luxury dive watches women image
MARIAHC &
I became a new mommy in 2011 & since then, my appearance has faltered. When i get payed, all of my paychecks goes on bills & i barely have enough for my daughters diapers. I dislike doing my hair. I would like to go to a beautician & go to get my nails & hair did every so often, but I simply can't afford to spoil myself to keep up my appearance. I see lots of beautiful moms with themselves well kept up & I wish that I was blessed to get that treatment & sustain a lovely appearance again. Moms, how do you all manage to develop & maintain great appearance? *MaTURE COMMENTS PLS* :)
, yes I agree with you "me"..but sadly, I'm single & I do everything independantly.

The EXCEPTION is the woman who has kids and looks well put together. The
EXCEPTION. I'd be willing to bet that underneath it all, she's a hot mess.
The rest of us must be wash n wear. Just because someone has a husband doesn't mean they're rolling in
money. Your average couple is struggling to make ends meet, and most women can't afford luxuries like makeup and
getting their hair done. Baby comes first, food comes first, bills come first.
Remember: having babies changes everything and we agreed to this change by having babies.
This isn't a bad thing. My son is way more important than how I look.
I gave up on makeup while pregnant. I worked 70 -80 hours a week as a waitress
and and discovered sleep was more important than makeup.
This carried over after my son was born. I was 38 when I had him and discovered
that, in order to keep my sanity that I had to get enough sleep and well, certain
things got sacrificed.
I cut my hair super short, so that all I had to do was run my hands thru it. I
even managed to take showers on a daily basis. I went to school, graduated and
got a job using my tech skills, and guess what? Not one of the women wore
makeup!
We were all fully clothed, however.
Once my son got old enough, to where I thought I could start wearing makeup
again, the little stinker got into it and turned it all into guns and phones and
walkie talkies. Something about the colors of eyeshadows entranced him.
Over the years, I've kept a simple, inexpensive face clean routine. Irish spring, or
zest, Dove if I could swing it, Ponds cold cream (again if I could swing it) and Seabreeze.
Never did anything fancy with nails, so this wasn't an issue.
Learn to treat yourself in ways you can afford but that don't necessarily have to do with clothing or makeup.
Take long hot showers/baths whenever you can. Get someone to come over and watch the baby for a couple of hours while you do this.
Make the VERY important effort of eating right.
Take regular walks and/or exercise if you have the time/energy.
Treat yourself to dark chocolate once in a while.
Get enough sleep.

Howâs life in the United Arab Emirates?

just curious...
Answer
It depends. You can love it and you can hate it.
The positive aspects:
- Good weather (personally I don't mind the heat that much) all year round
- Good lifestyle, here it is normal to go out for dinner in 5 star hotels, fancy places, boat parties whereas in Europe that would be a rare thing
- Salaries are good
- You don't pay taxes
- As a woman, you are treated very well. People are polite, let you pass in front at queues and there are "ladies only" counters (I like that ;-))
- You can become spoilt (that's a good or bad thing depending on how you see it) in the sense that it is normal to have a full time house maid to clean after every one of your moves, someone pakcking your groceries up at the supermarket and filling up your car at the fuel station
-You can call groceries at any time (till 12pm) and they will deliver for free, even only a bottle of milk
- You can afford luxury cars if you want to (loans are easy to get)
- You are well located to travel. Dubai is a major international hub and there are lots of cheap flights to Asia, the Middle East and other places
- There are a lot of expatriates from many different nationalities to meet
- You work in a multi cultural environment and can learn a lot
- Work opportunities and career growth are better than in Europe
- Lots of good restaurants, hotel quality & service is excellent
- There are good scuba diving opportunities
- As more and more expatriates are coming to Dubai, each of them is bringing a bit of their culture to the place, so culturally the offering is diverse and always improving
- Plumbing in the bathrooms is intelligent (there is a drain in the bathroom to take out excess water). I never thought I was missing something back home in Europe until I got used to this very useful thing...
Negative Aspects:
- You get bored quickly as once you've been to the malls, hotels and beaches a couple of times it's kind of always the same
- There is limited nature. Once you've done kayaking in the mangroves and been to an oasis, the rest is pretty much desert. So not really great opportunities for trekking for example (unless the stone mountains with a few shrugged trees are considered as nature)
- There are very few "free" things to do. Everything here has a price.
- It is a lot about materialism, things that shouldn't matter tend to matter a lot here (how much you earn, the car you drive, the phone you use, the place you live)
- Good schools are not free (not like in most of Europe)
- A lot of the expatriates here have come with the intention of staying a couple of years only and accumulate wealth. In turn this means that many people don't really care about making good friends, or, if they do, are likely to leave after a couple of years
- A lot of the expats are quite superficial. The Brits (I work with many of them) enjoy stereotypical stuff such as going out for beer(s) and watching a game and have little to say except that
- Guys they think they can seduce girls with a nice car and money (that is partially true) and girls think that by being beautiful they can get guys to pay for them
- Money seems to attract good looking girls. If you go to night clubs in Dubai it's like being at a Fashion show. But these girls are not for free (not necessarely prostitues, but would only go out with a rich man)
- Dubai is not a walking city, you have to have a car
- You tend to work with a mix of people. Some interesting and some plain stupid (sorry to say that). When working with certain Arabs (I'm not racist, but I have experienced this a lot, especially with Lebanese or Jordanians) they tend to talk a lot but not do much. Also they tend to be a lot of politics at work with these nationalities, many good looking girls try to advance their careers by acting "cute" at work
- Abu Dhabi is kind of boring compared to Dubai
- Some people gain weight when they initially arrive to the UAE because they stop exercising (the car is used for everything) and become lazy
