Most mothers tend to feel frumpy from time to time. This is especially true for mothers who give up their jobs and careers to be stay at home mums. The thought of you giving up a lifestyle where you hung out at resorts and night clubs regularly and now are home doing nappy changes tends to hit you like a heavy sack of potatoes. But do not fear there are a few tips that will make you feel like you are on top of the world again.

The first thing you need to do when you begin to feel sad is to look at your baby and all your sorrows will vanish. The thought that you brought this little life into the world will definitely drown your sorrows for sure.

You need not feel like a maid just because you are at home; dressing well will definitely lift your moods. Invest in good clothes that make you feel god about yourself as well as in a good make up kit that you can dab on quickly will be an asset. As a mom you will never have hours to fuss over yourself in the mornings so choose clothes that you will be comfortable in. Keep your make up light so as to avoid having to do regular touch ups.

Use a fragrance that you can layer, one that comes in a bath and shower gel, deodorant, body mist as well as a perfume. This helps to use lesser perfume that may irritate the child and cause allergies yet make you feel fresh.

As a mom you need to be extremely practical. If you are feeling down wear a few pieces of jewelry to perk up your mood. Avoid long earrings that may tempt your toddler, instead opt to wear a trendy necklace or bracelet. Do not wear beads or pearls as your child may choke on it if he manages to break it.

Try and get a friend to baby sit your child while you spend a few hours by yourself. Do simple things like take a walk, read a book or simply go out for a cup of coffee.

Lastly speak to your spouse about the way you feel. If you are feeling unloved or neglected; let him know about it. There is no better person in the world to make you feel better than the father of your child.
