Hello!
It’s been a while since I last blogged.
To be honest, I don’t blog as much as I used to.
For those of you who know me well and have followed my blogging journey for a while, you’re probably aware that I’ve been blogging since 2013, but I’ve been running this blog since 2019.
But the blogging world isn’t what it used to be, and I really miss that. It’s such a shame to see that the old days of blogging are kind of over. I started blogging when I was studying full-time at university and I used to blog 2-5 times a week.
These days, my life is very different: I work a full-time job and I have adult responsibilities (rent, bills, grocery shopping, and so on). I’m lucky if I can find the time to blog at all. I’m normally quite tired in the evening and the weekends so I like to spend my free time doing chilled and leisurely things, like going for walks, reading a book, watching reality TV or listening to music.
I am currently re-evaluating my direction but I will always be a writer, so stay tuned… ;)
Shopping for fashion and beauty products
I’ve gradually started going out a bit more and doing more than the weekly shop at my local supermarket. I’ve been shopping a lot and ordering online. I recently signed up as a member at H&M, which comes with some perks.
Plus, I reordered the Glossier BoyBrow and I finally tried the Glossier’s Skin Perfecting Tint (in the shade G2) which gives my face a dewy glow and flawless coverage. And as always, as a member of Beauty Pie I can spend on beauty products without paying recommended retail prices.
A beauty retailer worth mentioning...
Rich Skxn is a beauty retailer that sells skincare for melanin rich skin. Check it out!
Resting and relaxing
If you read my previous blog post discussing my feel good habits, then you will know that resting is very important to me. I love to relax and chill out.
I’ve been struggling with stress recently, but the good thing is that there are ways to manage this, such as wellness apps and finding activities that make me happy.
One of the things I mentioned that I like to do is play games on my phone and I have loads of them: Temple Run 1&2, Alien Shooter, Wordscapes, Beach Buggy Racing, Table Tennis, Spider Solitaire and Solitaire!
Solitaire.org is a website where you can play Solitaire for free and you can play other games as well, such as Mahjong, Crazy Eights, Tennis, etc. Solitaire’s one of my favourite games - I like to play during my downtime and I’ve been enjoying using the site. I think the navigation can be improved, but overall, the game’s fun to play in my spare time and the website’s pretty good, so check it out. And I always win!
