May always reminds me of Mother’s Day and the rituals and bonds we have with other feminine beings – friends, sisters, cousins, aunts, daughters, step-daughters, grandmothers & mothers alike. We gather and share knowledge through history and stories about our daily skin care and makeup routines. I think we forget that it’s the sharing of these rituals that create some of our most precious bonds.
Think about that for a moment – skin care and makeup bringing us all CLOSER. People for centuries have created ritual through the sharing of beauty products and the way these products make us feel on the inside and the touch of them on the outside. We are able to open all of our senses when we explore ritual. I can see a direct link between the inside and outside and how one affects the other and I’m happy to report that I want to rally behind more of it….more self care, ritual & sharing with others.
A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to sit down with my mom for a brow waxing and shaping session and we got to talking about makeup for mature skin. See her blog discussing what she learned here. More women than ever are asking me for makeup advice and when they arrive for their makeup lesson, there is always a need to discuss the skin care ritual first. Skin care and makeup are one in the same in my book, without good skin care, the makeup is just a mask that covers.
Self care rituals should be celebrated again and again, because these daily practices weave health and consistency into our future generations. CHEERS TO HAPPY & HEALTHY RITUALS
With Love & Awareness,
