Catherine Reitman Quotes

I'm a mom - I'm lucky if I get to shower in the morning. Luckily, nail polish stays on my toes. I've been so bad on the upkeep, though.

I'm not a glamorous girl. I don't know how to do my hair. I'm very bad with makeup.

I had this roommate in college who would get up almost 2 hours before class to do hair and makeup. That's not for me.

I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.

I get facials. I get a manicure and pedicure every week. I get my hair cut, and I oil myself down from head to toe. I got that from my brother. I was so impressed with how high maintenance he was. When he left the room, you could still smell him for an hour.

I should get a manicure more often.
