“Looks great!”—how many times have moms heard that phrase? Comedian and mom Lisa Thompson reached her breaking point after hearing it one too many times and decided to pen a song for all the women who don’t always look put together.
Have you ever considered how much a mom juggles in a single day? Sure, we’d love to have a moment to fix our hair or put on some makeup, but the reality is, we often don’t have that luxury.
“As a mom with a rambunctious four-year-old, I find myself in comfy wear most days (when I actually have a chance to work out). Full makeup is a rare treat, and my nails? Rarely done. I’m fed up with the societal pressures to always look polished,” Thompson shared with Home Insemination Kit. We can totally relate.
And yes, fair warning—there’s some colorful language, making this read definitely not suitable for work or kids.
“Looks great!”
Was I messy or unkempt? Not exactly a model, I’m sure my leggings left you perplexed. No heels to flatter my legs, you might’ve thought I was expecting. Look at my muffin top, forehead blemishes, oh what a crop! Sometimes I sport a ponytail, and forget to tend to my happy trail. Sweat stains even when it’s chilly, my best bra is older than my kid—how silly!
Forget you, I’m no beauty queen. All refined and pristine? I pick my perfume with care. Fashion? I’m unaware… But yes, we do clean up well.
