Women ought to be praised for all the gifts they possess--including their attentiveness to their personal appearance--that so unselfishly add to the richness of the lives of others. we must not let ourselves go and become so casual--even sloppy--in our apearance that we distance ourselves from the beauty heaven has given us.

i will do better with the beauty i have been given. this makes me want to go shopping! is there anyone out there with my sense of style, my exact size who is sick of all their clothes and wants to swap?? and one more question...when is my skin going to get the memo that i'm not a 15 year old hormonal boy??? ugh. these two things don't help me feel better about my appearance, but when i get ready i don't think about them as much.
i'm happy to report that today i have taken a shower, done my hair, and am wearing a cute outfit :)

It's not just you.. time just passes so quickly in the morning with all the doing that has to be done, getting ready just gets put further and further back. When I make an effort to get ready early, maybe even before the girls get up (it doesn't happen often) I feel so much better.
Josh and I loved that article in the Ensign. Josh even found the original talk (unabridged) and we read it together. It was very inspiring and motivated us to make some changes in our lives as well.
I, too, get ready early in the morning before Nate gets up. But I definitely simplify the routine if I know I'm not going anywhere that day.
I'm right there with you! Thanks for the post. I needed to hear it :)
Wow.. I will have to read that article! sounds like most of us mom's need something like that! Somehow we feel like we don't matter enough to get ready and feel nice about ourselves... but I guess we are right... we DESERVE it and owe it to ourselves. Thanks Nicole!
Loved that article. So many things I need to do to be more refined. Loved it. Hmmm... so maybe I should go take a shower then. It's only 12:30... still plenty of day left, right?
even when you don't try to look cute, you look cute. it's just who you are, you can't help it :)
