Re: Dressing Up & Putting your Face ON

January 7, 2008

Couldn't agree more Sista.....if I stay in my bed gear too long I start to feel FRUMPY...now That I've stopped working I really have to kick myself AWAY from checking THIS blinkin' Board & go make my bed, do my exercises, have my shower & get frocked up quick sticks OR I'm a goner & still in my PJ's at lunchtime!

My closest girlfriend was up from Melbourne & we hit the shops together last week..FUN.....SHE persuaded me to INVEST in some gorgeous filmy Indian Silk floaty frocks that I can wear as lounging gear .....the material is Sooooooo soft & beautiful that I feel very uplifted in a meditative sort of way when I wear it. It's not PJ's but it's not 'street-wear' either.....romantic, soft, flowing & inspiring.

I'll always remember our fun shopping session when I frock up in it!

Puttin on the FACE is a DAILY ritual for me ....must have at least some eyeliner (plum, purple, green or blue ), mascara & lip gloss or lippy.....have to give the face a bit of a 'light-up"....if I don't people have always thought I was sick...I'm extremely pale skinned!

Can't have anyone thinking I'm sick...now more than ever!

COLOUR is sooooooooimportant too.....I find choosing colours in the morning to help direct my mood or energy levels...red for energy, vim & vitality, purples, mauves & pinks for fun & frivolity, green or maroon for outdoors (Gardening , bush, camping, walking), soft hues for calm but usually a soft grey-purple or plum or mushroom pink, gold/bright yellow for different sort of energy usually for social occasions at restaurants etc, black is a basic oft used winter colour but offset by my BAUBLES

AAAAAAhhhhh that brings me to BAUBLES.....I AM a self-confessed BAUBLES ADDICT......the bigger the better, wood, clay, glass, gemstones (like white or green amber, black pearls, rhodocrosite, moonstones, amthethyst, haematite, malachite, red coral ) AND the more outrageous the better......

I figure if I'm nearly 6 foot tall I've got to cover the acreage with SOMETHING!

AND I LOOOOVE my new specs they're called "PAGAN BABY"...from the Coco Song Italian Label....get the picture...IPF ain't gonna stop this gal from playing DRESS-UPS..the Cannulas & the Tanks are going to have to shape up when the time comes!

Besides a girl never knows who's going to turn up on her doorstep!

in Oz (being oh SO serious)

Hi! Just to let all of you know, I am only 5 feet tall. I am probably the shortest. As for beauty, I go to get my hair fixed and my nails done every Friday. Sometimes I get a pedicure or a wax. My closet is overfilled with clothes. (Yesterday I tried to straighten it up, on my side of the closet) I also love jewelry and always wear at least two rings, a watch, a bracelet, earrings, necklace, etc. My favorite product is the Kay TimeWise All in One Cleanser and Age Fighting Moisturizer. Because of my allergies, I can no longer wear any eye makeup but if I need coverup, I use it. Otherwise, I usually only use lipstick + lipgloss. I also use all the Cetaphil products because of my allergies. In the winter, I love the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. I get presents of all kinds of soaps, lotions, creams, etc. but sadly I cannot use them because I will break out in a rash.

Toodles!

Well girls, enjoy your height. I used to be 5/9 1/2 and I'm now a little over 5'8! I always loved being tall. My Lysa is 5.11 and Zoe is right at 6 ft. We shrink down as we age.

When folk realised I'd recently STOPPED being the skinny bean pole of my youth I got told "Dear, you DO carry your weight well!"

My Dutch Mother-in-law however, was more to the point .."well I never thought I'd see the day when YOU got FAT!" Just as well I love her!

Weight is something we have to CARRY darn it....I'm trying to lose some of the lard to make being energetic EASIER!

I favour the SMALL plate being FULL scenario....I don't buy myself choccies anymore but I sure as heck still eat them when they're gifted to me (can't be rude now can I!) Instead of bread (which, naturally, requires butter) I eat FRUIT for lunch ...Fruit often gets eaten LAST but really should be first & I DO love fruit! What could be yummier!

The mother-in-law HAS noticed a change so it must be working...don't own any scales .. no need when she's around! Exercising IS getting easier too!

Cheers,

in Oz

Jane, I'm short too...5ft 2 1/2 inches. I

love clothes and jewelry too!!!

Have you ever tried the Bare Escentuals line of make-up? I've very

sensitive skin and I have no problems.

Also, The Almay brand of products are great. Kay stuff I cannot

use..it has perfumes in it.

I also like the Cetaphil moisturizer.

I also get my hair cut and colored every 4 weeks and manicures and

pedicures too.

The pampering feels so good!

Hi! Just to let all of you know, I

am only 5 feet tall. I am probably the shortest. As for beauty, I go

to get my hair fixed and my nails done every Friday. Sometimes I get a

pedicure or a wax. My closet is overfilled with clothes. (Yesterday I

tried to straighten it up, on my side of the closet) I also love

jewelry and always wear at least two rings, a watch, a bracelet,

earrings, necklace, etc. My favorite product is the Kay TimeWise

All in One Cleanser and Age Fighting Moisturizer. Because of my

allergies, I can no longer wear any eye makeup but if I need coverup,

I use it. Otherwise, I usually only use lipstick + lipgloss. I also

use all the Cetaphil products because of my allergies. In the winter,

I love the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. I get presents of all kinds of

soaps, lotions, creams, etc. but sadly I cannot use them because I will

break out in a rash.

Toodles!

I tell people....I'm in shape. ROUND is a shape!

I'm 5'2-1/2 " ...used to be nearly 5'4 " . The prednisone shortened me,

and then rounded me....LOL!

I don't wear many " baubles " or " pretties " as I call them, but I

collect them. I have tons of costume jewelry, and PINK is my favorite

color. My clothes tend to be in pinks or blues. I'm not sure why I

don't wear the jewelry. I love to look at it and spend an inordinate

amount of time researching costume jewelry. And I sell it on Ebay. I

don't make a fortune but it keeps me off the streets and piques my

interest.

My room is hung with lots of colored necklaces. My " shinies " . h

thinks I was a crow in a past life as they're attracted to shiny

objects. Love my glitter!

When I was little I coveted dresses with sequins. Lots of sparkly,

shiny sequins....My Mom bought a few for me to play dress up in and I

felt like a princess.

Huge confession here. When I was a young teen, I wanted to move to

New York, live in Greenwich Village, drink red wine and smoke pot. I

thought that was soooo bohemian. I even planned to wear funky clothes

and be a torch singer. Go ahead, laugh. I do whenever I think about

it now. I WAS a child of the 70's.....LOL!!!! It was just how I

envisioned myself. I didn't think much past the style. As in, how

would I make a REAL living? Ah, isn't childhood great????

It's so important for us to do those little things that make us feel

better about ourselves and our lives. While I don't wear make-up or

much jewelry, I do small things for myself that let me enjoy my day.

OH, and I have one vanity, my hair. I like my hair to be clean and

shiny. So I spend a little bit on keeping it healthy.

There! WAY more than you wanted to know about me, and you didn't even

have to twist my arm or inject me with truth serum! Imagine the post

if I WAS injected with truth serum! Y'all would be wondering if it

was E V E R going to end!!!!

Good for you .... weight loss is sooooo hard for me. Briefly; can't exercise because of sob, don't qualify for O2 because my sats are not quite low enough; can't get on the treadmill because I've developed an irregular heart beat and my heart starts acting up. Eating is not my problem, I eat fairly well, just don't move much.

You sound like a ball of fire! Are you? Are you as active as you sound?

When folk realised I'd recently STOPPED being the skinny bean pole of my youth I got told "Dear, you DO carry your weight well!"

My Dutch Mother-in-law however, was more to the point .."well I never thought I'd see the day when YOU got FAT!" Just as well I love her!

Weight is something we have to CARRY darn it....I'm trying to lose some of the lard to make being energetic EASIER!

I favour the SMALL plate being FULL scenario....I don't buy myself choccies anymore but I sure as heck still eat them when they're gifted to me (can't be rude now can I!) Instead of bread (which, naturally, requires butter) I eat FRUIT for lunch ...Fruit often gets eaten LAST but really should be first & I DO love fruit! What could be yummier!

The mother-in-law HAS noticed a change so it must be working...don't own any scales .. no need when she's around! Exercising IS getting easier too!

Sandie,

Yes I AM active BUT I have learnt to pace myself. When I was first diagnosed with probable HEART FAILURE in February 2007 I was pretty shocked & told to just STOP all activity ....Eventually, after the real diagnosis was made in May 2007, I didn't have a clue about how fast this thing I'd never heard of, would progress. I was stunned into stillness until after I did Rehab in August last year.

My return to being active has been gradual but I did get a huge surge in confidence by realising I could still do long walks while in Cornwall...I just had to take it slowly & STOP every 15 mins.

I too have a oximeter (I didn't ASK my doctor I just got it from the Internet - I suspected he would think it unnecessary!)..I knew the main problem in starting myself exercising again was FEAR of causing lack of O2 damage to other organs...the oximeter solved that. It acts like bio-feedback....when it drops below 90 I know I've done too much!

My Sats have dropped since last May but only marginally..at rest they used to be 98 & now they show 96 & for the last couple of days they've been 95.....so I know things are shifting somewhat BUT, hey, that's pretty darn GOOD!

I'm back vaccumming, housecleaning, gardening, walking, modified swimming & playing with the grandchildren....just don't CLIMB anything higher than a ladder for the hedge cutting! Playing Tennis is now out, as is Squash, Beach Volleyball etc & SURFING ..ie catching the big waves using your own body as a 'bullet'! See I've given up some stuff!

My lungs crackle away & I can hear them...intermittant coughing....SOB whenever & that's what you'd expect......

So, I give myself a Clean Bill of Health, given the Diagnosis & HEY I'm ready for Action!

I must say that this group has taught me more about this disease process than any medico here, or any other web-site. It's the fullness of the sharing that goes on. You've all collectively given me insight into the hows, whys & wherefores of the progression of PF. It's SO helpful to listen to your experience & I can tell you all, I lap up every bit of your collective wisdom!

Besides that you're a great friendly bunch & enough of you like to come out to play so that I don't get overwhelmed with the sad reality of what is happening to each & every one of us over time!

THANK YOU,

in Oz

... thanks for this reply. (I'm mama that wrote you skilly girl, not Sandi, lol)

What you wrote inspired me. I can walk a short distance. I need to do that at least. Breaking through is hard as we all know.
