What's your favorite beauty ritual, and why?
I have many, but I think my current favorites are polishing my nails and grooming my brows. I love doing my nails because it relaxes me. I can shut out the world and just focus on that for a while, and who doesn't love a fresh manicure? I love grooming my brows when I can take my time with it (I hate doing it when I'm in a rush) because there's such a sense of accomplishment after a good brow-grooming. In my case, it's like climbing K2--it's painful and it requires great determination and focus, but it's so worth it in the end. Ha!
Same, doing my nails. I really enjoy the process!
ReplyDeleteSame I love doing my nails its such a great way to relax n specially if I'm mad or sad about something seeing fresh painted nails make the day go by a little easier. Also I'm so happy when my brows come out just right. I wanna scream for joy!
ReplyDeleteI love to do my nails. That's a nice little distraction to add a bit of fresh color to the day.
ReplyDeleteI love doing my hair, it actually relaxes me. .my hair is really curly and it's always a two day process... wash the night before and prep it.. braid and sleep..once it's dry, then I'll flat Iron it the next day in small sections.. comes out beautiful. I also love to do my nails.
ReplyDeleteHi, G.! I've been a silent reader on your blog for a while now, and I just have to say it is AMAZING!!! :D Anyway, I really enjoy doing facials, if that counts. I wash my face, exfoliate it with a washcloth, sometimes steam my face, then do a facemask and my skin feels great afterwards! I also totally agree about grooming eyebrows. One time I did over pluck them though and boy, I'm never doing that again!
ReplyDeleteclicked "enter" to soon. and so is my Sunday at home spa day.
ReplyDeleteI love painting my nails because I get to use my creativity the most.
ReplyDeleteDoing my mani/pedi on Sunday's evenings always relaxes me. It's the soaking my feet in Epson salts and essential oils, the bubbles, the selecting new colors because I'm not into matchy- matchy or nail art. Usually my toe nails get the brightest color, and for my finger nails I like to keep them more subdue, but still colorful.
ReplyDeleteNot so sure it counts as a "beauty" ritual, I guess it's more of a daily (sometimes twice) hygeine thing...but I love to take my time in the shower. Nothing "resets" and refreshes like washing away the day and/or night and all the after shower things that go along w/ it...lotions, potions, and FRAGRANCE!! Perfume is something I feel naked without, I love chosing a scent of the day. I also love doing my own nails, especially a pedicure as I feel like only me, myself and I could really get in there and clean everything up just so. I take a good 1&1/2 hrs, but it is so worth it, as long as I have good tunes in the b/g and tea or coffee I'm all set! :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good bubble bath with a book and the scent of my choice, followed by a thorough pedicure.
ReplyDeleteanother vote for sheet masks! although i usually can't be bothered to do it consistently, i love the extra hydration boost i get after
ReplyDeleteSunday night mani's and or pedi's just really relax me! I look forward to it very much. I also do a Wednesday night mani. I do enjoy an occasional home facial too!
ReplyDeleteI love doing my nails!
