Keeping up Appearances.

So, I do wonder sometimes why we girls go through so much just to look good.
I mean, take today for instance, I woke up, had a shower, shaved, exfoliated and washed my hair... I then moisturized all over, dried and straightened my hair. Now comes the make up, and then add the nail polish, and I think I'm ready. I mean, wow, that's an hour and half of my day gone. And what am I doing today? Sitting inside.

Why do we care so much about our appearance?
Well, I blame the media, showing us these pictures of super skinny, tanned and just all over amazing goddesses of celebrities. Who, of course, have people who dress them, hair stylists, personal trainers.. and basically who don't have to lift up a finger.

And I also blame Summer... Don't get me wrong.. I love summer!!! But now the suns out I actually have to start caring about what my legs look like! Damn.

So I can complain all I want about how the media shows a bad representation of women, how we should just be happy as we are and not care what people think... but I still fall sucker to vanity, and go through everything to try and look like the women in the glossy magazines... and one day I will, if it's the last thing I do!

Oh vanity, how you plague the world! :)
