What things do you enjoy when you’re feeling a bit “meh”?

New Girl
Such a funny adorable show, the more I see of Zooey D, the more I love, seriously I wish I was as cute and funny. I was in a crabby mood this morning and I though mm I’ll watch New Girl, it was the Penis episode, ahhh I giggled and grinned so much :D now I feel so much better, almost ready to take on the day.
Green Smoothies
Joined the green smoothie 21 day challenge initiated by the lovely Sabine of Echolife, it’s really fun mixing random stuff together and glugging it down in the pursuit of health and glowing skin :)
SHOPPING!
I got these StyleStalker flares on sale at ASOS for about $15 *eeep*
Dress and shorts both from Topshop
Tinted Lip Balms
I picked these up on evilbay, not available here in Au yet
Head and Shoulders shampoo to bash BO
Sarah recommended this on her blog, this really works, you wash your pits with it and it keeps you BO free all day, seriously a miracle discovery on Sarah’s part, AMAZING!!! Life changing even haha.

Not the best pic but you get the general idea…
Top - Ebay, think it’s made from a vintage bed sheet.
Jeans - Goldsign flares
Boots - ASOS Chelsea boots
Bracelets - 2x Resin By Roshan, 1 howlite skull bracelet from etsy (not shown)
Makeup - None
Haus of Gloi Imp, sample size bubbling scrub - Passionfruity scrubby goodness, these give a nice scrub, lather and smell amazing, would repurchase.
Seven Wonders Moroccan Treatment Shampoo - SLS and paraben free, and leaves myhair feeling soft, clean and nourished, this was sent for review, but I would purchase it for myself.
LUSH Rub Rub Rub - Smells fresh and gives a good scrub and lather, would repurchase.
Essential oil Jasmine blend 3% - I love real Jasmine, my fave scent ever, used this as a labour treatment and as a perfume.
Kerastase Ciment Thermique, leave in treatment - I used these after seeing Dee’s empties post, Kerastase is one of those oooh luxurious, mysterious, expensive kind of brands. After using this I could see why, sooo silky awww yehhhhhh, I might consider dipping further into the Kerastase range when I run out of all of the other stuff in my bathroom. These samples came in a beauty subscription box, can’t recall which one.
Alchemy Lavender Shampoo - I love Alchemy as a brand, this shampoo was good, it did the job but eventually I got sick of the smell. Would repurchase but not this fragrance/type.
CK Shock for her - Berries/Vanilla, not long lasting, nice but a bit of a nothing fragrance.
CK Shock for him - Can’t even recall what tis one was like. Both came in a beauty subscription box.
Silk Naturals Vitamin C serum - This sometimes aggravated my skin sometimes it didn’t, my cheeks and the area around my nose do look less ruddy though. Wouldn’t repurchase but would try other serums in the range.
Pure Therapy Shampoo - I liked this, it does the job of getting my hair clean and doesn’t aggravate my sensitive scalp, would buy this. This was sent to me from a friend.
Haus of Gloi Red Roan whipped soap - Creamy and delicious smelling like porridge with strawberries, I liked using this as a shaving cream for my legs and pits. Would repurchase.
Also used a packet of Ecolife Macrobiotic Sea Salt - Ahhh so relaxing, unscented, definite repurchase, fantastic after a run.
Clothes I’ve bought recently…
Girlfriend dress from Princess Polly as seen on Something About Dinosaurs blog, I actually bought mine from Beginning Boutique but I couldn’t see it listed anymore
Before YOTTA commences (aka Year Of The Tight Arse)
Speaking of which do check out Dee’s new blog if you haven’t already :)
