When I was 20, I spent over an hour every day doing my hair, then I discovered there was more to life than hot rollers.
My hair isn't grey yet even though I am an old fart of 40. :D No need to dye here.
I never did paint my nails and I hate to have anyone touch my feet.
Actually, I think I am more aware of bodily odors now. I brush my teeth and use deodorant more. I was a once a day gal on the ole teeth, now, I brush 3 or sometimes 4 times a day. :eek: I like my smile bright and shining. :D
Now, that I have a dd, I am hyperaware of manners and mannerisms. I haven't bitten my nails in almost three years! Woo hoo! :o I don't want my dd to pick up my bad habits, so I've been slowly trying to get rid of them.
As for perfume, well, I'm extremelly allergic to it.
I'm with you Katesmom..I hate perfume!
Hate it on me.....hate it on others.....
O's mom.
Me three!!! It feels so wrong to be breathing it in or putting it on your skin :eek:
Yep, yep...yep! Even when DH has aftershave or whatever on....its so disgusting!
O's mom.
I got my hair coloured and cut for the first time since Aoife was born yesterday and and it certainly needed it. I was getting as grey as a badger.
I am definitely going to have a facial sometime over the Xmas period but generally no, I don't bother most of the time. Usually look like the wreck of the hesperus.
No waxing, rarely think to put on perfume, I do however use deodorant.....
Uh-huh, hate it...my poor family...they get excited if I ever buy a product lol! I finally found an affordable natural shampoo the other day and DH was soooooo excited about not using bicarb and eggs once again :o

Do you still care whether you roots are dyed regularly? Yes, because DH thinks I'm naturally a blonde LOL :eek: and I don't want to shatter him!
Do you still paint your fingernails and or toenails? I bite my fingernails so there's no need to, and as for my toenails I painted them when we went to Queensland for a holiday in May this year (I think there's a little of the varnish still left!)
Do you get regular facials? I have had one facial in my whole life and that was this year as a birthday present.
Still go for waxing? I have never been to anyone for waxing (other than eyebrows) I couldn't let anyone do my bikini line - I wouldn't have enough money to tip them
Wear perfume? I wear perfume every day - True love (it reminds me of my wedding day - awww shuks!)
Deodorant?? After chasing two boys around all day I'd tend to get a bit whiffy if I didn't!!!

I try to still look like a natural blonde too. ;)
I gave up on the fingernails after my dd was born. Although I did try but it only looked good for a day.Then I didn't have time to take it off so had that half on half off look.Highly attractive.
I don't bother much with perfume either.I saw on Today Tonight that cheap perfume was made out of goats pee so it kind of put me off. :eek:

Oh, ok KB, I'll believe you this time :p Only cause I know you ! ;)
Do you still care whether you roots are dyed regularly?
* I have my hair dyed every 8-10weeks purely to cover the greys!!
Do you still paint your fingernails and or toenails?
* Fingernails, not really, only occasionally. Toenails, mainly when I am going out as they do tend to last a bit longer than painted fingernails.
Do you get regular facials?
* Not regular, only for special occasions - the last one was for my sister's wedding in April this year.
Still go for waxing?
* Braz. - yes, I'm a convertee after initially having it done when DS1 was born because I knew I would be bleeding for 6weeks without being able to use tampons :eek:
For my legs and underarms I do these at home using the phillips equivelant of epilady.
Wear perfume?
* Yes, but not daily and it has to be the fair dinkum stuff, none of this cheap crap for me! (atm, Daytime fragrance - clinique happy or shiseido relaxation, nighttime - angel)
Deodorant??
* Yes definately, all that running around after 3 boys (DH is the 3rd) I need to. Have tried crystal stuff, but it just doesn't cut it!!
Do you still care now that your married with 2.5 kids and a dog?
* Yes, I do it for myself mainly, just to feel a bit better about being a daggy SAHM!
What I mean by that is when (on the odd occasion) I do go out, I like to feel good about myself IYKWIM.
