[quote=Anonymous]Great for you for maintaining your health and weight!

Hair-I'd work on hair because you spend the most lines writing about it. I think I'd pick a colour in a box and do it myself. That buys you time (I can't imagine having ANY type of appt last 3 hrs). A lot of people  used boxed colour (look how big the store shelves are)...  I'd also style it at night and just touch it up in the morning.

Clothes- buy nice anchor items over time. Have a hot list of what you need to buy, and hit up a Ross or TJ Max or Target to get it (cheapest/no one bothers you/easiest to get in and out fast).

Makeup- Spend 5 minutes in the bathroom or office at work when you arrive doing your makeup or do it in the car once you are parked. It will make you feel so  much better, especially if a random photo ends up being needed. I always regret it if I don't wear lipstick for photos, though normally I forget to wear it- I make it a personal rule to just put it on for a photo or I look dead. The more you do your makeup, the faster you get. I do brows, lashes, liner and shadow and blush in 2-5 mins. It's an easy thing to do that helps camouflage and highlight.

On that note: your nose- interested in fixing it? If so, do you need a chin implant as well to even out other larger features (eyes/cheeks/brows)? Make a savings account/interview drs if so.  If not, please stop calling yourself harsh, ugly, unflattering. Bad hair only accentuates features so again, please focus on the hair for now and the 5 minutes of makeup. Commit to this for a few months, then revisit surgery if you are still interested. but don't do nothing, then keep hating on your appearance.

Random things you didn't mention- how are your teeth? could you use a home whitening? Easy and cheap. Either way, if you are pale especially, lipstick improves so much. How are your brows? If they are very full/thick, have them professionally done- it improves your other features and lifts your face like surgery. How is your skin? If it's pale, who cares, add blush. If it's scarred by acne, add some foundation to your moisturizer so the coverage doesn't looks so thick. Basically, if there is a feature you didn't mention here, it is probably beautiful to someone.

In general- don't screw yourself. If your kids see you putting yourself last all the time they may grow up feeling that way about themselves. Put on a kids movie or show once in a while and buy some time to focus on yourself. Self-grooming is a part of a healthy sense of self and mental health.
