“Looking good!” That’s the phrase that pushed comedian and mom, Jenna Roberts, to her breaking point. After hearing it one too many times, she decided to pen a song that resonates with every mom who doesn’t have the luxury to look put-together all day, every day.
Have you ever considered how much a mom juggles in a single day? Sure, a little time for a makeover would be nice, but let’s be real, that’s just not happening.
“As the mother of a rambunctious toddler, I’m usually in my favorite sweats or gym gear (if I ever find the time to hit the gym). Forget about full makeup or pampered nails… I’m over the societal pressure to always appear polished,” Jenna shares with Home Insemination Kit.
We totally get it.
And just a heads up, this piece has some adult language, so maybe save it for after the kids are in bed.
“Looking good!” Was I a hot mess? The opposite of fab? My makeup smudged? In my comfiest pants, feeling a bit chubby? No heels in sight to elongate my legs, you probably thought I was expecting. Check out my muffin top, forehead breakouts, a brand-new crop? Sometimes I throw on a ponytail. Shaving? Only if I’m feeling brave. Pit stains even in the frost, my fanciest bra is a relic from four years past.
Screw you, I’m no beauty queen. All polished? Not even close. I spritz on perfume when it suits me. Fashion news? Please, don’t even.
But hey, somehow, we do clean up nice.
