The Hot Mom Challenge {Wrapping it Up}

What it's June already?  I learned a lot from this challenge and I hope you did too.  Here's what I learned.

• All it takes is a little will power and I can do anything.
• People treat you completely differently based on how you look.  It's just the way it is.  People are friendlier and more helpful and smile more.   
• I can do full on makeup in about 5 minutes if I need to.  
• Picking out my clothes and accessories the night before is a lifesaver and makes it so much easier to get out the door.  It makes my mind clearer while I'm getting ready.  I can focus on the day and not what I'm going to wear or what earrings would work with my outfit. 
• Sometimes its impractical to get all gussied up.  It's okay to wear jeans, a t-shirt and Toms.  I just make sure to always wear mascara and lip gloss.  Those two things make me look like I give a shit.
• I am not some Mom out of a magazine or TV show and I think she doesn't really exist.  That Kelly Ripa Electrolux commercial makes me want to throw my laundry at the TV.
• Teaching my children about looking presentable is important.  Not because of the way people will treat you but because taking the effort, putting time into yourself and caring for yourself is. 

I'm not going to look like a "Hot Mom" everyday from now on, but this challenge let me know that she is in there and I can pull her out anytime I need to.
