I barely manage to make myself look human for a grocery store trip. I like the aesthetics of certain bracelets or rings I have but I don't really wear them. I like certain makeup looks but without a reason I don't put any on. I'd like to, but the effort to benefit ratio isn't there for me. Unless I'm meeting people I care about, I just do the bare minimum to look like a hygienic person.

Tell me your secrets.

well, i make it convenient for me to apply makeup, do my hair, etc. by carrying around the needed things in my purse. i don't commit myself to glamming up per se, but if i have even a little time, i find being able to see myself in the mirror and be pretty looking helps my mood so much.

i've also grown accustomed to using my purse even when i have pockets, always putting my cell and keys in it; the benefit is i don't need to think as much when grabbing other stuff like makeup, even when i'm stressed!

yes! I don't carry all my makeup tools in my purse (no room for a lash curler, mascara, foundation, etc.) but I also carry a small cosmetic bag with a small mirror, some tinted lip balm, and maybe a small tube of concealer for touch ups while I'm out (if needed).

purses are wonderful!
