Glamour Magic ￨ Autumn Rituals

Have you ever given thought to the beauty rituals you participate in? Are these daily practices enjoyable to you? Or are they societal expectations that you’ve simply accepted as part of your life? What if we could define beauty for ourselves? To some, glamour magic involves changing your appearance so that others perceive you more favorably. However, glamour magic can also be used as a means to deepen your personal expression and how you see yourself. With a brisk walk, some steam, a little pumpkin spice, and a healthy dose of intention we can conjure up a bit of glamour magic on our own terms. As we crunch through the autumn leaves, imagine a life where you create your personal brand of beauty. What am I reading?The Lollipop Shoes  The Girl with No Shadow by Joanne Harrishttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780061431630The Little Book of Cottagecore: Traditional Skills for a Simpler Life by Emily Kenthttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781507214633https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat’s playing on repeat?Cherry Lips by Garbage  What’s for dinner? Overnight Savory French ToastIngredients:6 large eggs2 cups milk1 tablespoon Dijon mustardSalt and pepper1 tablespoon olive oil Onion¼ cup chopped chives1 loaf French or Italian bread or Challah bread 6 ounces Gruyère cheese, shreddedTurkey bacon Instructions:Sauté onions in olive oil until golden brown.
