OK! so i confess that i have never been a high maintenance chick; and quite frankly i don't have the time, nor the inclination, nor the finances to start being one at this point in my life either. I shamelessly walk around in shorts while my legs sprout unattractive firs, and my husband has had the misfortune of seeing my un waxed armpits and hairy upper lip to the extent of me baring an uncanny resemblance to Borat! Sigh! Now don't get me wrong, i don't intentionally want to be like this, or allow my self to slip to the very verge of needing waxing intervention; but life does get in the way, and practical issues like baby sitting, time and finances do make it harder these days to get to the salon than it did, say, 6 years ago. But this is no reason to allow myself to slip into looking like a raccoon, and it should not be one for you either.
As women, taking care of others before self comes naturally to us, sometimes to the detriment of our personal well-being. This, I'm sorry to say, should not be the case ever. Even with our busy schedules and countless to-do's per day, it is essential that we fit in a time for exercise, relaxation and personal grooming.I find this helps me feel better about my self and helps me keep a more positive attitude about everything else that seems to endlessly demand my time.
I have learnt some practical tips to help me with this and i would like to share them with you. Cleanliness is key. As women, nothing is more important than being clean and smelling pleasant.Nothing puts a man off (or any human being for that matter) more than a woman with bad BO! Admit it, you don't want to kiss grandma when she smells of Eau de Onions! Secondly, keep your hair combed and at a manageable length and style.You don't want a Shakira Long Locks if half of the time you keep looking like Lady Gaga Gone Wrong!Thirdly, Keep your nails clean. For stay at home mum's i find it best to keep them short as well.(Nasty odors don't get trapped and your kid doesn't get scarred) If you like a nail polish go for it, but try to keep the colours neutral as this doesn't look so bad when the colour chips and you're 2 weeks overdue for a fresh coat.Finally, tweezing your eyebrows in between salon dates, can help keep them looking better for longer. Don't forget that it is important that you take care of you because if you don't who will? Your family will be the happier for it ! : )
