5 Things I Love Vol. 6 : Leaping into a Leap Year

February 28, 2020 Paris B Leave a Comment

It feels like just yesterday that I was telling you about the 5 things I love for January and the next thing you know, February is almost over!

So much has happened for me, in the past month! I’ll share with you what I can 🙂

And, we’re in a Leap Year this year with 29 days this February, so today isn’t technically the last day of the month. To be honest, I cannot believe that we’re ONLY in February. So much has happened globally and domestically that it feels like we should be at least halfway through 2020 already!

I do hope that everyone stays safe, avoid crowded places so we keep the virus at bay, keep a cool head, and don’t pick too many unnecessary fights over political matters that are beyond our control. Keep calm, and eat good food! Everything looks and feels better after a good meal 🙂

As always, I’d love to hear of 5 things that you’ve loved in this past month. Think about it for a bit. There’s always something that will lift your day and mood and bring a smile to your face 🙂

Grey Hair : To colour or not to colour, that’s the question

February 20, 2020 Paris B 12 Comments

Grey hair is such a sensitive issue isn’t it?

Often, when we discover our first grey (or white) hair, it is with a sense of gloom. It is a sign that age has caught up with us, and that we aren’t the spring chicken that we thought we were.

I remember that sinking feeling when I discovered my first grey hair sticking straight up the top of my head in my early 20’s. It was at that exact moment that I knew what the old saying “It’s all downhill from here!” meant.

I then swore that when I started greying, I’d start colouring my hair again. It’s been 20 years since, so have I kept true to that promise to myself? 🙂

What’s so bad about makeup cleansing wipes? Why shouldn’t I use them if they’re so convenient?

“I use cleansing wipes to remove my makeup”

Tell this to most skincare enthusiasts, and what you’d be greeted with is an exaggerated gasp of breath, and wide-eyed horror.

“No, you don’t!” They’d exclaim in disbelief.

What started out as a convenient skincare product is now one of the most villified beauty products in the market. Every beauty and skincare guru worth their salt is condemning it, left, right and center. Every YouTube personality who is caught using one, is shunned and talked about in hushed tones of disgust.

But why and how did this happen? Why are makeup cleansing wipes so bad for our skin, and are they? Should we not use them at all?

I compiled my last ‘5 Things I Love’ post in September 2019! So much has happened since then! But it’s a brand new year, so it’s a brand new compilation of random things that I love, mostly happening in January 2020.

Please feel free to share the 5 Things you love too – it helps you think a little and put things into perspective, and breaks down each month into more easily digestible bits 🙂
