#BlogLife532 - Birthday tweetness

I wanted to say Good morning and how is your day treating you? But I got heavily distracted.

My body feels yucky but my mind feels care-free. I love shopping for others so I finished adding everything to Mama and me's gift basket and most of it will arrive on Sunday and the rest Friday.

The kitkat bundle confuses the heck out of me, first they say 20-22nd July which is really late as today is only the 12th and then my email just said it's been posted and here's the tracking number haha.

I think the longest a tracked parcel has been waiting to arrive is 4 days.

I'm not sure why there was such a big delayed estimated delivery but Mama's usually out during the week and Saturday's so hopefully they will arrive early when she's at home.

I originally wanted to try, kitkat, mint, orange, hazelnut and dark. I didn't have much choice, everything was massive bulk purchases so in the end I settled for...

Hazelnut, dark, orange and original for £12 which I didn't mind paying for.

I doubt we will consume it all and probably just give the majority away which I don't really care about, if it was ferreros then I wouldn't but I'm not a kitkat fan so that's why.

Then I was super happy because Amazon gave me discounts bahaha.

I know it's only £3 saving plus free delivery but I love a bargain. It was £21 altogether.

I bought Scottish homemade fudge (again not a fan), 2x bottles of rose non alcoholic wine.

2x bottles of sugar free dark berry tango, chocolate chip and hazelnut biscuits and ankle socks for me, although if she needs some she can take half.

I wanted to get the microwave popcorn but it was so pricey and none of the other things were in singles, like bombay mix or plantain chips.

I do like the fact that Amazon said you can keep adding to this order until Saturday and it will all arrive together.

I never knew that before. Skin wise I have two black marks on my face and I am having a mini pimple breakouts.

The new Himalaya face wash did not prevent them and doesn't seem to be removing them either, which is a shame because it's delightful to use.

I think I will go back to the L'oreal Fine Flowers after this to clear up my skin in the pink slim bottle.

I bought the Brompton House Apple Puffs 4x £1 a nice medium size and they are already cooked.

They are not as nice as the mini apple bites that Iceland has but they are fabulous value for money, considering how big they are.

It's soft pastry, sweet apple and cinnamon and tasty. It's only the tiniest bit bitter and not too sugary.

I would definitely recommend it.

#BlogLife510 - You can't catch me

Song of the day - Gwen Guthrie - Ain't nothing going on but the rent

I loved this song growing up, questionable gold-digger lyrics and I've just realised she's singing.... 

No romance without finance, not finest haha :D

It's the first day of June and still no period. I feel a lot less down than before.

The pain these past few days has been milder and the neighbours haven't been noisy like usual so I had a lovely lunchtime nap.

I put my phone display on to find I had a missed call from Dic. He probably wants an update...

I'm surprised he didn't email me and I was going to wait until the next appointment to update him.

I mean I could email or phone but I doubt he would answer so I honestly can't be bothered wasting my time.

I'm trying to work up an appetite for a late lunch but I don't feel like it, I was up early so I had something then.

An update on the Malibu lip balms, now that I am using them regularly.

They are better quality than my previous one, they tend to last longer until I wipe it off or have to reapply it after washing my face.

I so love the mint scent. I don't think it lasts a long time. I've forgotten to time it but the fact that it's mint chocolate and not sterile means I would get this flavour again.

My lips are way less chapped. Today seems the first time they have felt dry since I switched to this brand and that's because I applied it at 8amish I think and not since then.

I think the Ocufresh eye drops are also a new favourite. They are thin but not watery as such.

They are definitely re-wetting drops because they lubricate my eyes from being dry as soon as I start blinking they refresh me.

Eye drops are pretty essential for contact lens wearers, to maintain that comfort in a sensitive area.

I haven't seen my eyes steam up as much so I can't comment if they clear it up but next time they fog up, I'll let you know.

They do take away the itch and there isn't really any stinging. I find them more effective than other brands I have sampled.

I would definitely buy these again too. 

My face scars have noticeably either disappeared completely or faded.

The Nivea face wash is too thick but at least diluted with water it's better and not so heavy on the face.

The only negative is that my face doesn't stay cleansed, it feels oily/greasy after a while. I don't like that feeling.

The sweet flowery scent is delightful. My skin is free of pimples, even though I feel a bit hormonal.

I just have one scar on my nose which is annoying but I have to stop scratching it which is really hard to do.

I don't know if I would recommend it, maybe it's something you have to try for yourself..
