I was at the salon yesterday to rejuvinate my long-time neglected hair.
Aside from having a "new" look that makes you feel good, what's nice about going to salons are the selection of magazines that they have-from the latest issues to back issues; from parenting magazines to adult reading...name it they have it.
I chanced upon a Smart Parenting Magazine with Carmina Villaroel and her daughter Cassy on the cover. Browsed through it and read the article on Mina (naks close). Well, the content is just what you expect from such an interview but what strucked me was when she said that she tries not to look like a mom and there is a conscious effort on her part to make sure she looks good.
Wow! She just verbalized what I've been thinking since I became a mom to Gayle! Dapat kahit Mommy na, hindi pa rin mukhang Mommy! Dapat maalaga pa rin sa katawan!
Healthy diet. Healthy lifestyle.
Of course, easier said than done with the kind of environment that we all live in now.
Everything is fast. Everything is on the move. Everything can just cause you stress. (Do I hear anyone saying Motherhood = Stress?!)
The key word here is "CONSCIOUS EFFORT". It's important that one puts in effort in trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
So with that "conscious thought" in my mind, I woke up this morning and pushed myself to go the the gym. Congratulations to me because this is I believe the first consecutive weekends that I've been to the gym since I don't remember when. I am so lazy to go to the gym! 
So hopefully, I'd stick to my "conscious effort" mantra because it's really important for one to feel good about oneself...so remind me not to sweat the small stuff and to chill!
Life is too short to be spent thinking about a good management principle to apply in managing the maids!
