Since the birth of my son, I feel like I've "let myself go."  So one of my goals for 2011 was to make a better effort in my appearance.    Really, it was to get back to looking and feeling fabulously.

One thing to note, my office has no dress code and there are only a few of us.  So there's no dress to impress.  Plus, I probably only see a few other people during the course of the day.  Otherwise, I'm chained to my desk.  I'm lucky, but on the flip side, I make absolutely no efforts when I leave my house in the morning.  I stick to the classics (black, tan, brown -- boring) for clothing but that's what I like.  I love hats, so when I have no time in the morning to put some curls in the hair (that never cooperates anyway), I put a hat on.  But I admit, they're cute hats.  And I only have 4.  I'm getting burned out on them.

So January was a bust.  The month started off badly with the death of my best friend's sister.  I actually had forgotten about my yearly goals, so we started anew in February.   Ok, late February.  So my goals are to:

1. Put make-up on.  This means concealer, powder, mascara, and lipstick.  I'll try to get some eyeshadow on there too.
2. Do my hair.  Ok, I'm really lazy and I hate doing my hair.  I like having a hairstyle that can just dry and go.  Too bad my hair doesn't feel the same way.  It never cooperates for me. 
3. Spend some quality me time on myself -- pedicures, baths, face masks, whatever.
4. Start acquiring new clothes, or lose the extra 15 pound and wear my "skinny" clothes!  (That are probably outdated now...)

So, it's March now.  What have I accomplished?

I've had a pedicure AND I got my eyebrows waxed.  Let me just say, I feel so much better!  It's amazing what pulling some little hairs does to your self-esteem.   I even took a nice, long bath this last Sunday with a glass a wine.  That was awesome.  I used to do that every Sunday (pre-husband and baby) and I think I really need to get back to that.  I started off the week great.

And for the last month, I've made a good effort in putting make-up on and doing my hair.  Now I just have to work on the wardrobe.  Where are those make-over shows anyway???

So what do you do for yourself?
