Honestly, I wish I was more vain. I know of friends who eat very little just so they can stay in shape as it is so important to them to look good. Then there are friends who MUST put make up on whenever they leave the house. My Mom has always nagged me to dress better and leave the house more groomed. I’m trying! But obviously not enough because sometimes, I still feel blagh and don’t want to put on a single drop of make up. How does one put make up on after being face NAKED every single day for more than 10 years? Besides, people who judge you on how you look rather than what you do are idiots. Actually, that isn’t true. There’s a fine line.
Image matters. What image do you want people to perceive you as? For the longest time, I did not care. People will like me for me, not how I look, right? Unfortunately, it’s not so straightforward. Like it or not, people do judge. You don’t have to spend hours grooming yourself but as long as your hair is neat and clean, your body is clean and your clothes are ironed and your shoes are clean, you’re good to go. Some lipstick would be nice, just to add a touch of colour. Rather than uncombed hair, smelly armpits, shirt with collar sticking out etc.
I must admit though that when I do put some paint on, I do feel a little pretty but honestly, sometimes I feel like an idiot too. I just wish I had a good body but I love food so much. I’m still working on my mind to come to terms with the fact that if I want a good body, I HAVE to stop eating the way I do because I do not have a high metabolic rate and I cannot afford to eat the way I do if I want to have a slim, fit body!
*groan/moan/groan*
Mind over matter.
I obviously have more matter……..
Bwahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
What about you? At what point to you groom yourself when you leave your home? Is it important to dress up and look good? How much make up is enough?

I’m one that hates to put on make up, waste of time and like you say, I look like an idiot if I suddenly do that out of the blue since I’ve not been doing that for years. Only time exceptional would probably be wedding dinners
The heat makes it so unbearable to even dress up..also I do have the weight issue to deal with.
I only dress up for church and work, the other times its just shorts!! and lipstick 🙂
