being superficial

[_november4]

I've spent over three hours grooming myself, and I'm still not done. Shave legs (20 min), go running(1 hour), pluck eyebrows(10 minutes), brush teeth(5 minutes), shave armpits(2 minutes), wash/dry/flat iron hair(1 hour), scrub/exfoliate skin, including face making skin smooth and oil-free(30 minutes), oh, and let's not forget grooming the vagina.

I know how you feel. I got my first manicure over christmas and it felt completely vain and unnecessary. And then I saw my nails and actually loved the way they looked, and have now started giving myself manicures. It's okay to worry about your appearance. You're a girl. It's a compulsion with girls.

p.s. Personally I think you're gorgeous already, without the flat ironing and all that other stuff.

i know it's such an exhuasting compulsion.

thank you for your compliments tess! I appreciate them.

oh, if i added on getting a facial, manicure, and pedicure, oh god! My prepping time would exceed four hours.

You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make up
That man can make

I'm not saying I don't love myself. I'm saying this rountine of keeping up with beauty is exhausting.

infact, I think it's the exact opposite, in that if you don't take care of yourself it shows that you are incapable of loving yourself, which, in turn, makes you inapable of loving others.

i go weeks without shaving my legs and just wear panty hose when i wear skirts. and when my boyfriend bitches i go two more weeks. but i love make up and making my hair look perfect and picking out perfect outfits and if my weight gets over 127 i just blame it on water retention baby because it always goes away if i dont look at the scale.

also, it doesnt matter how pretty you are you're guy is still going to look at passing girls. and they almost always dont think you're the prettiest girl in the world but it doesnt mean they dont think you're beautiful. i just have happened to be fortunate enough to have a boyfriend who is disgustingly honest with me. in fact i hate him.

thank you for the chais
