A poignant memory with my grandparents

This memory - a one which I shared with specifically my grandmother, is very special and I remember it until this day. When I was very young, say 4 or 5, whenever my grandmother would stay with my family, she would cook dinner for us almost everyday. After cooking, she will go and take a shower because she will be very sweaty. Everyday, without fail, when my grandmother is showering, I would help her prepare her makeup bag for her to use when she comes out of the toilet. I still remember her makeup bag is a purple one, with flowery designs on the bag. My grandmother would come out of the shower with her hair wrapped up in a towel and I would always laugh at her as she looked hilarious that way. When she sat down on the bedroom floor to apply the makeup to her face, I would know the exact process in which she used the makeup, and would know to hand over the next bottle of makeup when she finished using the last one. I can still remember clearly that one bottle of makeup was a white Laneige moisturizer and she would use cotton pads to apply the moisturizer to her face. Even until now, she would always marvel at how I would know the exact process and I still find it amazing myself. This is the most special memory of me and my grandmother that I can recall.
