I hate having to wash and dry my hair. Luckily (though sometimes I say otherwise), my hair grew very curly after 40. Now, there's no way on earth I could ever blow dry my hair straight. Before I left the US, my hair stylist there even gave up. I did have a stylist in Czech Republic who managed a couple times, but then she went home afterwards, tired.

Nammu, I never really learned how to put make up on, either, other than just a bit of lipstick and blush. No woman in my family used much more than that. No one in my life ever pressured me to use more. I don't even wear that much jewelry, even though my husband has given me tons over the year. I try to wear some on days just so he knows I like it.
