I wake up some mornings with this overwhelming feeling that I really just don’t want to do anything.  I’d rather sleep.  I imagine I’m not the only one that feels that way sometimes.

In general, though, I feel pumped to start the day.  Well, maybe not pumped, but I’m willing to do it anyway. 

Whether or not you feel like it, you should always try to look your best.  And not just for that boy (or girl) that you have your eye on, but for yourself as well.

Here are ten reasons why you should look your best, any day of the week.

1. You can look on the outside how you feel on the inside.  You know as well as I do that you’re an outstanding person.  Everyone has something that makes them special.  Why not look just as good on the outside as you definitely are on the in-.
2. Show your confidence.  It’s often the case that people feel better about themselves when they like what they see in the mirror.  If you’re happy with your looks, that confidence will shine right through.
3. You’re always ready for a surprise.  There’s a certain Target store in my hometown that, whenever I went in (every time, I’m not exaggerating), I would see at least one person from high school, even though I graduated more than seven years ago.  Instead of having to hide behind clothing racks because you came out disheveled, always look good just in case you see someone unexpected.
4. Because it makes you feel good.  If looking good makes you feel good, then why not do that every day?
5. You might make some new friends.  As I said in #2, looking good shows confidence.  It also shows your own style.  Wearing some bright makeup?  If someone comments you on your look, you may just come out of the conversation with a new friend.
6. It helps with spontaneous networking.  If your work is freelance, you never know when you might meet someone that would want to work with you.  Looking your best means you’ll have the best chance of getting that work.
7. ‘Looking good’ will get faster.  Whether your version of ‘looking good’ involves doing your hair just right or doing a nice makeup technique, doing it every day will mean that you’ll get faster in no time.
8. You’ll get better at makeup.  I know from personal experience that the more you do your makeup, especially with new techniques you’re not used to, the better you’ll get.  If you’re ‘looking good’ routine involves makeup, then this is a great reason for you. I wasn’t always this good…
9. You’ll be more attractive.  What I mean is, you may attract a mate.  By looking your best, your confidence and your general hotness will make you a lot more attractive to others. Heck, you could come out of this with a nice seasonal fling!
10. Because you can.  Really, between the choices of looking good or looking bad, wouldn’t you choose good?

The idea of looking good is different for everyone.  Some women look best without makeup (although I suspect they don’t visit this blog too much.)  Others look great when their hair is curled.  I personally look best with my bangs straightened and my eye makeup done.

No matter how you look good, you should always strive to be your best.
