I went to the library the other day with the exact same question about how to feel attractive again. In about 30 minutes I found some great ideas, I went home and looked on the net as well..below is a summary of what I found.
-give yourself a firm exfoliation each morning (a few seconds with cold water and firm finger tips/ or rub ground oats which I blend myself)
-wear clothes that look good on your body shape. There was a great Trinny and Susannah book on it. I also was looking a site that has plus size sleepwear that I could wear around home and still feel attractive (for those days when I don't manage to get out of my pajamas). I am sure most of you have heaps of this sort of fashion I am sure- us ozzies are a little behind you guys.
-Natural, cheap and quick makeup tips for any occasion: dump the foundation,. just use concealer on the places that need it. Be sure to add it under your eyes and on the eyelid- this helps with eyeshadow, add blush to your apples of your cheeks, temples and chin(Weird I know but it works), sweep mascara over eyelashes, a little gloss. You can wear this to a wedding seriously, its great.
-make a schedule- write it down. With all the needed flexibility- e.g nap/put load of washing on. This helps us all to get the most out of our day and we feel good inside.
-hmmm...heaps more. I am blabbing on now. Anyway if you want a few more ideas let me know....
