Beauty is Eternity Gazing at Itself in a Mirror - Kahlil Gibran
My mother was very particular about clothes and makeup. "Put on your makeup, even if you're just taking out the trash," was something she often said to me.
One of my treasured possessions is my mother's Art Deco style triple mirror. Back in November, we had a terrible storm which damaged a good portion of my bedroom and dressing room. The process of recovering insurance costs has been time-consuming and frustrating. Fortunately, my mother's mirror and my dressing table that you see pictured here in this blog entry were not damaged.
Every woman should have a well-lit and beautiful location to check her hair and apply her makeup. This is a touch of glamour which can be affordable for everyone. A dressing table hearkens back to a former era when women took time with what was called their "toilette."
Think about where you apply your make up. It is easy to make this area neat, pretty, and imbued with glamour. And that's part of living life beautifully.
