How do you get yourself out of a funk? For me I like to curl my hair. Whenever I'm feeling a bit frumpy, grumpy and down on myself, a good hairdo really does the trick. This morning I woke up dreading another lonely work day so I decided that instead of putting on my usual work at home uniform, I'd spice things up a bit and do my hair and make up. I've been thinking a lot about self-esteem and confidence after reading this post and couldn't help but wonder why I couldn't be my made up self without all the fuss all the time. Makeup and hair or not I'm still me.
Weather or not you struggle with body image issues or self-esteem issues, this post has a great point of view and is a good reminder of why it is important to be your best no matter what that looks like. So while I will enjoy my curls today I need to remind myself that looking made up is an easy way to feel better it's not the solution to feeling better. How important do you think it is to look good all the time? Do you think it's any easy way out or an essential part of feeling your best? Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear.

i always feel grumpy if my hair needs washing, i dont 'dress up' all the time, but when i go out i like to have mascara on.. i'm trying to make more of an effort in the house but tbh my PJ's call to be, and well, he knew the risks when he married me :)
I think it's soooo important to look good all the time! This sounds so egotistical but please do not take it that way. I think we all have different ways and opinions on what looking good is and it's not always having on specific outfits or doing your makeup. But I know that there is always one little thing that we do to make us "feel/look" better in a non superficial way. And this is really important. Doing what you like, wearing what you want and not really putting so much thought into it. I remember (several years ago) I used to wear a pair of bright yellow rain boots everywhere!!! (Not out of the ordinary I thought). Thinking back I never really saw a lot of rain boots anywhere. So every time I wore them people would comment. But I just really liked the boots and didn't really say much. Haha.
phewwww...that was long. And I'm not really sure if that answered your question. :-)
you are gorgeous all the time. that being said i totally understand how it feels to wake up and avoid all mirrors. i think it is way more important to feel good all the time. if you feel good, you look good - because you are happy. so, i guess doing things that make you feel good are a perfect way to spend the day..well done you xo
