How much time do you spend on yourself?

[Dontbestupidagain]

I'm a bit shit at me maintenance. I shower everyday. Generally leave my hair to dry naturally. I have recently started wearing makeup everyday (am 40 and have new job after being SAH).
I don't do my nails. I don't style my hair and only have it done every four months or so. I exercise semi regularly. I'm not overweight but could definitely lose some. In short I am very low maintenance.
I never look polished though. How does one do that? If you are polished how much time, effort and money do you spend on yourself to achieve that?

I’m with you. Two children, a busy job and extended family commitments mean I occasionally blow-dry my hair, home dye it once every couple of months and paint my nails once a week. Also very low maintenance. Energy levels are what stop me working out, finances stop me getting my hair and nails done.

chocolate45 would you if you could? Much as I'd like to take more time, I'm not sure I can be arsed! I'm hoping someone comes on and says "I look immaculate and takes me half an hour a week doing blah, blah" and then I can copy that. However if it's hours at a salon and loads of cash then I'm out!

We don't have a lot of money, I work in an office environment so feel I have to make some effort in being presentable. But it is real basic, not a lot of make up - foundation, mascara and some eye shadow. All cheap stuff.

I have started going grey so I get my hair dyed every 6 months, trim every 3 months. Don't really do much with my hair, if I have time I might do a nice plait.

I try and go for a run 2-3 times per week, do some yoga at home (no gym membership).

Oh and I barely do my nails, maybe in the summer. Both my dc have left home but I work full time

I work 6 full days a week and I make an effort with my hair and makeup everyday.
Mind you I am single and my adult son left home tears ago.
When I get up at 5am I look like the gorgon so I really do have to make an effort haha.
A very good hairdresser 2 houses away from me does my hair regularly and I make the time to go for an uphill half hour walk every night. But when you're single you only have yourself to worry about.
