5-Day Makeover Plan

77 replies

WhatsGoingOnEh · 29/09/2014 10:25

Anyone fancy joining me? I feel HIDEOUS and want to tackle it. I've got no evening plans this week so I'm going to follow a home-made makeover plan to try to look and feel better by Saturday, even if it's just purely psychological and I look exactly the same to everyone else.

I have 20lbs weight to lose which will be a longer-term thing. This week is just to kickstart me, and stop me feeling so depressed and fugly. When I feel better, I naturally eat better and feel more positive. This is just to kickstart that.

The plan:
Follow a diet. Any diet allowed. Anything to lose 3-5lbs.
Every day, do 45 minutes' exercise.
Every night, go to bed at 10pm.
Every day, do one or more 15-minute makeover treatment from the list below.
Every day, drink 8 glasses of water.
Every day, whiten teeth.
Book a couple of bigger treatments, like dentist, facial, massage, etc.

Makeover list:
Dye eyelashes/brows
Do pore strip
Deep-condition hair
Facepack
Body exfoliation
Manicure
Pedicure
Fake tan
Sort out wardrobe - get autumn clothes ready
Chuck/Ebay/give away things I never wear
Wash make-up brushes
Sort out make-up bag, and piles of beauty stuff I've bought but never used
Watch beauty tutorials on YouTube
Wear moisturiser underneath gloves/socks in bed
Sort underwear into matching sets, ditch the grey shiat
Sort workout gear out, so I actually have nice things to wear to the gym
Have a sauna/steam at the gym
Do workout from Workouts App

If you have any other ideas for makeover treatments, please add below!

Would live others to join me. Otherwise I'll carry on, bravely alone Wink, and use this thread for Accountability.

My friend gave me a home made scrub made of sugar, lime and coconut oil.

Just used it in the bath and my skin is glowing!

Feel amazing.

Update: I should NOT have used the home made scrub on my face.

Awoke to two huge spots this morning. The one on my nose makes me look like a rhino.

I can see it out of the corner of my eye!
