I feel like I open every monthly favourites post with a recap of what happened. I'm not very creative when it comes to first sentences. In fact, I always agonize over the first sentence of every essay for hours. But yeah, March officially marked the end of the teaching hours that I have for my masters programme and it's flippin' scary. We only have a couple of revision seminars next term before exams hit. Yikes! Enough about the future anxiety-inducing events, let's focus on the beauty bits and bobs I've been loving the past 31 days.
I've been pretty good at controlling my emotional shopping the past couple months, writing down every bit of money spent really kicks you awake at realizing how often reckless spending happens. But after having a huge makeup clear out, I might have taken out a yellow legal pad and wrote down the pros and cons of purchasing these two items and sitting on it for a couple weeks before finally biting the bullet. *side note* Does anyone know the origins of this saying? Like was there a circus act that inspired people using "bite the bullet" to mean take the plunge? *end side note*
...and water and oils might not mix, but things have only gotten better after I added oils into my routine a couple years back. The harshest months might have already passed here in London and while some people are starting to put away, I still have a couple of old faithfuls in rotation.
HOW IS IT THE END OF TERM ALREADY? *insert panic attack here*
Anyway.
Since the last *bleep* you hear in my programme post went down so well, here I give you part two. I swear, I do learn things other than writing down nonsense my professors say. Ah right, I should put out a warning: there will be mentions of drugs. I would say it doesn't take up a lot of space, but let's face it, drugs are mentioned in every other sentence.
This is going to sound insanely stupid - but sometimes I buy things thinking that meh, I suppose it's okay. I'm not going to love it, but I won't hate it either. WHY NOT RISK GOING BROKE BUYING IT. Please don't ask me to explain it, I don't understand my logic 90% of the time. But this is also an opportunity for one to be pleasantly surprised - always better than being disappointed, right? Anyway, there are a couple of products that I have in my stash that I didn't expect to like that much but have turned out to be some firm favourites.
I would like to think I would be able to conquer the world if I put my mind to it - and most days, I am able to either lie to myself that I have everything in order or live in denial that all's right with the world and there's no such thing as question marks scattered through life.
Some of you might know that I was in Switzerland the other weekend. It was a whirlwind trip from start to end. This trip was initiated, discussed, and tickets were bought within 14 hours. I didn't realize that the trip was two weeks from the day that I bought the tickets till a couple hours after booking the plane tickets. The short waiting time turned out to be a great thing as I was more excited than a puppy running around its own tail for the trip.
