Hello Hello peeps! 😀
We haven’t had a good ol’ chat in a while have we? I just checked my archives and the last time I ran a MWS Cafe chat was back in 2013. What the….?!
Well, let’s remedy that 🙂
If you are wondering what this Cafe business is, no, I’m not opening a cafe and most certainly am not opening a cafe at the foot of snowy mountains! 😀 Goodness, I’d drink all my profits, I’m sure! Instead, it’s a little break in routine, for you to pull up a chair and join us around the figurative table for some good ol’ chit chat. New to the cafe? You’re in for a treat!
MWS Cafe day is a day when I sit here and “chat” with you in the comment box in almost real time. If you have a question you want to ask, now is the best time to do it, and you won’t have to wait 2 weeks for your answer as I get round to replying comments LOL! It’s also a good time to just chat around with other readers who pop by from time to time to share their thoughts in the comments. From past experience, I’ve learned that you, readers of MWS, are what keeps the blog ticking with your insightful comments and also helping other commentators out when I can’t 🙂
If you don’t know where to start, how about sharing:-
- your favourite foundation?
- what sucky product have you used recently that we should all avoid?
- is there a skincare product you love love love?
- what lipstick have you been reaching for more than usual?
Don’t worry if your question isn’t about beauty – heck, not all of us like jawing about beauty all day long! I know I don’t. I like to be a wee bit nosy in fact.
So maybe you’d like to share with me how your 2015 has been so far? We’re almost halfway through the year and to be honest, I’m not sure where the first half has gone! It seems to have flown by in quite a blur for me.
Workwise, I seem to be doing a lot of firefighting, and am being kept very busy but you know how that is. I always say that being busy is a good thing because it means that you have a job to keep. It’s when you aren’t kept busy that you should worry.
But it’s when you’re swept off your feet with keeping busy that you should take a break right? So, have you taken a holiday recently? Was it somewhere interesting or exotic or were you just stealing some time away to bum and forget the maddening world for a while?
I did steal away for a little while last week, but I don’t think many of you noticed, since the blog was still being updated 😀 But those of you who are subscribed to the MWS Companion newsletter would have had an inkling that I was going to be away based on the topic I chose. Ah, but where did I go? That’s a story for another day.
I told everyone on Instagram that I was in Afghanistan 😛 Well, when I saw the terrain, it seemed that way to me, based on what I see in the news. The truth is that I wasn’t in Afghanistan for if I was, I’d be sure to wear desert fatigues and not stand out in a plaid jacket.
But where I did go was somewhere quite exotic and new to me, and perhaps to many other people. But truthfully, I just got back a few days ago, and it’s not been easy easing back into the routine of blogging (I ran out of scheduled posts!) and juggling the backlog of work that piled up while I was away.
So, while I sort out my unpacking (I cleverly unpacked most of my things the night I got back although I was half dead with exhaustion and a bad cough I developed after my holiday ended) and figure out what I should be blogging about (any ideas or suggestions on what you’d like me to blog about in the weeks to come?) please go right ahead and chat away in the comment box.
I love hearing from you (you all know that already right?) and I’m sitting right here, chatting back at ya in (almost) real time for the next 24 hours or thereabouts till I close the comments.
See ya in the comment box, friends! Don’t be shy 😀

I think I am just sliding in before day 7 from your post date kicks in. It’s been a very busy 2015 for me – work wise so my comments/posts have not been at all frequent.
But I have been following and have been swayed by some of your reviews.
Antipodes Worship Serum – I bought it the same day you posted your review and I have been using it nightly. It applies so easily (I can just almost slap it on) and I find my skin really soft soon after and the next day. EL’s ANR has been temporarily sidelined.
I hunted and bought the RMK eyelash curler, used it for some time but could never get the full hang of it to make “flutter-worthy” lashes. In the end, feeling totally not guilty, I stopped using the eye lash curler after reading your post about not using mascara. But still use mascara diligently on work days.
I am still hooked on nudes – lip stick wise and currently prefer the tubes with the doe foot applicator – easier to apply and I find that they do not need the precision when applying unlike the normal lipsticks.
My other new skin care which I am checking out and trying in a stretch is L’ Occitane’s Reine Blanche – the Serum and the Gel Cream. Again, easy to apply. Someone commented that my skin looks fairer. (not sure it it’s coz of that or the sun block that I put on before swimming) So for now, Capture’s Totale and its moisturizing cream has been (temporarily) sidelined.
I can go on. But then the cafe experience would turn out to be a full blown buffet dinner with no closing time.
Buffet! I can do buffet! LOL Thanks for dropping by even though I was supposed to have closed the doors. It’s like those old-fashioned kopitiams in small towns, you know. The door shutters are all up except for the one right in the middle, for any last minute orders/stragglers hehe… I’m very glad to know that the Antipodes Worship Serum works well for you. I’m so happy with it, I’ve sidelined my ANR too. I just used up the very last drop of Worship this morning! But I have 2 more in the wings so I’m good 😀 Oh and it’s nice to know that the L’Occitane range works for you 🙂 I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews on it although I opted not to give it a go. I did try the sun screen and erm… hated it 😛 So there you go!
