To be jealous of women who always look immaculate!

[prettymuchapixiegirl]

Some women just look great all the time! My friend is gorgeous; lovely hair, nice figure, always well dressed, and generally looks very groomed even though she says she doesn't actually spend that much time/money on herself. Her house is always tidy and clean and even her kids look like they've stepped straight out of the Next directory.

I'm very jealous of women like this! Just what IS the secret? I need to know, my friend says there isn't one...

The ones I know have one child, two tops with a 5 year gap maybe that's the secrete.

YANBU - I'm jealous too!

First off these women probably have good genes/looks on their side so that makes things easier.

Maybe they naturaly have good taste - so always look fab

I'dd love to be like your friend.

Paid help? Beautician appointments? Personal shopper? Fab hairdresser?

Time management
Money
Determination/motivation (as in caring about well-presented kids, self and home enough that you are rarely tempted to let things slide and slob about on MN all day)

Lol DirtyMartini, I think your 3rd point is where I'm going wrong each day, hence I end up on the school run with frizzy hair, mascara under my eyes and very creased clothes.

I know someone like this. She is like a cross between Bonsoir and Xenia - works ft as a prosecutor, looks great all the time, beautiful immaculate house, hip French husband, cute toddler. And she seems nice, too

my 'best' friend is like this (official title is best friend but she's not really that great of a friend)

but she has no kids and a husband that does as much or even more in the house than her. plus i think it is genetic with her as her mum and sister always look perfect aswell.

uanbu, I am envious also.

im sorry, we just cant help it!

If the whole family is like that it's actually a tiny bit spooky.

They probably go round to their mum's on the eve of the full moon and cook up a batch of frogspawn and toadstool potion, sacrifice a goat and wash in its blood etc, then bob's your uncle ... the Immaculate Looks spell is cast till next moon.

That was to Boo, btw

is it spooky?? i just thought the girls had copied their mum!

I think it's all down to genetics and good taste really.

Some people are born that way...some people need to make a little extra effort and some simply don't look good no matter what they do to improve themselves.

Me too!
I do spend quite a bit of time trying to look my best but I always look scruffy and not-quite-right

hmmmm .. I would imagine most of them are high maintenance and a nightmare to live with beneath all that Estee Lauder..

see bubble, thats where you are going wrong, estee lauder dosent even touch the sides when it comes to being 'high maintenance'!

every now and then i have a week or so where i make the effort.then i forget!

I think people are just people. I don't judge a book by its cover cos I know lots of pretty women who are fantastic people...equally I know a few how are nightmares...same as the not so pretty/immaculate people I know.

If you re-arrange the letters in 'how' it makes 'who'...I swear

Spooky, def. Whole families of immaculate people can only mean a supernatural explanation.

i think you're right martini. i am going to contact the council, try and get a withc burning stake erected.

secret=get a job,dont fanny aboot on mn all day

secret=get a job,dont fanny aboot on mn all day

I was afraid that might be it :(

oh are you talking about me?

Ah no, reality has just bitten and I realise that I look like a bag of shit every morning at the school gate..........illusion shattered.
