Bobbi is nearly 1! He's still cute and ridiculous, but now there's more of him, he's proper cat sized.
M and I are going to Thailand! We've got a vague plan of going from Bangkok (without going into the city) flying straight to Chiang Mai for a few days before (Railing? Flying? Unsure) going down to Phuket, doing the islands around there and working our way back up to Bangkok city before flying home. We've got 3 weeks, totally doable. Am so excited thinking about it makes my toes tingle. Any advice well accepted.
The very latest move in my life so small, is I am fast becoming a 'Hauschka' one of those people I used to laugh at. A 'Hauschka', dear readers, is my nick name for the types of women who come into my place of work demanding their expensive 'Dr Hauschka' cosmetics that we sell. Unfortunately we rarely have what they're looking for because we only do a selection of the range. These women are rude, unfriendly and often dislike the shop, they are only interested in the Hauschka products. So the time came for me to learn all about these magical products and attend a training course. It was here I was converted.
Dr Hauschka was a herbalist bloke in the 1920s who started experimenting with natural herbs and flowers picked from his garden. He started by putting rose petals in some spring water and leaving one jar on his desk, and putting one in his wardrobe, in the dark cool air. The one in his wardrobe, he stirred every day and left for several weeks. He simply left the one on his desk, for several weeks. At the end of his experiment, the jar on his desk was rank and rotten while the jar in the wardrobe smelled amazing. This method of stirring in a dark cool environment is still how they make their rose water. Rose is a powerful ingredient that is used in nearly everything they produce. Hauschka's pretty dead now, but where he started off, his company has continued and they grow all the plants and flowers bio-dynamically (by the pull of the moon, like tides) making sure even the earth they grow from hasn't had any chemicals anywhere near it in nearly a century. As you can imagine, this stuff is not only incredibly effective, it's incredibly expensive. Their theory is that skin needs balance to keep it healthy and with all the pollution, make up and astringents we chuck on our faces every day, it's no wonder we get spots, dry patches, wrinkles etc. So they say to be very gentle with your face, use no night cream (your skin won't breathe) or exfoliant (you're rubbing away the good cells along with the dead ones) and to always use everything, er.. made by them.
Unfortunately, they gave me a free starter kit at this training day and IT'S AMAZING. My skin feels fit. So that'll be setting me back a good £40-50 every month. Well, theoretically.
So, what's new with you?
