I thi...Maggie I just have to comment on this post. I think we could talk about it forever, don't you? This is my passion and my profession and I feel very strongly about women caring for themselves. You are absolutely correct when you note that you must do this for yourself! It won't work otherwise! Self-esteem is indeed internally derived but I look at it this way: you are making an investment in you! Aren't you worth it? When women do things for themselves it not only nurtures them but sends the message that "hey, I am worth it." It's not about how much you weigh,what color your hair is etc... it's about what you want and how you present it. I know that I always feel better when I know I took the time to do what's important to me. For me, that's wearing makeup and yes I too have a foot wear issue, ha! But it doesn't have to cost a lot of money either. I like your idea of having your friend teach you some makeup techniques. Plus, there's oodles of info on the internet about makeup application. Visit your local walmart for some makeup that doesn't break the bank. Nothings wrong with coloring your own hair because I know how expensive that is at the salon! Maybe a friend can help you apply highlights. There are kits out there to do that. Also, you don't have to spend tons of money on clothes just buy basic, classic pieces that will last forever and add a few trendy/seasonal items to them. Also, a cheap way to enhance any look is to buy some cheap accessories like purses, bracelets etc... that add that pop of color and interest to any outfit. I am sorry this post is so long but like I said, I am passionate about women's issues, particularly how they see and feel about themselves. So, I say go for it and do what YOU want for you! Invest in yourself! <br /><br />Big, big hugs!<br />JacalynJacalyn @ rmebathproducts.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270508616622379706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-75541217106312372132010-07-07T06:47:23.269-04:002010-07-07T06:47:23.269-04:00Hhhmmmmm I'm a plain Jane too - well, basing o...Hhhmmmmm I'm a plain Jane too - well, basing on how you describe it. I think I look decent enough LOL Though, I guess there will be times were I also want to be a little more than decent. Not often though.<br /><br />I'm all for the inner beauty - hands down. Then again, it's a case to case basis just like how you described those little girls. But I guess there's nothing wrong about it. If it helps start . . . develop self esteem on those young girls, then why not. Just as long as they don't forget the most important thing - - - the beauty that doesn't fade away. :-)<br /><br />Now, I hope you'll have fun doing all your plans. Hey, we do deserve to be pampered at times :-)<br /><br />Mizpah,<br />LiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-83168765487585463132010-07-06T16:31:54.325-04:002010-07-06T16:31:54.325-04:00Shan- when I lived in Northern Civ.

I tried to stay on my game in the Wild West but I was always too dressed up there, so I feel ya. Sometimes, tho, ya need to look good for ourselves ya know?<br /><br />And I think the health/ wellness is certainly a part of it. Again, it's easier to become more "beautified" rather than healthy. the weight will come off, but just more slowly...<br /><br />Curley- I don't think I could simper if I tried LOL!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283944377017377125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-76220120692505218292010-07-06T14:30:28.400-04:002010-07-06T14:30:28.400-04:00So many thoughts running through my head.

And lastly, The reason men (not people) idolize the likes of Marilyn Monroe or Megan Fox is because they don't look past the big chest and the fact that these bubble headed women simper around them.Curleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670892568607136493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-7205216875457229512010-07-06T13:39:01.335-04:002010-07-06T13:39:01.335-04:00Interesting post Maggie.

I went through a really slobbish time after I moved to this small town because I was tired of the expectations of clothes and makeup in the "big city" life. But my self esteem did suffer when I wasn't fixing myself up at all. <br />I've decided there must be a happy medium there and am trying to look a little nicer for myself when I go out so I can in fact hold my head higher.<br />I like that you are considering this for yourself and not to obtain a man's attention but it is nice for them too as they can be more visually stimulated in general. baha<br />I think healthy is a better goal than manicured. It's nice to focus on wellness in the beauty process. Shall we exercise a little to get some pink in the cheeks, circulation and muscle definition? I hope to get back in THAT habit soon. <br />(p.s. Tanning creme is my secret delight on the legs. It's all in the application. )Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018721209690768151noreply@blogger.com
