Tomorrow I'll be 26 (oh, God). To stop me freaking out about getting another year older, I've thought about all the things I can do this year. Some are silly, some are serious.
A Few Favourites
Buying Less Makeup
even after my cleaning out my stash two or three times a year, I still have enough makeup to fill up four drawers in my vanity table. And I'm not sure whether it's how overwhelmed I feel when I do my makeup in the morning, or being freelance and not knowing what my income will be like month to month, or simply because I no longer have acne and don't wear as much makeup anymore... but either way, I'm starting to feel like I have enough.
Irresistible Me Diamond Hair Styler* Review (with Discount Code)
I haven't dabbled with hair straighteners for years - I used them religiously back in High School, but since then I've embraced a bigger, curlier styler closer to my natural waves. When Irresistible Me reached out to me and asked if I'd like to try their tourmaline flat iron*, I was very keen to try them out to see if I could use them to try a different kind of look. I'm happy to report that hair straighteners have definitely upped their game since my school days.
On Repeat No. 3
This month I haven't been listening to many new releases (apart from one by Radiohead, which we'll talk about in a minute). Instead, I've been going backwards, going through all my favourite alternative albums from the nineties and noughties. I've been writing a lot this month, and this is the type of music that really helps me concentrate.
'No Makeup' Makeup Tutorial
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to makeup. To be honest, it's a miracle that I manage to look presentable at all - but for some reason, my makeup tutorials are quite popular and apparently a few of you missed them. To be honest, I get it, I love watching makeup tutorials as well (it's the whole reason I started watching YouTube videos, actually). So here's a nice, minimal one for Summer that anyone can do... even me.
