Can you tell me what little things you do to yourself that make you look and/or feel beautiful?

[NotEnoughTime]

As the title says.

They dont have to be expensive or done regularly but I wondered if there was anything I could do to make me feel a bit better about myself.

Im 40 next year and am thinking of having a surprise birthday party. Obviously I would like to be the belle of the ball (have never had a party before) and for once in my life I would like to start trying to look/feel my best instead of leaving it till 3 weeks before the big day and thinking s%£t I need to lose 2 stone, get rid of the suitcases under my eyes etc etc.

Any hints or suggestions would be most gratefully received.

I have already asked DH how I could look better and he said wear "a brown paper bag"! He was only joking-I think.......

Get a new dh! Or at least get the one you've got to start being more complementary to his lovely wife :o

I always feel a million times better if I've blow dried my hair. I'm not actually very good at it, but even my cack handed efforts make a difference.

Lovely perfume goes a long way to make me feel good too, I do like a nice citrussy zesty scent, or spicy like Bulgari Green Tea.

I have thought of getting a new husband headfairy loads of times once or twice but might as well stick with him for the time being

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. I will try and act upon most of it. Failing that I will take my contacts out as someone upthread suggested.
