Have you ever reinvented yourself?

[Yslyou]

This could be better placed in Style and Beauty but it’s more about just what I’m wearing.

I’d love to have a total attitude and external makeover.

I’m half assed in most of my life - work, exercise (none), cooking, appearance (long hair tied up each day, scruffy, no make up).

I’m quite an introvert and somehow actually get by ok in life but I’d love to make the most of my life - actually have pride in my appearance beyond being clean and have more of a go getter attitude but most days I just can’t be bothered.

Looking for tips and thoughts please!

• Sort a workout routine. It doesn’t need to be anything onerous. Half an hour a day, five days a week, HIIT or similar. Just find a YouTube PT that you like and follow them. I love Sydney Cummings.
• Get a decent haircut, possibly some colour.
• Book an MUA (do some research and find a decent one) and have them teach you how to do a ‘glam natural’ face.
• Follow fashion/style Instagrammers whose style you like. Get style recs.
• Sort a decent AM and PM skincare routine. If you’ve the money, book an esthetician, if not, Insta and YouTube are, again, valuable resources.
• Wear SPF every day.
• Go to the dentist every six months for a checkup and a clean.
• Get a manicure, a pedicure and a massage. Indulge yourself.
• Buy some nice underwear.
• How is your diet? Learn to cook (if you don’t already know how). Actually cook, as opposed to assembling processed food or having a handful of fallback recipes. Make yourself delicious, healthy, nutrient rich meals. Feed your body.
• Drink more water. At any point in time, have a bottle or glass on the go.
• Get a decent night’s sleep. It’s so important. Get nice sheets, comfy pillows, scented sprays, whatever you need.

Good luck!

@IMissVino Thank you for this! I definitely need an overhaul!
