Mommy Makeover Nominee: Anita

This amazing mom has been nominated by her daughter, Jessica.

"My mother Anita is for sure in need of a day all about her. She has been there through every trial and tribulation that not only I have caused, but also those that have come upon me. She uprooted her life to move with me when I needed her to look after my kids for an Army assignment, she stood by my side and looked after my babies while I had to undergo 3 c-sections and 3 brain surgeries. She is always there for me whenever I need her and never says no even though she has a full time job on her feet all day and is suffering from massive pain from fibromyalgia. She truly is my hero and I love her unconditionally and honestly feel she deserves a day to be all about her. Please vote for my very well deserving MOM!"

Mommy Makeover Contest Nominee: Sandy

Nominee #1: Sandy Tipke

Here is a nomination from a daughter who clearly loves her amazing Momma very much!

"My mom is amazing! She is my rock, my best friend. We didnt have a great relationship for a while. When I became a teenager we started to get close. My mom is an amazing lady. She raised me when I was growing up as a single mother! My dad was not in the picture and although she probably should have done things a little different I am who I am because of my mom! I have the best relationship with now! My mom is a beautiful women. And as my step dad and me and many other people see it, she doesn't treat herself as if she is beautiful. She thinks she is too fat to look good. But this women is beautiful inside and out. She loves the Lord and her family. I love her so much. Thank you for considering her. :-) "

Mothers Day Makeover Contest

The words "self sacrifice" are almost synonymous with the word "mother."
Who else would spend their days covered in boogers and wiping chocolate fingerprints ( let's hope that was chocolate...) from the new sofa, while trying to coax slime covered little hooligans to eat their vegetables?
Even once the toddler stage is over, moms spend their days working, cleaning, cooking, washing laundry, driving to baseball practice and cub scouts and dance recitals all while trying to figure out how dinner and, God willing, a SHOWER is supposed to fit in amongst everything else.

Moms work the hardest, longest hours on less sleep and with less appreciation than any other job I can think of.  9-5 doesn't exist for moms.

If there is anyone who deserves to be pampered, it is a mom. Unfortunately, many moms aren't able to set aside the time or money to spoil themselves with things like getting their hair done, their makeup professionally applied, and having their portrait taken.

That's why I'm teaming up with ultra-fab makeup artist Serena Cook of Esoteric Makeup and super talented Laura Klem of Modern Trendz Salon to bring  you the first annual Mommy Makeover Contest!

We want to bless some deserving momma with a day that's all about her, but we need YOUR help!

Nominate a deserving mom by emailing a photo of her and a paragraph about what it is that makes her so amazing to:

nicoleyorkphotography@rocketmail.com

I will take all entries and give them their own post here on the blog, that way even if a mom doesn't win, she will still get recognition for all the amazing things she does. I will email you the link to your nominees post, and share it on Facebook.

Voting will begin as soon as the first entry is posted, and end on April 26th, 2014 at 12pm PST.
You can vote in the comments section.
One voter per voter.
The nominee with the most votes will win:
Pro Hair and Makeup
A photoshoot (either just herself in all her glory, or with her loving family) just in time for Mother's Day.

I can't think of a better gift to a deserving momma than a portrait of her, looking her best and surrounded by her family.

SO nominate those mommas! Share this blog post on Facebook, or other social media sites. Tweet about it. Shout it from the rooftops! Find everyone you can to vote for YOUR Mom, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Aunt, etc...as long as she is a MOM...and let's spoil her for Mother's Day!
