[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes feel seriously exhausted with all the work it takes for me to look half decent. DH insists I &quot;look good&quot; without makeup and in sweatpants but I don't feel that way. I get regular manicures and pedicures, facial hair removal, color my hair, keep my weight below a certain threshold, invest in a good wardrobe. On top of that I do skin treatments and have a good skincare regimen. I style my hair on a daily basis and wear makeup every single day day.

I wish I could be a low maintenance woman, but I don't believe I have the natural beauty to pull this off. I hate that I feel uncomfortable in jeans and a ponytail. Even when I am put together, it never feels good enough.[/quote]

First of all, I'm sure that your husband appreciates the work that you do to look the way you want to look. I also think it's great that he likes the way you look without that stuff. It sounds like you've got a good man there!

For my part, I color my hair. I cut it in a way that is flattering to my face shape. I wear clothing that are flattering to my body and do my best to keep my body toned and fit. On a daily basis, I style my hair and wear makeup. My hair styling routine is fairly simple and mostly an every-other-day thing, and my makeup routine takes &lt;10 minutes start to finish.

I think it's totally possible to look polished in jeans and a ponytail - if they are the right jeans and the ponytail is accompanied by an otherwise polished look. You could simplify your makeup routine, too, but really, you just wear what you feel like you need to wear to feel good.[/quote]
