In high school and college I never wore make-up but as an actress and a blogger I spend a lot of time getting dolled up. One of the best ideas I’ve had this year was to set up a proper vanity for myself in our bedroom. It helps me slow down and enjoy the ritual of getting ready which used to feel like a chore. I actually like putting on make-up now that I’m indulging myself a bit. 

Tips For Setting Up Your Vanity

-Put your vanity in an area that gets natural light. You’ll know exactly what you look like when you step out the door.

-Any small table and medium sized mirror will do, mismatched items can look great together.

-Make sure there is an outlet nearby for blow dryers and curling irons if you use them.

-Make it pretty. I like to scatter fresh flowers, my favorite jewelry and decorative boxes around.

-Keep some truly indulgent items handy like an expensive lipstick or scented lotion. Just one nice thing can make you feel totally pampered.
