[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you people have time for all this upkeep?  I work FT and hardly have time for a pedicure, highlights and a haircut every 3 months. [/quote]

+1.  I work FT, have a Ph.D. in an area I'm passionate about, and am a parent of a young kid and we have no family in the area.  I'm pretty low maintenance.  Sure appearance has some importance and I like to look nice sometimes, but it isn't central to my identity.  I've had a manicure twice ever.  Don't really wear lipstick that often.  Haircut about every 3 months.  Got very subtle highlights a couple months ago--first time in years.  Never wear other makeup, and never have.  Exercise is important, and I get regular exercise to stay healthy, but worrying about appearance is just not a priority.[/quote]

I also work FT and have a PhD in an area that I'm passionate about.  For me, self-care is a priority and I also find it great fun.  Exercise, clothing, and a comprehensive skin-care routine makes me feel great and confident.  Feeling great then supports my efforts as a mom and employee.  How do I have time for this "upkeep"?  I make time- even if I have to wake up very early or work late into the night.  It's worth it to me.[/quote]
