As an overweight person, feeling sexy isn't always easy. I rarely do. One thing that makes me feel good about myself is going to the salon, and having my hair done. Colour, cut, styling. Now I'm ready for my husband to return from Korea on Wednesday. ;)
How do you make yourself feel good about yourself?
My husband tells me at least once a day that I am hot;)..and shopping always helps too:)
ReplyDeleteI put on my pretty dress :D
ReplyDeleteA Long hot bath with no distraction. then wearing my best underwear under my dressing gown. There's nothing better than good underwear. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou're bringin' sexy back...yeah! Sorry, had to be said!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I guess putting on makeup, making sure I'm having a good hair day and really put an effort into my clothes. I work from home so it's safe to say dressing up isn't a part of my repertoire!
How funny- I had my hair done yesterday too! That always helps. It always amazes me how much better I feel when I put on a cute outfit and cute shoes-whereas normally (during winter) I roll around in jeans, a sweatshirt and sneakers. When I put on cute clothes with a matching scarfy- I feel good about myself.
ReplyDeleteOh I love getting my hair done... I don't ever feel sexy; lol. But I do love getting my toes done... I feel clean and put together when my toes look good.
ReplyDeleteGood question... I don't know. I don't usually feel downright unsexy, but really sexy? Can't remember when that has happened for the last time... maybe I should do something about that.
ReplyDeleteI wear nice underwear regardless of my size. Even if I'm the only one who knows I have it on, it makes me feel good about myself:)
ReplyDeleteHair and clothes. They never let me down. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like getting my hair done and buying some new hair products. I like my hair big, my curls bouncy and for it to set just perfectly. I also like to wear sexy underwear and have been buying more matching sets. Before, I could only buy bras that were in my size, now I can fit (and rock!) the cute bra & panty sets and it's so cool. I also look at myself in the mirror right after a shower to see how far I've come. I am happy that my sides and belly are shrinking. I like trying on new clothes. I think how you dress is a direct reflection of you how feel that day. If I feel like crud, I wear jeans and a plain shirt. Most days, I wear slacks, a shirt with a little bling and jewelry. It helps lift my attitude and adds a little bounce in my step. I think every woman should feel comfortable and sexy with who they are!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love getting my hair done, putting on some make-up and a nice outfit, maybe even getting massage. It makes me feel fantastic!
ReplyDeletea nice bath, some pampering - a nice tan and i agree with everyone else definatly good underwear!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the hair and makeup :)
ReplyDeleteI tagged you on my blog today! Play along if you like.
If I have my hair done nice, my make-up is nice, I hd my nails painted pretty and an oufit, usually a dress, that I feel good in, then I feel better about myself xx
ReplyDeleteHi there, Just found your blog and what an interesting post :). I vote for a new hairdo too, to make me feel sexy!
ReplyDeleteIt's just a fact of life that when you look better you feel better about yourself. So I guess when I break it down I'm sort of high maintenance....I give myself a nice blowout every day, spend time on my makeup and outfit, and generally feel put together. But it results in me feeling very good about myself everyday! And if I got a workout in that morning I feel even better!!
ReplyDeleteI see no men have commented? A motorbike and putting on my leather coat used to make me feel better, but I doubt it was sexy (more like loud and peacock like)!! Sure felt good though! Maybe one day again! (a bike and a leather bike coat):)
ReplyDeleteSexy underwear and a little makeup does it for me :)
ReplyDeleteThis really had to make me think. I'm in love with simple boycut cotton underwear & bras from VS (nothing very sexy with those). I'm a flannel pj bottom & top, slipper wearing fool. I guess I would go with a dress. When I was still working and would come home in a dress and heels and see my husband do a double take...that made me feel sexy.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel sexy very often, but when I come home from Zumba I feel super awesome. There is just something about shaking your bottom that makes me feel good about myself.
ReplyDeleteHaving my hair and nails done and wearing sexy pjs helps, but it is really hard for me anymore. I know I would feel sexier if I could do like you and lose weight. I have to quit putting it off and do something about it.
ReplyDeleteMy hub is currently in Korea too. How funny!!
ReplyDelete:-) Marion
p.s. Call yourself "Maren Monroe"--you know like a sister of Marilyn Monroe. When I call myself "Marion Monroe," it never fails to give me that edge. :D
I actually had my daughter point out to me that when I actually take time to dress nice, put makeup on, she says that my whole attitude changes - more positive. I think about that every time I just want to roll out of bed, throw jeans on and go to work.
ReplyDeleteHooray for hitting up the salon! :D
I get out my sexy underwear and this really nice little red slinky dress..
ReplyDelete.. seriously though, I honestly can't remember when I felt 'sexy' or desirable.
i know this sounds lame -- but i take sexy/cute photos of myself. (i am really not conceited too-too much!)
ReplyDeletei also get dolled up -- nice clothes, do my hair all purty, shiney/glitter lipgloss -- the works!
and ALWAYS a sexy bra -- ALWAYS!
and you are sexy so ya best hush up that negative talk!
I never feel sexy. But I feel almost sexy when I have a nice outfit on that doesn't make me feel huge.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's gotta be a perfect skirt and fab heels.
ReplyDeleteThe older I get the girlier I get. It's odd.
But for me...totally a skirt and heels.
Love the picture. I need to find my inner sexy again. I've lost her
ReplyDeleteI haven't felt sexy in a long, long time :(. I love others peoples responses though, they are helpful.
ReplyDeleteI just had my hair done today too. It definitely puts some pep in one's step.:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE a great pedicure!!!!
ReplyDeleteAND YEAH for hubby coming home!!
I feel good about myself when I help others or make other people feel good. It's so rewarding.
ReplyDeleteI so love to do my nails or have them done.
