As a girl I have a tendency to romanticize things that a man never would. Case in point...while shopping on Etsy I found the greatest shaving kit for men; complete with shaving soap, shaving brush & after shave. To me there's just something classic about a man lathering up his shaving brush with soap out of a cup. It seems so romantic...so Gregory Peck. I wanted to buy it as a gift but I wasn't sure so I asked a guy friend of mine (shout out to Matty D) what he thought of the idea. He told me when it comes to shaving guys just like to get in & get out. He said he won't even buy shaving gel because he doesn't want to wait for it to become foam. So much for romance.
Girls, however, are just the opposite. Sure we have our daily rituals down to an exact science, but we also relish the time it takes to spoil ourselves. We like to indulge in a nice hot bath from time to time. We'll dig in the back of the bathroom closet for the bubbles, oils, tonics, sugar scrubs, salt scrubs, face masks & bath bombs. Then we line them up in a deliberate order according to stages of use. It's just a little somethin' special for the ladies.
Tonight I came home in a bit of a mood. So I played my bath card & gathered all the accouterments & hauled them to the downstairs bath. In my head I was going to relax with the lights down, candles lit & a new magazine...but mostly I just thought about my blog & texted Sarah. But that's ok because that's what it took for me to wind down. (thanks Sally Woo)
So girls, pour some wine, break open your vetyver & bergamot scented oils & fill the tub. It's ladies night.
p.s. Let the record show, I'm still so in love with
this shaving kit from
orangefuzz I'm totally buying it anyway.
