JARM's (et al) Boosting Yourself Thread...........

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

So, can we have a list of tips/must do's each day/week please to start off with?

Plus money saving cosmetic/beauty/style tips?

oh this is a good thread.

Thanks everyone

Agree cod (not that I would know about big norks) - but if you have black knicks and a black bra, etc rather than different colours, it does make you feel better.

how's everyone doing today - 2 days running now i've moisterised and also applied make up/fumes. DH thinks there's something fishy going on! lol.

pants. im sitting here nodding at it all, but not put into practise yet!

Lizzylou, what's the name of the Holland and Barratt moisturiser, sounds great.

im so pleased that others are feeling better because of all this.

I know i have come accross as a complete bint who knows nothing, but i guess thats what i get for being a young mum to 2 with a 15 month age gap - I just let myself go, worrying too much about the house and the girls and not enough about myself.

I really have appreciated all the help you lot have given me over the last few days.... it has made the world of difference in how i feel about myself and how little it takes to make a difference.

Thank you thank you thank you - but i still need a cardi from next!!!

i also did my make up again this morning.

i need to get a waterproof mascara and new tinted moisteriser though. might have a peer at the lip glosses as well in boots tomorrow.

great thread and good advice!
i'm going out for a meal on saturday evening (first time out since DS was born!), so will have a day shopping for clothes and make up tomorrow and then a nice pamper session in the evening!

Good point about expensive bras and matching knickers Cod, I will fork out for a decent bra but draw the line at paying £35 for ONE pair of matching knickers. If anyone lives near bluewater there is a great lingerie shop there called LEIA, ladies in there are so helpful and they have great sales. I look a size smaller when my norks are boosted up, gives me a waist I forgot I had! (still not a patch on the pre children one though )

I find if I'm wearing colour I feel more vibrant myself. After I had ds I had a major wobble in confidence (for lots of reasons) I had some therapy, started to rebuild myself and at the same time my wardrobe which I realised was about 75% black. OUT WITH THE BLACK GIRLS....you're not hiding weight, you're hiding yourselves!

dances that's a nice thought.

really must buy matching undies - but then DH will think there's somehting up! lol.

Lizzylou, come on, spill the beans about the cream.

jarm i said to you before - realistically i think 2 years after giving birth is time enough to get yourself back

get yourself to boots. they have a special opffer on ,spend £15 on boots no7 range (i got clenser toner and moisteriser today) and get a make up bag with goodies in like lip gloss, nail varnish, lipstick, lip liner, day cream and a few other bits.

Jarm, did you get my email re the stuff?

Hi GB - i did sorry, I had an IBS attack thursday night so was laid up most of yesterday.

Will sort today or tomorrow.

Thank you x
