being spiritual. not only thinking of one's self, but of others, our country, other people, our environment.

i think all those things will help any one to look good because you feel good inside.

medyo na focus lang sa baby but i'm getting my groove back.

i think one has to make some effort din, spend some time and money (within reason and budget of course) to have a good appearance. 

skin regimen you will follow, exercise or sports you like (walking is a good exercise!), feeling great while wearing what you are comfortable in!

[wendystar]

the other mommies are right sis. 

ako, kahit nasa bahay lang ako, i still wear lipgloss at face powder.  i always try to keep my hair na maayos tignan or kung talagang mainit, i make sure na naka-ponytail siya. i still wear shorts, pero not too maikli especially when going out (ayaw ni hubby siempre). i don't wear duster. kahit sabihin comfy siya, hindi ko pa din feel parang mas naiinitan pa nga ako.  my husband also tells me if i don't look good on something.

eat healthy food, exercise and always smile. yun siguro yung the best tips. 

[tineped]

Healthy living lang sis saka always smile.

[yhamsloveŽ]

eat healthy food, exercise and always smile. yun siguro yung the best tips. 

except the "exercise"... this is my practice also. 

actually, wala naman ako masyadong ginagawa para hindi magmukhang losyang. basta kung ano ginagawa at sinusuot ko (tank tops and shorts) nung dalaga pa ako, ganon pa rin, hindi ko na inalis yun sa practice ko.

ako kase, hindi ko dinadamdam na... "naku 30 na ako.. ang tanda ko na..." kase, i can always make myself feel young inside!

hi sis! i'm really a fan of mommies na kahit may anak na still beautiful and younger looking pa din. 

our fellow sp moms are right, it still depend on us naman kung pano natin ibabalance ang family,career and syempre time sa sarili natin. me personally as a working mom, importante din talaga to look good kahit simple lang,presentable and confident kase it doesn't mean naman na basta may anak na dun na natatapos lahat. i think kung maalaga ka sa sarili mo,you feel good about yourself and syempre ganun din si hubby na mas magiging proud pa sya. every once in a while, i still give myself some "me time" like yung simple mani and pedi session or new haircut,enjoy the company of people with a cheerful disposition and in a way,i feel good about myself.
