Feeling Sexy Lately?

So I was reading a very good article from @parenting called "How to be a mom and still feel sexy". It got me thinking quite a bit. To be honest, I always struggled with "feeling sexy" thing. I always struggle with self worth and I am my worst enemies. I don't take compliments well which makes my husband's job a littler harder lol. Society tends to tell us what is sexy and how to get there. In turn, motherhood completely takes that away. Like the article mentioned, imagine your self not showered for 3 days, hair a mess, and pumping breast kill and leaking everywhere!!! Sexy is so out the window!!! I must admit I laughed at the image because been there done that.

What exactly IS sexy???? Believe it or not the answer is only within you. Fashion magazines (although I live them) and celebrities make it look like its all in the outside when it is not. Some women feel sexy when they improve their intelligence others feel sexy by pampering themselves for themselves.... I feel great when I go shopping!!!! I just feel like another person altogether. 

So, the article had some interesting and useful suggestions/tips. Here are some:

1. Buy something that fits: many people told me to NOT buy clothes until I loose all my baby weight. I agreed but then quickly realized that it doesn't fix me feeling better about myself! So buy some clothes that fit! I don't suggest to buy a wardrobe because chances are that you will loose weight and to be honest maybe our bodies will not go back to before and just be better!!!!

2. Have some me time: going on a date with girlfriends or watching a chic flick at the theaters will motivate you to get all dolled up for yourself and for once you can focus on yourself for yourself. 

3. Join a class: I love Zumba and I feel so good about my body after a Zumba class! It's fun and energizing! Oh yeah and u can loose weight while having fun!!!   

These were my favorite tips from the article but they mention a lot more like reading a novel, indulging on yourself etc!!!! Check out parenting.com and look for the article!!!
