Make up free days/Looking after my skin

I have always had sensitive skin and so means I can't use soap based products, because of that. Showers Gels I am okay with but if they are fragranced free or soap free they do leave my body feeling revitalised rather than dry. 

The products that have always helped is Nivea and Simple, E45 skincare, but now have started to use Boots No7 and the night cream I use of that range is called Essential Moisture, Night Cream and it really does help my skin and so would like to use some more of the No7 products. 


It is Wednesday in the week and I like doing Make up free, aswell as putting it on and will use my tub of Nivea and Boots Glow Mist, when I don't put any on, and this really helps my skin a lot, as I wash when I do wear make up using a Flannel and Hot water and then use my Nivea and my night cream and my skin feels so soft the next day. 

I do have make up removal wipes but try not to use these all of the time and I think once I used the pack I have got, not use them anymore, as I find they can irritate my skin a little and leave my face still dry. 

There a lot of products out there for the skin, and I see people using 3 to 5 products and that adding up is expensive so I shop by budget and I'd like to try high end but would like to use up what I already got first and I don't like wasting on things I am not going to use. 

I do choose wisely and for the face definitely have to take care off as this is where my dry skin can be visible which I try to avoid as it can feel rough and not look very nice. 

I do like using Sanctuary Spa and they have orangey texture but feels so good to use on my body and skin and really feels so hydrated and this is so important when it comes to skincare and practicing self care.

So what products do you use and recommend? Leave a comment below. 

Many thanks for reading,

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break...

Finding a decent coffee

Image
I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now ...

Being 45 and growing

Image
 As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being a child, because I saw being an adult, it meant that you had more freedom than being a child. Being 45 seemed a long long milestone and now I am 45, gotten to a place where I am okay with my life, and that I have come a long way to feeling good about myself and that I am no longer fearful compared to when I was a kid. I did have a good childhood and feel very lucky with the things I have done through out it, like holiday's in Clacton and Menorca, and seeing shows up London and visits to London Zoo, Chessington Zoo before it became a Theme Park, and it was just the zoo, and getting my ears pierced up London and spent time seeing my grandparents.  There was a time I liked to go out all the time and meet friends for a drink and get plastered. Not so much now, and like having the odd drink, but no over do it. Its alright going out partying but you have to think about getting home safely and I think you become more protective especially be...
