Motherhood is a very exciting time in a woman’s and couple’s life, but parenting may leave both feeling anything “but” excited. In fact, mom and dad may find themselves feeling quite exhausted.

Still, most of us have images of moms and dads that are the picture perfect family. And both Hollywood and magazines help paint that beautiful picture. But, is it really and truly achievable? According to the experts, the answer is yes, and the offer a few helpful hints on how to go celebrate motherhood, celebrity-style.

· A cut above: Most women, with now much busier schedules, trim their tresses to accommodate a stress-free get-ready routine. Experts suggest finding a fashionable and flirty style that suits your image and your personality and works WELL with your natural hair texture. Plus, it should be easy to upkeep and maintain.

· Freshen up your face: While you may not longer have time for a full beauty regimen, you can still look “naturally” great. Hollywood moms get “glam” in minutes by skipping some un-necessary extras such as going sans eye-shadow. Just don’t skimp on the concealer, especially if you need it. And, remember that a little foundation works wonders when it comes to evening our skin and hiding blemishes often brought about by stress.

· Work your wardrobe: sure you body may have changes. And, perhaps now that you’re a mom, your tastes may have changed a bit too. But, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone (sweat pants and baggy Ts) and step into some stylish, but comfy real clothes. Think roomy outfits such as empire-waist sundresses that are easy to wash and maintain, and cute shoes that accent your look, even if they are practical flats.

· Choose wisely: Pick colours, shapes, and styles, that not only enhance your looks, but make you feel good as well. And, make sure your ensemble reflects your personality as well as your shape.

· Develop a ONE singular sensation attitude: Moms on the go should choose a staple colour that they wear effectively from head to toe. And, if you want to hide any figure flaws or added weight, black or brown are the way to go….plus, it shows little or no dirt.

· Bagalicious: Baby and diaper bags have made some major strides over the years and are now a fashionable fashion statement that help ensure today’s hot mamas are stylin’. Experts suggest a stylish baby tote with lots of space and lots of pockets helping your keep organized and that offer easy access to everything you’ll need.

· Step up your style: Pick styles that are a shoe-in for cute comfort. Sure ballet flats may not be as sexy as stilettos but they can save you lots of agony of da feet, especially when you’re on the run with your little ones.

· Shade yourself: Pick up a relatively inexpensive but good pair of sunglasses. Not only will you look chic but it will help hide tired eyes. Consider rose-coloured or orange lenses that will brighten your entire face
