I also do not buy clothes that require ironing. I can see the most beautiful dress that will look great on me, but if it's dry clean, hand-wash, or needs ironing, it's going back on the rack. I do as little hairstyling as possible - to the chagrin of one of my best friends who swears I could wear some other great do's. I do my make-up in less than five minutes; when I take longer, it looks better, but not substantially enough to make me want to do it. I could go on and on. I never thought of it as lazy. I simply think that my brilliance is better put to use in other areas. Right? Maybe?

I will throw clothes in the dryer for 15 minutes and if they're still wrinkled, wear something else.<br /><br />I DO exercise only because I'm usually achy everywhere and moving is the only thing that helps. I hate days where I have to rely on pills. But believe me, I hate every minute of it.<br /><br />I grew up in the '80's when big hair was in. I am so used to curling and spraying and teasing and fluffing and moussing that even though I no longer have that style, I consider my hair 'easy' when all I have to do is blow it dry. I have been washing and drying it every day until a few years ago, when I adopted my current straight style without bangs. Now, I can go TWO whole days without washing it! <br /><br />And if the second day falls on a weekend, I shoot for 3 and just tie it up in a pony tail. <br /><br />I used to change my handbags every day to match my outfits. Now, I use the same bag for a year a time. <br /><br />As for lace up sneakers, I took the laces out of mine and just slip them on and go. OK, I can't run in them. <br /><br />But running is - you know - exercise.Patty Blounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928111057602279792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-8977126280096408612012-01-05T05:39:45.515-08:002012-01-05T05:39:45.515-08:00Ohmigoodbar.
