#BlogLife1087 - Heatwave or pmt making me nauseated

I've just finished the Simple face wash that dried out my skin and now I am onto the Garnier Vitamin C cleanser.

That lasted me just over a month.

Umm, it's not what I thought it would be. There is no scent sadly, I expected a lovely citrus, but nothing.

I also assumed it would be a gel but no, it's a yellow thickish cream, ok, let's go with it..

I put it on the face brush and spun it, it didn't lather and sat heavy on my skin, maybe my face or the brush wasn't wet enough?

But when I rinsed it off, easilyish enough, my face felt deeply cleaned and really soft.

It's only the first use and I don't need a moisturiser but I applied it anyway and that felt extra refreshing.

Hmm it does not play nicely with the face brush, I have to stop using it with it.

It keeps going into my eyes, and they are already sensitive so I am better off mixing it with water, softening it and then scrubbing my face with it by hand.

I cannot afford to damage my eyes before I put my contact lenses on or even while they are in.

What do I now, which isn't ideal, is to apply directly on my face and then use the face brush afterwards.

It's not really satisfying that way but sometimes it does lather up, the end result is the same, soft smooth skin.

A few faint pimples but I think the dryness has gone, although the cause, might be from something else I was using.....

We shall see how long it lasts and if I still like it, later on.. Now what to have for brekkie/lunchy?

That triangle baklava/baklawa might be my favourite, lil syrupy, very nutty mush flavour.

Ahh the plain one, the second one I tried was a lil dry, so finally a flaw, but it's a nice selection for the price.

I'm starting to think it's worth the £2.50. I'm sure when it was introduced it was double that price, maybe no-one bought, so they lowered it and it's going down like hotcakes now..

I feel like I'm getting more messages on 7 Cups, now that I've written I'm not taking on chats.... What??

I even had one today, that I already politely responded to with, sorry I'm not available and they ignored me and said Hi, again...

WTF!! I hate rude people! How do you not respect someone being nice and well mannered to you?

I didn't respond. If you want to be a fool to me, I'll treat you the same way!

Talking of fools, I blocked P, 3ish days of being ghosted, I think that was generous, for me to wait this long.

It might not seem long but feels like an eternity waiting. Meh..

I gave chances but for whatever reasons he continued to ignore me, so be it.

#BlogLife865 - Guilty, I have a confession..

*Looks at you with Bambi innocent eyes, trying to soften you up*

Didn't work huh? Not even a lil bit?

Alright, I tried my best to keep using the Clean and Clear and Fixderma beaded face washes but they kept suffocating my skin, causing breakouts and leaving residue on my face.

I caved, binned them and bought the Simple 150ml £2.50 face wash from Iceland instead.

It's not my favourite, I don't feel it does anything below the surface but I was desperate and the other reason is, the washes are clogging up the drains.

I keep having to put hot water and washing up liquid down it, as it's draining slowly.

That cemented it. Hurrah no beads, it's just clear, thickish, faint almost a grapey scent, it's nice.

And my skin finally feels refreshed and lighter. It doesn't wash off easily but next time I'll probably just use less of it.

My face is quite smooth, I probably wouldn't use a moisturiser afterwards, although I tend to put mine on prior as you know, because I have combination dry and oily skin.

It needs to breathe and be as empty as possible, without layers of anything.

I don't mind makeup when I go out but indoors, it's nothingness, just moisturiser in the morning and night sometimes.

Ahh I finally got some sleep on Saturday night, I did wake a few times but there was large chunks of sleep so I feel refreshed.

On Friday night there was none, so all day I was a zombie. Last night in between one of the random wake ups..

This fresh original themed story popped up. I desperately wanted to write it down but I was too drained to move or open my eyes.

It actually has a mature theme but I don't know if I could write that bit.

There was maybe one chapter's worth of material. I should not focus on a new story when other's remain open.

It was exciting for me to have a new idea come to life. It's not blog material, I don't even think I would put it on wattpad.

If I was more comfy and knew how to do it seamlessly, I might even consider dictating it onto a file and uploading it somewhere.

It flowed in my head, that was rare, all the conversations seemed natural, that's the hardest bit for me.

I'm not sure about the title but the rest of it seemed interesting, maybe it won't hurt to see if I can write it as a draft, see if there's anything there, while it's fresh.

I don't even know if I can remember the details and it's a Bank Holiday weekend, I'm supposed to be relaxing..

I have made a start on it, it's in my drafts, plus I registered with the website that I would probably upload it too.

That's progress, maybe I'll connect with new writers who struggle too?
