Make up at home.

I just wondered how many of you wear makeup if you are just at home for the day. I spend most of my days going to the gym, walking the dog and being at home on my own and I never think to apply any make up but am just thinking I need to take more pride in myself!

I think it's really quite sad when women feel they need to wear make up just to sit around the house or pop to the shops.

Why is it sad if that’s what they want to do?

Indeed. I find it offensive that people should judge me for doing what I want to do, for my own enjoyment and happiness, that doesn't affect a single other person. Why would anyone even have an opinion on that?

It's not sad to have a routine that makes you feel good, it's just self care.

I wear it depending on how I feel rather then what Im doing (same as dressing up).
If Im feeling full of myself I will be in full make up and posh frock just to walk the dogs!😁
