Vanity

You ever wonder why women feel they have to do so many things just to make themselves look good?  I mean we color our hair, perm or straighten our hair, remove hair from our legs and other areas, groom our eyebrows, use all kinds of lotions and potions on our skin, paint our faces with makeup, and our fingers and toes with polish, wear "support garments" so our bodies look perfect when they aren't, wear heels so we are taller, tan ourselves or use fake tanners so our skin looks golden and on and on!  Where does it stop?  And you know what?  Our husbands and most men don't care if we wear makeup or color our hair or most of the time even fix our hair.  They don't care if we come to bed in our flannel pajamas or our pretty nighties.  All they see is a beautiful woman that loves them and wants to be in the bed with them in the first place!  I mean is it the women that feel that we have to do all these things because other women do them?  Or is it because we look in magazines and see all the "perfect" women there?  I tell my girls that real women don't look like that, that those pictures are airbrushed and altered so much that she could have had a full beard and we would never know!!  I think that we as women hold ourselves at too high of a standard all the time and we should just relax and be happy knowing that our husbands love us as we are!!  Now where did I put that hair color??
