Vanity, Helen Style, or Oh, Cool, a Quiz!

My socre is 6 so it makes sense since I'm only 23.

But I'm not young.  Wish I was.  I just don't worry to much about myself.  My DH tells me that I need to start caring about myself more.  I worry more about others and definitely him.

Great quizz.

Happy 4th of July.

only because I have 6 pairs of 3" heels shoes and love wax (seriously Telly Savalas is addictive...lol)

I always knew I should care more about my appearance, and this little quiz proves it.  If it weren't for a couple of trips to the tanning place each summer and the chapstick I use when my lips crack in the winter, I'd have scored a zero.

I've stopped buying cosmetics--I kept throwing them away unopened when they passed their expiration deadline.  And I know I should use moisturizer, but I can't seem to make creams and lotions part of my routine.

However, I've started making an occasional trip to the salon to get my nails some professional help, and recently I asked my hairdresser to add some highlights, so there's hope for me yet :-)!

I guess I would have to say I scored 0.1.....I use chapstick on my lips sometimes but not often, the only work out I do is mall walking and that's strictly doctor ordered and I don't care what I look like when I do it, and I am waaaaaaaaay over 40.

Great quiz, although it's so telling! You've found me out. I was considering a chemical peel before National! That probably ranks up there in the point system. And I'm saving money for my tummy tuck! LOL...hazards of a childhood filled with "pretty" moments. So, yes, vanity is definitely a vice of mine. My dh nearly fell over when he found out how much my moisturizer costs. No off the counter for me. Nope. Sonya Dakar, Brenda Christian, only the good stuff for this face! And I get regular facials, as well as have my eyebrows threaded. (waxing is only for the bikini areas!)

So, yep. So vain...but I love new product!

My score is 4.

Lol. I was giving myself a point for EACH pair of shoes.

I'm only a 5, 4 of those points from shoes.  If I'd done this quiz 10 years ago, you could multiply that score by 10 most likely.  I'm not sure if this is ageing gracefully or just that I've given it up as a no-win situation (not to mention expensive.)

Helen, I am SOOOO with you.  I wander out looking pretty discheveled.  No makeup. Keep my clothes until they fall apart. (If the eHQ PJ party had a prize for oldest PJ's, I could wear my favorite nightshirt - it's 18 years old, and i know that because I got it for my birthday the year I found out I was pregnant with my son. <G>) Never thought I had a vain bone in my body...but...as age creeps up, I find myself entertaining ideas I never would have before.  Like...if I won the lottery, I might just have some plastic surgery.  LOL.  I never, ever would have even entertained the idea before.

I confess to having a tummy-smoosher.  Not one of those heavy-duty ones that you have to do contortions to get into -- I'm not that vain.  Not yet. <G>  Give me a few more years and we'll see how I feel then.  LOL.

Face creams, yes.  Do those more often now.  Don't do tanning -- don't like the heat, don't like what can happen to your skin.  Why invite more wrinkles? <G>

Vanity, thy name is aging woman.  LOL.

I use Oil of Olay at night during the colder months, and I just bought eye lifting/firming stuff today.  I'm not very young, but I've pretty much given up and given in to aging.  It is what it is.  Some of that other stuff (like the lingerie designed to lift or hide or firm) is something I might use if I were thin enough for it to do any good, but I'm not anymore.

By the way, you forgot a big one:  You color your hair to hide the gray.  I won't say I've never done it, but I've only used the ones that rinse out gradually because I'm just too lazy to keep up with the roots, and, IMHO, having solid color hair at the bottom and gray roots looks far worse than the gray that appears naturally.  So, I just let the gray hang out, too, and I have plenty of it.

I am doing a little bit of exercising to try to get back into some semblance of decent shape, more for my health than for my appearance, though I'd love for the appearance to be more appealing, too!
