Oh god! I'm vain as could be! I revolve my life around it. I do my nails every morning with my coffee, ginsing and green tea. I do facial exercises as my nails are drying. I then do my 30 minute workout while the coffee still has me hyper. I then take my protien drink with vitamins. I then wash my hair,(if its monday, friday,or sat)on off days, I wear it in a bun. I then brush my teeth. Then I put on my makeup. Clean the house, go to work. I wash my body and face at night before bed.

What kind of facial exercises do you do? I keep reading that they're bad for your face but you're gorgeous! Please tell me your secret.;-)

I try to take a little time to 'beautify' every day. Nothing major though, I like the fresh, natural look. Besides the usual brushing teeth, combing hair, deoderant, etc., I usually use a little touch of mascara and blush. (I have blonde eyelashes, and pale skin...you can't even see them if I don't.)

Life does get hectic and natural beauty is the best, but remember to pamper yourself once in a while. You need it!

Not really, I get up and get ready really quickly and then it's off to class or to work. There's not much "beautifying" in my daily routine.

Remember to take time to smell the roses once in a while. Life escapes us to quickly not to take time for ourselves. Don't rush, take your time and enjoy!!

Take pride in how you look and things around you will look differently as well. I only spend 15 minutes on hair and makeup, but I feel better about me. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy your day!

That is all we really should have to do. What do guys do? Shower, shave and dress .........if we are privileged, we get cologne thrown on. I think as long as our presence is neat, clean and mature looking, who cares about make=up.

I'm trying to make time to do that. I'm trying to learn to take some time for myself each day to at least read, learn to do something new (like sewing), maybe writing, etc. It all contributes to our inner beauty.

very profound and true. Beauty is only skin deep and if you don't have a beautiful personality and soul, you can still be very ugly. I don't believe I'm beautiful on the exterior, but I have a wonderful heart and it shines through! I bet the same is true for you. Have a great day & thanks for the reply.

No, not really. Most of the time beautification for me is making sure my outfit looks decent, my hair is brushed, and my teeth are clean. When I became a mommy I sorta forgot to take care of myself. I'm beginning to realize that it's important to take time for myself everyday, otherwise I lose my identity as a women not just as a mother.

Oh yes.I have since I was 13 and my mom let me start wearing make up.That got me interested in skin care and all the other girlie stuff.Before then I was a real tomboy.Now,I can't imagine a morning without doing my 'routine' and putting my make up on.;-)

Amazing, even as adults we crave routine and familiarity (sp). Yes, I to have a morning routine and if I am thrown off tract even the slightest it messes up my whole morning and I don't ever feel as if I am completely put together! I have to moisturize my face, light make-up, earrings, rings, necklace, watch, hosiery & heels. Hair has to be teased & sprayed into place. Last thing I do before walking out the door is spritz on perfume or body spray. Wow, no wonder I am exhausted going to work. *lol*

Just the basics. Shower and shampoo. I have long hair, so it is just straight most of the time. I only wear lipstick. Do you take the time?

Whats wrong with just the basics. Most men don't want a woman who is high maintanence! I shower & shampoo daily. Moisterize face before bed, & minimal make-up during the day.

I take a little time every day but not lots of it. Mainly it is just having a shower, deodorant, washing my hair if needed, cleaning my teeth, putting on some hand and face cream and oh brushing my hair as well. If we are going out anywhere, then I will do a little more but not too much as a general rule. Take me as I am or leave me alone is my thinking. :)

Sadly I don't have the time to beautify myself everyday. I do take time to pamper myself now and again, but if I get a shower everyday then I'm lucky!

I am so lazy about make-up, etc... When my hair is super short, I do take time to spike it, but I am growing it out, so I just put on a headband.
