Do you ever achieve perfect grooming?

I never feel as though I am perfectly groomed, although I do what I think is probably an average amount of grooming (i.e haircut and colour, pluck and dye eyebrows, shave underarms and legs, wax bikini line and nail varnish on fingers and toes) there is always something that needs doing and it's never always done at the same time IYSWIM.

It drives me mad!

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. It may seem that they are not done at the same time but I bet people look at you and see seamless grooming.

My grooming tends to be an ongoing project rather than a single event too.

As Tulpe said, it sounds as if you're doing the right things. I always try and have an extra long shower on a sunday night to do the 'extras' - deep hair conditioning mask, face exfioliation, face mask, body scrub etc. From 7pm-7.45pm on a Sunday night is 'F-off and do not disturb me when I'm in the bathroom time'!!

Thanks ladies, very kind words! Like that idea a lot Faff.

I exfoliate face in shower, that always freshens me up and takes 2 ticks.

Sometimes, yes. Only because it's so cheap to pay others to do the boring jobs though. Before the baby I would often go get Mani, pedi, wax, highlights and hair cut in one day. Now I haven't done any of that in months. Including the wax Confused

Sorry... So cheap HERE. Not in Uk!

Mani, pedi, wax, highlights ....?

I thought grooming was remembering to clean behind your ears. Grin
