long time, no see



Hello lovelies - it sure has been a while!  I don't think I've posted in about a month, which feels like forever.  I've being really ill the past few weeks, pretty much bed ridden when I'm at home - there's certainly been no shopping or pretty clothes and make up to be shown.  I've still be going to work, but with my hair in a high messy bun or long plait, since I can;t be bothered, and just foundation and mascara - bronzer if I've been feeling particularly healthy.  I'm okay, but I just haven't had the energy (or inspiration) to blog about anything.

Wow, excuses excuses.

I've had a random burst of energy though, so I thought I'd get something down quickly.  I've got a BeautyBox haul (is that what you call them?) to do this evening and I might try and do a cheapsmells.co.uk haul tomorrow if I feel up to it.  I also placed an order at allwholesalecosmetics.com the other day, so that'll be up once I receive my beautiful package - I finally ordered Satin Taupe! So excited for that!

What else? Oh!  I can officially say that I have broken my horrible nail biting habit.  I attribute my success entirely to this blog.  I started trying to grow my nails about two or three months before my wedding - so January 09 - I wanted to have my nails long enough to have a classic French manicure on the day, but when it came to it, I had nibbled and ended up getting acrylics - or did I get gels? I can't remember.  I still wanted to try to break the habit, so I kept painting my nails to try and distract me from biting.  I hate the look of chipped polish, so I thought that might help deter me.  Then when I started blogging and taking nail of the day pictures I obviously didn't want readers to be looking at ugly, bitten down to the skin nails, so that was another reason to stop.  And it's worked! Last week I painted my very own nails with a French polish - and they have been long enough and strong enough to look good and last without the tips tearing or breaking.  The thought of biting my nails absolutely freaks me out now, so - success!!  I'm still working on chewing on my cuticles, but one step at a time.

I'm going out for high tea tomorrow afternoon, if I'm well enough, so hopefully I'll have a fun spring ensemble to show you.  Although it's almost Summer now.  I can't believe we're well into November already.  I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet - ugh.  I can't even think about dragging myself down to the shops.  Maybe I can get everything online. That's gonna take some major thought and planning though.

So that catches us up a little bit I think.  I'll try and get back to regular blogging, coz I do really enjoy it and have missed it these past couple of weeks. Just depends on if my body will allow it I guess! 

Enjoy your weekend, keep well, and I'll talk to you soon. xx
