Hello lovelies in the 50+ community, it’s Monday again and I hope this will be a good week for everyone 
The importance of grooming yourself
It’s amazing how much of a difference a shower, a manicure or pedicure or a shave can make in your feelings of self-confidence and for your self-image. Sometimes it can even turn your mood around completely with this one little thing.
What is your favorite way to groom yourself and how often are you doing it?

I hate grooming! I'm a slob. I have to wash my hair every day or else I can't comb it. I shave once or twice a week.
@WharfRat
Hope your hair is not too long so that it is easier. In the past I was not keen on grooming neither but now I use nice essential oils and started to look forward to it, makes me feel better, somehow raises my self confidence a little too 
Brushing my hair everyday and removing unwanted hairs
@Meforexample
Nice, sounds like getting a clean look . I find brushed hair always looks nicer and more shiny.
@amiablePeace77
I enjoy giving myself a pedicure and don't take it for granted! It is a gift that someone as old as me (67) can still reach my toes! :)
@Peace4VG
Oooh nice! That can be so relaxing. But it would take me ages as I am not very good at it haha!
Do you keep it simple or do anything particularly fancy?
@Peace4VG
Awesome Peace4VG seems you worked on your flexibility in your life or is it just natural?
What is your favorite way to groom yourself and how often are you doing it?
Groom myself? I suppose brushing my hair counts; brushing my teeth; putting my clothes on. All those things I do every morning, other than putting my clothes on every evening as well.
@Offmytrack
Of course that counts and is also important! Great that you have that healthy routine! Do you have something for special days too, like some home spa?
@amiablePeace77
No, I just have a very nice house to live in with my girlfriend.
@Offmytrack
Nice that you got your own place where you feel well!
I love giving myself a spa night once a week. I shave, take a bubble bath, Face mask, Deep clean my teeth.
For my everyday I was my face and take a shower.
I love taking care of myself like this. I always have fun with it.
@Goldcherry2113
WOW you go all out! How wonderful!
Love all your steps. Do you go for any particular fragrances in your bubble bath? I like Eucalyptus!
@ToniJane Depends on what I am feeling. I like lavender or peppermint..
@amiablePeace77
What is your favorite way to groom yourself and how often are you doing it?
Skin care with a self-massage of the face, neck and chest! Skin care is self care! I do this most days, probably 6 days a week.
Whats your favourite Ami?
@ToniJane
Hi Toni , I am a great fan of self massage and yes to skin care. I believe we give too little appreciation to our skin, being the biggest organ of our body.
Something I do every weekend now is taking a warm bath with eucalyptus and lavender oil whilst listening to meditation music. After it a healthy supper and movie
I like to put on eye makeup but I rarely ever do it.
@HappyDucky8
Happy why not? It can be soooo good to look into the mirror and tell yourself "Girl, you look nice"! Great mood boost!
