i am trying to get better with this. i like the idea of wearing a bun. this way, it 's an easy style and i can look decent around the house. i do a lot of my grooming at night when i shower.
but the thing is to have clean, cute, comfortable clothes handy (get five outfits that you can mix and match)
find a simple hairstyle to wear
you don't have to wear full face makeup, some mascara, gloss, blush, groomed (filled in) eyebrows or even a tinted moisturizer to even up your skin tone
a nice body spray or perfume
and take care of your grooming at night (shaving, nails, exfoliating, masking, eyebrows and chin hair removal)
make appointments for you mani/pedi like clockwork. i don't do that, but it works for some. i just do it when i have the money to do it, or i do it at home.
with all of this, you can be ready if someone comes to the house, or you need to make a run. also you can look decent for your man. men like for you to look like you care. you don't have to be glamour girl, but just look like you care.
