#BlogLife784 - The right scent can pick you off the floor..

A couple of things before I forget. I've been using the Clean and Clear moisturiser and for the most part it's fine but I notice some dry patches on my forehead, it's removing some of the moisture out of my skin.

I don't think I would recommend it. Also I saw some Heinz £2.50 hash browns filled with baked beans and that's a lovely breakfast item, for something different, they just need to be cooked well, maybe 20 minutes instead of 15.

It's a lil pricey but I have to admit, it's a big size and quite a lot in the bag so it's worth it, I only cooked one, to sample it and that was enough to fill me up, as well as having the minced bake.

Also because Iceland has been sold out of the creamy chicken bakes, not surprisingly, it's the best one in the range, I decided to try the beef one, as I can't keep eating the same things.

It's actually quite tasty and I seemed to tolerate it well, considering I'm not craving beef that much these days.

All the groceries are unpacked but they keep being sold out of the low fat coleslaw, which is a shame, maybe I should get the regular one?

I also completely forgot about the Radox bath soak, the new one, Sleep Aromatherapy..

I oiled my hair and rinsed it and it's very soft and bouncy, probably needs another trim though, looks a bit too full and scruffy but at least it's not completely flat, it definitely seems to have a fair bit of volume at the back, not the front though, pity.

The Radox had a stronger scent when I started applying it, I cannot pinpoint the fragrance, it's just pleasant.

I googlied it and it's chamomile and white valerian, plus other herbs, it's not sweet or sour really, a blend of the two maybe?

Apparently it's an apple or vanilla type of perfume but not to me. I found using it quite relaxing, I don't feel sleepy as such, just calm.

Pmt is still bad, can't stop feeling sicky and cramping. When I exited the shower/bath, the smell lingered on my skin, subtly, it's less pungent than the others but I don't mind it, I would recommend it.

I have an hour to kill before I have to leave for my UC appointment.

I've already done my hair and makeup and although it's 12pmish, and my tum is grumbling, I don't have an appetite.

I had an orange tictac to try and settle my belly and I think it helped actually.

I will eat properly when I return, sometimes food helps and others times, I just end up vomiting, I don't want to take the risk.

Last thing I'm really annoyed about, as I had time and there was light, I tried to do the Parissa eyebrow strips.

One whole strip for each eye, I rubbed them together for a while, peeled them apart and it didn't separate properly, ugh!!

It happened with both of them, they were unusable, I was so irritated, I had to bin them both.

I tried to pluck a bit, but there is a lot of stray hairs and I gave up and just did a heavy makeup look.

Foundation, powder, layers of red, pink and purple eyeshadow and just left it.

And looking at my clothes now, I see now, they are all baggy and too big for me but they are comfy.

If I ever can afford it and I need new outfits, I'll shop for smaller sizes.

I'm not dieting but with all the stress, my appetite has shrunk.

#BlogLife345 - Eyes closed, mind open

I'm usually facing the same thing every day. I want to write but I just feel so tired. Blogs are different to stories.

I feel I can write a post on auto pilot, very lil thinking needs to be done. I can rattle off a post easily.

But when it comes to composing fictional tales, I'm halting every few seconds and in two minds whether it's making sense or sounds good.

I'm gearing myself up to hanging up my clothes, which is such a simple task but I have lil to no energy to do it.

Everything is an exertion. I find it all taxing just trying to keep myself propped up.

That's the most difficult thing to explain to people. How small activities are thoroughly draining.

They can't comprehend it all. Last night I had 5 hours of sleep but I knew that I wasn't ready to get up so I got my phone, played a game, cast it aside and laid back down.

I was not expecting to fall back asleep but I was really happy when I got another couple of hours.

I don't feel lazy or guilty at all. My body craves rest. Normally I have to exist on those few hours.

Occasionally I will pop into town and stock up but after a few minutes of walking, I'm telling myself to hurry up because the enthusiasm has vanished and my body is screaming that it's overworked and near collapse.

Being home signifies safety, both emotionally and physically. I hate stepping outdoors but I know it's a necessity and sometimes it's actually enjoyable.

On a side note the Radox bath salts blend nicely and don't leave clumps behind, even though I'm using mostly cold water.

I don't find it as moisturising as the liquid form and neither is the scent as long lasting but I guess it will be better value in the end as I only shake it in a few times and there is a whole load left.

I'm also kinda gutted that is doesn't turn the water blue. It looked so pretty when it did that.

I got to switch out my brush head on my electric toothbrush. It's supposed to be changed every 3 months I think and the generic brands are just as good but ten times cheaper.

I buy a batch lot from ebay and amazon and they last quite a while.

I tried the Mr Freeze sugar free ice poles that were finally in stock. It's jarring at first as I'm used to the sugaryness of these lollies and ice poles but it's not half bad.

After having the really sugary milkshake and milk lollies I just wanted something healthier and this doesn't reek of sweeteners.

It's just a lot less syrupy and more fruity which I like as it tastes more natural.

I would buy it again as it definitely quenches the thirst.
