Kids, eh? You love them but they never give you time to look gorgeous.
When you do finally book the babysitter and reserve a table at a fancy restaurant, fitting in with the latest fashion trends feels like trying to time travel to the future. When you’ve got sprogs grabbing onto your legs, keeping up with Grazia’s latest advice isn’t your most pressing concern.
So how can you maintain a splendid appearance while you bring up your kids? For a start, try a few of these tips.
All about that chin
Despite what Meghan Trainor might have you believe, it’s not entirely about that bass this year. For some people, once on the lips isn’t a lifetime on the hips but it’s a nightmare for their double chin.
And knowing how to reduce a double chin once it’s there can be an uphill struggle, unless you can find the perfect solution.
You’ll have seen plenty of these formulas on the high street. Miraculous effects!, Astounding results! and Unbelievable cures! But most of these products would make snake oil salesmen embarrassed.
However, some products have been tested to perfection and can tighten skin muscles effectively enough to make that double chin disappear.
Shop around and find the right product for you.
Your 15 a day
Finding the time to head to your local gym when your little uns need looked after isn’t always possible. But luckily for you it’s not always necessary either.
Instead of making your exercise regime a Full Metal Jacket style ordeal, compress it into a simple 15 minutes a day. When your kids are napping, focus on one quadrant a day and build up a sweat.
While that brief workout won’t give you abs of steel, it will give you a healthier appearance and keep you trim for those rare evenings out.
Get the kids involved
Your children don’t have to be bystanders to your good health. If you can get them involved in your exercise plan and diet, you won’t have to wait for snatches of time alone to keep fit and healthy.
Prepare superfoods for your kids that you’d eat yourself and teach them that living a healthy lifestyle is one route to happiness in life. Soon, they’ll be raring to join in with whatever you’re doing to keep yourself looking good.
Make your own style
DIY isn’t a dirty word in fashion in fact, it’s how the style world turns.
Kit yourself out in clothes you feel reflect your personality, as opposed to what fashion magazines report. When you’ve got a style you feel comfortable with, you’ll have a timeless look that is pure you.
