More like Less Money More Problems! I'm going to be hit with lots of bank charges next month, going to cost me about £100 :( I've also got other things to pay for like rent, bills, haircut, eyebrow threading, friend's birthday present & party, sofa/chair covers, removal people & van....... ouch. I think I'm going to put off the glasses until my next pay. The haircut.... well I can't claim it's essential but I do need it.... ha ha. And for the rest of the month I'm going to have to be really careful. *sigh* well that's the plan.
I've got other plans.....
♥ look better
I think I'm an average looking girl. I'm not that good looking, I'm not that bad looking (most of the time), I'm just somewhere in the middle. But, I believe I could look better. I wear make up but I think I could wear it better. I've never really worn foundation. For the last 2 years I've worn a Benefit face powder but it's now running out, and also, I think I need more coverage now that I am 27 *sob sob* and so, I have been looking in to foundations and have decided that tomorrow, when I get paid, I will be taking advantage of the 3 for 2 offer on Max Factor in Boots, and buying their Experience liquid foundation, and also their minerals foundation. I'll throw in their False Lash Effect mascara to complete the trio. I currently use & love that. I've no idea what shade to go for, I'm hoping it's easy to choose when I'm in the shop. I need contact lenses & glasses. I MUCH prefer contacts. In fact I hate wearing glasses because I feel like they make me look bad. I feel like however good I think I look, when I put glasses on they bring the whole look down a touch. The thing is, I need to wear glasses to work because long days + sitting in front of a computer all day + contact lenses = headache. I had an eye test last week and I could do with new glasses but as I said I will get them in my next pay. I will need to choose nicer looking ones. The ones I have just now are not bad but I think I could do better. I'm paying much more attention to my wardrobe and keeping it up to date & also only buying clothes that will suit my shape. Then there's my hair. My hair can be good but I need to spend more time on it in the mornings. This will lead on to my next plan.
Wow, that probably sounds really vain but it's true...
♥ get up earlier and have some routine in the mornings
I'm so bad in the mornings it's unbelievable. It doesn't matter what time I set my alarm, I get out of bed at the latest time possible. Either that or I get up at a reasonable time but then I mess about watching tv or on my phone, and then I'm rushing about to get out the door. This is ridiculous, because I only live 10 mins walk from work. This is all going to change in a week because I am moving. I'll only be a 15/20 min walk from where I am now, but it'll still be a longer walk. I cannot be late for my work, it's just not an option so I have to make sure I'm on time. I don't want to be rolling out of bed like I have been doing because I won't have the cushion of the tiny walk to work. SO my plan is to get up earlier, give myself time to wake up, have a cup of tea, quick shower and time to make myself presentable and then being able to walk leisurely to work without being late!
Gotta be done! xx
Heeeeeeeeey :)
I got my eyebrows threaded for the first time today. I usually get them waxed but I've wanted to try threading for a while. A colleague recommended that I just have a look in the windows of the little Indian fabric shops at the top of Leith Walk, and that they would probably have signs in the window advertising threading. I was a bit scared at the thought because I'm always a bit hesitant when trying new eyebrow places. I've had an eyebrow disaster once and it's sooooo bad coz it's right on your face and you can hardly do anything about it! Anyway, I was brave and decided to go for it. I'm a bit more handy with an eyebrow pencil these days and thought if it was messed up at least I could save it a bit.
So the first fabric shop on Leith Walk had a little sign outside advertising beauty treatments, including eyebrow threading so I hopped in. The woman behind the counter said it cost a fiver and said to go through the back and I'd probably have to wait 10 mins. I went through and there was a small room, with 2 big chairs in front of mirrors, a treatments bed and a few chairs for people to sit and wait on. There was 2 women working, and the waiting chairs were full so one of them told me to sit on the bed, so I did. I'd been sitting there a good few minutes when I realised there was a tiny baby just lying on the end of the bed! Bit surprising but hey ho. The baby started to cry and another lady came and took it away.
Eventually........... it was my turn! I'd heard that sometimes you have to hold your eyebrow up for them, so I said to the woman that it was my first time so she knew to tell me to do stuff. I didn't have to hold my eyebrow up but I did have to hold it down at one point. I must say, it was sore!!! But in a few minutes it was over and I handed over my fiver. After that I was straight on the bus to Asda which took ages, and so it was a while before I actually got a chance to look at my eyebrows properly and see if I liked them. I did look in the mirror in the shop but my brows were all red so I couldn't really tell. When I got there they had calmed down and I was really happy with them :) they are a nice shape and look more even than they usually do. Plus, it was only £5! I usually pay between £10-£15 for waxing. I'll definitely be back there, and hopefully it won't be as sore next time!
In other news, I had a busy weekend last week. On the Friday night I went to my friend Steven's flatwarming/birthday party. It was good and a met a few nice new people. On the Saturday, me & bf went to Glasgow. When we got there, he met his sister for lunch and I met my friend. We had lunch then took a walk along to Sloane's market - http://www.sloansglasgow.com/market which sells some lovely little things, and I bought 2 rings and a necklace. Then my other friend came along and we went to the pub, and bf met us there later. Me & bf had to leave eventually as we were going to my uncle's 50th. All of my family went for dinner. We had a private room in a local pub and it was lovely. After the meal, most people went home but me, bf, my aunt & uncle stayed til closing time and had a great time! There was a singer, and usually I hate live music, but I really enjoyed her singing. She was a great singer, sang great songs and also had a laugh with the crowd. She did little dances, and was even up dancing on a chair at one point. Also there was people up dancing the whole night, and dancing on tables! Great fun :)
On to this weekend :) last night we went to see Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows :-D I looooooooooved it :) I want to see it again. Today I got my eyebrows threaded, as I mentioned above, also got a little bit of shopping in ;) tonight me & bf are having a "bed night" which is when we got to bed really early and just watch tv, eat sweets & cuddle etc :) might sound silly but we love it ha ha :) xx
