DIY and beauty are both reoccurring themes on this blog, because I have a passion for both and love to share them with you guys. I have actually made an attempt before at my own home made beauty products (including this lip scrub) and found it so much fun!
Has anyone noticed that I hadn't published a post on here for like three or four days? I've no idea if anyone would even notice me going quiet, but in case you have; thank you! So where have I been? Well to be honest, I've been hibernating away! My workload this week has been NUTS. Like, seriously... I have barely come up for air. I can't say I'm moaning though, because I've been enjoying some creature comforts this week.
Spending half my time tucked in bed, fluffy dressing gown on, writing/drawing away all day and night; it was a pleasure when I received a special parcel from Getting Personal. It was a surprise that arrived just on time to be honest, as it was filled with amazing things to make me feel special as I hibernated.
Whatever being a girl means to you, there's no denying it has it's ups and downs being female in this world today. Sure all the Beyonce's and Taylor Swifts in this world can make us feel fierce and all full of that girl power thing; but every now and again it's just pretty shit.
Here's some things that suck (for me), being a lady (lol, lady...)
1. Periods.
Okay, let's get the obvious one out of the way quick shall we? Bleeding for a week every month sucks, and there's not much to make up for that. Sure we can inhale all the chocolate we can get our hands on, and appreciate the miracle of nature (hmmff..), but it's basically hell being a girl during that week. Getting your period is something to be grateful for, and I'm sure many of us have had a sigh of relief when it's come at one time or another (ahem), but it's like winning the worlds shittest lottery isn't it? And don't even get me started on the tampon tax...
I feel like I've really found something I love, doing custom portraits for people. Lately they're my favourite thing to tackle on my to-do list. I get to spend a lot of time doing some cool things; designing blog headers for people, custom graphics for various websites (I've had some great opportunities lately!) and handling social media for people. However among all this, if I have a custom portrait lined up, I'm usually way more excited for this than anything else. THIS. IS. MY. JAM.
If Wednesday Addams had grown up and gotten into makeup; I feel like this would have been her palette of choice. It's the Makeup Revolution 'Give Them Nightmares' palette, and it's my new favourite thing in my makeup collection.
I'm pretty sure this palette has been out a while, and I just missed the boat with this one. However when I was browsing Superdrug a few weeks ago, I spotted this baby on offer for only £4 and I lost my shit. Maybe I'm exaggerating? But either way, I got excited.
I love Makeup Revolution anyway, but their palettes are always especially amazing. This one is absolutely perfect for Autumn/Winter, and screams goth. Perfect for my latest hair eh?
Dorkface: The name is a clue right there. I'm not even one of the 'cool without trying/super techy gamer people' (what a terrible description), no; I'm just a dork. I like some things, and I obsess over some things. I thought I'd try cram some of them into a blog post, because it's this big part of my life that doesn't get represented on my blog as much as it should! So here are some things that make me a little bit dorky...
I mean really? I swear five minutes ago we were all like, 'Woo! Spring!'
I'm not complaining though, because the end of the year is my favourite time of year mostly. I'm so happy to say that as I sit in my office typing this post out, I'm wearing the fluffiest pjs and dressing gown ever (see above photo) and I feel like a cloud. Outside the window it's pitch black, and so foggy I can barely see across the road; even though It's only 6pm. I love these dark nights and cold mornings.
Anyway, I thought I'd check in with you guys, since the past two days have been quiet on this blog for me, which is really strange. I usually don't go more than a day without posting; but I've been busier than ever.
