I work from home often so it's hard to "get ready" on my at home office days. I have noticed though, that I am much more productive with work and then around the house on days that I get ready or start the day off with a workout! It's hard to get motivated to do it in the moment though.
-
lolzno.
-
I get dressed and put on makeup every day, and I"m a SAHM
Makes me feel much more "myself" and productive with our day.
-
I do when I work or am going out. But i'm working from home for the next couple weeks and I am one hot mess today. Dirty ass hair, the shorts and shirt I slept in, a sweatshirt, and no makeup.
My give a shit is broken at this point.
-
I treat every day the same, whether it is a weekend or weekday, it's just the order of events that changes. I find that the longer I lounge around in my bathrobe, the more time that passes and I end up not wanting to do anything.
-
@looch: oh man that's my favorite part of a lazy weekend. Sipping coffee in my bathrobe and fuzzy slippers like Maxine
-
I am super low maintenance, so... I try to be ready at any point- for me that just means not too greasy of hair and a dress and leggings. I try to get out everyday for my mental health, even if it is just a walk to the store.
-
@blackbird: Mine too, but I can't stay too long, otherwise, the day escapes me! My son also finds the bathrobe, I don't know, offensive? He must think I look like a muppet.
-
@blackbird: you are so my favorite.
I do get ready every day because if I don't shower I am automatically in lazy mode and I can't afford that, even on days off or the weekends! The lowest maintenance I'll go is just powder foundation for makeup and a teeny bit of mascara, and eyebrows, but I can't go without those items if I'm going to leave the house at all. That being said, I have a wave perm so doing my hair consists of combing it damp and scrunching it with some oil. So that cuts down on the time!
-
@mrs. wagon: I need a lash card for lazy, just mascara days!!!
-
@mrsjyw: YES you do!!! game changer!!!
-
@mrs. wagon: Me too, the American Wave. Game changer for my hair getting ready time.
-
@looch: haha! they're kind of a weird thing. But my husband and I are both bathrobe people. Keeps me warm in the morning. Thankfully, a 2 year old does not give a shit.
@mrs. wagon: You just want my polka dot bathrobe.
But yeah, i totally understand the 'lazy start to the day=lazy day' mentality. But....too pregnant to care
When I'm on my A-game, i put gym clothes on right away. Puts me in the right mindset, even if it takes me a couple hours to get my butt out the door.
-
@blackbird: yes! I change into gym clothes, to make sure I hit the gym, 99% of the time it works
-
For at work days, I do tinted moisturizer, blush, eyeshadow with built in primer, mascara, and eyeliner. On WFH days, I don't do makeup at all. I'm getting too pregnant to care about anything that requires a lot of effort these days.
-
I do.....I'm a sahm and we try to get out everyday, even if it's just a walk around the neighborhood or I start going crazy! I don't think my neighbors would enjoy me walking around in my pjs
but also getting ready for me is usually yoga pants, tshirt, and ponytail so not much effort required!
-
@blackbird: heck yes I do! And I've SLEPT in running clothes and STILL not gone running in the morning. fail.
-
i put on makeup every--i have a low-key routine, but i feel more presentable. otherwise i look like i'm 18.
-
Nope! Sat we left the house, I had my glasses on and no make up. We ran errands and went to lunch and then after nap, R and I went shopping a little.
During the week I do since I am coming into the office. But if I am going to stay home, I don't wear makeup.
-
No way!!! That's the perk of work at home days - not having to spend time getting ready
-
Do you mean like full makeup or just like shower and clean clothes? I don't normally ever wear makeup during the day, but I've been making a big point of taking a shower and styling my hair and getting dressed every day (LO is three weeks old). I find it necessary!
-
Nope! I work out of the home, but the work environment is very casual. I'm showered, my clothes are clean, bare face, top knot.
I put on make up and do my hair for date night, family events, and church if I wake up on time.
If I am home I am in my PJ's. -
Yes, I'm a SAHM and get ready every day even if we don't have plans to go out. It does make you get into a productive mode right away! I do go out most days anyway and I don't want to look sloppy.
-
@mrsjyw: I 'get ready' when I leave the house, but if I'm going to be at home all day I don't.
I still shower everyday, but if I'm not going anywhere. House clothes go back on haha. -
I do, and I SAH 3/5 days. The only time I don't get ready as usual is if I'm headed straight to the gym.
-
nope! but definitely feel more productive on the days that i do! i try to change out of my jammies though because we typically do get out and do something and if i don't change, we're always late!
-
I WOH and sometimes I still don't really get ready
But my office is super casual and I never have to see clients or anything...
-
If I'm staying home, nope! Total comfort for me! If I do go out, I'll put my regular regimen of jeans and a shirt plus BB cream on my face then I'm ready to go.
-
I also WAH, but I shower and get dressed every day before starting the day (just casual clothes, but never sweats or PJs). I just recently started dabbling in a little bit of makeup (BB cream and eye makeup) and it definitely makes me feel more put together.
-
I shower every day. Sometimes I dry my hair, even more infrequently put on makeup and real clothes. But I have an 8 week old- so I feel pretty good about the showering part.
-
I try to! Today is our first day home with 2 under 2 (DD1 is 19 months, DD 2 is 4 days) and I'm dressed, my hair has been made presentable and my teeth are Brushed. No make up today though.
-
If by get ready you mean wash my face and brush my teeth, yes I do that every day! And if by "style my hair" you mean put it in a ponytail, yep, do that too!
I sah but we usually go out every morning, so I brush my teeth and put on clothes, but often that's yoga pants and a sweatshirt. I don't shower until her midday nap and then I usually put on comfy clothes too.
@blackbird: we are definitely a bathrobe family! Dh and I always drink our coffee in them and C even has her own little bathrobe. She loves them!
-
@youboots: showering every day with an 8 week old is definitely an accomplishment.
-
This thread makes me feel like such a slob hahaha. I pretty much never wear makeup unless I have a networking event or a night out.
-
Nope! I WAH mostly so I don't even shower till about lunch time. If I'm going somewhere (like to an appointment) I'll usually put on real clothes and maybe some concealer. If I'm staying home it's a yoga pants day for sure. I don't even put on mascara until I'm actually going to meet a client or coworker.
-
I definitely don't. I WAH twice a week and those days are usually hair-in-a-messy-bun, mascara-if-I'm-lucky kind of days. I'm usually juggling a million different things and don't even think about it. WOH days and weekends are fully hair and makeup days.
-
@plantains: natural beauty, my friend
Ok it's 2pm. i'm thinking it's time for a shower/change of clothes over here, LOL
-
@blackbird: Hahaha, exactly!
-
Nope. not lately. I used to, but since I have been pregnant i've just been way too tired. I usually get dressed but don't do my hair or makeup. I probably get "fully ready" 2-3x a week.
-
I wish I did, but there's no point. Pretty much every day starts with us at the gym (there's a daycare) or mommy and me swimming lessons. From there, I run an errand or 2 or go to the playground after the gym. If we have somewhere to go in the afternoon, I'll shower during nap time and do hair and makeup but that's only once a week. Afternoons are usually just going out for a walk with the dog or playing in the yard. I wish I looked more decent for DH when he gets home...but like I said - not much point these days!
Makes me feel much more "myself" and productive with our day.
But my office is super casual and I never have to see clients or anything...
