Is it weird that I like to take care of myself?

[whattothink]

Seems like my female friends think it's weird I have a weekly beauty day. I like to do all my maintenance of deep cleansing, deep conditioning, exfoliation, and such all in one swoop. Now most of the people that think this are rather frumpy girls with low self esteem (not judging just commenting). I will even say to them, try it you say you feel like crap all the time, taking care of yourself makes you feel good and look good to others. They always tell me it's too time consuming to keep your nails up, clear skin, nice hair, white teeth, and not look like a yeti. Personally I think every girl should so she feels as amazing as I do.

No, it's not weird at all. There's nothing wrong with one taking care of themselves. However, as I just wrote in a my take, not everyone can afford to do that stuff and some of that stuff doesn't come cheap. Also, there are some women that really don't have the time to do that stuff. I think everyone wants to take care of themselves, but everyone does in there own way and with what they can afford. So, there's nothing wrong with what you do. Just as long as you understand, not all women can afford to do what you do.

See I have friends that point out how expensive it is. However I use a bit of sugar and oil and honey to do all of it. I go to a discount grocery place and $5 worth of products will last me three months. Even if you don't have that you can still use what you have laying around. Leave regular conditioner on for an hour with a plastic bag around your head while you do chores. Use a washcloth a little longer to exfoliate. Steaming a pot of water to clean out your pores. I've been making it work since I was a broke teenager. I just have no idea why everyone thinks it has to be so expensive.

Maybe it doesn't have to be. However, what you just mentioned sounds very time consuming and not everyone has time for that. Some people are constantly on the go and just don't have time for that. Especially, if the women is married and has kids and job and has to take of the house. There's just no time to fit a something like that in, doesn't mean she doesn't have a regimen. Just means, it's quick, cheap and able to fit with in the time frame they can set side for something like that.

You look out for number one. Spoiling yourself and taking care of yourself is what life is about. How can you care for others if you don't care for yourself.

This is why I wish I could be a woman. As a guy though, I like taking care of myself too by optimizing my conditions (especially sleeping space).

I do a little every day

[whattothink]

Eh it's just too much to do every day. But I like to multi task to do like 3 hours in 1.

[whattothink]

Well, if you got the money...

[whattothink]

Money? I do all homemade recipes for that stuff. I use less than $5 to do all I do.

[whattothink]

Well except for the nails, I do get those done.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, but those things still cost money. You pay rent, and all that, right? If you have the money...

[whattothink]

I suppose? But water, olive oil, sugar, and honey are all things I use anyway so I don't even think about it. But those girls that pay $25 for a sugar scrub that I can make for $2 make me ill.
