Well, hello again cyberworld! I've decided to try blogging again. Not really sure why. I think i just need an outlet for the weird stuff in my head. So if no-one ever reads it that's ok. I just sometimes need to let things go and writing thoughts down helps me to do that.

So, weird unsettled weekend but kind of all come to a natural conclusion now. So I feel good!! I just wish I had another couple of days of weekend - definitely need to get yesterday back!

But I have done a bit of sorting which always feels fantastic. After attending a skin care party Friday night (at which I very suddenly vomited - totally bizarre and part of the cause of the lost weekend) I decided to sort out my stash. I didn't buy anything at the party. God knows the last thing I need is more toiletries! I delved into my bathroom cabinet to sort through my basket of skin care products. OMG!!! I don't even buy very much and yet still there was way more than I could possibly need. There was quite a bit of Clinique, which I'm pretty sure I haven't bought since moving to Bunbury 18 years ago. Well past its use by date!! And this was after a major cull when we moved house a few years ago. I distinctly remember thowing out bags of stuff from the bathroom. Then there was all the Body Shop product. I kept all of that - and rediscovered some fantastic goodies which I hadn't used in years. And then the Nutrimetics - expensive stuff to be sitting all unused in a cupboard. I gave some of it a bit of a go, but not sure if I really like it. Might hang on to it for another 10 years or so.....

But this did get me thinking that I really should not be so lazy with my skin care regime. I normally just slap on some moisturiser with sunscreen in the morning. And that is it. No facial cleansing (just water), no toning, no priming, no make up. Seriously, why would you even invite me to a cosmetics party? Actually, I own every product you could want. In multiples. I just am too damn lazy to use them. So, it is time to start using this stuff to clear it out of my cupboards. And if I don't like it when I use it I vow to toss it!

I also went out today and bought a few essentials. I bought a new foundation, mascara and lip moisturiser. I bought some non-slimy sunscreen for my face. And I bought rose hip oil, which I am hoping will halt the ever increasing signs of aging on my face.

So, I may not have bought anything at your 'party' Brooke, but I did sort out my cupbards. And I plan to USE the goodies in there. I know that wasn't exactly your plan - sorry :)
