    Wearing a good pair of heels. I love my legs and they make them look a-mazing (at least to me!:smooched: ) Also, a good pair of jeans does wonders. And when I really need to achieve something - mascara. It's amazing what that little bottle can accomplish :wink:

    Either when I am very happy with my outfit choice for the day or when I get compliments from..well anyone! Ha. As bad as that may sound, if I know that someone else thinks I look good that gives me enough confidence to look past my flaws and see my good attributes.

    I walk through the house in my undies and my husband's reaction is enough to make me feel attractive. Since he sees this every morning when I'm getting dressed you'd think he be oblivious to it by now, but he never fails to have the appropriate response.

    I still dont really know the answer to this question, but sometimes I feel attractive when I buy a new outfit that looks good on me. Then again, I have a nasty habit of buying clothes that are too big or hide me.

    I put on a shirt that makes my skin and cheeks glow (I'm blonde & fair, so the color is peach) and a pair of dark trouser jeans. Knowing people are looking at my fresh, beautiful face and smile instead of my body (on days I'm feeling bloated) makes SUCH a difference!

    Buy yourself a couple tops in this signature color and reach for them on these 'down days'. You'll feel like a million bucks in 30 seconds!

    I give myself a makeover...

    I wash my face then mask. Husband calls it my kabooki mask b/c it's white. Then I shower to rinse it off and use yummy smelling body wash and shave my legs. Then I use emollient cream on my feet, and exfoliant on my hands, regular lotion on the rest of my body, that matches the yummy smelling body wash. I blow dry my hair, play with makeup, pick out a cute outfit...and voila. I may have nowhere to go, but I look fabulous and feel 1000% better. I'm such a girl.....

    flirt and enjoy the reaction.

    sexy shoes.

    dress up in something that i know compliments my figure.

    basically do the OPPOSITE of how i'm feeling and my feelings will begin to match my actions. :)

    Definitely with everyone who mentioned workouts. My attitude and even the way I walk changes after a good workout.

    A nice pampering shower with a deep conditioning treatment for my hair and nice-smelling lotion afterward.

    Fantastic music that makes me want to dance.

    A cute shirt in a color that's flattering (for me that's usually teal, green, or blue).

    Give myself a thorough pedicure with a cute new nail polish.
