Happy Monday AMW Friends!
To jump start the week, let me talk about something else aside from makeup. This post is basically meant for my mommy or pregnant readers who are excited to meet their bundle of joy!

Let me tell you honestly that during my pregnancy, I didn't have ANY problems finding the right clothes to wear! I guess with the 5 long months of morning sickness, I didn't gain as much weight only until the latter part of my pregnancy when my tummy and the rest of my body ballooned like there's no tomorrow! But it was easy to pull out a loose dress or loose shirt as you know you won't be judged! Let's be honest, when you're pregnant, you look cute whatever you wear and people are more forgiving! :P
Now, the real problem arises AFTER giving birth! It was less than a month when I took Baby Kyle for his first checkup and it was a cartoon moment for me (Big eyes, huge perspiration on forehead, gasping mouth) ---- HELLO BOOBS! HELLO FLABBY ARMS AND TUMMY and WELL WELL WELL...HIPS... I didn't know you can get THIS BIG!
So I've decided to create this post for soon-to-be-mommies out there so you won't get the shock of your life the way I did! :P
P.S. I'm in no way a fashion expert but I'm definitely an expert when it comes to my own body! I wish mommies would be forgiving when it comes to their post pregnancy body! Your body took 9 full months to balloon so give it time to go back to it's original state! I won't discuss about diet and exercise here as it is obviously the best "tag team" in weight loss! For someone who don't have the time or chance to exercise or diet (since I'm nursing and I'm always hungry!), here are some superficial tips on how to look at least half as good as you were before we...uhmm..ballooned? :D
Show your assets and hide your flaws
Fellow bloggers who see me after giving birth were kind enough to say I still look good despite the bigger arms, bigger tummy and tired face! Since I knew in my heart (though my brain is still denying) that my arms are flabbier, waist is definitely wider and my hips gives Beyonce a run for her money, I knew I had to dress up to hide what needs to be hidden and show what I'm proud of! After a good "ocular inspection" *laughs* I've decided I have something I could be proud of! Thankfully, I got my mom's "skinny legs" genes so I thought it would be smart to divert people's attention away from my upper body but down to my lower body instead!
P.S. It is VERY important to wear cycling shorts underneath as flying skirt with undies showing WILL NEVER BE a fashion statement! (Not unless you're Marilyn Monroe!) :P
