Count the Minutes

Saw a great Suave haircare ad in a magazine over the weekend. The visual is an attractive woman wearing a large hat made out of assorted clothing items. The copy reads, “The average mom spends 116 minutes a day on laundry and only 7 on her hair.”

As I tossed my hair back in a ponytail this morning, I wondered, “What could they be talking about? Who has time to spend 7 minutes on their hair?” :)

This is an awesome ad because it spotlights how little time moms spend on themselves. Add more minutes for clutter control, packing lunches, volunteering at school, carpooling, etc. There is ALWAYS something that needs done, so no one has more excuses than a mom when it comes to proper nutrition and exercise.

The world won’t end if you push back laundry until tomorrow. But instead, grab that time for a cardiovascular workout that improves your health and burns calories – now that really matters in the big picture.
