I heart my momma lil’ debs

May 11, 2012

I love my mom. She is one tough cookie and has told me to suck it up at least 70,000 times. I like to feel sorry for myself sometimes, but hearing my mom say “well, at least you have all your limbs” really puts everything in perspective. I’m a better person for it.

Other reasons why I love my mom (to name just a few):

never pressured me to marry (holding out till I get knocked up like a good 21st century gal)
raised me to be polite & considerate
taught me how to be “Jersey” when needed (aka don’t piss me off)
showed me how to be a good hostess
originated the “Ketcham Pour” (i.e. wine pours up the the brim)
~~forced~~ taught me to never give up
emphasized the importance of taking care of your body inside and out

So, for Mother’s Day, I wanted to share my mother’s best beauty tips. I didn’t always take them seriously (or well since I can be super emo), but in hindsight…she was always right.

don’t over pluck your eyebrows (can you blame me though?)
always wash your face
always put on moisturizer in the am and pm
always have a bottle or glass of water with you
don’t wash your hair everyday unless you have to
always put hand lotion on
less is more
all trends die (for a little while at least)
don’t chop your hair (i.e if you have a big face like me and thick hair it doesn’t work, trust me).
