Flylady for our personal appearance?

I know it divides people but Flylady has really sorted my house. It works by having routines and introducing one habit per day over the first month. Once youve settled into the routines you can keep on top of the house without spending much time at all on it and without it really feeling like chores.

So if there was a Flylady system for our appearance, what would the 28 small habits be? Things that don't take long but make a big difference if done regularly. (maybe we dont need 28?)

Shred
Body brush before shower moisturise afterwards
Brush teeth, floss, mouthwash

Great idea. I think the main thing is to start small and break things down into smaller tasks. My routine is:

Cleanse and moisturise daily
Body brush daily (sometimes I do it before I go to bed)
Foot moisturiser every 2-3 days
Foot file once a week (ish)
Face mask every week
Paint toes once a week (I remove the nail varnish and then reapply the next day to give my nails a rest)

Hair mask once a week

This is basically what we're doing over on the Operation Renovation thread. It's based loosely on the old princessing threads which have a list of 20 habits to adopt. All newcomers welcome!

Ah, i didn't realise those threads where the same, I avoided the old ones because I didn't like the princessing word. Also there were definitely more things than I was prepared to do. Will take a look.
