#BlogLife595 - Tell me your fears?

Song of the day - Mary J Blige - All Night Long

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCF9C10sVqQ&list=WL&index=41

I think I woke up at 10ish properly and it's now 1pm and the cramps and nausea have finally stopped.

A horrible morning but blocks of sleep and I had a very creative evening, last night.

I've started vocalising my thoughts on Twitter and it helps the writers block and makes me feel less burdened so last night I wrote nearly two chapters of last year's Christmas story.

I have no idea if it will be finished for this year but I feel more comfortable with the direction, although once again it's changed.

At least I had a way to develop it and what the initial conflict should be.

The Weekender bag and my slippers have been posted already which is nice but only the bag gave me a tracking number.

Oh, my lippy is also on the way, most of it is due by Royal Mail, aka the regular Postie.

I hunted but I've now finished the Perfectil bundle. I think it was 3 or 4 months supply and I'm happy to have a break from it.

My hair is in better condition but I do cut it every month-ish and at least 3 inches get trimmed easily.

Before when I had long hair, it took ages to grow back. My nails are not stronger but they are growing fast too.

My skin is the same, up and down with the moisture and dryness at the moment it seems back to normal.

Ugh the bloody neighbours have been banging all freaking morning.

I hate them!! Ugh they have finally stopped. I started the Christmas film binge.

First up is The Flight Before Christmas with Mayim and Ryan. It's a romantic comedy about timing and second, third and fourth impressions.

#BlogLife551 - Friday's Dance Party Females

Song of the day - Enisa - Blame It On Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV-2mw6cxYM

I was just searching for what to add for Song of the day and this popped up in the recommendations and I liked it.

It's been a rough start to the day but I'm happy you're here to keep me company :)

I felt so sick this morning it felt like I was going to bring up all my internal organs.

My stomach won't settle completely. A nap would help but I'm not tired enough for it to take.

I'm in limbo so I thought let's have a weekend party. Of course it all centres around nibbles and drinks, like any celebration should.

Lucozade, lemonade, mini steak pastry puffs, cheetos and niknaks. I'm not the biggest fan of steak but I like these.

Plus for dessert we have Black Forest Gateau, feel free to gobble all the cherries, I usually bin them.

I read somewhere that morning sickness could be linked to lack of sleep and if so it makes sense, with the couple of hours I get.

*Nappus Interruptus*

Sorry fell asleep. I was up at 7amish to get the groceries. The nap helped a bit but everytime I munch I have to quickly play the anti nausea video instead of music.

Maybe I'm not drinking enough? Although I have been sipping quite a bit.

Ahh I'll try the citrus drinks, that's supposed to be soothing.

First things first, how was your week?

Uh huh? You didn't expect that? I didn't either, so what he say? What did she say? Realllly. Hmm.. Go on...

That's it. Alright, well thanks for keeping me informed on your latest gossip :)

Eventually I started feeling better but physically it was a rough time on my body.

My mind was a lot better. I discovered some new music, a new, well new to me Turkish drama.

Sunday I had a one day period, after two months of skippage. It used to be that the periods were worse than the symptoms and now it's the other way around.

It's past 2pmish and I haven't eaten yet but I will soon. I ended up buying Mama the same phone stand as me.

I asked her if she would like one as she actually does a lot of zoom and video and whatsapp calls.

And I've never in my life done a video call. I just bought it to stop picking up my phone as much and ease the pressure.

You know when there's a lot to say, but your brain goes blank? That's me at the moment.

Oh that's what I was going to talk about. I was wondering if the Perfectil multivitamins were started to make me feel nauseated.

That was an all day sickness event and my stomach wouldn't let anything stay down.

But I think it's more the pmt related nausea because I am coming up to a month I think and I didn't experience any symptoms for the first two weeks.

In fact it gave me an energy boost. I think it picked up my mood as well.

It didn't help with the hormonal acne, I did break out a lil but with the mud mask, I think they are all fading now.

My scalp has started to go dry again. I'm eventually going to start investing in the Vatika conditioners.

I still have leftovers, that's why I'm not purchasing any. Just to clarify, I'm not dating anyone.

I don't sleep around. I just thought it was funny that I didn't have a period for two months and then I accidentally get someone else's pregnancy test.

If I was dating, I would have so many scares but then again. I've never done the unprotected thing, so maybe not?

I for once, have no nausea today so let's dance dance dance, while I make some cheesy toasties or whatever else you fancy..

*Cue the hip swings woop*

#BlogLife542 - Does garlic shampoo smell of garlic?

Friday morning I think it was, I woke up and felt weird, like I was all twisted up.

It turns out I've injured my back or shoulder or both. I think I slept funny or hurt it carrying too much on my right side.

If I'm still, there is no pain but the moment I fidget and get up, ouchy.

I didn't want to lay in bed this time and heal up, I just wanted to get on but not do any exercise or extra exertion.

It's too warm to apply heat but I had the blankie over me with the fan blasting in my face, to see if would help.

No joy and now my right hand is really tender. I'm completely fed up with the sensitivities but life goes on.

I'm so glad I chopped my hair short as I was sweating all night and it's nice that my neck is free to breathe.

Mama hasn't tested the massage mat yet so I don't know if I've wasted money on a dud item.

Ooh she just called me and told me it works well and it's enjoyable to use. I'm so relieved wooop :) 

And she said her injection treatment seems to help and the pain has decreased which is fantastic.

I got selected to do a private product test which is nice, as I haven't done one in ages, that should be fun if it arrives, some just get lost or pilfered.

I'm waiting for the Postie to arrive so I can make breakfast/lunch. I don't usually hear anything from the kitchen.

It's a bit soon though. Everything has been posted except the protein tablets for my contact lenses, I split with Mama and give her a box too.

It is so humid today. I'm going to take a tepid shower/bath and then rest up.

A mini update on the Perfectil supplements, I know I haven't been taking them long but so far no horrible side effects.

I don't feel sicky. I haven't started an excessively heavy period or one at all actually.

So far so good. These don't usually affect me and I'm glad not to be feeling any worse.

I do seem to have a lil extra energy boost. I don't feel as tired. My nails are growing quickly but they tend to do that anyway.

I've just had a nice cool shower/bath and used the Vatika garlic shampoo and can confirm it doesn't smell of garlic.

It's this sweet chemical scent which is nice. It's a thickish white consistency, applies and lathers easily and also rinses well.

I don't blow dry my hair and prefer to wrap it in a towel and leave to dry naturally but prior to that I applied some leave in conditioner.

It wasn't as painful as I thought but there's still discomfort when gripping anything and leaning on my right side.

I wanted to put the heating on, just to keep the boiler going and accidentally turned it way high, instead of low, yikes no wonder I felt so humid.

Yeesh it was a good job I double checked to see if it was off.

I got to admit I did use a rinse out conditioner with it so my hair and scalp feel intensely nourished.

I'll let you know in a week or two if anything changes.
