Makeover Challenge and Diary

[endingintiers]

anyone want to join me on a makeover challenge?

I plan to do one thing a day to make myself either look or feel better about myself, and I’ll record it here for accountability.

I’m a 45 year old perimenopausal woman who’s overweight, overwrought and puts no effort into myself - and it shows!

I feel really negative about my appearance, I have never had much confidence in myself due to being bullied at school but now with peri I feel like I am ‘losing my looks’. I know so many stunning women aged 50+ though and just want to give my head a wobble and start doing something about it instead of feeling low.

Now the kids are getting older I am starting to have a bit of time. I’m terrible at routines (probably ADhD) and don’t have a lot of cash spare. I will include physical health tasks and exercise as well as beauty as they make me look and feel better about myself.

Any advice on where to start would be super - and pls join in if you feel the same.

I loved being these threads, so I'm following. What's your thing for today?

Hi @Magien, nice to see you here.

I've currently unwell so can't do too much physically.

I've just booked a hairdressers for next week, and contacted a dentist to see if we can get on their list. I'd like a proper teeth descale asap.

I'm on my second bottle of water for the day.

I'm currently researching student/training beauty salons in London as I don't have a huge amount of cash but would like to book in a deep cleaning facial.

And looking for good videos of glow ups on YouTube... problem is they're all gorgeous to begin with, I need inspo from some real women!

Going to dig through my bathroom cabinets and see if there's anything I can use there

I've caught the lurgy too! Does beauty sleep count? 🤔

@Magien definitely! I have insomnia (peri related) so sleep is high on my beauty to do list...

Found a face mask and fake footners in my bathroom cabinet so have done both of those

Diarised calling a beauty college on Monday about a facial

Watched some YouTube videos but got really overwhelmed by the sheer volume of beauty products they mention/don't know how to combine them.

Booked 3x pilates classes.

Am knackered now but that's a good start.

Feel worse today but started oil pulling and did 2x face yoga videos.
