Today's Migraine and Headache Awareness Month blog challenge theme is Pretty Woman- What do you do to look good when you feel like crap?
I don't know about most people, but I've mostly given up on looking good when I feel my worst. I have to struggle so hard to be functional that my appearance takes a back seat. Instead I try to compensate on the days that I am feeling better.
On my better days I like to do a few simple things to make me feel a little more 'girly'. I take time to style my hair, instead of just letting it dry on its own. I make sure to put on my cutest pajamas. And, if I feel particularly good I may even paint my fingernails. It doesn't take much to contrast with how I feel when I am at my worst.
When I was younger I didn't take much stock in the claims that you would feel better if you spruced up a little bit. But I have learned that it really does work. So, when you can, spend a little extra time to make yourself look refreshed because it might actually make yourself feel refreshed.
