what do you do to feel more feminine?

so i was kinda babbling away in my journal about feeling feminine ... i have always been built like a lil sherman tank (short and stocky) .. now a sherman tank with pillow .... i know i will never be petite and fragile .. so i was thinking "what i do/wear things that make me feel more feminine" ... i have this habbit of painting my nails every few days, i wear cute heels off and on, do my make up every so often .. this seems to give me a boost to continue on this journey of losing weight .. lifts my spirits up ....

i was wondering what you guys do to make yourself feel more feminine and does it have the same effect on you (lifted spirits) as it does on me ...

just a random thought

cheers

This "guy" prefers to be the perfect specimen of masculinity.

Painting my nails definitely.  Frilly or lace intimates also help.  And perfume; for some reason dabbing perfume on makes me feel really feminine.

painted toenails

lipstick...

lace panties.

I'm pretty practical and not overly girly, but when I want to feel more feminine I put on a cute (read lacy, skimpy) bra and matching panties.

I give myself a facial, do my nails. Just have a girl day.

Lmao dn ... ok then what do you do to make you feel like a guys guys? ... and see that my other problem .. lol .. i tend to do more thing associated with "guys" .. i love fishing, working with wood (power tools .. fun stuff) .. lmao ... i go 4x4ing, work on vehicles (not great at it cuz i am still learning, but i am right in there getting dirty), hanging out at the pick and pull  ... i mean i drive heavy haulers for living for lands sakes ... lmao ... ( i know, women do that stuff to but its more associated with guys) ... so i have to find ways to feel/be more feminine (just for myself)

coffin .. thats cool ... i love to dress cute especially if you can find those really cute dresses that are fun, flirty and look awesome on "you" (the general you, whoever you may be  .. lol ) ... i know i should be spending more time on makeup then i do (especially since i do have my esthetics certificate .. lmao .. how sad eh) ..

anyways ... i know what i do to feel that way .. just a question on what other ladies do to acheive that ... its fun a fun quiestion .. lol

cheers y'all

Eh...nowadays it's just putting on makeup and curling my hair.

Taking a long soaking aromatherapy bath would do the trick too.

And, for some reason, eating chocolate.

put on heels, short dresses, and very girlie lacy underthings.

 This always works for me too.

I can't believe no one has mentioned accessories! Matching girly jewelry, cute belts, small or chic purses, pretty scarves... You cn take something as simple as a pair of nice/flashy earrings or a fancy pair of sunglasses to make yourself feel glamorous.

Some women get a huge boost out of getting their hair done: a different style, twist on color, higlights... Or just a nice fresh cut! Whether you go big or small, just go to the hair salon to be pampered and be surrounded by chit chat and gossip.

Definitely high heels, globs of makeup, and dangly earrings.

buy yourself a cute piece of lingerie that plays up the parts of your body that you love. prance around your house in it, dance around in front of the mirror to some great music :p

i do a face mask first thing when I get out of the shower, also getting a pedicure every two weeks or so. I love fishing!!

If I'm feeling highbrow, I read Dorothy Parker.  I like me some bitchy feminine sass.

If I'm feeling lowbrow, I watch America's Next Top Model.  I like me some bitchy feminine sass.

I think about plucking my eyebrows.  And then I don't.

I'm right there with muttlover, I love accessories!  Cute purses, shoes, belts, and of course JEWELRY!  I love to put on dangly earrings and cocktail rings...so cute.    Ugh - now I want to go shopping!  This thread is dangerous.

Get  a Brazilian wax,sexy undies and drive my boyfriend crazy!

I straighten my hair (it takes a good hour to do it) and wear ginormous sunglasses that are of the Jackie O variety and if I'm really going the extra mile here I paint my toe nails.

Cute little dresses do the trick for me! Maybe throw a pair of heels in there.  

I can't wait for summer, I could live in sundresses!
