I had three goals for today:
- Wake up and get out of bed before noon
- Put on makeup and a proper outfit, as in not sweatpants/robe/birthday suit
- Leave the house
I know, all of that sounds like almost impossible to complete but I do set the bar quite high for myself. I'm happy to report that it's almost 2pm and I have all my goals completed, whoosh, I'm so proud of myself!
I've been feeling like shit about my appearance for weeks and it doesn't help if I have my hair in a messy bun, wear ugly clothing and can't be bothered to put on makeup. So as I set my goals for myself yesterday, I did it solely to cheer myself up. I was gonna go for something natural but then I remembered that red lipstick always makes me feel fabulous and I don't wear it as often as I should. I used to wear bright lipstick several times in a week but then I became lazy.
Somehow I woke up around 7am this morning, chatted with an old friend, lounged around in bed for a couple hours, and then finally pulled myself together. Put on makeup, took these pictures, switched to jeans and a t-shirt outfit (like always), and headed out with my laptop.
I feel like such a basic little millennial as I'm sitting in a cafe, writing, answering to comments and editing my self-portraits. I'm little out of my comfort zone but trying to up my I don't give a fuck -game and not care that someone might be lurking over my shoulder, seeing me brush away the plague on my face. I'm not even sitting with my back against the wall, which I always try to do, so that nobody can sneak up behind me.
I'm actually kinda liking this thing. I have my headphones on, I'm in my own little bubble and because very few people interest me, I feel like there isn't any distractions in here. I have gotten a lot done because I'm working against my laptop running out of battery and I'm trying to get most of my editing work done for today in here. I have no idea what I'm gonna do for the rest of the day but I'm sure I'll figure a way to waste my precious time on something useless like Netflix and eating snacks.
I think I might get used to this.
ps. I've been drinking the same huge latte for over two hours, I think it's time to leave and go hunt for some food.
You always look good - Red lipstick suits you though, I think I need to have a day where I actually get out and dress up a bit to make myself feel better too!

Thank you V! :) I would guess you are stuck at home behind a computer quite often too and don't feel like it would be any use to put on makeup and dress up, but it feels so good to do so every once in a while!

Yup pretty much! At least it must be good for the skin not wearing much make up everyday!!

I’ve missed your gorgeousness lately. Sunsets and weeds are fine, but these types of posts are my favorite in your blog. 🙌🏽😊
I can get lazy and live in messy buns and yoga pants with no makeup for days too, but it helps that I cohabitate with a man who adores me and likes to see me wear the nice clothes and shoes that He generously affords me. So I gussy it up most days in gratitude and adoration back at him.
Hugs and kisses 😘

Oh, and I’m very impressed/proud of you for writing and editing your post and pics at the coffee shop even without your back against the wall! That is a challenge for me too...being open, live, in public. Go girl 💪🏾

Aww, thank you love! I'll be sure to take more selfies in the near future. I usually do those when I'm in the city (aka now), and nature things when in the countryside. I find that I am more free to play with myself (pun intended) in here, than in the countryside where I have family living in the same house and can walk in on me at any moment.
It must be very motivating to have someone kiss your ass when you dress up, a huge bonus for the self confidence 😉
It was actually really nice to work in a cafe, but if I had a day where I was feeling bad about myself, it would be hell. Gladly I was feeling myself today, and even locked eyes with a major hottie, so that was a plus for this "workday" 😝

My gawd, you still matched the velvet robe with the “non slob” outfit perfectly - I might actually invest in like an old smoking jacket gown type deal because I just seem to be living in this cheapy one 24/7 and don’t worry we’re all millennial slobs here 😉

YES, go all Hugh Hefner and pick up a red one!! I have a silk night gown shirt thingy, that makes me feel like a pimp every time I wear it, which is not often enough! I am trying to get rid of wearing sweats and go more for the old Hollywood type of gowns and silk robes, feels just as nice but looks more put together.

Eveporn is here already? well that was quick.
"Put on makeup and a proper outfit, as in not sweatpants/robe/birthday suit"
at home I am often half naked and if I go somewhere I tend to wear casual. So my best clothes rarely gets to see any daylight. I guess taking photos is good enough reason to wear something. No point in waiting for the right moment/ opportunity/ event.

I really, truly ADMIRE how honest your posts are. I need more of you in my life. I just made a contest, completely inspired by you. I think you should give it an enter ;-) might make you feel that extrrrraaaa bit better about yourself today - although it sounds like you've nailed today.

Eve, you clean up nice!
I feel a little guilty replying to this in a bath robe drinking home made coffee in my quiet home. (but not too guilty, I like this mode in the morning. And ya... "morning" being when I get up... not so relevant to what point the sun happens to be at. :O )
But now, partly by your influence, I'm going to shower, get out and do some shopping I've put off and go for a long walk. (I usually do every day... but skipped yesterday and DON'T WANT TO today! Lol)
Thank you for opening this discussion. I was beating myself up a little for being so lazy / avoidant. But it's sounding like "to sloth is to be human". ;)
I'll still kick my but and get on track, but I feel a little "less bad" about sliding, now and then, thanks to you and the commenters on your blog.

Thank you! 😁 It help when one is a sloth most of the time, the effect is much greater those times when I do try a little.
Now you are making me feel bad about my slothness today because I’m only waking up (almost noon) and I’m so out of it. Slept really good but I feel like my body is still asleep. I was planning on working from home today, maybe in half sloth mode. But I am happy if I inspired someone to go out, even when I don’t donit myself that often 😝
Oh, the doorbell just rang and I had to hurry to put on some clothes, now I am fully awake 😅

Anything that boosts our self esteem is indeed good. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I really do, but you do not need a spec of makeup to look fabulous. You are stunningly beautiful. Now take that nice little ball of ego sugar and throw it in your latte.

I don't think it's bad for the skin to not use makeup for a few days. But what do I know. I'm a 21th century common man and not an 18th century nobleman.

Haha, yeah it never hurts, but basically skin problems are mostly caused by internal things, and there is only very little that external things can effect on it. Genetics play the biggest part, diet and stress come second.
