Be impractical (once in a while):
Moms appreciate comfortable shoes, but don’t be afraid to step into those sexy heels again. Daddy sure will appreciate it!
Walk tall:
Be proud of who you are and don’t be afraid to show your stuff. Throw your shoulders back, be yourself with pride and respect, chances are other people will take notice!
Refuse to gossip:
It may be difficult at first if gossiping has become your primary means of communicating with others. Find other things to talk about, and if you must gossip a little, do so in a friendly way.
Get hairy:
Being a mom does not mean you should schedule an appointment for one of those easy hairdos. Instead, keep your regular appointments for haircuts and color treatments. It’s the way you like it, right?
Put on some makeup:
A bit of lip gloss, eyeliner, and foundation is enough to not look so mom-like. This is especially the case if you wore makeup before motherhood.
Carry the baby:
You’re probably carrying your child around all day. Don’t let an overloaded bag put additional stress on your shoulders and back. Take what you need, don’t be afraid to forget something.
Easy on the gear:
Having some babygadgets is fine, but leave some room and money for your own gear.
Be sexy:
Motherhood is a life-changing experience, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be sexy like you were! Reintroduce regular bras and lingerie into your wardrobe and make yourself wear no more than one piece of baggy clothing.
What it all comes down to is how you feel about yourself. If you are happy with how you look and the life that you live, that’s great! Don’t change a thing. Just remember, you have the choice about what kind of life you live and what kind of mom you want to be.
