Thoughts for Thursday: Physical Self-Maintenance
My TFT today is about physical self-maintenance....you know, upkeep. I was thinking about different things that most women do to make themselves look and feel good. You know..... working out or dieting, getting manicures & pedicures, getting hair cut & colored, tanning, wearing makeup, new cloths, etc.
For me, I try to look good most of the time but I am far from high-maintenance!
- I wear makeup everyday (even if I don't plan to leave the house)
- I get my hair cut & colored every 3 months or so.
- I minimally style my hair 4-5 days a week.....never bother blow drying
- I like my feet to look pretty, but I cannot justify spending $30-40 on a professional pedicure, so I do them myself.
- My fingernails are kept short and I never wear polish.....I had acyrlic nails for several years back in high school and college, but I will never do that again.
- I get very tan naturally in the summer and almost never tan in a booth....I do not want wrinkles or skin cancer!
- I go through streaks with dieting and working out.....both are something I wish I prioritized more. Being thin just isn't something I have ever worked hard enough to achieve.
- I do not spend a ton fo money on clothes. I usually buy just a few things each season.
I know many of you who read this are mothers. I have noticed that with some of my own friends, they tend to worry less and less about self-maintenance once they have kids. Does having kids do that to you? Or is it a matter or personality or vanity?
So ladies, today I am asking you to divulge what your self-maintenance priorities are..... what do you do regularly to make yourself look and feel good?
