Because of that many people tend to believe that that is very important, when it actually is not. It´s good to care about the way you present yourself to others as it does show something of yourself to them. But it´s just that a bit of yourself it has very little to do with who you really are. There´s more in women than their looks and there´s more in men too. <BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, how you look should not be something that should be compared to certain standards as everyone is unique and how you look is part of that uniqueness. <BR/><BR/>You're very right in your views, and yes people should spend less in appearances and more in real things. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for everything and best wishes. :O)Inmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788372841336150954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16377511.post-55209187052790669992007-11-22T11:39:00.000-08:002007-11-22T11:39:00.000-08:00LOVE your entry (as always lol)my sentiments exact...LOVE your entry (as always lol)<BR/>my sentiments exactly!!

And boy I still think I'm 18 * EEEEK- even act it-LOL*, never worried about HOW old I am- I do buy good creams for my skin- but no peels and acids either- I CAN't tan as it causes me to come out in hives! LOL- so I'm lilly white- and I'm happy with it! I do on the other hand 'do my face and make-up' to meet the day.(but it's light-mascara and eyeliner) I was always taught that one should take pride in ones appearance- it's something that I have done all my life for as long as I can remember- Wayne goes to work the whole day and I like him to come home to me looking pretty- I don't on the weekend when he is home though and we will both strut our stuff in tracksuits or shorts and my hair will be left to dry naturally- I've been to a plastic surgeon twice to see about a tummy tuck- never had it done- I won't now either- I've come to terms with it-(Nathan was a very large baby and it stretched my stomach badly)- but Wayne loves me like that- I just had to learn to love myself like that- I do now! ( somedays are hard- especially in summer- but I get over it)- Gee's you always have me writting a book here-LOL<BR/>I hope that you are having a wonderful day-<BR/>Sending HUGE SOUF AFRIKAN huggies-<BR/>meeeeeKim Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792068585114358141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16377511.post-36915432957795598342007-11-22T08:26:00.000-08:002007-11-22T08:26:00.000-08:00Hey there girl! Great post. My sentiments exactl...Hey there girl! Great post. My sentiments exactly. To the chagrin in many of my friends I have never worried a whole lot about my physical appearance. The pressure to wear make up was HUGE. I dabbled with make up a bit and most certainly not consistantly, to appease them, but felt it was more harmful than beautifying. People would just have to take me as I was. Plain and Simple! Now dressing. That's another matter. I like clothes and they don't harm ones skin one little bit! <BR/><BR/>Recently, two totally different people (one younger and one my age) commented on how few wrinkles I have. I looked at them so surprised ... I'm sure I have a few. It must be my relatively stress free life.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for gray hair (obviously). I went gray young ... in my 30s so I succumbed for a while to dying it ... but those darn roots showed far too soon ... and those chemicals. I got it cut short and went gray. My hair was quite salt and pepper at first but a very nice salt and pepper. I've had a lot of pressure from friends there too, to dye it ... telling me I'd look so much younger if I'd only dye it. I just smile.<BR/><BR/>I find it amazing, this pressure to conform, this fear to be an individual, to be who YOU are. To dress in a way that is you, makes you look good ... not some fad. Maybe it was my upbringing but I went through my teens feeling this way too. Couldn't see running with "the crowd" at all. I wonder how one could instill that in their children? One would have to start early for sure and I guess be an individual themselves!<BR/><BR/>Okay, I've gone one again. Have a good day.

I embraced my new decade with a vengence & I ain't lookin back! It just keeps getting better & better!<BR/><BR/>Been crazy busy this week (away at my momma's) but hopefully a visit next week??<BR/><BR/>hugsBecky Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328240336833495892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16377511.post-75361980277341674032007-11-21T18:59:00.000-08:002007-11-21T18:59:00.000-08:00Hi Barb,Thanks for visiting the Inman Road Chronic...Hi Barb,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting the Inman Road Chronicles!<BR/><BR/>I agree with your thoughts on aging, and I couldn't care less about my age, or who knows how old I am. I'm 46, and my forties have so far been the best decade of my life.<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite quotes on aging:<BR/><BR/>"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace<BR/>As I have seen in one autumnal face."<BR/>John DonneKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421189774080229946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16377511.post-30541893162980082752007-11-21T15:48:00.000-08:002007-11-21T15:48:00.000-08:00Eloquently said!
