If you've noticed my 'in the red' daily posts ceased a while ago. Why? Well there are many reasons, the biggest probably being that I am largely over my red lip phobia ... I have a new one fuchsia ... just kidding ... well not really. It seems that after wearing red lips for over a week, I'm pretty comfortable feeling clownish in my own skin ... up to a point. New ventures and adventures has drawn me back to my neutral lips for ease and its a lot less hassle than a pigmented red. However, I will carry on this challenge but on varying days throughout the rest of July and in August.
In the meantime I'll be updating you about the neutrals I may be wearing and my new lip products, yes you heard correctly :). However, I did not purchase a single one ... they were gifts (yipeee!) which does not breach my Shop My Stash makeup ban (grins). My lovely lovely sister gave them to me on the day that you legally get older ... yeah that wonderful day. Seriously I have no problem turning older its just that when you reflect back on a year, which feels wasted sometimes that special day feels more sorrowful than celebratory.This year I had a mini breakdown, I felt like giving up on everything and everyone. I felt like an old man who after decades of hard work dressed up for his recognition only to be ignored and sidelined. Anger mixed with self pity with an underlined current of pain, deep pain made this Atlas loose her sphere. Sigh, I'm learning that's it OK to be a learner at any age and that I don't need to rush everything - oh and I can say No. Let me practice, no ... no ... NO. That felt good :). I think, slash I'm planning to do more self development posts so check in if you're interested .... I'm definitely more confident than I used to be but in areas I could improve ...
So yeah that's a mini update, I didn't want to leave you hanging too long without a little something something. I still have so much to showcase on this blog and a long way to go to where I feel like I need to be but, I'm getting there ... each fumbling step at a time.
Thanks for listening to me. All the best as always :) xxx
