What grooming do you generally not give a rat's arse about

[GetOrfMoiLand]

I am pretty well turned out - make up every day, well dressed (albeit conservatively for work), polishes shoes, hair washed and styled every day, eyebrows plucked etc.

But I never, ever paint my nails. I buff them and file them, but never paint them. Or my toes.

I also never wear earrings, although I wear a necklace every day.

And I only ever wear matching underwear the day it comes home from the shop. the rest of the time it is what is clean and comes out of teh drawer first.

have eczema, so cleaning face and moisturising is important for me...
when out/work I wear tinted moisturiser and mascara, otherwise I look anaemic and tired.
armpits get shaven every time I have a shower (every other day). legs less often.
don*t bother with fake tan (does not agree with my skin anyway), waxing of any kind, nail polish. I am lucky with my hair, just combing and it looks nice.

Hair removal- I am not very hariy but legs canget stubbly unless on show.

I am a bit lazy about underarm fuzz unless wearing sleevleless tops- and DH for some very odd reason likes fuzzy armpits! I don't let them go bushy but shave every couple of weeks. Ditto for legs unless on show.

I am pretty religious about other grooming as at my advanced age of 50+ I have to be. Body lotion 2x a day after bath/shower, my eyebrows don't neeed plucking- I need to make them bushier with eye brow powder.
I always do my toe nails ( polish) every 2-3 weeks, or more in summer, and try to file my feet every week at least, and file my nails once week and use nude polish.

Wear full natural -looking make up and jewellery daily and feel naked without earrings.

oh I don't do jewellry at all relaly, very occasional bangles and even more occasional necklace or pendant, it just never feels right to me

I don't generally groom my rat's arse. Does that count?

Goodness - am obviously rather high maintenance!
Eyebrows - always plucked into shape
Legs, armpits and bikini line - IPL
Hair washed every day even when ill!
Makeup Mon-Fri (don't work weekends)
Scent - every day
Moisturise face and body every day
Toenails always painted
Fingernails almost never painted
Wedding ring and watch - no other jewellery unless going out.

I just feel better if I'm groomed and DH appreciates ( a lot) the effort I make and TBH, it's been a habit since my early teens (wedding ring excepted, of course!) that I cannot imagine my morning routine being any different.
BTW - I also love Radio 4 and have a garden full of homegrown fruit and vegetables!!

I shave my legs every single day, even in the winter.

That feeling when you rub your legs together and there is stubble makes me shudder like someone has run over my grave...

Actually quite envious of girls who can just leave theirs!

I thought I was low maintenance, and tbh so would anyone looking at me, I reckon, since my hair is in a ponytail 90% of the time (and believe me, it does NOT suit me) and my clothes look like I've dressed in the dark.

BUT.

I wash and condition my hair every day.
I moisturise my face twice a day, my body once a day. I paint my toenails (but keep my fingernails clipped and unpainted). I pluck my eyebrows when needed, shave my legs and pits every other day, get a bikini wax regularly(ish).

I don't colour or perm my hair, but have a hideously expensive cut every three months. (Why? You may ask, given my ponytail habits)

However. I don't wear make-up every day, although the frequency is increasing with age, I never wear necklaces because I break them, I wear my wedding and engagement rings outside the house but never inside.

I have fake-tanned but always get it wrong, so don't bother anymore.

Oh I dunno. I can't work out if I'm high or low maintenance.

Oh and I don't give a rats arse about curling my eyelashes. There. Answered the actual question at last.

Oh and underwear matches by default because I only wear white cotton knickers and bras.

Oh most of it. I haven't been to a hairdresser for about 3 years (have been growing my hair), only shave legs/armpits if am going to wear a skirt or a sleeveless top (and not always then). I use a few moisturisers and suchlike when I remember as I am 45 and work outside a lot so my face feels more comfortable if moisturized, though I have rosacea, so it doesn't seem to make much difference to how it looks.

I wear make up some days but not others, more than I used to as I'm an Avon rep, and I usually wear some sort of perfume. Earrings if going out/working, necklaces quite often, I also have one ring and one bracelet that I never remove.
I only wear a bra for Morris dancing or if my norks are PMT-painful, but it wouldn't occur to me to match it to my knickers.

I have always been fairly low-maintenance though, as a lot of my (pre-DS) clubbing etc involved going out straight from work so it would always be a matter of what could be chucked in a bag and didn't weigh too much. Also I would always rather spend more time in the pub and less time fannying about gettting ready.

Gosh, most of it!

But the one I thought about last night was watching an ad being embarrassed by 'hard skin' on your feet, then reading an article on it. Doesn't everyone have hard skin? Isn't that just what feet look like? (am not embarrassed by my feet at all but think they have hard skin patches. Weird.)
