Dear Elder,
As a working mother with small children, I have been finding it harder and harder to keep up my once “glamorous” appearance, or at least it seemed glamorous compared to what it now is! I am not as skinny as I once was and have difficulty finding time to primp and pamper myself as much as I once did. I feel like I am letting myself go and need some advice on some quick tips or ideas you might have on reinventing myself and primping in about half of the time that I used to have before children and a full time job.

Dear Mousy Mom,
During my career I worked as a
Cosmetology Instructor for Beauty Schools and know many quick tips and tricks that any busy mother can use in order to look her best at the drop of a hat! First never forget the basic makeup necessities before leaving the house, which include foundation, mascara, lipstick, and blush. Start with foundation to cover any imperfections and remember if you are out of blush you can always use lipstick as a substitute. Another great tip that I love is when out of shampoo you can use vinegar (light vinegar for lighter hair) which removes unwanted oil and ads shine.
