#BlogLife607 - Unrobed and unfocused

It's been a crazy morning. It's taken an hour for my lenses to focus.

I was just too sleepy. Yodel woke me up at 11am but I was in the deepest sleep, which is unusual.

It was due Saturday so I didn't set the alarm but I'm glad they came early.

I was so hazy that I went into the kitchen thinking I will chug some water and ended up downing neat, undiluted Ribena, ugh.

But I'm more alert now although I still can't tell if the trousers I ordered are silver or gold.

I wouldn't have ordered gold. I can't complain to customer services, until I figure it out.

The robe I am so thrilled with, it fits loosely, is thick and soo soft and snuggly. It feels velvety/veloury.

Plus the colour, a deep plum, it's gorgeous. They both weren't cheap but everyone deserves a treat at Christmas.

Now when I get up away from the blankie I have the dressing gown to keep me toasty.

I've only owned about two. One yucky towel white, one satin purple and now this.

I stopped wearing them. It seemed like a good idea at the time but then they remained in the wardrobe or behind the door.

It seems old fashioned, maybe like an 80's or 90's accessory but everytime I handle the fridge/freezer items, I get frozen again.

At least through winter, I can definitely see myself wearing it. It will be a challenge to fit it into the Overnight bag.

I will ask Mama if she wants me to buy her one, when she sees mine.

#BlogLife605 - Are you excited about Christmas?

Afternoony. I feel a whole lot better today. I forced myself to go back to sleep and not get up early and feel all the better for it :)

Plus what made me happy was checking my emails and the order has indeed been cancelled so I'm not stuck with something I wanted but in a yucky colour.

The purple shade was stunning, the rest were tacky. Oh I just saw a cheaper nicer one, so I got that and some trousers.

They should be arriving this week as it's only Tuesday today. Unless there are more complications..

I'm trying out the Mark's body mists day by day, to see which one I prefer but they have such strange names.

This is what gave me pause for thought. Spiced bergamot? I have that essential oil, strong and not that pleasant.

Then it was Pink pepper and Warm Neroli. I'm not sure about Neroli but Pepper as a fragrance?? Hmm.

But so far I think the pink pepper is my favourite, it's headier than the rest. Bergamot fades really fast and is weak but kinda musky.

Whatever they used to blend it, was genius. I can't give you any notes but I would get this again. I might wait for a discount though.

Like I said, I love them all as they are sweet but not sickly and tomorrow if I remember it will be the Neroli oil which I have a plan for.

I'm going to start using it on my dry skin areas. I tried it on my elbows and it instantly absorbs and sinks it, they feel soft already.

And possibly my tootsies as they dry out too. It's actually nice having an oil added. I don't feel cheated our of three mists because it's not messy, it doesn't leak it just disappears into the skin.
