There are a lot of great products for smoothing out hair. And for makeup, a natural look that enhances your beauty... and doesn't look "made up" is a great daily look. Too many at-home mom's adopt an "I don't have time" frump look, and after being a "single woman" for six months, I learned you never want to fall into that. My divorced friends look great every time they leave the house and always have their eyes open for men... and the men return those looks.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
