Eva Mendes has a lot going on. She is the creative director and face of Circa Beauty, a cosmetic drugstore line she launched over a year ago, her fashion collection for New York and Company, AND she's a mom of two girls. How does she juggle it all? The gorgeous actress and businesswoman recently caught up with E! News and got real on how her life has changed since becoming a mami.

"I don't think you could ever be prepared," Mendes said of motherhood at her first New York and Company runway show in NYC.
Mendes attended the event in one of her own New York and Company dresses, looking chic and sophisticated, as usual. The lace burgundy dress which retails for $80, was paired with one of her signature black turbans, hoop earrings, black lace stockings, and burgundy high-heeled Mary Janes. But Mendes admits that pulling herself together while being a mom of two, isn't always that easy.

"I think basically the bar is just lower," she said. "If I even get dressed today, it's an accomplishment. I really do think that in a way that is true for me. It's just about speed now. What can I get into the fastest? What am I going to feel secure in?" Mendes also said she'll choose dresses over jeans any day, due to comfort and convenience.
As far as her post-baby bod goes, Mendes isn't pressuring herself to bounce back the way a lot of other celebrity moms do, and it's actually kind of refreshing to hear. "I'm in no rush to go back to my size. I'm having a good 'ol time taking advantage of the post-pregnancy thing. As long as I fit in it and feel alright and it doesn't have baby vomit, I think I'm pretty good."
If you ask us, Mendes looks more than just "pretty good." She looks flawless and in a very effortless kind of way.
