oh god, I am such a scruff - or am I just natural?!?
I do colour my hair as I have been going grey since I was about 17 and I hate it - so either a natural brown, or brown with higlights, or something different for a change! I generally do it at home, even with higlights and the like, as I have paid to have it done twice and wasnt that impressed for the cost!
I also have short hair, so if it goes drastically wrong it does not take too long to grow out!! It has only gone wrong once, whne I went for a natural dark brown which came out jet black, 'fat elvis hair' coloured - it was vile!!!
I shave my legs and pits very occassionally, and slap a bit of toe nail varnish on sometimes to cheer myself up!
I do wear a bit of makeup, but thats all folks!0 -
I have some of this collecting dust as it didn't seem to make a difference to the teeth that are not veneered - any tips?
Hmm - it definitely makes my teeth whiter, not quite sure what to recommend except maybe let the first coat dry then apply a second coat?
Maybe it depends on the original colour of your teeth, if yours are really white naturally then maybe applying this won't make them much whiter.0 -
I think i'm pretty low maintainance....
I shave my lady bits and pits every day but my legs when I have to..i'm lazy in that area! :rotfl:
I dye my hair once every 2 months or so, I used to do it more when I dyed it blonde as my roots were so bad but don't have to do it as much now I have it darker.
I do like having nice nails so I put "strong results" from Avon on a couple of times a week and when i'm going out (very very rare) I get them painted a pretty colour.
I wear make up only on a night out and then it's usually eye shadow, blush and lipgloss.
I like having a tan but fake tan makes me streaky so I go on the sunbeds but only when i'm going on hols or got a big night out.
I would never have anything waxed or plucked and i've never had any kind of plastic surgery.:heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

I wax my armpits, legs, and bikini line, been doing it for years and the hair is very fine now.
I pluck my brows.
Tinted eyelashes
Been dying my hair for years as I am going very grey, inherited that from my parents but luckily they have very good skin so no wrinkles.
I like to pamper myself and do my nails but not acrylics and I keep them pretty short, I only wear a small amount of make up.
If my girls head south I would have no qualms about yanking em straight back up again.
I would also consider a facelift when older, my great aunt had a lovely, very subtle facelift. She does not look at all 'done' just very fresh and good for her age. I think that is what I want, to look good for whatever age I am at rather than trying to look considerably younger.I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit.

Whilst applying yet another layer of fake tan last night I thought it would be interesting to see what others do to enhance or hide their natural state, I have noticed that as I have got older I seem to be doing more and more;) and wondered if anyone else was the same. Heres my list to start things off............
Things I do
Fake Tan
Tint eyebrows
Colour hair
Eyelash extensions
Hair extensions
Hair removal
Veneers on teeth
Make up and painted nails
Things I might do in the future

- Various Tattoo's all over
- Shave/hair removal
- Pluck eyebrows
- Dye hair (alot)
- Have had hair extensions in the past.
and i thought it would be more lol x 0 -
I am 30 and have never dyed my hair in my life - I love my natural hair colour - dark brown with natural red highlights, so don't see the point in covering it up.
That said, as soon as the grey hairs start appearing then it's hair dye all the way for me
Boobs are all mine, teeth are natural, legs and other bits are always shaved or waxed, but I do wear makeup everyday (because I love it, and love changing my look with it

Rarely wear makeup.- But if I do I wear lipstick, volume mascara & do smoky eyes.
