TOTAL MOM MAKEOVER SERIES: Jennifer Fudge Before and After Mommy Makeover Transformation

When I first hopped on a Skype call with Jennifer Fudge, she was smiling with a sparkle in her eyes. She was excited but also a little nervous at the thought of allowing someone to take control of her look as it’s something she has usually done herself. She found that raising her six month old and three other children was making it harder and harder to make time for herself. And she’s had the same hair and makeup look for a long time – she wasn’t sure how to change things up and needed a refresh!

Jennifer is also one of our influencer panelists who helped select the eight moms we sent off on a weekend getaway with. As a YouTuber for The Family Fudge, Jennifer understands and knows the importance of looking your best but wanted to learn how to look good in less time. And she wanted to be able to set the same example to her followers.

We learned some great tips and how-to’s from celebrity hairstylist Dusty Simington of Salon Gregories as well as from our very own Dream Team that we’re sharing with you today:

TIP #1: If you’re looking to add bangs to your hair style and have close set eyes, create a wider distance with the bangs so it opens up the eyes and adds depth and dimension to your look.

TIP #2: Fashion trends tend to come back around, so hang on to your classic style outfits and pieces.

DAISY: Do you have any children? If yes, how many children do you have and what are their ages?
JENNIFER: Yes – 4 kids. 7, 5, 3 and 6 months

DAISY: How much time do you think you need each morning to get yourself ready?
JENNIFER: 20 minutes

DAISY: What do you feel needs improvement with your current style and look?
JENNIFER: I’ve had the same hair style and make up look for a LONG time. I’m not sure how to change it up. Also, my hair and makeup routine takes too long, to be honest.

DAISY: What’s your unique story that you’d like to share with the world?
JENNIFER: My name is Jennifer. I am sweet AND nutty, just like fudge! I am a busy home- schooling mother of 4. My kids are 7, 5, 3 and 6 months old, so yes, life feels crazy AND loud most of the time! I tend to be a people pleaser and often put myself last. I have recently learned that to be a better and less stressed mom, I HAVE TO make time for myself. It’s not always easy, and sometimes makes me feel guilty. I started a youtube channel as a creative outlet for myself and to hopefully help other moms who struggle with the same things I do. Through my videos I share things I’m passionate about. I love to share recipes, organizational trips, diy projects, family travel, parenting strategies, homeschooling tips, menu planning and so much more! I try to end each video with an inspirational thought or quote.

@georgeteh3 put his heart and soul into this proje @georgeteh3 put his heart and soul into this project piece for @arteh_creations ❤️ He’s learning new things throughout the furniture design and building process. And figuring it out along the way (all without formal training, education or experience in the trade - learned it from YouTube lol).

He created functional art from this very, very, very delicate 1950’s gossip chair 🪑 that we got for free through FBMP. It was in pretty bad shape, and I was unsure of how he would do it or what he planned to do. But I’ve always loved how creative his visions and ideas are with pieces he finds, and I knew he’d come up with something amazing!

I’m so proud of how far my husband has come in all facets of his life. And it’s great to see his eyes lighting up again when he talks about building and creating furniture and art!

Happy husband, happy home! 🏡 #vintagedecor #furnitureflipper #gossipchair #beforeandafter #furnituremakeover #antiquefurniture #modernrustic #artdecodesign
Hiiiiiii! I’ve been keeping a secret under embargo Hiiiiiii! I’ve been keeping a secret under embargo until the full announcement was released, and I’m thrilled to finally share! ✨

After much prayer, reflection, soul-searching, and a sprinkle of courage, I’ve taken a leap and joined the other side as a freelance Creative Consultant for The Allen Lewis Agency (@trytala)🚀

For over 12 years I’ve been captivated by the power of creativity, design, influence, and the art of storytelling. It’s been an incredible journey filled with learning, growth, and an unquenchable passion for all things content creation.💡And now I get to dive into a whole new world (to me, at least) of the agency side working behind the scenes in PR/Marketing/Communications and alongside my Influencer and Content Creator friends! 🌟

This new chapter represents not just a professional milestone, but a personal commitment to pursue what sets my heart on fire. I’m looking forward to working with incredible individuals like Jocelyn Coley and the roster of amazing, major brands. I’m excited to learn from each experience, but also grateful for some familiarity, as I’ve actually worked with a handful of the team throughout the years as an Influencer.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me! Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to see where this new path leads. Also, to all my influencer frands — I hope you’re all excited and ready too, because I’ll be reaching out to you for future potential opportunities! Love you all! 🙏💫 #humblebeginnings #newbeginningsahead #newaddition #momswhohustle

Arrived safely to Sonoma for some fun weekend shen Arrived safely to Sonoma for some fun weekend shenanigans with @Nissanusa and experiencing the drive event for the all-new 2023 Nissan ARIYA e-4ORCE AWD all-electric crossover vehicle!

This beauty arrives in April, but they’re taking reservations. And we got a first look and drive!

We stayed at the beautiful 5-star @montagehealdsburg, and wanted to give you a quick hotel property tour. 

Took a golf cart to my suite, and y’all, my suite has a firepit, an indoor shower AND an outdoor shower!

Later we had dinner with the Nissan team along with all my new (and old) content creator friends. And even got a recording of one of them singing for us (will post later on). Follow along my Stories. #NissanARIYA #NissanDiversity #ev #electricvehicle #nissan  #mediatrip #hosted #fivestar #fivestarhotel #montage #sonoma #sonomacounty #napavalley #winecountry #wineanddine

Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary, @Collectors / @PSAc Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary, @Collectors / @PSAcard ! 🎉 Celebrated it on March 8th (but it was International Women’s Day). Also coming up on 10 years in Talent Acquisition/HR field.

Started in this space as a Contract Recruiting Coordinator (temp) scheduling interviews and setting up job fair booths (boy that was an adventure, let me tell ‘ya 🤣). And I very quickly worked my way up to becoming a Corporate Recruiter. I absolutely love what I do, and the impact we make to help better people’s lives through finding their dream careers. ❤️

Now I work for a company who helps people pursue their passions for collecting. My own family loves collecting high-value collectibles too.

I began collecting postage stamps at the age of 8. I remember getting grounded, because I racked up a $500 phone bill making calls to a New York stamp dealer talking all things stamps. And look at me now, Mom! 😂 I was an 80’s and 90’s kid…moved into @lisafrank stickers, @pokemon cards, Cabbage Patch Kids, video games and Beanie Babies. 😜 I’ve been asking my parents where those collectibles are, but they are still missing. 🙈

Now my children, husband and MIL have a wooden chest full of sports cards, Funko Pops, and memorabilia.

As you can see, finding an industry I love, doing the type of work that I do, is a dream and fulfills me. And the company perks are a huge plus. They’re an AMAZING company! 🙌

The collectible hoodie I’m wearing was custom designed by artist, Adam Lister, for Collectors employees! 😍 #findyourpurpose #findyourpath #findyourpassion #HR #recruiter  #recruiterlife #corporateidentity #corporatemom #dreamjob #humanresources #talentacquisition #psacard #collectors #dowhatyoulovetodo #workanniversary
Working from home does have it’s perks! Beautiful Working from home does have it’s perks! Beautiful views, peace and quiet, can work in my bathrobe (and take it off to reveal my work appropriate attire during Zoom meetings 🤣). I was super cold here, since Cali’s amazing yet bipolar weather allows for zero usage of heat and air conditioning, but still needing things handy for warmth.
