*Hello Everyone,
I want to open up a conversation about Vanity Tables or Dressers. I remember these from days past where I felt (childishly) they were such an extravagance, a pretty one but who needs a dresser just for makeup? who wears that much stuff? Of course I had no clue back then, these are the thoughts of a child and I now know just how much women can use to keep themselves both beautiful and groomed.....from make-up to brushes, to supplements, tools etc.
But the Vanity Dresser idea was a quaint and romantic thing to me nonetheless. I thought it was more ''vain'' than love and generally I was right. That was 50 years ago.
Today I need one LOL....and I want one, why? I find that I need to take more and better care of myself, and though I do have some essentials I like to use, I don't because they are spread out all over the house, in the bathroom, in a bedroom in another room, in draws, etc....and I don't use these wonderful things as regularly as I should. So in organizing my thoughts around new Self Care Regimen as a routine, I realized I need everything in one place where they are visible and used.
I recalled a white vanity table I saw in a local store and thought it was so pretty. I want one now, and the ones I like....are like this:
or this.....
sighhhhhh
or this?
:D:D:D Those are my ideals, the fantasy. :D, but I will most certainly have to be very creative with whatever I do come up with. I do want to love this piece because this Vanity will have to entice me to sit at it and do all those necessary things and use those products I must for healthy, beauty, grooming, maintenance, age rejuvenation, etc.....all of which I am going to outline soon as I'm embarked now on a rejuvenation program I am creating as I go along based on what works, what produces effects or not This will be a fascinating journey since I am determined and when I determined, things happen. I invite you to join me as I journal here what is working and hope it helps and works for someone else out there too.
I began this Natural and Organic Path when I was just 21 years old when I was told I needed X amount of surgeries for different things, when all it was is I was allergic to food......many foods, many of which are considered normal foods but are not because they are so processed but while most people suffer over a period of time, I suffered immediately. Many ''foods'' are poisonous to the body and health and mind, are in fact toxic, and is why nearly everyone is sick. But people don't want to know this. I wont tell. It is all a very long conversation.
But I have re-educated myself, brought myself up to date, and I have begun a Rejuvenating Regimen for myself and because I am beginning to see results, I thought I'd share them and those will be posted in a series coming up.
I want to love this Vanity Dresser because this is where I will be loving myself. It will be the place where I give away personal judgements, many of which have been harsh, and lay those on the lap of forgiveness while I take up the mantle of Self Lovingness. This alone is a challenge. Mirrors will remain covered in the meantime. lol . I have not been as healthy as I used to be. I was a bodybuilder, organic, and ''almost fitness model'' (I refused) for many years. When I experienced many tramas at once, I lost the ability to remain healthy, things came in and wreaked havoc on every aspect of my being, and I began to eat for comfort for the first time ever, and my health went down, as well as my appearance. I found I've aged and I don't like it. I don't believe in aging, nor sickness. I KNOW we can do many many things to improve or reverse it and I've been educating myself on many of these things for over 30 years and helping many others over the years. At one time I was up to date on all the nutrients and practices, but after these many years new developments have come in and I have needed to re-educate myself on what these are, how they work etc....and I am impressed. There is hope for us all especially those over 50 like me.
This Vanity Dresser must be my Temple, a place of Sacred Luxury and Self Loving......my Temple to My Youth Practise it will be, and so it must be beautiful, inviting, and practical. I want to put all the things I use in beautiful jars and bottles and I am collecting them from the thrift store as I come across them. Then I will need the dresser itself and either I will find one that is perfect at the perfect price, or I will have to invent one from this and that as I find those. Time will tell.
Anyone who is more savvy on this Vanity experience, please comment or email I'd love to hear your stories.
Stay tuned.
