Springtime Manes

Little manes

For all the momma's that have to get used to boy hair cutting. It isn't always easy knowing what to do or how to tell your hairdresser to cut a stylish cut for your little lad.It has definately ben a learning curve for us. Here are some of my favorite styles... Pictures speak a thousand words!!

Patch Jeans

 

I love these patched jeans. What a great way to spruce up an old pair or two that need new life. Show us your style!! Instagram a pic of yourself and tag MummiesHands!!

Thanks Loves. 

easy gurl

Its a mad dash here and there a lot these days especially with youngsters in tow. These two looks are my favorite fresh and super simple trends. I am excited to see the baseball cap popping up on ladies. Awesome alternative to buns and ponytails; throw one on and you'll look stylish and edgy.  No one will know its been days since you've washed :). Also this mini messy half up top knot is fun, and a breath of fresh air to the original full up top knot we've been seeing. These girls are wearing fancy fur coats, but let's be honest with a good plain tee and your favorite pants it would look just as great. Try one of these trends? We'd love to see, take an Instagram pic and tag us @mummieshands, #mummieshands. We will feature our favorite looks! American Apparel has a great selection of colors and simple baseball style caps here .
yours truly,

Give this a whirl...

When I first started researching Beauty Balms, or BB creams, I was skeptical. Beauty companies are sneaky and pull the wool over our unsuspecting eyes and create the NEED for products that eventually fill a bathroom drawer waiting to be passed down to posterity. I have been seduced by a lightweight, vitamin packed, camouflaging cream since the birth of the tinted moisturizer but I have found them to be lacking. There is little these products can offer aside from a low level sunscreen and dispensable vitamins. 
I have been pleasantly surprised by this new generation of products. While some that I tried were heavenly, they will put a dent in the pocketbook with prices near the $50 range. However, Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream will only set you back around $8. This little gem comes in five colors and blends perfectly, it contains an SPF 30 broad spectrum sunscreen that we all should be wearing daily regardless, and while it goes on a little thick it absorbs quickly and has a nice finish. A BB cream offers very sheer coverage so if you are in need of something more concealing I have tested this as a primer layered with powder mineral foundation and liquid foundation with very good results.  This is the perfect non-makeup, makeup and has replaced 3 products I was applying separately in my everyday routine.
