look my best every day

I have been keeping up well enough with this goal that the main thing left is the posture and improving the wardrobe. And since those are covered under other goals, I’m going to mark this one off as done.

I bought some new makeup yesterday, which prompted me to throw out most of my old makeup (which really needed to be done – I had not used most of it in a very long time!) I also got some cuticle balm and nail conditioner, which is working out pretty well already. I’ve decided to stop wearing nail polish. As in, I am finally going to get rid of all my nail polish and remover. In actuality, I have not worn nail polish for probably 9 months or so, but I am just admitting to myself that I’m not going to wear nail polish in the future. It is easer to admit when at least I’ve got some products to help take care of my nails.

If I actually use this new makeup on a regular basis, then I will almost be done with this goal. Just one more major obstacle: the posture.

My husband said I looked pretty good yesterday in my sundress and straw cowboy hat. Apparently the waiter at the coffee shop thought so, too. He brought me some free coffee cake to share with my girl friends :-)

What is it about a girl in a cowboy hat?

I have been doing very well at this lately. I think wearing contacts every day does a lot for my self-image.

• Obtained new contacts
• Obtained some tinted moisturizer (with SPF), light makeup, and SPF lotion and incorporated its use into my daily routine
• Updated my wardrobe, and
• Improved my posture.

Three of these things are actually other goals of mine on 43T. “Improve my posture” is something I’ve been struggling with for awhile (and I finally gave up on it) but I think I am ready to bring it back.

I guess I will be forced into wearing contacts every day for a few weeks, since I dropped off my glasses to get new lenses put in them. Also, I thought I had some backup glasses to wear at night after I take out my contacts, but turns out I got rid of those…

and also yesterday. Boy, I really need some new ones…

I’ve been pretty consistent about wearing a little bit of jewelry. I need to buy some new makeup, though, because the stuff I have now is just not inspiring.

but then I did end up wearing my contacts today. Also, I scrunched my hair with some mousse and am wearing jewelry. This is a little more effort than usual. Still no makeup, though.

I got my eyebrows waxed yesterday. I always forget how big of a difference it makes to my face. I’m pretty happy with the stylist I go to – I’ve seen her about 3 or 4 times now and she always does a great job.

I have also been wearing my contacts a lot more frequently, so I’m getting used to wearing them for longer hours. (Yay!) The prescription is getting pretty fuzzy, so I reeeally need to get new ones. But, that’s a story for another goal.

a lot more frequently lately and I even wore a cute headband today. I have been wearing jewelry when I have some that matches with my outfit, but I still need to get some more & different earrings. Also, I haven’t been wearing any makeup since I don’t like having to take it off at night.

Hair up and glasses on is not my best combination. Henceforth it is Not Allowed.

Today I am wearing my contacts! Right now my hair is up but will probably evolve to hair down. Unlike Kitty, glasses off and hair down is my best combination.
