A Friday Night Ritual
November 22, 2017
So, I think I’ve talked on here before about rituals – how I had them and how I’ve lost that over the years somehow. One of my best known was my Friday night What Not To Wear ritual complete with chocolate. So much fun. But, we moved, I fell into depression, we sacrificed TLC for a lower dish bill (not to mention no more WNTW!), and the ritual fell by the wayside. I’ve spent time trying to figure out a new one and then, I just fell into this one about a month ago without really realizing it. It hit me last Friday – this is my new ritual! Halleluja! So what is it? Let me tell you…
Every Friday I put on some good tunes – whatever suits my mood – while I get ready for bed. After that I get my Mama’s Little Helper Box down and pour me a little drinky. Sometimes I remember to use my martini glass and prepare my drink ahead of time. :-D Then, I gather all my skin care and makeup and switch out items for the next week. I also purge anything that isn’t working or toss out items that are used up. Everything is put back, lights out, and I settle in for some You Tube videos I’ve found featuring older ladies. I find a lot of inspiration and comradery through their chit chats and it makes me feel I’m part of something. I keep hoping to find some in real life friends like that.
All of this helps me to get my beauty sleep so that’s what I do. Okay, not a big ritual, but it takes at least an hour and it’s enough to wind down for the night and also know that I did something special just for me. And, really, that’s what a ritual like this should be.
