Stay at home wives, mothers? fix up?

[Choclatcotton]

As a stay at home wife and student, I sometimes have a struggle fixing up every day, doing hair, clothes etc. I just feel a bit lazy sometimes. I do my hair and go kinda sloppy casual. Any advice? in the day time, then what? WHat do other stay at homers do? Do you fix up? put on make up? or wear sweats every day?

I do make up everyday. If I am lounging...its usually yoga pants, and a tee. I do my hair everyday, or a very neat ponytail, but its combed everyday.

Its just part of my nature.

I don't wear sweats unless I'm working out. I find it easier to look nice always if you create a uniform for yourself that looks good on you, a sort of go to outfit. For me it's jeans or black pants, fitted top, cardigan/sweater/jacket, cute flats. Nails and eyebrows done like clockwork. There were some threads about this I believe in the off topic section titled "that girl" or something like that.

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.

when i was home, i wore jeans and a cute top around the house. my hair was easy bc i have locs. my dh did/ does my pedi (he likes my feet lol) and i keep my nails short. other than that, i was busy with classes and homeschooling my dd. i also had a pair of everyday earrings...

Thanks ladies, youve challenged me.

Yes I wear tinted moisturizer, blush, and mascara everyday I leave the house. Even if it's just to drop the kids off at school or going to the post office. I don't really like jeans so I usually wear wrap dresses, shirt dresses, or loose short dress. I also LOVE leggings with a long shirt and heels or boots. If I'm around the house I wear leggings with no makeup and I keep my hair down with a cute headband or in a neat high ponytail. I always have on earrings, even if I am at home doing nothing. I keep my nails and toes polished and groomed.
