I need a make over.
Not Want.
NEED.
I live in sweats and cotton T's.
I love feeling comfortable and cozy on a cold winter day.
And, they hide a multitude of sins. Meaning the dimply thighs, love handles and flabby arms.
In my mind's eye I have a muscular athletic build.
Then I walk by a mirror, or see a photo taken without my permission (something that is expressly forbidden) and I think,' Who the Hell is that?'
And always it's when I THOUGHT I was looking pretty good.
NOPE! apparently I thought WRONG!
Great!
BTW- that's me in the orange top... awful. I. Know.My sister once told me I always had such a great wardrobe, when I was thinner.
And she's right.
How do I know?
I still have those clothes hanging in my closet.
And they are exactly the way I see myself dressing.
(see the younger, thinner, hipper me in this pic?)
Except for this one little thing.
They're several sizes too small. And outdated. And most likley dry-rotted.
Bad hair, raggedy clothes, umpty-umm many pounds too many on the scale...
See?
I NEED a makeover, BAD!
Stacey. Clinton. Jenny Craig? Anybody?
HELP!

Thanks for stopping by my blog-one more thing in common-I'd love a makeover too!!! I often dream of going on a show like Rachel Ray and getting a complete overhaul :) then I say to myself-you know what, we'd all look great if we had make up artist and hairdressers everyday :)
I would help you but I am a guy....and that probably wouldn't be such a great makeover actually. But see how I offered, that counts right?
I totally hear ya. When we think we look great, get all dressed up to go somewhere nice, even if it's just a family get together...and then you see the pictures and it's like...WTF was a I thinking wearing THAT? I used to LOVE getting my picture taken now it's "Honey, only from the neck up please." And even then I'm not all that overly impressed.
lol, you are so FUNNY! I think you're beautiful! If it's pounds you want to lose, you should go watch the video I made recently of what I did to lose weight :) It's under my WEIGHT LOSS section. You have such a fun personality, I'll be back cause now I'm following you.
Crystal-- you saw the pictures... if I don't laugh I think I'll cry!
Except for the good picture of me from 20 years and 4 kids ago.
If I do what you did will I get taller and have blonder hair? Cuz if so count me in!
Hi Dawn, thanks for stopping by my blog. Your comment made me remember how hopeless I felt at the beginning of my weight loss journey and how amazed I am now that I actually succeeded. I took it a week at a time, sometimes a day at a time. Gradually, the pain my body was in subsided, I began to feel well again, my mood improved (well until now that is) and my life got bigger as I got smaller. It can be done and I hope you can do it too. Drop me another note if you have any questions or need support. Hugs, Kari x
It unanimous we all want makeovers. I dream of spending a week in a spa and coming out gorgeous. :)
Ok Dawn. We make each other laugh. We self-deprecate ourselves to death, but the truth is: you are funny, and smart, and a dedicated mom. You have GORGEOUS red hair, and lovely skin, and it isn't funny that you are so bummed out about how you look. I do the same thing to myself. And you know what? We shouldn't do it. We shouldn't give a crap if we look like someone named Crystal. Crystal!!! Really?
I'm here to say: You don't need to change ANYTHING to be fabulous. 'Cause you already are!
i myself, is very much in NEED of some kind of makeover. But i HATE shopping , only people who can buy off the racks enjoy shopping. Occasionally i will put makeup on. But consistancy is my main thing. I like to sleep as late as possible. I embrace the fact that it takes me 5 minutes to get ready. :)
Crystal- I too covet my sleep. I never get enough... and I figure I use a good anti-aging cram AND sunscreen laden moisturizer.... isn't that enough like makeup?
Works for me!
But as I get older I think *perhaps* I shoud start dressing and/or doing my hair so that I look like a grownup, especially since I have grownup children who look more grownup than me.
