I feel so unsexy lately
Autumn_bride2b

I've had a few long weeks at work with not much sleep, so my face looks worn and my dark circles are worse, plus I just totally don't care what I do with my hair on the weekends lately. I just feel blah. Other than a spa trip, which is not in the budget right now, any suggestions for making myself feel less icky?

Re: I feel so unsexy lately
Get all done up...make up, hair and an outfit you feel at least pretty in and go out for a nice dinner (brunch, lunch etc.)
I know it sounds sucky, but it always helps me. Tomrrow DH and I are going out for brunch
Me too! I actually apologize to DS for turning into such an ogre.
On Thursday, I got a sally hansen wax-strip kit and took care of my eyebrows by myself which made me feel sooo much better. I got a de-puffing eye gel which I'm not sure if it's really working or not, but oh well, and I flat ironed my hair for the first time in months. Oh, and my toenails were sooo chipped I hadn't done anything to them since we went to a wedding in early Sept, so I painted them. I felt soo much better and we had "special time" that night!
Just do the little primping things you may have let slide, it doesn't have to cost much! I've been sooo tired and just haven't cared lately, but enough was enough and I took an hour or so to do those things. I felt like myself again.
When I'm feeling this way I usually take a nice bubbly bath with some candles around the tub.. then when I get out I use some sexy lotion (victoria secret or something) then I actually do my hair.. even if its 9:30 at night and I'm going no-where.. It makes me feel better to do it!! I may use a at-home facial (a spa day isn't in our budget either.. I wish!) and maybe have some fun with DH?! I hope this helps!!
Just remember.. You are so much more beautiful that you are making a baby! I know it may not feel like it.. but thousands of women would love to feel "un-sexy" to be carrying a child!!
Oh, good idea, maybe I will see if I can get a pedi tomorrow. And then get in a hot bath. :-)
Joanna--what eye gel did you get? I need some suggestions.
I got the Biore enliven cooling eye gel. It was 9.99 at the grocery store, probably cheaper at Walmart. It says it also helps with the dark circles, but so far it's only de-puffed, but I'll take it!
