I shower every day and I make sure I at least wear a bra and change out of my pajama shirt. I only wear makeup when we go somewhere. I don't like wasting my makeup if I'm staying home all day. Oh and I wear yoga pants when I'm home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-612030 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:06:52 +0000 autumnlove 612030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now...3 or 4? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-612023 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:05:26 +0000 bunnylove08 612023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1? I dont do much for DH but if you ask about my friends it would be like a 7 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-612012 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:03:31 +0000 Arden 612012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um... a three? But I'm 38 weeks pregnant, so I think that isn't too bad. At some point it'll get better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-612007 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:03:15 +0000 Alivoo01 612007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say about a 5? Hubby is all about being comfy (aka lounge pants and a hoodie) so my jeans and nice shirt is like REALLY nice. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611997 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:01:03 +0000 MrsStar 611997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say 4 - Lo is 5 months old and I make an effort each day to get dressed and look presentable but mainly just to feel better about myself. I generally choose to wear clothes that dh likes - the days of wearing trackies and oversized tshirts have long gone! I try to make an effort for him. If we go out then I try to do hair, makeup and nice clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611989 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:59:42 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 611989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a little makeup everyday when I work (so it's not really for him) and if we go out on a date I'll try to dress up a little and do my hair and makeup. I also do it for me, but he gets the benefit of not having to look at a slob, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611944 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:49:41 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 611944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will preface this with: no kids and not pregnant soo..</p> <p>I get ready with shower and blowdry every day, and full face of make up. Sometimes on Sunday I don't wash my hair.</p> <p>I do it for myself and for DH.. so I guess an 8-9? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611918 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:44:34 +0000 Dandelion 611918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing great, up until the 3rd trimester. Unfortunately for dh, shaving has gone until LO arrives. I don't *feel* like I could make myself anymore presentable at this point, being at 38 weeks. I've given up lately. </p> <p>But, hopefully after LO arrives and we have time to adjust, I'll go back to trying to impress him, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611909 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:42:55 +0000 littlek 611909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say an 8. I wear makeup and do my hair everyday. However, I change out of my work clothes and are wearing workout clothes by time DH gets home from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611903 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:42:00 +0000 Boogs 611903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. I shower most days and maybe once a week put on makeup. If I could have someone pick out nice clothes for me I would dress nicer more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611902 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:41:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 611902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get ready every day so I would say a 8, knocking a couple poinsts off because as soon as I get home from work I wash my face, put on the yoga pants, and veg out...usually before DH gets home. Whenever we go out together I get all dressed up, I enjoy it, but when I'm home I'm 100% comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611891 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:39:47 +0000 mrbee 611891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Wow, 7 showers a week... I'm impressed!</p> <p>+1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611887 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:38:30 +0000 Rubies 611887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I do, I do! My 1 point is 100% legit, yo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611884 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:36:43 +0000 mrbee 611884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Showering shouldn't be a point haha!</p> <p>Or if it is, you have to shower every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611882 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:35:43 +0000 Rubies 611882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero effort, whatsoever. Well, 1, I guess, because I shower, too. My mom is genuinely concerned that DH will leave me because I don't try. LOL! Luckily, DH doesn't care...I think. Eeeps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-611875 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:34:15 +0000 sarac 611875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a lot of effort but purely for me. My husband totally doesn't care, while I'm into fashion and stuff. I wish he'd notice mu appearance more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610866 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:26:01 +0000 MarieJ 610866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was on maternity leave, hmm, a 1. I was so busy with LO that I was doing good if I showered. I would wear pjs, sweats and big tshirts. </p> <p>Now that I'm back at work and into the swing of things, an 8. I dress up, do my makeup, and my hair. I'm on a roll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610864 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:25:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 610864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @blackbird, I do me for me; not really for my husband. I do my hair and wear makeup every day, even on weekends when we don’t go anywhere (although then it’s only foundation and a messy bun, versus more makeup and more polished hair for workdays). I do wear yoga pants and t-shirts around the house but they are clean and fit well, not super frumpy clothes or stained, etc.</p> <p>If he’s taking me out for a nice dinner or something I always put more effort into looking nice.</p> <p>When I look better, I feel better about myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610845 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:17:09 +0000 Boheme 610845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to wear a little makeup every day - concealer, powder, tinted chapstick, and mascara - but that's me for me than anyone else. If we're going on a date I will wear something nice and fix my hair, and generally put in a little more effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610839 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:15:01 +0000 Modern Daisy 610839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do make some effort, but LO isn't here yet so who knows how it will change! I shower, wear makeup and blowdry my hair every day. When we're at home together I do put on lounging clothes, but they consist of nice jeans and tops I would also wear outside of the house. Dh is really good about complimenting me and he also pretends like he doesn't notice all teh pregnancy weight I am gaining :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610830 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:13:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 610830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, maybe a 5. I don't always shave my legs, but I do wear clothes that he thinks look good most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610818 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:10:44 +0000 Cherrybee 610818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a special effort for him if he takes me somewhere.....! Nice outfit, full face of make up, nicely styled hair.... I usually sulk, too, because he doesn't complient me after I went to all that effort!!! But if we're just chilling at home, I won't go out of my way to "look good" for him - as long as I'm clean and tidy I feel okay.</p> <p>I'm giving myself a 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610735 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:52:54 +0000 blackbird 610735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, i don't put effort into looking good FOR HIM, i do it for myself. But I take care of myself and wear makeup regularly, work out, and wear casual but comfy/cute stuff when we go out to dinner (like a cotton dress or something). I take pride in how I look and I know he appreciates it. I'm hoping I don't become frumpy now that I'm having kids, haha. </p> <p>Even if I do super casual--yoga pants, t-shirt, headband, my headband is cute and I still look put together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610700 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:45:43 +0000 Bao 610700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wear make up either, unless we are going to an event of some sort, or getting family photos. I try and get dressed in nice clothes but that doesn't always happen. Yoga pants usually win over. I always try and do my hair everyday. I am actually working on this overall, to try and feel more like me even though I am a mom. So on a scale 1-10, probably a 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-effort-do-you-put-into-looking-good-for-your-so#post-610691 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:43:59 +0000 Mrs. Bee 610691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On a scale of 1-10, I'll say a 1... because I shower. Sadly I don't do much else like dress up, put on makeup... hopefully I'll get better as the weather warms up and life becomes less of a juggle as the kids get older. I never wear makeup anymore, not even to see my friends.</p> <p>How much effort do you put into looking good for your SO? It doesn't count if you dress up when you see your friends! </p>
