- Suave Teams with Celeb Mom Jenny McCarthy to Help Moms Get Back to Beauty - CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the recent Suave Motherhood vs. Womanhood report, 77 percent of moms admit they don't spend enough time on themselves, yet nearly 75 percent say taking care of themselves makes them feel happier, more attractive and more self-confident. The nationwide study also revealed that more than half of moms have more time for themselves when their children are back in school. With class now in session, Suave has teamed up with celebrity mom Jenny McCarthy to encourage moms across the country to put beauty back on the to-do list. Unwind at the Ultimate Moms-Only Field-Trip with Jenny McCarthy This fall, Suave and Jenny McCarthy will pamper hundreds of moms at the Suave Back to Beauty Moms-Only Field Trip, a day when moms can take a much- needed recess at the LuKaRo Salon in Beverly Hills. The day of beauty will include makeovers from celebrity hairstylist Luke O'Connor and his talented team, as well as moms-only treats. "My son is my number one priority and, because my attention is always on him, I often forget to take care of myself," said McCarthy. "That's why I'm thrilled to be a part of the Suave team and help encourage all moms to make themselves a priority again. As I've discovered, when I do take 'me time,' I feel recharged and ready to be 'mommy' again." Los Angeles-area moms who participate in the Suave Back to Beauty Moms- Only Field Trip also have the opportunity to win a $20,000 grant for their school's after school program and give back to those who they love most -- their kids. The school with the most moms who attend the Suave Back to Beauty Moms-Only Field Trip will earn the prize. Calling All Moms Suave will also reach moms in major cities nationwide through the support of the PTA. Suave created exclusive Beauty Packs for PTA members, filled with everything mom needs to move her "me time" from the bottom of the laundry pile to the top of her "to-do" list. The Beauty Packs include Suave products, interesting Suave survey stats and tips, and product coupons. "We recognize that PTA moms are extremely dedicated to their children and to education yet, like nearly all moms, they forget to take time for themselves," said Jan Domene, National PTA President. "We're thrilled to support Suave in their efforts to reach moms as we know that happier parents often translate into happier children."
