bbkaren Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've been doing that lately too. Usually I could care less, but isn't it surprising how you feel...and how much better you look...when you just do those two little things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It's been too hot to wear makeup. Next week I am going to a party so I will break out the makeup. I might even splurge and wear perfume. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I timed myself this morning to see how long I spent on my hair and make-up. It took less than 60 seconds to swipe on mascara, eyeliner, & chapstick. It look less than 2 minutes to put my hair into a cute ponytail and put on a necklace. Not too shabby! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB in NJ Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I didn't. I'm about to spend 14 hours traveling so why bother? Not that I normally bother. LOL See, I *would* bother! It takes about 2 seconds, and it makes me feel presentable, even if the only people I'm presenting myself to is my family in the car with me.

ChristineW Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I hate mascara, but I did put on some tinted moisturizer with sunscreen and some lip stain. My hair is brushed and in a ponytail. Less than 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I have long, dark eyelashes, so no mascara for me, but I did put on Blistex. Does that count? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 LOL I haven't. But I am going to a family gathering tonight and I will then. lol But it's outside, so I am wearing very low heeled sandals. I am debating a coat of light polish to hide my stained gardenr's nails. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I did. :) I didn't yet.. Well, I'm dressed... lol But tonight, I'm going to Boston to some "avante guarde" restaurant (that's what I call the funky places my talented chef brother and beautiful, fun loving Brazilian sister in law choose, that me and hubby would never even know about..LOL) and I am going to go all out and do my hair, makeup..jewelry..and GASP..gold metallic strappy sandals with jeans and a pretty flowy tank style blouse. After these threads I'm a little more motivated to dress up for the night on the town with my hubby, brother and sister in law! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) See, I *would* bother! It takes about 2 seconds, and it makes me feel presentable, even if the only people I'm presenting myself to is my family in the car with me. This. A few years ago I realized that my boys main memories of me were going to be of me dressed in sloppy tees, ragged cut offs, and shaggy hair...and I had the photos to back that up. I decided I wanted them to have a more stylish memory of me....:D So I lost 20lbs (and have kept off 15) got my hair cut in a short, easy care style with highlights--that's morphed into a longer style now days. I still wear tees and shorts around the house, but I try to save the really ratty stuff for paint projects and gardening. Otherwise, I wear a tee that fits a bit better. I've got coffee table sized booKs so, that's a challenge. If I run out to do errands, I wear a nice skort, shorts, or jeans and cute tee with sandals. If I'm going to church or out to eat, or these days, to an business appointment, I have skirts and slacks I've collected with care over the past few years. Once your littles are ten years old or older...it's easier to find time to fix and fluff. I can go from grunge to fluffed in 30 minutes flat. Shower, hair, dress, a touch of make-up, and earrings. Cute, but comfortable shoes. I want my sons and husband to be proud to be seen with me. *They* are worth the effort. Plus, I saw how the French women dressed to go grocery shopping when we lived in Europe. Sigh, I can't quite achieve that fabulous casual chic, but I've gotten several comments in recent years about how pulled together I look. Still easy, friendly, and casual. It doesn't take a lot of dollars (because we don't have a lot...) or time (because I don't have extra there, either.) To each her own...

Peela Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I agree about the family's impressions- the images the kids grow up with. My mum was overweight all my childhood but she dressed well and I loved her clothes, her makeup- I still have memories of certain of her clothes- I didn't care that she was overweight. The other day I had to drive my dd17 to a function at 7am. I wore sloppy clothes and my slippers because I figured I didn't need to get out of the car..(I don't normally do that)...but she really noticed and it made me realise that I am glad I normally look good for my kids- that they aren't embarrassed to bring friends home, that people have often commented that dd and I look like sisters. It feels good. We are the same size now and that is fun. Now, if only my dd17 didn't steal all my good makeup, maybe i could put some eyeliner on.

LaxMom Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I didn't. (I usually do) I'm not sure I washed my face and can't remember brushing my teeth... And I think there are spiders in my hair. :glare: I DID, however, drink coffee until 7:30 before I started demolishing the decking on our front porch while I waited for my husband to get home and lend the brute force for ripping out rotten joists and putting in new ones. :D Now, to shower the spiders out and scrub the spray foam off my leg. Egads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
