I get my eyebrows threaded every few weeks, and wax body hair. I don't do that myself. Sometimes I get my nails done, and I will occasionally go tanning. I have a lot of skin care products, I change them a lot. I'm not really obsessive about it, I don't use that stuff every day. Sometimes I wear make up, and sometimes don't. When I do, I only put on the basic stuff. I don't have that much make up products, but what I do have is kind of pricey though haha. I wouldn't go to an event or to the movies or the theater without at least minimum make up, but it's not a must for school. It really depends on the day and the mood. One thing though - I rarely leave the house without perfume. That's kind of retarded, unless the girl is 4 or 5 years old. Does anyone really do that haha?
I don't find high maintenance girls attractive. I couldn't stand to be with a girl who needs an hour every day to make herself look somewhat 'presentable'.
Hmm, well I'd say a girl's appearance is very important. Obviously natural appearance, but also looking after themselves. Appearance and health and genetics are all very closely linked. As a side point, hair on women (other than where its meant to be!) is something that would really put me off. Clothes etc are an indication of personality. Its obviously fine that they're into fashion and stuff too. Obviously if it was the ONLY thing they were into.. that might get a bit boring. Health/appearance and stuff is a big thing for me, myself as well. I'm not into gimmicky fashions, more about what suits me etc. Sometimes my work drains much of my time. But I go on fitness/appearance drives eg lots of cardio/martial arts or muscle bulking at certain pts in the yr. Say if I was many decades years older, I'd probably be spending money on cosmetic med treatment stuff too.
I don't know about Croatia but it is fairly common here. I knew a handful of women who would wear tiaras on their birthdays. And refer to theselves as princesses regularly.
I don't have to dress up for work, so I normally show up wearing a sweater and black or gray slacks, black or brown boots or shoes, and an overcoat. When I go anywhere else (to a play or to a grocery store, it doesn't matter) I don't leave the house without a bowtie and waistcoat, dinner jacket and leather gloves, this kind of outfit. I have been meaning to get myself a top hat but otherwise I try to keep the back and sides of my hair sheared and the top somewhat longer; I don't use put anything on my hair besides shampoo and conditioner twice a week. My clothing colors are very dull, they are all black, white or gray and I am able to easily look sharp because of this but I wear them well enough and find a high aesthetic therein; I do have a dark red bowtie though (crazy, I know!). No other kinds of ties and I think suits are hideous; the way I dress is old fashioned but business suits and the like are lifeless. I don't care for fashion and my manner of dress is anachronistic and yet very quiet, I don't look out of place in any situation because it's not overdressing but nor is it sloppy and thoughtless. I like when girls dress in a similar way with a bit more color, Aura does this and I believe we look well together. I dislike makeup entirely but she sometimes will put a bit on if we are going somewhere which demands fancy attire. And as an aside, I do actually own a bejeweled silver tiara and I do refer to myself as a princess (as do other people) when my mood calls for it, and I am blessed to be surrounded by friends who do not judge me for it and even come to expect as much from me. I definitely don't wear it on my birthday and it has nothing to do with an inflated sense of importance, but my gender identity is best described as 'ambigender' and I think our entire situation is equally as silly, with people I feel like I am a cartoon, and before God I am nothing.
My everyday/daycare look generally just includes yoga pants/fitness apparel and a couple swipes of mascara on my lashes. I don't feel like I NEED makeup to look/feel beautiful. I do love to get glam for certain occasions though. Roller Derby bouts and events are one of them. When a sponsor is paying for you to promote their products, pose with their hot rods, or help host their auctions, then obviously I'm going to go all out. Same goes for dates or nights out with friends. I love to get all dolled up to go out, and my style outside of daycare hours is very rockabilly/pin up, which tends to include makeup and hair styled. On the same note, I love when I can ditch the makeup and fancy clothes to snuggle at home and watch movies with someone. I workout because it makes me feel amazing, and I love feeling strong. I'm not one of those girls you see prancing on the treadmill whining about how many calories she needs to burn. I run because I want to be fast, I lift because I want to be strong, and I skate hard because I want to be the best. It has nothing to do with vanity. In fact, I always say, "If you still look cute after your workout, then you didn't work hard enough." I absolutely tweeze my eyebrows and wax my body hair because I like the way it feels. I don't require anyone else to be completely hairless, because I believe people should do whatever makes them feel comfortable in their own skin. I don't do the whole "princess" thing. I'll be the first to admit, I have a bit of a queen complex though...I blame my dad and the men I've dated for that one lol. Not that I expect it or need it, but I treat the men in my life like kings, and they're generally inclined to treat me like their queen. All in all, my whole life I've been considered a girly tom boy. I love bruises, scars, rough housing, and playing in the dirt. I know how to camp, shoot guns, survive, and even gut a fish. At the same time, I like to look damn good while doing it.
We are so the same. My dad is very outdoorsy. He only had 2 biological daughters. People have asked him if he was upset he didn't have boys. His response has always been "my girls can do anything a boy can do but they look pretty doing it". I love that he raised me that way. I've never been a girly girl but I can look like it sometimes. There's nothing wrong with that.
Lol yep. My dad doesn't have any sons either. He's the most amazing man I know, and is such an incredible dad. He'd play barbies and have tea parties with me one day, then teach me how to throw a football and catch fish the next.
I don't know. For Girls I like a lot of styles, so if she can pull of a lot of different looks that's cool. But I find over prissiness extremely annoying. I need a girl who'll get dirty when the time comes.
I do not wear a lot of makeup and it takes me less than 3 minutes to apply it. Basically light eyeliner (top lid only) bit of blush and lipstick. I do wear perfume though almost all the time. My hair I do colour but it is a wash and go style that only requires a little wax. I do pluck my eyebrows and remove leg hair and pits. I always have my nails polished as I like them that way. I love clothes but tend to stick to really classic lines and styles. For work I always dress but at home it could be hit and miss but it will still always match. Shoes are my weakness and I personally believe you can not ever own too many. I am not a princess but I do like to look presentable. Picking up a hammer, chainsaw or using the snow blower are all in my wheel house but so is sewing and cooking and decorating. I do not mind being scruffy when working on something but I can not tolerate feeling that way when I am done, so it is clean me time.
I remember being 14 or 15 years old and refusing to go out for a day on the beach until my makeup was done. I remember an older boy, that I had a crush on, telling me I didn't need all that makeup at the beach. I felt awkward because I wanted to look good for him. Through the years my confidence in being valued for who I am, as opposed to what I look like, has grown. I wear makeup if I'm going out somewhere and I gauge how much makeup I wear by the time of day and the event I'm attending. I'm a stay-at-home-grandma. Trips to the grocery store are not a makeup event, lol. Most ordinary days I only wear some lip gloss to keep my lips comfortable. I'm fortunate that my hair is naturally wavy, has a great cut, and does great as "wash and wear"
there are some very beautiful people in this world,but alas a few show there uglyness with there attitude to people
Thank you Janja. Young as we may be, stress and grief amount to a point where lofty notions give way to a desperation for guidance, to submit by inward repentance and remain thankful for what rapturous bliss may come about suddenly. We differ in terms of religiosity but I believe our feelings are the same.
This is my 30 minutes from shower to door look. Thank goodness for naturally curly hair. It takes longer when I straighten it. I don't think I've ever posted a picture of myself on here. Only in my profile.
I don't want to talk about all that on this forum, for obvious reasons, but yes, I generally agree with you. You are a decent human being <3
