Good morning, Beautiful. Are you ready to confront the challenge of a brand new day on the face of this fascinating planet of ours? Take your time to stretch yourself and wipe the dreams from your eyes. Look at yourself. All across the nation, women are standing in front of the mirrors of their vanity cabinets and doing likewise. Do you feel connected? You should. Like millions around you, you now stand at the threshold between the hazy shadowy world of night and the bright, sunny kingdom of possibility and opportunity. A sigh of relief or a squeal of dismay might follow as you step onto the scale of your bathroom. Vanity cabinet doors click open as woman after woman leaves for the moment the latest evidence of those tiny victories and defeats that measure the progress of diet and workout.
Another struggle, just as serious, is now at hand, that against the insidious footprints of Father Time that slowly write themselves without consent across the face of every woman. There are many potions and lotions, powders and paints said to stall the grim
march towards aging. The frontline of defence against the appearance of wrinkles can
usually be found within the confines of our bathroom vanity cabinets. Here, every
woman keeps her cleansers, her toners and her moisturizers with which to coax her skin into remembering the unlined suppleness of youth.
A quick fluffing of sleep tousled hair? Or do you have something better in mind? While you are mostly stuck with your facial features, unless of course you are willing and able to blow a lot of money on cosmetic surgery, you can change what your hair looks like with considerable less effort and without breaking the bank. So, women of the world consulting with the contents of your bathroom vanity cabinets, what will it be this morning? Mousse or colour shampoo, gel or hair relaxer?
True beauty comes from within. It has less to do with appearing picture perfect, than
with feeling confident and sure of your being. Whatever women buy for their bathroom vanity cabinets should serve to enhance well-being and self-esteem and not cater for media-fuelled insecurities. Love yourself and others will follow.
Returning home after a long and tiring day at the office or out shopping, should it come as any surprise that the first stop sees you, me and most of our sisters back in front of our bathroom vanity cabinets? The day has taken its toll on morning's careful grooming, but here you are. Running a warm and bubbly bath might just recharge the inner batteries to full again. You can almost see all that weariness running down the drain with the suds.
Evening is the time of magic moments, to be spoilt rotten, the time when you escape
from the mundane to indulge yourself in good food, candlelight and incense and maybe just a touch of romance also. Single? Then romance yourself with a thick paperback from your favourite author or a DVD featuring that heartthrob actor you still have a crush on. Just before bedtime and a million sleepy eyed women turn one last time to their bathroom vanity cabinets for a dab of cleanser. Sweet dreams, till tomorrow!
