Getting cleaned up gives me a boost, so when I am down I make an extra effort, even if I'm not leaving the house. I do this for myself.
About fragrances though,....I am allergic to anything with perfume in it. So that means I use a natural shampoo instead of soap, yes I am even allergic to soap! Any other product, from hair products to skin products, have to be fragrance free.
So when I get clean, I just get clean, not all perfumed up... And I smell like me, naturally sweet and lovely
