Next year I want to be the best version of myself.
I am not looking to change anything via surgery or anything like that. I just feel that I do not make the most of myself. I saw someone give themselves a major makeover this year, and they look the very best version of themselves I have ever seen.
My weight needs addressing (1.5 stone overweight) and I am onto that.
My issues are;
I don't wear nice clothes, despite having them hanging in my wardrobe.
I don't wear nice jewellery. I have a few very nice pieces, but I feel they are too good to wear every day.
I have nice accessories (bags, shoes, scarves) but don't use them
I have makeup from good brands, but don't put it on except mascara
I never style my hair
I do my nails 3 or 4 times a year, and I have a draw full of nail varnishes
I have nice work clothes but am always running too late to wash my hair, put on makeup, pull out the nice clothes
Basically, I have nice things but they are wasted on me, because I don't use them.
Despite this, people tell me I look nice, and I get lots of compliments about my looks, but I don't feel good and I think to myself, well if they think I look alright now, perhaps I could look a lot better if I make an effort!
I do, do things for myself. I religiously look after my skin and it has paid off. I am very fussy about my hair, and it is cut, coloured and treated and in very good condition. I am very fit, and my nutrition is very good.
It's the superficial things that I just can't get to. My excuses are; work, kids, cooking, cleaning, walking the dogs, elderly parents.....life etc.
What are your NYR's WRT to you (S&B related).
Any tips to find the motivation to look good, find the time. Anyone got a magic wand?
