10 Ways To Get Ready With Him In Mind

As a house wife and stay at home mom, I am home most days. My days are spent schooling my kids, doing laundry and cleaning house. Being at home all day and with the work I have to do, it can be easy to simply throw on sweats or yoga pants and a tee shirt each morning. And who wants to spend precious time doing hair and make up just to be home?

But my husband deserves better. I deserve better.

We should still be pursuing our mate as when we were dating and I surely didn't pursue him in my sweats, no make up and hair in a wild ponytail! Think of your dating days. We all spent time carefully getting ready to look our best for the one we loved. We should still do this.

I can tell you from experience, I feel better when I get ready in the morning. I feel better when I take care of myself. And I feel better knowing my husband will come home to a wife who loved him and carefully got ready for him.



Here are a few things to keep in mind as you get ready each day:
  • Each day be sure to brush your teeth, shower and wash your hair. This may seem obvious but hey, let's just put it out there for a reminder!
  • No matter what you are wearing, make sure it is cleaned and ironed. Nothing wrong with the yoga pants once in a while, but make sure they are cleaned and not looking like they were balled up in the laundry basket!
  • Wear make up. If you don't regularly wear make up, then don't. But if you do, then wear make up for him each day.
  • Take care of your skin. Implement a good regimen using Revision Skincare or other skincare products; face wash and moisturize each day and night.
  • Use a good lip balm. Girls, let your man have soft lips to kiss when he gets home!
  • Shave. You may think no one sees so why bother, but he sees each night. Or at least he should...
  • Use aprons. I love aprons! They are so cute and feminine. I have a couple of really cute aprons I use for cooking or hosting. Then I have an apron I use specifically for cleaning so that no matter what I am wearing, my clothes will not ruin. This means I can wear my nice jeans and shirt for my hubby but won't get bleach or grease on them!
  • When your husband is due home from work, do a quick check. Do you need to brush your teeth or use mouthwash? Run a brush through your hair. And make sure the baby's vomit isn't covering your shirt. He will appreciate coming home to his lovely wife.
  • Wear the things he loves. If your husband loves the color blue, wear blue a few times each week for him. If he loves your hair a certain way, wear it like that for him often. If he loves your perfume, use a spray of it before he gets home. These little things will mean much to him.
  • When you go out on a date, do something a little extra. Like dressing up nice. Or if you are going to a sporting event, hubby and I used to love to go to baseball games for dates, do something like get a manicure and paint your nails the color of the team your guy roots for.
What are ways that you take care to get ready for him each day?

  1. I just started dating again and I'm doing the "I have nothing to wear" dance around my closet. I'm reminded of how I quit doing that in my failed marriage and I am determined to continue to make sure I make myself presentable in the future. Thank you for writing this post!
