Taking care of yourself comes third, after taking care of your family and your house, in that order, according to a nationwide survey this month sponsored by cosmetics company Suave. Not exactly shocking news. But guess what came in 4th place? Taking care of your job!
That surprised me a little. Personally, my priorities are closer to 1. Family, 2. Work 3. Self.
Anyway, in the taking care of self department, the study found that 46% of moms have forgotten to brush their teeth in the morning and 58% have days when they didn’t have enough time to shower or bathe. Almost 70% say they have gone for weeks or months without a haircut, even though they needed one.
To celebrate/promote mothers spending time (and $) on themselves, Suave has organized a Moms spa day field trip at LuKaRo Salon in Beverly Hills this Monday, October 1. I think it's full, but you might try crashing it. Jenny McCarthy will be there -- and I probably will too!
