How to get a makeover by Chantalle Draycott

"If you get new make-up, new hair, and new nails, are you a new girl?"

How I did it: No, you're not... but it will make you feel like one. About a month ago, I realized that I had really let myself go since moving in with my boyfriend. My eyebrows were gnarly, My hair was raggedy and I was constantly hiding my hands because I had been biting my nails so much. I decided that I needed to get a makeover. Not for my boyfriend or my work, but for myself so that I felt a little bit better about myself.

I went out, spent some money at Sephora on new make-up. I got a hair cut and got a mani-pedi with a new set of nails. I got a new (expensive) hair straightener to keep myself looking good and I cleaned my bathroom, the source of all beauty.

When you look good, you feel good. Giving yourself a weekend and getting to the spa will not only make you look good on the outside, it'll make you feel great on the inside.

Treat yourself! You totally deserve it. And remember, no one can love you as much as you should love yourself ^_~!

Lessons & tips: Save up some money for it. I pretty much put everything on my credit card and I know I'm going to have to hide it for a month before I can put anything else on it.

It took me

Different.

How I did it: I wanted to be more 'grown up', so I went through my clothes and got rid of things that looked little kiddish. Slowly, over the past couple years, I have been buying new clothes, make-up, and shoes to reflect my decision of looking more mature. What is weird is I act differently. Something about what you wear reflects how you feel.Dressing more mature made me act more mature.I think, something changes when one makes a decision to look a c… Read how I did it…

    violentwife is going to be alright.

    What's funny is... 4 weeks ago

    When I glam up. I think Im a pretty good looking lady.

    But in my line of work its rather stupid to get all prettied up only for kids to puke or spill paint or mustard all over you. I dont even wear nice clothes to work for the very same reason.

    But I think more attention can be paid.

    a facial, mani/pedi and maybe a haircut will probably help.

    If not. then its a start right?

    Growing out my hair, getting a personal trainer, working out & working on my spirituality are all part of the makeover. . . So I’m still working this issue.

    i am not one to ask for things from others, i would rather rough it out on my own then turn for a helping hand. for a while now my moms has been refusing to let me get my “dork glasses” aka the buddy holly frames ive wanted for a couple years now
    my grandfather over heard me talking about them, and they are going to arrive at my house in 3-5 days!
    unfortuantely i wont get to wear them until july (damn overbooked eyedoctor) but the fact that i will get to wear makes me so freaking excited!!!!
    little by little i will become the person ive wanted to be

    for my brother.... 11 months ago

    I am doing this in very little 0.001 doses. I want to do it all together for it to be a “MAKEOVER”. His birthday is in 25 days, so maybe that will be a good time. He will least expect it to see his room changed.

    hmmmm….but I should put a plan right away _

    Cheer me!!

    Umm... I guess my only fear is judgement. 14 months ago

    When it comes to this, at least. My senior formal is at the end of the year (equivalent to prom). Figured I’d do it for that. But for now, I’m too busy studying.
