I know someone who works F/T, got 4 DC and has loads going on in her life, and she always looks bloody fabulous. She looks the opposite to how I feel which can be described by this mornings routine.
I got up at 0615, put washing out, put on 2 loads, emptied the bins, got my lunch ready for work, washed some pots, then had 2 coffees, then only had 15 mins to get ready so didn’t shower, left for work dishevelled and just did my makeup on the bus.
I’m not a total disaster. My skin care routine all these years has paid off, and I’ve got to a good weight and work out a lot. I’ve got a decent hair cut. It’s just the superficial stuff I struggle with. I rarely have my nails done, I’ve a fancy Dyson all singing all dancing hair styler but not had time to use it yet (had it 2 months), I’ve nice clothes and accessories, I’ve great makeup, and I’ve nice jewellery.
I was away for a weekend recently, and went to a lovely concert. I was running late/ tired and ended up staying in my jeans and jumper rather than putting on the lovely dress I’d taken.
I’m not sure what my problem is; time, motivation or what? I just know that I want to look more polished, put together and glam in 2025. I’m getting older, and I want to look and feel good for my age. I know that I scrub up well because I’ve been given fabulous comments when I’ve been to weddings and finally made an effort.
