Confident and Empowered

I had no sooner clicked "Publish" on my recent post about my mommy style (or lack thereof) when I plopped on the sofa, turned on the TV, and saw a new commercial for Suave, a company whose recent tag line is: "say yes to beautiful without paying the price"...

You may have seen it too. It shows a woman going through the stages of her life all the way to motherhood. As the years past pregnancy go by, you see her looking more and more degenerate... but not too much. This is a commercial trying to sell you stuff, after all, and we all know ugly doesn't move hair products.

Following this montage, in big, red, bold letters, the ad copy reads: "89% of moms admit to letting themselves go". Humph!

But, no worries... they have shampoo and conditioner to help you get "yourself back". Unless this magic potion of theirs can do something about the stretch marks and about losing 40 pounds, I'm not buying it.

In searching for a video clip to post, I happened upon something more intriguing on the company website-- a link to the Hot Mom's Club.

It's a WHOLE website dedicated to "bringing mothers together who refuse to fall into the stereotype of the typical American 'mom' category"... and all things a hot mom would be interested in.

In light of the recent blows working moms and SAHMs have taken the last few weeks... months... lifetime, it was nice to see something that was all about the "yea! mom! You go, Girls".

We mommies- at home or at work- need that kind of encouragement sometimes. Don't you agree?
