Imagine that for several years your partner didn't shave regularly - maybe he did so once a week or even once every two weeks. They had some excess weight on them and didn't take baths on a regular basis. Suddenly they started taking better care of themselves, shaving every other day and they even started buying new perfumes. They tend to look themselves in the mirror more often and maybe they even cut some of their excess weight by improving their diet.
Who are they trying to impress? You might be asking yourself. That person might not be you because they were with you all these years but they have now decided to introduce a change in their lives.
