Hi gang, sorry for the delay between posts lately.  I've been in a bit of a funk mood-wise and have taken up decorative journaling (not writing) in loose-leaf binders to be exact.  I'm really loving it and I've found it's something I'm actually managing without becoming completely shattered.  I've been doing a little bit each day and that's obviously eaten into any time I would normally have spent blogging.  I can't do it all and as poor as my quality of life has been over the years, I don't think it's too selfish to prioritise something I'm finding really enjoyable.  Anyway, it doesn't look like I'm going to get caught up on these posts anytime soon (may live to regret starting so far behind, but at the same time a lot of the work had already been done so...), but here's anoth...

Life Lately: Week 3

I expected this post to be a little less mundane than usual, as I actually left the house and did something for once (nothing 'exciting' sadly).  I wanted to be really truthful about how that feels, but it's hard to put into words without sounding like a narcissistic moanbag!  I suspect I'll cut a lot of this out, but read on for a summary of that week.

Hello, I hope you're all keeping well.  We've gotten some much needed rain (the grass is green for the first time all Summer) and it's been a bit cooler (thankfully), so I've been able to sleep at night.  It's actually been feeling slightly Autumnal for brief moments and as we say in Scotland "the nights are fair drawing in" (means daytime is shorter/night is coming quicker), so it's time to shut the curtains and put the lights on earlier than usual.  Dare I say, I've been thinking of Christmas?  I keep getting emails about beauty advent calendar waitlists, so I think it's that, coupled with the change in weather!  Here's my round-up of lip combos and perfumes I've worn throughout the week.    

Life Lately: Week 2

Hello, here's my second weekly summary of what's been happening.  I wanted to post it last week, but I was busy doing other things and am trying not to beat myself up too much if blogging isn't as punctual as it should be.  Health-wise I'm at a point where I have to choose one thing or another, I can't do both, so I made that choice and I enjoyed what I was doing.  I'm genuinely so happy to have a few blog posts completed already, I wasn't sure I'd manage it, so I'm not putting pressure on myself to do more than I can.  I hope you're all coping as best as you can with the heat (I was actually in tears watching the fires on the news).  It had been cooler here recently, but unfortunately back to sweltering the past few days.  I know we're nowhere near the hottest in the country, but...

I'm back with my second 'Lip Of The Day' weekly round-up, catch my first post here if you missed it and if you're new to my blog altogether, welcome.  Here, I post which lip products and perfumes I've been wearing each day.  A little reminder that these posts are currently weeks behind and that I do sometimes wear older makeup (unless it looks or smells icky), as I like to use my products as much as I can.  That said, I tend to reach for balms, oils and glosses these days which happen to be more current.  I wear perfume throughout the day and most nights put on another before bedtime.  EDT stands for Eau de Toilette and EDP is Eau de Parfum.
