This is an interesting topic. Many readers will identify with this ritual. It's earrings & Estee Lauder Youth Dew for me. You'll probably get others' reports too. That's kind of fun.

    Thank you very much for the lovely review and kind compliments. Ronni, you?re so beautiful, inside and out?that?s what I would tell my students that beauty truly was. It is not enough to be beautiful (outside) you must have it (inside: beautiful character, kindness and spirit) as well.
    Sending along my very best to you and yours as always,
    Sally XOs

I like your poem although it makes me a little sad for some reason. Since I retired I've fallen out of the habit of wearing make-up. I like perfume and sometimes I wear it. We don't go out much. Our church services are over Zoom and I don't dress up that much. Now I'm just sounding pitiful and I apologize. Your poem is lovely.

I have a question about your font. I like it but when I transfer my writing to this site, I can't change fonts, bold or underline. How do you do it?

    Thank you for the honest review. I understand. I used cursive font in advanced editor. You cannot copy and paste font. It must be created inside editor. I hope this helps.
    Blessings,

This is a side of you I have not before seen. I agree 100% with your statements about feeling more confident when you go to a bit of trouble to be more.
I try that, then dump it after it gets to be tedious. Very nice presentation...love the videos!

    Aw, thank you so much for the super kind review. I have rarely gone out in the sun for the last twelve years, which has helped my complexion. My retina specialist says the sun's rays will hurry my blindness along, so I live indoors. I still need a good night cream at 66, and drink lots of water.
    My beauty regime is simpler as I don't see as well. I still do it and always my perfume. Sending you my best today as always,

    Oh my. My one finger typing created a plethora of typos last night. I was tired... Sorry, but glad you got the gist of what I was trying to say! I have noticed night blindness increasing...it's unsettling! You are doing the best thing to preserve your vision...and your health!--Karenina

'A Lady's Ritual ', is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Delightful post and videos. You must be a beautiful and elegant lady if you have taught all these things! My "routine" is very speedy, and I don't use many of the products in the video, largely due to allergies. But even my application of perfume is wrong! I tend to rub!
Ah well, I can at least change that aspect!
Great post.
Wendy

Your ultra-concise poem is descriptive, appealing, and very expressive--conveying a message about special touches that are so important in completing the big picture.
