What grooming do you generally not give a rat's arse about

[GetOrfMoiLand]

I am pretty well turned out - make up every day, well dressed (albeit conservatively for work), polishes shoes, hair washed and styled every day, eyebrows plucked etc.

But I never, ever paint my nails. I buff them and file them, but never paint them. Or my toes.

I also never wear earrings, although I wear a necklace every day.

And I only ever wear matching underwear the day it comes home from the shop. the rest of the time it is what is clean and comes out of teh drawer first.

[scurryfunge]

My eyebrows get left the way they are....life is too short

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

I rarely wear skirts, so sometimes my leg hair is braidable.

Sometimes hair (on my head!) doesnt get brushed, just swept up into a messy bun type thing with my fringe hanging in my eyes.

[minipie]

well.

I don't shave my legs very often - maybe once a week.

I don't blow dry my hair (or indeed brush it...) except for special occasions.

I don't use body lotion.

I don't use hand cream.

Perfume very occasionally.

Matching underwear only by coincidence not effort.

I don't do anything to my nails, except bite them.

[said]

Do nothing with hands but do paint toe nails when on show.

Rarely shave legs.

Earrings only if a special do

Rarely even brush hair, just roughly dry it with hairdryer. Only wash it about every 5 days or so.

[KnitterNotTwitter]

I don't like blow drying my hair so i always go into work with wet hair.

I only wear make-up on special occasions

Fingernails are assumed to be ok as long as they'e not too raggedy/muddy

If my underwear matches it's by luck not judgement

I don't clense/tone/moisturise - just let my skin do it's own thing

I wear the same necklace every day - sleep in it FWIW and I sleep in my watch too (someone told me once that was really unusual/weird)

I cut my own hair

I will happily wear clothes for 2/3 days before washing them, DH will wear something for an evening and then put it in the wash (disclaimer: my clothes get put in the wash if actually dirty/smelly)

Reading all this makes me sound a bit grubby - but I prefer the term low-maintenance - and no one has complained....yet!

[doggiesayswoof]

I paint toes but not fingernails

I don't worry about leg hair unless legs are bare

I don't mess about with my bikini line (except for holidays and maybe smear tests, which I know is daft)

I rarely wear make up, tiny bit for work and going out

However I always do body scrub/body lotion because my skin is dry and rough without it

Always wear perfume

Blow dry my hair every morning

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Lol at trimming bikini line for a smear test. I do the same. As if they give a shit!

I also wash my hair before I go to the hairdresser in case they think I am a greasy skank, even though I am paying them to wash it for me.

Odd.

[doggiesayswoof]

oh I do that too

[DramaInPyjamas]

Never wear matching underwear.
Cut my own hair since I was 14.

[Alouiseg]

(Gulp) I am officially high maintenance with the exception of my fingernails which are too crap and peely for polish. I can't be arsed with earrings either.

[NorbertDentressangle]

I don't bother with fingernails other than keeping them clean and at a reasonable length. I do however paint my toenails in the summer otherwise they feel too 'naked' when on display!

I don't bother with ear-rings. I gave up wearing them about 10 years ago when DD was a baby and grabbed at them all the time and just haven't bothered since.

[ChocolateMoose]

I don't: paint fingernails, do anything to bikini line, shave legs unless on display, have pierced ears, wear make-up except for evenings out, use perfume, use moisturiser unless my skin is dry and actually needs it.

I do: occasionally tidy up my eyebrows, paint my toenails in summer and I do like wearing matching underwear.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Oh and I don't take my make up off at night. It all comes off on the pillowcase (change pillowcases every day so that doesn't matter).

[muggglewump]

I care about all of it, really.
It's a bit sad really as I never go anywhere of note, but it makes me feel good.

I spend time on myself, my home, however, is a coup!

I enjoy painting my nails, and doing my eyebrows, and epilating, and matching up my clothes and underwear.
I love doing my hair, and can't imagine not do this stuff.
I don't spend much though, it's all charity shop and Semichem.

[FellatioNelson]

Blow drying (unless I go out) and nail varnish - never lasts more than half a day on me. Not very diligent in the bikini area eitther.

Can I just hijack for a moment please? A bit of personal business to attend to:

Alouiseg I've just stalked you to this thread to let you know I've name-changed. Just in case you thought I'd died in the night or something.

Thanks ladies. As you were.

[NanKid]

Undies.

I wear 'em clean (obv!) and plain black & cotton. I hate lacy, 'sexy' undies and feel like a 16 yr old in coloured pants.

I also can rarely be bothered to apply foundation.

[auberginesrus]

I rarely properly cleanse and tone, just use those wipe thingys, but always moisturise and wear make up most days (even if just tinted moisturiser and mascara at weekends)

Eyebrows - have done professionally every few months and then I try and keep up with the shape but fail miserably

Shave legs every 2 weeks or so in summer but much much less often in winter

Never done anything with bikini line

Hair is washed and dried every morning, but not what I would term a "blow dry" more a wave over with the hairdryer and a bit more attention to my fringe (hair is short)

Nails are filed and shaped when not bitten rarely remember to use handcream but they are starting to show their age now so I must remember! Toenails painted in summer but never any other time

Think I'm a bit mix and match

[midori1999]

I don't think I belong in the 'style and beauty' section really...

It would never occur to me to polish my shoes...

I don't pluck my eyebrows unless it's a special night out/occasion

same applies to make-up and I never take makeup off until the next morning either, and even trhen it is just a quick face wash in the shower.

same applies to doing/brushing my hair

I have had the same awful, baggy tracksuit bottoms on for over a week I think. In the house/garden/dog walking only, I put jeans on for the school run.

I bite my nails and get fake ones for nights out, it wouldn't occur to me to paint my toenails.

I did own some 'sets' of underwear, but I'd be lucky to find anything that matched these days, I just wear what's comfy.

I should shave my legs more, my poor husband...

My coat/trouser pockets are usually full of dog biscuits/treats and poo bags

I do, however, shower everyday although unless I am goin gout other than dog walks/school run I don't always wash my hair when needed, so sometimes it's a bit greasy...

My husband thinks I am high maintenance, he obviously doesn't know he's born...

[Alouiseg]

Ha ha! fellationelson! I was wondering who you were, great name. Now wax your bikini line you slattern!

[thisismyclone]

I would answer but have seen that Knitter has done so for me already

Word for word that is me...down to the wearing and sleeping in the same necklace everyday

[posieparker]

My hair is always very nicely up or down,
make up,
eyebrows...perfect
watch
rings (only wedding and engagement)
rarely any jewellery (sometimes links bracelet or Diana Porter necklace)
nails....rarely done.

[wineismysaviour]

Oh lordy I'm high maintenance reading this......

off to wax,polish,epilate,pluck,paint,smooth on,moisturise,cleanse,tone,buff,shape,match,
peel and brush.

[FellatioNelson]

Alouiseg I can't start now - DH will think I'm having an affair or a mid-life crisis. Anyway, I'm trying to cast off my inner bimbo and hone my intellectual side. I think a disgracefully unkempt minge is more fitting to someone of my ilk. I listen to Radio 4 and grow vegetables, you know. And I've let all my botox wear off. (Actually I regret that bit. )

I'm glad you like my lovely new name. I'm dead proud of it. I was thinking I might give it a week or two to settle in, then allow myself to be known amongst my friends as FelNel. Wotja think?

[SandyChick]

I wash, blow dry and straighten my hair every other day. On the in between day it just gets a quick brush. Have cut and colour regular

I swim so leg, under arm, bikini are done regular. Legs get moisturiser after shaving most times. If I wasn't swimming i wouldn't bother to shave my legs but would do underarm and bikini.

Wear a bit of make up most days- foundation, powder, eye shadow, mascara, gloss. I pluck my eye brows regular and also have them threaded/waxed when I have the time.

Underwear wise bra depends on which top I'm wearing and same for bottoms. I try to match the colour.

I keep finger and toe nails neat and tidy but don't often paint them unless going out.

I still look like shit most days!
