Single Moms Get Treated To Surprise Makeovers Like The Queens They Are

The sweetest. 💕
By 

Senior Lifestyle Reporter, HuffPost

If you were raised by a single mom, prepare to get a little emotional.

In the BuzzFeed video above, daughters surprise their single mamas with a complete style makeover. The moms come into the studio believing they’re filming a video about life as a single parent. One mom admits she slept on the couch for years so that her kids could have their own rooms. (Yep, at this point, we already need tissues.) 

“Everything I did, I did for my kids,” she says.

Midway through the interviews, the daughters reveal they’re actually there so the moms can get full-on makeovers: makeup, hair and wardrobe. The ladies’ reactions are pretty dang adorable: 

Watch the full video above.

@Shelley A. Dixon: I have been a single parent for 18 1/2 yrs. My daughter and I have always been tight, but we are closer than ever now that she's in college. I wouldn't trade the years raising her alone for a million dollars! She is an awesome kid! Here is a picture of us @ her college's football game a couple weeks ago. :)
