Make up & Jazz

My brother has recently wedded my sis in law. Having been cleaning the house till the wee hours of the morning, I woke up to find my brother's friends already in our house when my mom rushed into my room to wake me up.

From then till 1030am, it was a hectic rush as we do some last minute tidying up of the flat and getting ourselves prepared to face the hoards of relatives in the next few hours.

My mom who usually is unable to handle a crisis very well, got into a frenzy and was desperately trying to doll herself up in time. She rushed into my room and tried to quickly put on make up. I then looked at how she was not able to keep her cool while putting on her make up and immediately turned on some jazz music.

That is my favourite way to put on make up - in an unhurried way, in my air-conditioned room and with jazz music in the background.

Afterall, dolling yourself up should be done in a relaxed and almost self-indulgent way. That is the only way you will enjoy the process of making yourself look good and then look at yourself in the mirror and think: what a nice job I have done! It is almost therapeutic and the best thing is that I tend to walk out of my room feeling even better than how good I look :)
