How Far Do You Go To Look Good???

How far do you go to look the way you want to? Do you really not care? Are you one of those people who scoops up whatever's on the floor, drag a comb through your hair, and goes out to scare the world into respecting you? It's your mind that's important, and hey, you're cute without a lot of effort anyway, right?

-OR-

Are you a "health is wealth" kind of person? Do you figure that as long as you are clean and healthy, you look good? Do you wear comfortable clothes and only alter your body in ways that make natural sense? Of course, your toes are rusty, your top is wrinkled, but hey! you're clean and covered and that's all that counts, right?

-OR-

Are you a "high maintenance" type of person? Do you have to scrape off a layer of chemicals to see what you really look like? Your hair is dyed, your face is carefully made up, you wear expensive perfume, you get manicures, pedicures, and body massages, all your body hair is plucked, shaved, waxed, or otherwise tamed, and you wouldn't be caught dead in an outfit that doesn't match or isn't ironed. It takes you thirty minutes to get ready for bed and three hours to get ready to leave the house...but you bangin' when you do! Right?

Which one of these (or a different, individual mode) do you think you fit? Do you do a lot to look good, or a little???

 

i put on clean clothes, brush my teeth and hair, wash my face if it needs it.

Usually i throw on jeans and a t-shirt, so i don't bother to look in the mirror, but if i'm going somewhere besides the grocery store, i'll take a few minutes to decide what i "feel like" wearing, and check the mirror to be sure it still looks appropriate (i'm pregnant, so things are starting to shift).

I put more care into getting my kids ready, because i know wherever i go, that's who people are really going to be looking at. Not that i go to extreme lengths or anything, but besides being clean, i make sure they smell good (alot of people have this thing with sniffing kids for some reason, lol) and grab enough matching, extra clothes so that if they get food or something on themselves, i can change them into something clean. Of course, if their pants have gotten too short or something, i have to find another outfit, but that's mostly so my mom doesn't think i've neglected them, and she goes to buy another pair!

 

I'm definatley clean....but usually I just throw on whatever is comfy and head out the door. I don't really care how I look.....I wear what I like. And yes sometimes it does come off the floor! But not because it's dirty or stinky I'm just lazy sometimes and throw clean clothes on the floor.

 

None of the above. I care more than the first, but less than the last. I come my hair, do makeup, sometimes try to style my hair out of it's normal shape. I wear jeans and a T, but sometimes I make it a really cute shirt. I don't worry about covering up pimples, but I won't leave the house without at least mascara.

 

i use good hygene but i dont care how ppl think of how i dress and i dont generally wear make up I dont want a man or a woman who is attracted to me for how well i put my make up on. I clean up really well but I dont really care. It's not about self respect..well yeah it is I respect myself wnough not to have to hide who i am.

 

i used to be a fanatic about the way i looked. in high school the way you looked was everything. i worked out everyday and made a big deal about what i eat. i did every diet and i did every work out i could find or think of. i'd get up early in the morning to work out, get my shower, lotion from head to toe, pick out something that looked good at every angle in the mirror, have matching purse/shoes/jewelry, and of course make up.

since ive been in college....thats changed. A LOT. i never thought i'd b this way, but i pretty much stopped working out the summer after i graduated high school. i got into yoga and such, but i havent been able to do much of that in college. sometimes i cant make it to the shower everyday...umm i dont care bout what clothes i wear, i kinda forgot about all the jewelry i own, my make up supply is very limited, almost non existant now, since i put it on on the weekends only, i got out of the habit of lotioning everyday, and i really dont spend as much time in the mirror.
but my poppi makes me feel happy to be me without havin to get so fancied up. i really feel kinda bummy sometimes tho, so maybe i should get back into those habits, hmm...

 

A friend told me today that I always look perfect that made me feel good. I always am clean and for the most part keep hairless and have a perfect manicure but beyond that unless I'm at a conference or something I don't put that much effort into how I look.

 

That's an intriguing Concept worthy of Research...

 

If I'm gonna go out I'll wash and do my henna, but if I'm just staying in it's moisturiser and leave in conditioner. Only me who smells me, right? (Well, the neighbours might be able to smell me through the walls... )

 

it depends on the day. Today, allI have to do is walk into the office where there is no one there but me and sit and email my boss and answer the phone. I grabbed some wrm comfy clothes (NOTHING is clean in my house clothes wise, I have to do a shit load of laundry still) pulled my unbrushed hair into pigtails, wrapped a scarf around them, brushed my teeth and walked out the door.

If my boss is here i put on something a little more "office like" and make sure I brush my hair. I never go all out and spend time getting ready for stuff. I bathe pretty regularly and I don't smell bad. That's all that counts to me. I'm low maintainence.

 

i shower and brush my teeth every day! I don't bruch my hair as it is locking up but I also keep the dreaddies very clean...
I don't care if my clothes have been washed as long as they still smell fresh HAHA I see no point in wasting water on a shirt I wore for like 3 hours the day before...
I only put on eyeliner and eyeshadow and glitter once in a while, I don't wear much makeup on a dialy basis!
​

 

I take a shower almost everyday... somedays its hard cause of me waking up to late and having to go... ... Brush my hair and teeth grap whatever is clean or doesnt smell and out the door i go.....

 

i shower usually once a day sometimes everyother day... i dont wear a lot of make up actually i have never wore conclear or foundation or whatever its called... i wear pretty eye stuff casue if i dont i kinda look sickly casue my eyes are kinda big and they look all sunken in and people aways ask me if i dont feel well.... if my clothes smell clean and arent obviously dirty then to me they are clean i brush my hair if it needs it... and i shave when it srats poking my other leg... i usually shave my armpitts everytime i take a shower just casue .... and i brush my teeth like 4 times a day becasue i have some kinda calicum problem and if i dont the dentist says tey will rot out of my head and well i like my teeth they help me eat... i dont own any get dressed up clothes just jeans, pants i have made, skirts, and a bunch of t- shirts... i dont care how much i weigh as long as i feel good.... yep my mom thinks i should have been a boy... sometimes i agree

 

I'm not really bothered about my appearance...but i'm clean and smell good hehehe...i usually wear baggy trousers and a long sleeved shirt underneath a band t shirt, or whatever and a jacket and comfy shoes...sometimes i forget to brush my hair but i've shortish hair right now so it doesn make much of a difference.
I might make a bit more of an effort to look more presentable when i go out, like wearing a bit of eyeshadow and some lipstick but nothing more, oh ands i might wear other jewerly or comb my hair differently...depends on my mood
I'm not really into looking girly, i love the casual, alternative look...it's more "me" everytime i've worn high heels or skirts i feel so not me.

 

Hey, what's high maintenance about getting a massage? Massages are not about looking good...they are proven to be physically, emotionally, and spiritually therapeutic! I know plenty of people that don't wear alot of make-up, are very natural and still get massages weekly.

 

Oh dear, I seem to have more of the "high maintenence" traits in me. :& My face is carefully made up, although the make-up that I wear is very natural and doesn't even look like I have much of any on anyhow. I basically use it to even out my skin tone and to magnify my lashes. I don't really wear lipstick, just tinted lip gloss for the most part, or simply some yummy lip balm.

My body hair is plucked, shaved, waxed, or otherwise tamed, and I've got somewhat of an obsession over that one. I usually shower everyday, but in the winter months I tend to go every other day because everytime I shower, I wash my hair, and if I wash it every single day in the cold months, it dries my hair and scalp out. I don't, however, get manicures or pedicures, or even get my hair done at a salon but once in a blue moon. My hair is natural, undyed, down to the middle of my back and in need of a trimming because the ends are getting split, but I'll do that myself, like I normally do.

I'm not proud of this, but I wouldn't be caught dead in an outfit that doesn't match. Everything has got to match and matching accessories are a fave.

It takes me about 20-25 minutes to get ready for bed, but mainly because of my routine of washing my face, pony-tailing my long hair back, removing my contact lenses, going to the bathroom, then washing my hands, brushing my teeth, and taking my bedtime dose of Dilantin (anti-seizure med) and yes, sadly it takes me three hours to get ready to leave the house...but not all of that is because of ME. I have three little ones to get ready as well.

Okay, no more making excuses for myself, no more beating around the bush. I'm a total girly-girl and I love primping. There. I said it.

 

I'm more high-maintenance... I like make-up and skin products, I like doing things to my hair... I shower everyday or every other day, use body sprays, etc. I like clothes that are clean and smell nice, and match too. I hate going out in just jeans and tee, I'd rather wear nice jeans and a sweater or a cute shirt My nails are usually done (feet always done, nails most of the time) and I go for pedicures with my mom at least two or three times a year. High-maintenance? Probably. But I love going out feeling good about how I look

 

I am very picky about being clean and smelling good....i shower every day, i try to brush my teeth after every meal, my hair is always brushed, no leg or armpit hair, no yucky exsess oil on face (i wash my face, or use an astringent, i have oily skin), lotion on the dry skin, it took me ten tries to get the perfect deoderent/antiperspirent, oh yeah i can't STAND sweat on my clothes underneath my armpits feels so gross (sleeveless tops or loose sleeves) and i don't wear makeup. i also drink a lot of water and i am a vegetarian. it must be working cuz im not crazy yet. i think im obsessive compulsive

 

I had a pedicure done when I was 7 months pregnant with my twins. My sister-in-law treated me to it. I must admit, it was awesome. That's the only time I've ever had one.

 

I love a good pedi but the only problem is my feet are so darn itchy! sometimes I think I could pee my pants laughing so hard lol
