Manic Monday #54

Welcome, Monday is done yet again! These weeks are going too quickly for my liking. Again, I shall ask....how is it nearly the end of *insert chosen month here*?!

I was having a think today about what to write about, whenever I have a little downtime at work I tend to pre-plan today's post, even if it's just the subject matter.

I can tell you I was struggling with even a subject today to say the least! I kept having a panic and thinking "What am I going to write about?!" Even now I don't know what I want to talk about, but I think I'm doing an all right job just rambling on. 

I feel like I want to have a little play around with some make-up this evening and create some new going-out looks. I feel like having an experiment with some of my older palettes that are currently gathering dust.

Other than that I had a little brainstorming session yesterday evening and planned myself up to mid-March. It might not sound like long to some seasoned bloggers, but for me that is quite far in advanced and very organised of me! 

I'm quite happy and content at the moment, everything is going well. I'm excited for mine and Ben's trip to Ontario in June which I know will come around quicker than I can fathom. I am heavily planning that too so we don't waste any time there! I am also all planned out with my finances for the next couple of months to ensure maximum spending in Canada. Sephora is already calling my name.

I have to be a grown-up and sort out my MOT and car insurance this week. *cheers* 

Reflecting back on this post I would like to take a second to ask myself, who am I and what have I done with me?

It's all very out of the ordinary!

How was your weekend? Did you get up to anything exciting?!

Toodles!

Procrastination

 Procrastination will be the end of me. Give me a few weeks to do something, I'll do it within the last days, a few hours, I'll do it within the last few minutes. 

I do like to plan carefully, but that tends to take up so much time that I like to work in "organised chaos" as one of my lecturers rightly observed in a day long project whilst I was studying. This attitude does tend to have me going for the easy, safe options. But I do know I am more than capable of producing something amazingly wonderful if I just allowed myself the time.

I have all the determination of a dam building beaver, but all the procrastination skills of well, me. 

I do eventually get around to doing what I intend to do though, it's just the getting there that's the struggle.

Resting Bitchy Face

I wanted to address this facial flaw I seem to suffer with, there are many other people on this planet that have the same affliction.

I am of course, talking about the 'resting bitchy face', so dubbed by fellow RFB sufferer Anna Paquin. 

Yes, I have one of those expressions when I'm concentrating, having a think or just generally don't have a smile on my face. There is generally nothing wrong with me and I have always had people "It can't be that bad.", "Come on, smile!" and other lovely comments such as "Cheer up, it may never happen." 

Being told to cheer up when there is absolutely nothing wrong with me grates on me, I'm just sorry to all these people that I have such a miserable looking face!

I really dislike candid pictures, for above reasons, I like to be prepared for them and plaster a decent smile on my face or I risk look like a grouchy mare.  Oh, to be a candid-pro like Audrey or Marilyn.

This post pretty much sums it up perfectly - 22 Problems All People With Resting Bitchy Face Will Understand

Maybe one day my face will change and I'll have a lovely resting face, but for now I am embracing the resting bitchy face...it certainly makes people move out of the way when I'm coming!

If you're also a RBF sufferer, lets embrace it together!

Extensive & Current Wishlist

Do you ever just have those days where everything you see, you wanty right there and then. Yup, having one of those kinda days and it's also a few too many days until my pay day...This weekend will be a difficult one to endure...!

 

Firstly, this Aspinal of London Travel Wallet, I saw this little lovely on EmTalks blog post as she was preparing to go to Canada, it was love at first sight! The organiser in my brain is dying to get her mits on this!

 

Next up, this lovely looking bronzer from Kiko, I have to say I have a weakness for bronzers and this is now at the top of my list!

        

I've been doing a little lusting over Lancôme too...I also need a refill of my La Ville Est Belle perfume! The limited edition pallete looks amazing, I love the addition of the blue hues in to the product!

I'm obviously channeling my inner vamp with my Topshop make-up desires! The baked eyeshadow looks gorgeous!

 

 I have a thing about cropped tops at the moment and ended up falling for this power blue jumper in H&M!

I've really been wanting to get my hands on Sheer Glow for a while now, I've never tried it before, but my extensive research on blogs and videos have made me want to try it! 

 

And, lastly...always and forever wanting a pair of Louboutin's! Any and all, donations welcome!

I think I'll leave it there before I bore you all to tears. What have you been lusting after this month? Or have you had any major splurges?!

Toodles!
