I took this pic after coming back from my very rare pre birthday dinner with my beloved partner. Something I wish we could do more of.
Sadly, it;s not a usual thing for me as we have to budget for the second baby.
I did however, managed to have my make up done professional at Inglot, a germany professional make up brand, cheaper than MAC and easier to get in without a booking.
I had fake lashes on, very dramatic and equally ego-boosting.
The last time I did the fake lashes when on my wedding night and that was 3 years ago.
Even my darling youngest sister is a pro at applying these tricky beauty treatments but the results is ultra amazing.
I am keen on those lash extension but my eye is far too delicate for those longer lasting lash addition.
However, it did work magic on my esteem and for the next 2 hours of dinner, I never felt so ....comfortably happy.
Being a mother can ruin one;s esteem. I barely have time to comb my hair or brush my teeth. Taking pictures without my make up is not an easy task.
No one like to admit they are getting older, fatter and ...look more like an aunty/ si lai?
It;s quite damaging and could add more stress to any possible post natal depression. In fact, I found out I can even get pre natal depression, ie, you can accept pregnancy in a bad way. No everyone is cut out for the pregnancy ride. The worst anyone can do it judge you, what you should do and not do and what a fitting mother is?
Getting older only makes me more comfortable in my skin and most importantly, knowing what matters. Little things do not bother me anymore.
Things like stretch marks, gaining weight, going up a dress size, untidy hair, going au natural ( make-up free), eating for two, letting others help me and admitting that it will take time for me to adjust and get my life back in order.
