I can relate to a lot of what's posted too.

I was more interested in fishing when I was growing up than dresses or make up and mum got sick when I was 9 and passed away 6 years later then I was surrounded by males for the rest of my teen years. All my friends where male too. Now I still am surrounded by males in my h and kids and just don't see the point in make up and the likes. I do get my hair coloured sometimes though and have my eyebrows waxed and lashes tinted but that's as far as I go. Subtle stuff, not anything to draw attention to myself.

My pdoc doesn't wear make up at work either, which is a massive relief in some ways. My last tdoc wore it caked on and it looked revolting and didn't hide her wrinkles anyway

We had to go to a wedding a few months back and my boys had never seen me wear a dress. It was hilarious to have them come up and touch it all night and tell me how gorgeous I looked. I haven't worn one again since though and every now and again my eldest will come up and say " mum, you wore a dress one day, didn't you?"
