Are you overdoing it?

Namrata
You believe in living in style.

You always buy and wear only expensive designer clothes, go out of your way to perm, curl/straighten, color or streak your hair, never venture outdoors without makeup, you always see to it that you are always with makeup even at home and so on and so forth.

In this venture, you are always up on your toes and constantly readjust your clothes, touch-up your make-up to ensure that nothing is out of place and everything’s just right.

In trying to keep up with this, you are always ill at ease and it shows! (People are sharp enough to notice your discomfiture…)

In all probability, you come across as a high-strung and insecure woman who is lacking in some sphere but is compensating for this by focusing all her attention on dressing and dolling up.

This in itself shows that you are miles away from that elusive thing called ‘style’.

Sure, one has to look good, wear make-up, dress well but there is no point in getting hung up on it all the time.

If you look around you, you will find women who are least bothered about their clothes, makeup or hairdos but who are completely focused on what they are doing.

They have adequate self-esteem and carry themselves with grace and dignity. This invariably makes them attractive to others. They are the ones who are ‘stylish’ in the true sense.

  1. I agree. I can see some people that look so good with little or no makeup and cute no frill outfits. I am not all done overdone but I don't think I look good without any makeup at all. Too white!

  2. Thanks for dropping by Debbie. I have seen quite a few women who are too obsessed with their looks and neglect other aspects of their personality.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them!
