Totally understand what YOU are going through especially after 6 whole months of NO Heels, Loose clothes, Unexpected Radiant skin and suddenly you are expected to look awesome when you return to the workforce.

For Mummies who are expressing milk, what are suitable yet professional choices that give access?
Most mummies will invest in nursing tops but may I suggest not to wear them to work. Mainly because nursing tops are meant for you to be worn when you nurse the baby = the baby MUST be with you. Look into getting tops or dresses that has front buttons till the waist so that you need not remove the whole piece just to express. Consider wearing a top and a bandeau bra instead of fumbling with clips of a nursing bra.
What are some quick confidence tips?
1. Fix your hair. For those who are breastfeeding , may I suggest Keratin Treatment at FDP. ( I personally do find it in treatment wise very safe for BF mummies) It's similar to rebond but without heat and it helps tame hair especially in our weather. Those who are greying can also ask them for their ammonia free dye that guarantees to cover greying for 45 washes. Ask Angeline for help as she does my hair colour + treatment.
2. Mask your face, do the works. Deep cleansing, hydration, anti ageing and do not rely on your facialist. Personal knowledge on your skin is the most important investment you can do for yourself. Get back that glow and WOW everyone.
3. Revamp your makeup products. Pick up new trends to spruce up your look to look youthful. If makeup products all looks the same, please ask for help.
4. If all things fail. Change your lipstick colour. Period.
