Great thread!
I neglect myself too. Though lately I do try to look a little better, since we have been having unexpected visitors coming over fairly frequently! Just the other day someone came over and I was in my jammies, my house was a bomb and I was sooo embarressed! Though I had an excuse of my kids being sick for 4 days, and my friend is a mum too so likely understands, but still doesn't stop the embarrassment.
I try to make sure I put on mymore decent pants and tops (usually yoga pants/trackies at home) and I am trying to make an effort to always put on some makeup, earrings/necklace and jeans/nice pants to go out, even just to the grocery shop or dropping the kids at childcare.
Last night I had a bath, put on a face mask, shaved my legs, used some lovely smelling body wash, scrubbed my skin and moisturised when I got out. I felt so much better for it. Having 4-5hrs broken sleep every night feels a whole lot better if you don't look like death warmed up every day!
Though I have my days, like today...I'm in my ancient, holes in the crotch yoga pants and a holey jumper which is also ancient....both at least as old as DD, so 4yrs old. I guess it's all a work in progress!
