It feels wonderful to feel pretty & feminine even if we're lounging at home.rrobulockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900947209899752557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-56805009924582736172020-03-27T10:34:31.863+13:002020-03-27T10:34:31.863+13:00Team Paul!

I was on my online women's group's call last week and the leader said she was glad to see my red lipstick still gleaming. Someone else said she bought flowers specifically for her shut-down, so she felt shinier. If I get dressed and put on earrings and lipstick, I feel like me and not some poor miserable bundle of stress.

I also try to get out and drive around a bit so I can feel like I have a little freedom (although it's nice today and a walk around the block is in for today). I'm wearing my comfy jeans and leggings during this time - but I do put on a nice top and now earrings and a bit of makeup to perk myself up.<br />Donna Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343698929719811062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-53963062273456624722020-03-27T04:46:39.963+13:002020-03-27T04:46:39.963+13:00I am getting up and dressed like a normal day, her...I am getting up and dressed like a normal day, here in Texas. I wear minimal makeup anyway, so my 5 minute routine just makes me feel like I'm ready for the day. I have tried to amp up my legging type wardrobe and throw on some of my more comfy jeans (with elastic waist), just so I would feel better. I'm getting out every few days to grab a coffee through a drive-thru, and take my time driving around just so I can feel like I've been somewhere. <br /><br />Today I'm working on my book, reading Module 5 of your writing course and doing cleaning in between, which keeps my mind from getting too groggy.<br /><br />I'm loving these daily posts, Fiona!

I'm teaching at a university, remotely, and that's taking most of my time. I have to get dressed presentably for ZOOM conferences with my classes. That's a good thing.KPDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950770602846517843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-80571619604276490782020-03-26T14:23:13.610+13:002020-03-26T14:23:13.610+13:00I have been using our lockdown to flaunt much brig...I have been using our lockdown to flaunt much brighter makeup colors than I would normally feel comfortable leaving the house in. I feel like I'm still making the effort, that I'm using up the colors in a set that would normally go to waste, and my kids get a kick out of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-32194739735027669992020-03-26T13:31:36.959+13:002020-03-26T13:31:36.959+13:00ps... your husband Paul is either a perfect match ...ps... your husband Paul is either a perfect match for you or he's caught your chic attitude.

YAY! I totally agree. I'm in Vancouver - not in lockdown but seriously warned to stay home! This morning I put on a dress, all my makeup, perfume and earrings and my husband said, "Where are you going?" I said "going crazy but I want to look decent when I get there". (I think he may have thought I was already there!) I agree, Fiona. Be ready for anything. And if nothing happens, you're still ready. Somebody may FaceTime. Or maybe I'll suddenly want to FaceTime. Also, I have more energy when I'm looking better and feel like my best self and even the time taken to get ready is part of a routine that is kinda stabilizing. Thanks for these posts. xo karenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243448881221465601noreply@blogger.com
