When do you do your nails/eyebrows etc?

I know this might sound a bit pathetic but i know very little about how to fit personal grooming into my busy life. I work part time and the rest of the time i have the kids with me. I seem to be rushing around every minute of the day. When i sit down at 9-9.30pm, i just want to relax, not file, pluck or wax. Am i a slob? Can you tell me, exactly when in your day/week do you file, varnish, exfoliate, pluck, wax and otherwise groom. Any help gratefully received!

Well I aim to be sitting down for 7.30 so I do it in the evening. Any time when kids are at school? Try and do bits at time so you don't end up totally yeti like?!

When they grow into one eyebrow.

I exfoliate (face and body) when I shower (which is every day), I also moisturise all over after drying.

I pluck on a morning when applying make up.

Nail polish is applied generally on an evening. I probably change my polish about three times a week.

I have a facial every six weeks when I go for my hair doing.

Once a week at Lunchtime - quick manicure & shellac polish
Sunday am, eyebrows
Five to Ten minutes each night, epilady legs, moustache, bikini & underarm. keeps it always under control. Would suggest a salon wax to start you off then epilady for upkeep.
Or good foundation & thick black tights.
Fuck it, don't kill yourself honey.

Every night, OPI cuticle and file when necessary.

Sunday, 30 mins in bath for a shave, face mask and hair mask.

Wax and microdermabrasion every 6 weeks.

Hair cut every 3 months (it's long)

I do eyebrows / remove nail polish and tidy nails while I watch the dc's in the bath.

I paint my nails when they are in bed.
