Frugal Frump to Fab - 2015

rubiesr4eva

Like LB I too have been a domestic goddess (do need clean out my chickens though) and don't seem to have time for both, always do house before me, then run out of time.


Right I have 40 mins to get fab for my date night tonight with my gorgeous hubby.


Not got a clue what to wear, will start with quick shower, hair dry and see where we go from there.

Another one reeling from the shock of getting on the scales!! :eek::o

Oh well, I know what I am working with now - just have to get on and sort myself out.....

Tomorrow, I am clearing out my wardrobes - I don't need to have all the things in there that I have so I am going to be totally ruthless and remove anything that I haven't worn in the past 12 months!

I am booking an eyebrow wax next week - I will have to do it when I have transport available, but it is something which I need to get done as it makes me feel a whole lot better

I now have purple glittery toenails

Leg/bikini/underarm/eyebrow wax and eyelash tint booked for next week.

There's no way I'm getting on the scales!

I always go by how my clothes fit - it's less painful

I'm going by how my clothes don't fit :eek:

I do my own eyebrows and have done for a good few years now but I'm a convert to a bit of eyebrow powder/liner after my sister showed me how to apply it a few weeks ago.

Can anyone recommend a good nail hardener I could use? Nails are a bit soft after having acrylics on for so long.

Hi

Could I join you all please.

My top goals are as follows:

1. lose weight - joining sw tuesday night.
2. take off make up every night
3. use moisturiser every day
4. manicure my nails every week including a clear/nude polish.

That's enough to get started with for January.

Hi Everyone,

I would like to join you please.

I have 'lurked' for a while but haven't really had the time to make a proper commitment as I have been juggling a stressful job and a family.

I have made significant changes regarding work and will now be doing less and having less responsibility. This means I should have some time for myself on the evenings/ in the day and I want to make sure I use the time to get myself back on track.

I have recently started doing yoga and this has really helped me de-stress . I have a membership to a local yoga studio which is unlimited so I am trying to go three to four times a week. I would like to increase this but I think this is realistic for the time being.

I also used to do running and have done some park runs and a couple of 10kms, I am going to start again and sign up to do a 10k in April with a friend. I have arranged to run with her in the morning.

I have loads of lovely clothes but most of them don't fit. I really don't want to spend money on buying bigger clothes which means at the moment I have only one or two decent outfits I keep wearing on rotation. Nobody seems to have noticed but I do want to have more choice, especially when it warms up.

I have a good stash of make up and toiletries and I am going to be more consistent using them and commit to not buying anymore for the year. I can do my own gel nails at home because I have a lamp but I haven't done this for ages. I am going to do them tomorrow.

I also want to set a goal for weight loss. I have a juicer so I am going to make juices for breakfast and the odd lunch. I will weigh myself in the morning and then set a target for the end of January.

Anyway. I have realised writing this that I have everything I need to be more glamorous. There is no need to buy anything or spend any money. I just need to get on with doing it rather than buying things or talking about it.

I will set some goals tomorrow.
But for now - I will run tomorrow, get on the scales, do my nails and make a juice.

Hello again everyone :j

So lovely to hear from you all again after Christmas, and to meet some newbies!

LL - your post about goals for the month really inspired me - I'm off to make a list later

Big step for us this month is starting IVF, we have our first clinic in a couple of weeks' time, when we get all the instructions and the drugs. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the prospect, it'll be nice to put it into perspective with other goals.

Other than that, I'm doing a bit of early spring cleaning, trying to take my mind off the return to work on Monday!

LoLo

Evening all. I've had a pretty good day today. Started with a run followed by a bath and have dried and straightened my hair. I have moisturised and put make up and perfume on.

I've looked into slimming world as I like a lot of the recipes and have bought myself some nice ingredients to make something tomorrow.

I am taking each day as it comes and have decided I'm not going to beat myself up if I forget to do something or have a pj day.

My main aims are to take more care of myself by pampering and exercising and watching what I eat. I'm also doing dry January.

Evening all,

I just got caught up with the thread. I have been really busy decluttering.

Hubby and I went shopping today and i made a real effort to smile at people, by the end of the asda run i am normally quite grumpy but all that smiling left me feeling great.

I bought a new skirt and handbag today using vouchers they are both a bit more glam than i would normally go for so this fabbing must be working on me.

I have been keeping up with my hygiene and my deo and perfume not to mention the moisuriser and body butter. I am discovering that fabbing takes time.

I have been using nivea on my face and neck but i think it doesn't feel quite right, it feels heavy or something so i will try another moisteuriser for the next few days.

I have to admit that i am enjoying the fabbing and the me time.

regards
