Beauty for Busy Moms

Being a mom means waking up, getting the kids fed and ready for the day, perhaps helping your husband do the same, and oh yeah. Getting yourself ready, too. If looking polished and pretty is just an afterthought for you, it doesn't have to be. You can get a glam look - or at least fake it - as quickly as you can throw on a pair of sweatpants. First, start with that ponytail that is a popular addition to the "mom uniform." Twist up that ponytail into a messy bun and secure it with Goody's new Spin Pin. It takes the place of a bazillion bobby pins, securing your bun effortlessly. If you're wearing your hair down and it could use a wash, just give it a spray with some dry shampoo. It's the easiest way to tone down greasies and add volume. A good volumizing hairspray will cure limp hair as well. Just give it a brush, a spray and a pouf, and you're done. For frizzy hair, invest in a good straightening iron to give your hair a just-blown-out look.
