WOW, I feel eminently unqualified to answer this question. So I am going to go with the first thing that popped in my head.

 

SLEEP. When I am rested, I do not have bags under my eyes. When I am rested, my hair and skin seem to look healthier. When I am rested, my attitude is exponentially better .. and you know what they say: 'Pretty is as pretty does'. Or something like that.

Runner ups:

  1. Lip balm
  2. Mascara
  3. Sex

Not necessarily in that order.

So, what about you? Let's hear it. C'mon .. don't lurk and run. Tell me what you think!

I might have also ranted about this here:

  • I think I rememebr what sleep was like. I know I miss it.
  • Ranting Mommy
    I know. I always snarl at my kids when they don't want to sleep. I think "what's wrong with you???? Don't you know that sleep is PRECIOUS??" Youth is wasted on childhood, for sure.
  • Hmmm, a very good list I think!  I like lip gloss over my chapstick, but otherwise, it's pretty perfect!  :)
  • becca
    Definitely sleep for me (as proven by my love letter i wrote to sleep over at my place today!).  Nothing makes me look and feel better than sleep.  And nothing makes me feel and look worse than no sleep.  
    Runner up for me is vaseline intensive care jelly on my lips EVERY night.  Does wonder for soft puckering lips!
  • It's funny you said sex because oxytocin is a hormone released just before orgasm and helps the body to secrete endorphins which go throughout your body making you feel better i.e. beautiful lol.
  • Ranting Mommy
    Woo-hoooo! bring me some oxycontin! Wait, that doesn't sound right, huh? NOTE to DFCS: read her reply before you come get me.
  • LOVE this!
  • Mel
    Oh I love sleep too! More than anything. 8 hours for me ;)
  • Ranting Mommy
    Isn't that so true. I can live on 7 if I have to, but 8 sets me right.
  • i'm dreaming of sleep.  (talking to you, baby boy!)
  • Ranting Mommy
    Sooooooo true *side-eyes my son*
  • Ahh, beautiful, blessed <strike>sleep</strike>.  Sex!   I meant sex.  No, really...
  • Ranting Mommy
    *snort*
  • BK
    Sleep is definitely very important for everyone. A good night rest always leaves us feeling fresher and energize.
  • Sleep (and water) has amazing restorative effects!
  • Ranting Mommy
    and at least 1 out of 2 we can control, right? *sigh*
  • ahhh, sweet, sweet sleep... I just don't get enough of that.
    Guess I'll have to stick with the lip balm and sex... okay, maybe just the lip balm- it's easier.
  • Ranting Mommy
    HAR! yes, of the three, lip balm is my most consistent friend!
  • Sleep... sigh, I miss sleep. Very good point though!
  • Ranting Mommy
    I know, right? I remember..sorta ... kinda ... what it was like to feel rested. Sorta. Vaguely. Hrrrmmpppphh.
  • I love that you put sex as a beauty secret!! How funny!  I agree that sleep is amazing!  Also, drinking water really does help my skin and hair. I heard from another blogger that cold water helps keep your hair shiny, but I refuse to take even a tiny cold shower LOL
