The idea of viewing beauty as ritual instead of decoration really shifts something. It stops being about performance and becomes more about presence, which feels particularly meaningful in winter when everything slows down anyway. I've been treating my morning routine pretty mechanically lately and this reminded me that i could actually make it intentional without adding more time or stuff to it
I love that this reminded you of those things! Beauty is such an interesting concept especially for women because we’ve been taught that our beauty must be for someone else and so it feels like work. But seeing it as ritual brings it back to something sacred and deeply soul nourishing.
