What small things make you feel put together day to day?

[Linenspots]

What makes you feel 'complete' in your self-care routine?

For me, it's having my nails done and my hair clean. I don't wear make-up every day, and when I do, it's usually only a quick swipe of mascara. I'm not fussed about looking trendy or immaculately attired, and happy to slop around in baggy jumpers and leggings at home.

But I do like having my nails done every 3 weeks, and I feel very discombobulated if I have a day when I've not washed my hair, even if I'm not leaving the house all day.

I like lovely crisp ironed clothes. I really notice if I'm wearing something unironed. I know ironing is unpopular these days but I love it!

Clean hair. I’m the same as you, OP.

Couldn’t be doing with nail polish though.

Clean hair! Also get my brows waxed and tinted and my eyelashes tinted every 3 weeks. Nails every 4 weeks.

Eyebrows are the biggest thing for me, I feel really unkempt when they aren't waxed

The other thing for me is jewellery - watch and earrings at a minimum and I usually have a necklace and bracelet too

Do my eyebrows, wear some mascara. I like to have short, but painted nails too.

i also have to wash my hair everyday, I feel awful without it, and get my nails done every 3 weeks. Other than that I’m pretty low maintenance tbh

Earrings. I tend to tie my hair up so it makes me look like I've bothered.

My next aim is to get a pair that I can wear in bed, the shower... Just not take out. Yes I am lazy.

Clean straightened hair and a fresh fringe (wash this more than the rest of my hair)

Lurking. I never feel put
together of polished

lipstick and well fitting clothes

Mascara for me.

Can't have nail polish at work (cook) but I always have eyebrows done, mascara, bit of foundation and earrings (which I take out at work) and feel much better for it.

Jewellery. Always stud earrings, a bracelet and a simple necklace. I never take them off, just swap them over once a week if I feel like a change.

Spritz of perfume every morning after I'm dressed.

I don't necessarily wear make-up every day but I do look after my skin so I always apply a vitamin C serum and a SPF in the mornings. My make-up is light (bb cream, tinted lip balm, mascara and blush) but if I don't feel like wearing any I'll call it a skincare day and layer up a couple more skincare products.

I don't get my nails done, I just file and buff them once a week and apply a nail oil and hand cream.

I agree with this, and I go so far as to also iron my nightwear too. They're all woven cotton and it feels and looks so much better. It's a treat to myself and makes me feel like I'm looking after myself.

Always wear silver jewellery - earrings, bangle and a ring as well as wedding rings

Clean hair

Always wear make up,only takes 5 mins

If I manage to shower sometime before bed it's a good day. And leaving the house is also a chore but I do it a couple of times a week

Every day mascara (me eyelashes have blonde tips, so I hate being without), a splash of my favourite scent, a bit of undereye concealer. For nicer occasions a proper blow dry for shiny hair.

Air wrapped hair most days of the week. Instantly polished regardless of makeup or even outfit. It’s almost a non negotiable, I’ll never be the one to shove my hair up in a pony tail or badly styled bun.

I really started paying attention to this a few years ago (after seeing a lot of instagram posts about it)

I get my nails and eyebrow done regularly, and I try to “style” outfits as opposed to just wearing them. So belts, scarves, jewellery. I sleep in stud earnings and a simple necklace so i always have something on.

I also make sure I polish my shoes and mend my heels

Eyebrows. I actually don't really care much, I keep things very basic, but in the last couple of years my eyebrows have got out of control so I do get them threaded every few weeks. I feel much neater. I love feeling neat and I feel it most: freshly showered, hair blow-dried, eyebrows tidy, clothes ironed, shoes polished. I very much agree about ironed clothes = put together and I see other people with ironed clothes as more put together too.

Short, manicured nails and neat eyebrows, and coloured lip balm. My clothes for the office are always clean and thought out, even though I usually wear jeans and lightweight knit tops.

I wear gold Huggies in my first holes and diamond studs in the second and never take them out. From Abbott Lyon, like these ones

I get my nails done every 3 weeks (biab)
Eyebrows threaded once a month (this really makes a difference to me!)
Mascara every day
Jewellery- always earrings and wedding rings, feel better when I add a necklace

Nails for me too OP. Get builder gel every 2 to 3 weeks. Also lash lift and brows done.

I aim for a low key luxe look.

Always, always clean and fresh with a daily shower. Good perfume every day.

Every 2 weeks I have gel nails in a dark colour. Matching gel pedicure every 4 weeks.

Light make up. Erborian BB cream. Mascara. Tinted lip balm. Tidy brows. Even if I'm not leaving the house.

Doing this means that I can just throw on some jeans and a sweater and still feel put together.

Earrings in.
