Nothing speeds up the downward spiral of
motivation like feeling frumpy does. A
missed week of shaving your legs, wearing your comfy knickers and eating more
crappy foods is the road that leads to nowhere chic.
So, to turn this around, I re-commit to
every second day doing a quick shave of my legs in the shower, weeding out my
lingerie drawer and enjoy wearing my nice knickers, and cutting out the treat
foods that sometimes sneak in during the week (I try and reserve treat foods
for weekends for the most part).
Almost straight away you feel better. Smooth moisturised legs and nice underwear is
instant, and it only takes a few days of eating better again to feel more
vibrant (even if your weight hasn’t changed much yet, your body is so happy
with the nutrition). And your
significant other will probably notice and appreciate your happiness.
Play music that makes you want to move your
body. Gotan Project, flamenco/Latin
guitar type sounds, even Pharrell Williams.
There are so many good songs that make you feel like moving, make you
feel a little sexy. Perhaps it’s time
for a new playlist? Put it on when you
get home from work while you’re straightening things up and getting dinner
ready. It’s far better than the (bad)
news.
Sexy up your home clothes. I have two very fine merino jumpers where the
V-neck is just that little bit too low for work. I would wear them with a scarf to not scare
the customers, but have decided to put them in my home clothes drawer instead
of my work clothes drawer. Now paired
with some nice new clingy leggings as chic lounge wear, ooh la la, no scarf
required. I am that sexy and sophisticated French lady of my dreams, at home
with her love!
Wearing the loveliest underwear and loungewear is a truly chic habit. You can be sexy alone, you can be sexy if you are plump or thin as long as you consider yourself worth the effort. Bon Week-end!233
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you on all the points you made. When i shave my legs consistently, wear nice lingerie and eat healthier, i feel much better about myself. And in turn, i approach life with a better perspective and my days flow better.
ReplyDeleteNow, i am off to shave my legs and clear out my pantry

The frumpy downward spiral . . . haha, yes that can happen so easily. You're right though, just a little attention to the details goes a long ways. I keep waiting to lose a little more weight before getting myself some nicer undies (knickers); maybe I shouldn't wait! Have a lovely weekend, Fiona.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteI just love your suggestions. Have implemented them and can see the difference.
ReplyDeleteSexy at any size gets my applause!
ReplyDeleteI love lacy lingerie and it needn't cost the earth...la Perla is a bit out of my budget.
I love your ooh la la attitude and those plunging necklines with leggings soft skin and no stubble are a recipe for romance. Enjoy your weekend!

Hostess, I've never had any La Perla either. In Hawaii I bought some lovely knickers for not much at the Ross discount store. I'm a thrifty girl.
ReplyDeleteI love this post!
ReplyDeleteAttention to grooming is really my barometer of how well I'm caring for myself.
ReplyDeleteI don't allow myself to buy anything frumpy. It is priority on my criteria when shopping for clothes. This idea is akin to not letting any unhealthy foods into the house. If it isn't there in the first place, it can't be used!
