Jessica Alba Feels Like One Sexy Mom


iVillage’s CelebVillage reports: Jessica Alba: I Feel Sexier Since Becoming a Mom.

Alba writes on her blog that motherhood makes her “feel more confident and secure than I ever did in my 20s.” 

I find her thoughts to be extremely empowering and so motivating. She expresses the feelings I long to truly have about my self. I don’t think I’m quite there yet though.

“It’s really amazing how your perspective shifts and your definition of sexy evolves once you become a mother. Before having Honor and Haven, I was super-critical of my looks and worried more about inevitable changes to my body. I couldn’t even say the word “sexy” to describe myself without feeling funny and awkward.

But becoming a mom has definitely made me feel more confident and secure than I ever did in my 20s. Even though I can’t ever get down to my pre-baby weight before having Honor, my jeans don’t zip up the same way, and things just hang differently (all moms know how that goes!), I feel completely comfortable in my skin and my idea of perfection has changed. I don’t really care about my body image anymore because it just doesn’t matter now that I have children. Instead, I focus on my health, feeling strong, and making sure I’m up and running so I can spend that all-important time with the girls.

Having babies also helped me embrace my sexuality. Up until then, I was quite shy about it. But once I experienced how incredible and amazing it was to create a life, it was empowering. Now, I feel freer to express myself and just be me. Through motherhood I really came into my own and, for me, feeling sexy is all about this type of comfort, confidence, and true happiness.”

I can definitely agree that I feel much better about my body image since becoming a mother. I do feel better about how I look regardless of how I actually look.

I love the idea of allowing “having babies” to be used to “embrace” our sexual selves. For me, it has been more of a struggle of seeing myself as sexy and really feeling it now that my biggest role is mother.

I’m often so overwhelmed and tired that I don’t have time to feel sexy. I’ve got to try focusing on the whole empowerment-of-birth angle and see what happens!

Rock It, Katie Holmes!

Check out the photos of Celebrity Momster Katie Homes on Celebuzz.
She posed for the jeweler H. Stern in not much more than jewelry.
All the celebrity sites are exclaiming how we’ve never seen Katie like this before! Oh my goodness, she’s a mom! We usually see her out toting little Suri!
It’s like when you become a mom you cease to exist in any other way. If you step out looking sexy—it’s headline news!
Oh my goodness—a sexy mom! How can it be?! Moms can’t be sexy! They need to be baking cookies and wearing full-body covering at all times!
Alert the press!

Work It, Miranda Kerr!

Holly Baby reports that Miranda Kerr Bares All For ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Magazine! And they question if Moms should pose nude.
I say, power to her. As a former nude model, I know I’ve been judged for what I’ve done even before I was a mom. True, I left that lifestyle behind years ago, but I think if I chose to pose nude now it would be fine. My kids see me naked all the time. There’s nothing wrong with being naked.
Why must we be expected to be something else once we become moms?
Moms can be sexy and motherly, too!
