![]() ![]() Miracles have been promised youth restored by tubes and vials and small glass jars that I blithely and enthusiastically put on my department store credit cards, urged on by perfumed saleswomen whose main sales technique is to stare appraisingly at my face (devoid of any product) and declare me a candidate for much improvement.Īs a writer, I am seduced by the words on these products. These bathroom drawers themselves are like an archeological dig into my flaws and their potential remedies. Into one of the bottom drawers in my bathroom vanity. ![]() I buy “product” (moisturizers, skin treatments, entire makeup lines), and then in a frenzy of self-improvement I use the “product” once or twice, at which point it goes where all product goes to die. In the olden days of the past 50 years or so, my “beauty routine” has been remarkably consistent. Many of us are looking in our bathroom mirrors more than we ever have in our lives. A lot of us are trying things for the first time - baking bread, cleaning baseboards, flossing every day, cutting and coloring our own hair. ![]() Maybe not those of you with small children at home - who rarely even get to go to the bathroom alone - but the rest of us are doing some really odd things to fill our days. One weird side effect of this extended period of time sheltering in place is that many of us are spending more time looking in our mirrors. ![]()
