Self-Care 201: Boxes of Promises to Pick Between

by Sarah Goettsch

OPTION A Sweet Dreamer     OR OPTION B (a) Pink Goddess

“Who says every day “It’s rumored that Aphrodite
can’t be had an affinity
Halloween?” for beets.”
(pumpkin chariots aren’t only for princesses) (root vegetables are so deep)

Each cream 3x3 box sits propped on a countertop nicked near useless, 
next to an avenue tube of lipsticks, floss wisps, rattle cans and tight-postured pill bottles. 

Pick one. Pick a face of rejuvenation, decoration, aspiration. 

curcurbita pepo powder beta vulgaris plus
plus marsh’s mallow,   OR witch’s hazel, hibiscus,
clay’s kaolin n rhassoul, clay’s rose n Moroccan,
coconut, and arrow’s root flower powder

Directions: 

Apply & combine 1 tsp dry mask with 1 tsp liquid of your choice. 
(we do not recommend the whiskey you’re sipping)

Select, measure, and mix. 

Now plaster, pat, dampen and swipe all 
but the pucker, the plucked, the blinking and the breathing holes.

Then set. 
(now you can sip) 

After a dimes length, imagine the new you. 

When the ringer dings, wet and whip a cloth cross your face. 

Squint in at the dreamer, princess, goddess, the unchanged 
rooted radiance of you. 

(here’s to mud in your eye, babe. cheers.)
