Der Tag, an dem die Schönheitsgeheimnisse meiner Nonna in meinen Besitz kamen, war ein Tag der Realitätsprüfung meines Aussehens. Ich war mitten in einem vollen Terminkalender bei der Arbeit und erinnere mich, wie sehr ich mir gewünscht hätte, mit all dem Lärm und den Papierbergen und den vorbeikommenden Leuten mit endlosen Fragen fertig zu sein. Ich wollte nur das kleine handgeschriebene unbezahlbare Geschenk halten und mich von meinem wachsamen Chef wegschleichen. Als ich auf dem Heimweg war, halb geistesabwesend in einem Taxi saß, begannen Erinnerungen wie Meereswellen in meinem Kopf zu rollen. Ich erinnerte mich an einen schönen frühen Abend …

The day on which the beauty secrets of my Nonna came into my possession was a day of the reality test of my appearance. I was in the middle of a full schedule at work and remember how much I would have liked to be ready with all the noise and paper mountains and the people passing by with endless questions. I just wanted to keep the small handwritten priceless gift and sneak away from my watchful boss.

When I was on my way home, half a mind -down in a taxi, memories like sea waves began to roll in my head. I remembered a nice early evening in the back yard of our country house in Italy. As a young girl, I rocked in the air, and all my senses were filled with the sweet, intoxicating fragrance of roses, sage, calendula and lavender. The sun, which quickly removed from the horizon, threw a gentle glow behind the olive trees, like a Renaissance painter who had found the perfect color combination to express the magic of light. In the middle of my floating between the essential world of imagination and the abundance of nature, I discovered my Nonna, which sat in the garden like a huge rabbit and snapped leaves and herbs for the "beauty drinks" that she manufactured and sold our city cheaply. She had balm for every beauty mood and every desire to beauty a woman could invent, and she was an expert because it was always a visit to the house.

The taxi driver announced that we had arrived, and suddenly I felt a pressure crawled into my heart. To be honest, I feared the moment when I had to re -evaluate my appearance, and this moment was there, like a brick wall, and there was no place around the world where I could hide and do nothing other than deal with reality. Now!

With a deep sigh, I grabbed the magnification mirror. Now I know from my friends Anna and Lizetta, with whom I drink espresso once a week that the magnification mirror is the worst nightmare of a woman. I kept the mirror and said: "Mirror, mirror in my hand, show me how much I have to spend. I looked into the mirror and mamma mia, a huge, plump creature that seemed strangely known to me, stared at me with the look of a judge who wanted to say:" If we do not see from your best side, we will find your reflection guilty with a big G! "

Yes, it was time to act. "I open the book, I thought, and the recipe that I see first would be the right thing for the moment."

"Wait, child, wait, I heard Nonna's voice in my heart. First you have to relax. How about gentle music and a fragrant candle? And open the window. Then get a blanket."

done! I was ready. I held the book to my heart and closed my eyes. Immediately I became the earth and the sky and all the flowers and herbs and all the golden sunsets. Oh, and the smile of my Nonna.

I share the mask with you when I opened your book.

rejuvenating mask

ingredients:

1 egg yolk (ha ha ha) but it's true!

¼ teaspoon of organic olive oil

¼ teaspoon of lemon juice or other fruits are sufficient Wash your face, but do not dry. Apply the mask and keep it away from your eyes and upper lip. Relax on the couch and listen to gentle music. Do not make calls and do not see this mask a comedy on TV. Hold for 20 minutes. Then wash your face with cold water. Use a soft, damp cloth to fully remove the mask.

Then look in the mirror!
