It is a full day to put myself together like I used to in a hour and half from head to toe now.I will wash my hair a few times a week and walk around with a ponytail until following day to straighten my hair(my hair is very long now)Makeup these days would be a very special event needed.My apparel is all messed up so I usually just stick with sweat suites that match.I can eat fine(when I do)but I have to check my face or clothes after otherwise I will walk around with food all over me lol.

Lol. Same for me. I usually stick with matching sweat suits too. Then I can just go to bed in them. Makeup would have to be a very special occasion also. I don't even think I am coordinated enough to put it on. Would probably take my eye out with mascara.
