The February Fabulizers - Where we turn chores into habits and accept compliments gracefully

[TrampyPants]

New thread for a new month! Everyone is doing so well, we are forming some great habits and, hopefully, feeling better for it.

some good links:

How To Be Groomed thread

Discount Make-up and Toiletries
Cheap Smells
Fragrance Direct
Xtras Online
Look Fantastic

Its also worth joining groups like wowcher and Groupon for discount manicures etc.

Baby steps are the way forward, and if you fall off the wagon and have a pj day (or week) its ok, just jump back on. We want to take more pride in our appearance, make an effort. As one poster said, "we think there's no point making an effort if we are just at home with our DP's and DC's, but they are the most important people in our lives - why not act like it?" I certainly feel better, my self-esteem is higher and I have more confidence.

All welcome.

Happy Fabulizing Dahhlinks

Thanks Bleeding I'm definitely on the mend now. Just trying to get out and about more. Tomorrow's adventure is a trip to Asda!

I am not feeling particularly glamorous this morning (dressed for housework, running errands and gardening later) but have newly shaved legs, sparkly skin and will be getting dressed up later today for parents evening.

Back to work properly tomorrow so am going to plan my outfits today!

good morning, no interesting fabulising news from me really except I painted my nails on thu for the first time (including strengthener) since dc3! I used the free one from Marie Claire and found it really good, pity I'll have to take it off tonight for
bloody work tomorrow, actually I bought a few long stripy tops from H&M sale last week very me...going to wear floral tunic skinny jeans converse-types to take dc's to grandparents in a bit x

[GuyMartinsSideburns]

Morning! Today Im in stonewash topshop 'mom' jeans (god I love them but I had to try on 7 pairs on sat, each the 'same' size until I found a pair that fitted properly), blue vest top, charcoal boxy short sleeved top, grey sweatshirt, converse. Hair and makeup sorted.

Got a party to go to on sat, was going to wear my allsaints tee dress, however I really want some peep toe booties to wear with it... cant see that being sorted in time though.

Having a lazy monday, getting housework and all that done. Still havent got on with the shred dvd. I struggle so much with motivation.

Have a good day everyone

hello all, sorry I've been AWOL! off to read the thread and catch up.

[TrampyPants]

Always, I love, love, LOVE that jacket!!! its awesome. have a preen about looking you, am jealous are you feeling better? I've not been to Matalan for ages, I'm not keen on it, dunno why.

Engels, how are you doing? whats the hair like?

cj, is there a nail freebie in marie claire? interesting...

Not much from me, I'm off to the hairdresser on thursday, to dye my hair. Am torn between highlights, red or chestnut. I am crap.

[AlwaysReadyForABlether]

Trampy they've got that jacket in three other colours now too. I would have them all if I could! I haven't worn it yet as haven't really been out much but on the mend now so sure it will get an airing soon.
Matalan opened a brand new store in my town and I have been really impressed. They have a lot of nice things and it is reasonably priced. I got a great pair of black jeans for £10 and I love their pyjamas. You should have a look - I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.

I love it, it's just completely updated. fab, fab, fab. tomorrow dh gets paid, I am flexing his credit card in anticipation

I will take your advice and have a shufty.

[Engelsemama]

Hair is good thanks Trampy - nothing drastic, only a trim but feels a lot healthier.

I am on a bit of a budget at the moment clotheswise as we have a massive holiday coming up this year and need to save some pennies, so trying to make the most of what I have and perhaps will do some browsing for some new tops and accessories but nothing else

Still trying to stay groomed and fabulous though

[Engelsemama]

Just back from a run so achey but feeling all snuggly after a shower, moisturise and face mask.

Tomorrow wearing 3/4 length sleeve fat face dress, just above knee with a V-neck and twist at bust, dark blue floral pattern with hint of yellow, knee high dark brown suede boots. Trusty silver necklace and reckon I might straightne my hair in the morning to make it look a bit smoother (went to bed with it damp last night and run has not been kind to it, but wasn't dirty enough to justify another wash iykwim). I may even put my contact lenses in

[AlwaysReadyForABlether]

My River Island jacket got an outing yesterday (only to Ikea!). My sister really liked it and she's a lot trendier than me.
Unfortunately my day out has set me back and I was back at the doctor today. I am under strict instructions to take it easy and relax - not something I take well to but will need to try.

[GuyMartinsSideburns]

Hello!

Im going to a party tonight, so deciding what to wear. Either my allsaints tee dress (though not sure what to wear on my feet) or skinny jeans and a top. Im feeling a bit 'oh bloody hell sod it I'll stay home' but may have a glass of wine later when getting ready. Remember that shit 'friend' I mentioned a while back? Pretty sure she's going, and as she only knows me, chances are she'll sit with me... better go and make sure I look awesome

Hope you all have a lovely weekend, Im in love with a pair of allsaints boots and tried them on loads this morning, thankfully for my bank account they only had one pair of size 6 left and they were the display ones so I didnt bother. Dh says buy them off the website but Im not sure I can bring myself to click 'buy' I'll keep an eye out for a code I think and maybe that'll get rid of the sting!
