Lockdown S&B epiphanies!

[christmastreewithhairyfairy]

I was thinking that I've had a few revelations during lockdown. Ok revelations may be strong, but little discoveriesthat make life slightly better.

Here are my top 3:

• Wired bras are bullshit and bralette thingies are amazing. All my old bras gone in the bin, and skinny jeans and (all but the barest smear of) makeup may well go the same way.
• Corn pens are like targeted footners - less faff, cheaper and imo better on really stubborn bits of hard skin. I'm a bit addicted
• I don't have to hide away for an hour after waxing my moustache, I can just slap on a tea tree face mask and go about my merry business until theredness goes. I also now have fewer lip spots. And if DH has noticed the connection between a "pamper session" and the disappearanceof my face fuzz, he has been too polite to say!

Please tell me about your epiphanies. Or are you a dermatologist come to reprimand me for the last 2

not sure why some of those spaces disappeared

theredness = the redness

I kept working so didnt make any style changes.
I'm off to buy a corn pen though, thanks for the tip.

No revelations for me either as work has been so much busier than usual ....but I am following this to see what other people have found, I am always up for some tips!!

I wfh in normal times so lockdown only differed in the sense that I simply didn’t shop unless for food.

1/ stopped wearing eyeliner on upper lid. Couldn’t be arsed and later realised my face looks better without it. It made my eyes look a bit overwhelmed, heavy.

2/I don’t need many clothes. Didn’t have too many, but I really need much less than I used to think.

3/I look great with 6 months rest from highlights. Am dark blonde and the regrown looks fine, so no only going to get it done once a year.

4/I really want to get toned!

Beatrixpotterspencil I could have written all of yours too!

On no 2, I realised how many crappy supermarket clothes I have that I hate. Inspired by the "how not to look middle aged" thread I'm phasing them out in favour of fewer, better quality things

I guess my style/beauty changes have been driven by

a) comfort - after wearing pretty much only lounge wear (and no make up) for a few weeks I didn't want to go back to anything tight or restrictive or faffy
b) practicality, e.g. DH being in the house while I'm trying to hide evidence of beautifying
