Hello friends!
I don’t know about you, but August has been quite a month for me this year – both good and bad.
But mostly good 🙂
Before I jump to sharing the 5 things I love this month, I wanted to just quickly give a heads up about a slight change in posting schedule here on the blog.
Continue ReadingI took a turn for the nostalgic last month, and hearkened back to the early days of blogging, when we’d share little random things in bite-sized pieces, because it was fun to. I enjoyed that, and apparently, so did many of you!
So, I’ve decided to make it a monthly feature – as regularly as I can remember to post LOL!
What’s most interesting for me is how much has changed, or evolved, since my last post last month, so this serves as a nice little check-in for me with how I’m doing 🙂
Continue ReadingI received a comment quite recently, which I will not quote verbatim. But what was essentially said was that this person is in her late 20s and “terrified about fine lines” and how she’d age.
The comment was asking if the product I had reviewed would help reduce or erase these fine lines. I did say in my reply that we shouldn’t be terrified about aging, because it’s a natural process. But I couldn’t help thinking about the statement about how she was terrified about having fine lines.
This issue about aging and the attendant fear of growing old, was further highlighted by a recent inquiry in person by someone who asked if I could recommend a product or brand to help with “anti-aging” because of lines etc.
I must confess when faced with situations like this, I am at a a loss for words. You see, there is nothing as certain in life than death and taxes – morbid yes. But true.
And the fact is this – we all age and will age, whether we like it or not. But do we have to play into the grabby hands of the beauty industry and believe that it’s a bad thing?
Continue ReadingThere’s this thing about old-school style blogging that I love, and it is, that it doesn’t always have to be so compartmentalized. It doesn’t always have to be a full blown dedicated review post, or a full blown post dedicated to any one thing. It doesn’t always have to be optimized for SEO and trying to game the system.
Sometimes, it is just about the flow, about writing whatever comes to mind on this space we call ours, and sometimes, it is just about being random.
With this in mind, that’s what today’s post is really about. I’m just not in the right frame of mind to write about any one thing in particular, or do any in-depth research into anything. Instead, I’ll let the flow take me where it wants to go, and you can come along for the ride if you like 😀
