I am not sure how many of you experiencing the same thing as I do... but I have a problem trying to look pretty decent in front of the husband, after a long day doing house chores at home.
But really... staying at home in the past 6 days got me thinking...
But when we're at home as full-time homemakers, I think the story will be very different....
(Well, if you're a real tai-tai, actually I think this problem won't happen, because you will have maids to do the chores. In fact, you can probably train your maids to do your own manicure and pedicure at home! OMG, I think this is such a brilliant idea! Hey you all in Indonesia.. yes, send the maid to nail school and you can save cost doing mani-pedi at home!)
OK OK.. let's continue - As a homemaker (ehm ehm...) honestly, I don't even have the appetite to get my nails done anymore (Shocking!); just because when I cook (and I cook everyday now, except for the weekends), I have to chop the bloody garlics, onions, shallots etc...
I have to wash my hands and my nails like more than a hundred times, just to get ride of the smell. Imagine if I have my nails well manicured, I think they will chip in no time...
Or worse...the chipped nail polish could potentially go inside the dish...
Oh dear...I cannot even start to imagine...
When I am home, I just find it silly to suddenly dress up and put on make up just for a 2-hour show, to greet the dear husband who just got home from work...
It will be such a waste of energy and products right?
(FYI - Obviously I don't do any of that in the past 6 days. What really happened was that he came back and I was still in the same outfit as this morning when he left...)
Anyway... I still don't have a solution for this big issue.
Yes, it is a big issue - I was just imagining, if I were a husband and I came back home and found my wife in an unflattering outfit, no make-up face, garlic-smelled nails - I would probably be leaving her sooner or later.
So if I have to stay at home full-time. I don't want to be that unattractive woman (not only for the husband, but also for myself). Besides, I will most probably lose my barely-there-make-up skills too!
Oh... nightmare!
So dear mommies or stay-at home wives (or guys!) out there - Please enlighten me!
But really... staying at home in the past 6 days got me thinking...
How can a homemaker stay pretty, after a long day of cleaning the house and cooking? How? TELL ME HOW!?!?When we, women, work in the office - obviously we need to put make-up on (well...at least put something lah... like face powder, brow thingie, whatever) and dress nicely and appropriately. Every now and then you will also get manicure and pedicure just in case, you need to do some presentations (hand gestures!) or you have a new pair of open-toe shoes... you know...
But when we're at home as full-time homemakers, I think the story will be very different....
