Getting older… and hopefully wiser

September 28, 2009 Paris B 24 Comments

Look what I found while combing my hair last night…

A pure white hair!

Admittedly it isn’t the first I’ve ever found on my head but coming on the cusp of turning a year older it is a nasty reminder of age catching up on you. It was so traumatizing I had to go lie down 😛

So excuse me if I’m feeling a little blue 😛 *drama queen*

    Aw Paris don’t be blue! 🙁 This is completely normal! Think of it as a complete new chapter in your life! (Not sure about your age but a new birthday is always the start of something special :))
    Hope you feel better, love!

    Paris, I have been colouring my hair for so long, I don’t really know how much gray I’ve got!!

    Besides, this is an opportunity to experiment with cool hair colours!!

      Yeah I know – I’m only glad my hair usually goes blonde/gold instead of white for now 😉

    I have quite a few white hair myself. It’s normal, don’t worry Paris. And you can always dye them and experiment with colors. Happy birthday!

    PB, I’ve found a couple of white hair myself, and I don’t blame the age, I blame stress 🙂 And with your work? I’m sure its because of stress 🙂

      Hey Nikki

      You know what? That might be it too! Stress is terribly aging.

    Definitely stress if its around this age. You were probably thinking too much about something.

    Don’t be blue Paris! You’re far from old lah!
    I started graying in my early 20s…but who cares!
    Only problem is I have to constantly dye my hair which is a pain!! Total genetics on my end, since my dad was graying in his teens–shocko.

    Happy Birthday dearie!!!

    Well. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been having white hair since I started working. Serious. So, it’s been.. what, 4 years I’ve been having white hair?

    But yea, I screamed my lungs out too, the first time I found a strand. Now it’s like, “Bah. Humbug!” LOL.

    Aww PB 🙂 White hair can be cool too! Plus it’s a right that one usually has to earn slowly with respect and dignity through the journey of life.

    If it makes you feel less traumatized, then I won’t be shy to admit that I’m barely 20 and I’ve had strands of white hair popping out here and there since my teens 😉

    Mine’s likely a combi of stress and genetics… although I don’t know why a gal who hasn’t even started the horrors of working full time has to put the blame on stress 😛

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪
Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam ( Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam (night market). Popped by the one in SS2. Frenetic. Crowded. Lots of food and drink. Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂
Will have to admit that this serum from @drsambunt Will have to admit that this serum from @drsambunting had me curious about Azelaic acid. It’s a pretty good serum for brightening if Vit C isn’t quite your thing. It’s a 4-in-1 combo of pretty potent ingredients.

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
