For nighttime the most unusual ritual ...

[Anna232]

When answering the question "What is most unusual nighttime or morning ritual?" can I use the parts marked by asterisks?

"*For nighttime* the most unusual ritual is when you see me *doing different beaty procedures*" wearing different face masks or when I *organize improvised beaty salon.* *For morning* the most unusual ritual is probably *breathing exercises.*

 

[Tarheel]

The word "nighttime" is in the question, so you don't have to repeat it. (You can if you want to, of course.)

Perhaps:

The most unusual ritual is me doing several different beauty procedures.

If it's something you don't usually do it doesn't really count as a ritual.

Can I use "For nighttime," "for morning" and "organize improvised beauty salon?" Or do they all sound unnatural?

What is most unusual nighttime or morning ritual?

Do you perhaps mean "What is your usual nighttime/morning routine" instead?
Note also the correct spelling of "beauty". Install an English spell-checker in your browser/text editor.
For the answers, write clear separate sentences. Do not use asterisks.

Sorry. These are the parts I was asking about. Do these sentences sound natural with "for nighttime/morning" and "organize an improvised beauty salon?"

1."For nighttime the most unusual ritual is me doing different beauty procedures."
2. "I organize an improvised beaty salon".
3. "For morning the most unusual ritual is probably breathing exercises".

1. "For nighttime, the most unusual ritual is for me is doing different/various beauty procedures."

See above.

2. "I organize an improvised beauty salon".

I don't know what you mean by that.

3. "For the morning, the my most unusual ritual is probably breathing exercises".

The phrase "unusual ritual" doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe you could just say it's something you don't ordinarily do.

I think "unusual ritual" is an oxymoron. Something that is unusual, if done repeatedly as a ritual, becomes usual, at least to you.

 

[Anna232]

See above.


I don't know what you mean by that.

I mean when I start doing that my room is turned into an improvised beauty salon. So it is still wrong, isn't it? I mean this part "I organize an improvised beauty salon."

 

[teechar]

"Unusual ritual" is not wrong, but note that "ritual" is a bit strong.
Try:

... wearing different face masks or when I *organize turn my room/bedroom into an improvised beauty salon.

When we talk about "bedtime rituals" we are talking about things we do every night before we go to bed.

You used the appropriate phrase in the opening to this post. Say "I turn my room into a beauty salon".

 

[Tarheel]

It's probably overstating things to say that you turn your room into a beauty salon.

 

[emsr2d2]

It's probably overstating things to say that you turn your room into a beauty salon.

If it's not already clear that they're being slightly sarcastic/humorous, they could use:
... I practically turn my room into a beauty salon!
... my room ends up looking like a beauty salon!
... people would think my room was a beauty salon!

(The exclamation mark helps to show the sentence isn't necessarily meant to be taken literally.)

The humor was lost on me.
