On days that I wash it, I use four different products on my hair. I don't leave the house if I'm not wearing my makeup, and I keep touchup products in my purse for the remainder of the day. I take migrane medication and a diuretic when I get my monthly PMS and I'm currently taking medication to treat my social phobia and depression and a toenail fungus. I brush my teeth three times a day and floss at least once. I use deoderant/antiperspirant.
I also eat healthy, get 40 minutes of strenuous excercise and flexibility excercises a day.
Being clean, healthy, and presentable are important to me, so I do what I need to do to take care of my body and be able to present my best self to the world.
Am I dependant? Sure. I see nothing wrong with that, though. I'm dependant on a lot of things. Food, water, oxygen to keep me alive, my family for love and support, my job for money and fulfillment.
I see nothing wrong with using whatever reasonable means are available to me to help me be the person I want to be.
