Hair - have dyed it in the past but its naturally mucky blonde with odd bits of grey now
Eyebrows - only pluck them in the middle to get rid of my monobrow
Face - wear make-up once in a blue moon
Body - never used fake tan or used a sunbed and never would. I am a pale skinned blonde and would look daft.
Shaving - shave pits and legs once in a while but normally natural.
Nails - cut short. never wear varnish and would never have fake nails.
Teeth - natural...well i did have braces as a kid but they still aren't even.
Boobs - natural 38G's0 -
Hair - I dye it myself at the moment but from next week getting it done at the hairdressers have dyed my bathroom floor and the toilet so making it more expensive. naturally long
Eyelashes - Extra long eyelashes people always telling me they must be fake they are not.
Eye Brows - Waxed twice a month.
Face - don't even go down the local shop with out make - up. Full make up every day eye shadow at night.

Teeth - Have been whitened but getting them done in Miami
Boobs - Real but will have them redone once have children0 -
1. Dye my hair
2. Paint my fingernails and toenails
3. Shave most of my body because I love that smooth feeling + I have tattoos on ym arms so it having them with hair on them takes away some of their beauty.
4. Wax my eyebrows
5. A little make-up during the week sometimes but mainly only when i go out for a night on the town*If you like the advice I give...let me know by clicking the THANKS button*

All that effort to look cheap and nasty. What's the point?
Au natural is much more attractive than the plastic bimbo look. Watch "Snog, marry or avoid" on BBC3. It's a make under show.
The plastic bimbo look usually gets an avoid when pictures are shown to strangers and the natural look gets mostly snog or marry.
Fake boobs are just awful. They might get you the attention you crave when they're under cover, but they're hideous things in the flesh. Would seriously put me off someone.
Tattoos are even worse. So tacky. Makes people look like they chew backy and spit it on the floor.
Admittedly, being fake and tarty gets you attention when out, but who from? leary drunks who think they're on to a sure thing.
Most blokes want a pretty, natural "nice" wife. I'm sure fake/tarty woman get treated far worse for it.0 -
I wrote a reply to this and then lost it, so here goes (again):
Hair - washed and conditioned every three days, deep conditioned every week, straightened most days. I used to have bright red streaks in it but grew those out about a year ago
De-fuzzing - shave legs, pits and bits about twice a week, more if seeing boyfriend/wearing a dress or a skirt. Eyebrows, upper lip and chin waxed every three weeks
Fake tan - gradual tan lotion for about two weeks before I go on holibobs, the rest of the time I choose to be pale and interesting or tan naturally (with factor 25 sunscreen, I'm a good girl!)
Teeth - real but could be whiter, I do use whitening toothpaste on them though
Boobs - real
Piercings - one in each ear lobe plus top of right ear and a second in left ear lobe that are closing up
Make-up - light and natural most days (foundation, concealer, mascara, blusher, lip balm or pale gloss). Occasionally add eyeshadow in 'neutral' colours (sheer gold, beige, brown), eyeliner, highlighter and/or lipstick.
Nails - cut short and painted myself (fingernails with clear polish, toenails in dark red)
Other stuff - wear contact lenses most days, exfoliate body two or three times a week, exfoliate and moisturise feet every night
I'd like to have massages on a regular basis - I've had a few as a treat and loved them. If I could afford it I'd have facials, eyelash tinting, laser eye surgery and laser hair removal on my upper lip and chin.
ETA: I go to the gym for an hour three times a week (cardio and weights/toning) and swimming for an hour once a week - not sure if that counts but I like to feel toned and as vain as it sounds I do feel better if I can feel that I have a distinct waist and a flat toned tummy."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0 -

It all depends on WHO you ask. My husband loves my tattoos and 1 out 10 people dislike my tattoos so that's not bad. My in-laws who are not posh but a bit old fashioned even like them so....
I find chavs nasty but just because I do doesn't mean everyone does. You can't speak for most blokes. You can only speak fro yourself. :rolleyes:*If you like the advice I give...let me know by clicking the THANKS button*

All that effort to look cheap and nasty. What's the point?
to make an effort doesn't mean we look cheap and nasty, the point is to feel good about ourselves.Au natural is much more attractive than the plastic bimbo look. Watch "Snog, marry or avoid" on BBC3. It's a make under show.
The plastic bimbo look usually gets an avoid when pictures are shown to strangers and the natural look gets mostly snog or marry.
Fake can be as simple as hair dye or as complicated as surgery, the majority of people (women) who do enhancements to themselves do not look like the before examples in Snog, Marry or Avoid. Also the majority of women enhance themselves for their own well being and not to see who will snog marry or avoid them.Most blokes want a pretty, natural "nice" wife.
Most women don't care what blokes want.Thank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0 -
All that effort to look cheap and nasty. What's the point?
Actually you only look cheap & nasty if you do it badly, perhaps you should stick around for some tips;)
"All that effort" as you say, done properly will make you look groomed & well presented;)
If you find it an "effort" & like the au natural (or hairy Mary) look, good luck to you;)
Some of us however like to look like we care about our presentation & appearance & put our best foot forward, others like yourself go more for the "let it all go/hang-out look".
If the man in your life doesn't mind the "let it all go/hang-out look" & you're not embarrased in front of your colleagues/friends then you go for it:D0 -
Not much really:
- make up, mascara, eye shadows almost every day
- epilating & shaving (being brunette sucks...)
- one tooth fake due to having it broken at the age of 9 in the PE class
No fake tan, no need to dye my hair, hate fake nails and can't really put nail polish properly... that's about it.From Poland...with love.
They are (they're) sitting on the floor.
Their books are lying on the floor.
The books are sitting just there on the floor.0 -
makeup - every day, most important is my foundation, i have really blotchy skin
i dont dye my hair, i'm naturally blond, but i dye my eyebrows and lashes myself every 5 weeks and OMG i left it on my eyebrows a bit too long on monday night and now i look like groucho marx:eek: i'm in hiding just now!
