Something different on the blog

Hello! What’s going to new here on my blog? Well, it has been something I’ve been thinking about putting on my blog, only I’ve always been a bit anxious about it. But as it is a big part of my daily life, especially since I started my course, I thought perhaps now is the right time to finally share. Can you guess what it is? No? It’s creative writing, as you perhaps know I do a writing course, something I get so much joy out.

A while ago I actually have shared a creative writing piece on my blog before, it was about a monster that I created when I was little (about 4,5 years old). If you are curious, you can read here. However back then it was more of a one-time thing on my blog, now I would like to post a short fictional story once a month. Although I still feel a bit anxious, mainly because those stories probably aren’t perfect, but also strangely exciting for trying something new and to see how this will go.

Update & February favourites

Hey, hello there. I feel like it’s been quite a while since I posted anything, I’m sorry. I do not even have an actual good reason for it, other than I have felt really lousy.
                Basically, I have felt anxious, almost all day for the past two months and it has been bringing my mood down. I can tell you feeling anxious and having panic attacks, many days of the week is not a good feeling. About my mood, well, I don’t feel like doing anything at all and every tiny thing can upset me, which is a very frustrating thing for me. I haven’t been a great to be living with. Of course it couldn’t end with just feeling anxious, my skin has been breaking out which I think could be connected.
                The main reason for this is probably my par time job I have since January, it has been more challenging than I had expected. This has been a trigger to my anxiety. A thing that doesn’t help either is that my body needs some vitamin D from the sunlight, I hope spring/ summer is going to around here soon.

Now on to my favourites of the month.
Wild Argan oil, body lotion: I needed some body lotion, I didn’t have any and my skin was very dry. And after hearing about this one and being in the Body Shop I decided to give it a try. The smell is just heavenly, I can’t get enough of it. Of course it is moisturizing as well.
The Body Shop
Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist: I have been thinking of getting this for a while and have finally done so. It is supposed to help you sleep well, and after using it every night before bedtime, I can say that I think it does. The smell is nice and fresh, it reminds me of summer.
The Body Shop
Brow Artist Plumper, LORÉAL Paris: My eyebrows are very light blond and in some light even more invisible. So I need to put something on them to make them visible, but because they are so blond (and in need to be getting painted again) I find using pencil or powder can become quickly fake looking. As If they were drawn on. But since I have this it looks better, is easier and quicker.
Avocado: I definitely love this, especially made into a quesadilla with some onion and tomato or some chicken. For me this is comfort food and the best thing is it isn’t even bad for you. Yumm.
