• Personal Grooming

   

  You should strive to look your best, especially at zone conferences, in Sunday meetings, at visitors' centers and historic sites, at baptisms, and when working with local leaders. Be neat and clean. Keep your clothes clean, mended, and pressed. Bathe daily, use deodorant, and wash your hair frequently. If you choose to wear perfume or scented lotion, make sure it is not distracting or overpowering. 

  The style, color, and length of your hair should be attractive and easy to manage and should not draw attention. The color of your hair should look natural and conservative. If you decide to color your hair, consider time, frequency, and cost. Hair adornments and other accessories should also be conservative. If you wear hair accessories, including headbands, choose styles that are simple and conservative. Avoid large hair accessories that draw attention and distract from your message. See examples of hairstyles and accessories. 

  You are not required to wear makeup; however, wearing makeup can help you look your best. If you choose to wear makeup, be sure that it is natural and conservative in style and color. Nail polish should also be subtle in color and style and not draw attention. See examples of makeup styles.

Perhaps this might be a question best answered when she receives her call and knows the location!

Yep!  LOL.  Only in the Philippines will you find people using umbrellas even when there's no rain.  hah hah.

Not true.  Ladies with umbrellas on sunny days is very common in Japan.  But what I found even stranger was that ladies with umbrellas on sunny days were not just walking - often on a bicycle with one hand holding the umbrella and in heavy traffic.

Interestingly, the term "umbrella" is Latin for "little shadow", and the term "parasol" means "for sun" in Spanish. So common terms for the object itself refer not to rain, but to sun. (The French "parapluie" does mean "for rain", though. I guess France isn't as sunny as we thought. Or maybe the French just don't see the need to protect themselves from sunshine.)

Oh yeah!  Chinese and Japanese cultures take skin care to a whole 'nother level.

I carry an umbrella here in the US because sunlight makes my lupus flare.  I feel very odd doing so, but it is better than staying indoors.  We have just renamed the umbrella (Dorkella).

I'm so sorry about you having Lupus. That's horrible.  

 

I must confess, I know very little about it but I DO know it's incredibly debilitating. I think it's an auto-immune disease, but is it? 

 

But I love how you named your umbrella!

Lupus is an auto-immune disease. We lupies tend to make antibodies to our own DNA and fun stuff like that. Praise God, I have about a mild case as can be had, so it's not too debilitating. Right now I just have a bad rash under my nose and my wrist in a splint because of bad inflammation.  The only time mine was life threatening was during my pregnancies.  Most of the time it is a non-issue as long as I take care of myself.  I did spend too many days at the beach this summer and I am paying for it.  I kinda think it was worth it though. :)
