Ugly Duckling !!!

With all the ups and downs that I’ve been experiencing healthwise lately, I’ve had a revelation of sorts. Yes, another one ! Life is full of them 🙂

Some days have been thinking that I’m the ugliest person on earth. I look in the mirror and all I see is the tired, sad looking person who just puked her guts out and wishes could just sleep these remaining months off.

Inspite of my hubby’s constant reminders of me being good enough and that I just need to get out and do some shopping, I don’t bother with what I’m wearing or how I’m looking for I couldn’t possibly work on this disaster with any success

And then few and far between are those days when I look in the mirror and feel like, ” Hey, that face ain’t all that bad ! ‘ I can see hope there. I feel like dressing up and then I do. I blow dry my hair into shape, wear something pretty, put on my kajal, some perfume and some lipstick, if not vaseline. I put on some trinklets and my fancy shoes and can feel myself transforming into someone who ” feels ” beautiful and find myself smiling at my own work of art in the mirror.
I can’t describe the relief and joy I felt when I bought the maternity pants and started going out shopping for ‘ myself ‘ after months of wallowing in a bad mood. The right shoes, the right clothes, the right perfume all help in making me a better me, not only from the outside but from the inside as well.

What I guess I realized is, along with that smile, it always helps to have the right accessories to help you imagine a better you in every sense of the word from attitude to materialistic objects !!

About Aditi Wardhan Singh

I'm a mom living in Virginia, enjoying chronicling my various escapes with the kids and around the kitchen. I believe being a mom involves a balance of holding on and letting go. And since being a mom is a 24/7 job, cooking though essential, needs to be as easy as can be. So peruse my blog for various experiences in parenting and experiments in cooking.
