Beautiful

On a cab ride through London today, I noticed some things I've never seen before, despite coming this way many times. There was a church yard full of purple crocuses (Springtime!) and some water fountains built into rough stone structures. There's a lot of beauty around if you open your eyes, even in the centre of a dirty city!

I feel like it's going to be a good day.

Suffering


They say that a woman must suffer for her beauty. I'm all for that, I think it's absolutely worth a bit of pain to turn out soft, smooth and radiant. I don't mind tweezing my eyebrows (though it often makes me sneeze?!), and I can cope with the discomfort of 5 inch heels. But the worst thing I have to endure on a regular basis is an epilator. See that lovely lady on the advert, looking all blissful and relaxed? It's all lies! Her legs hate her right now! At least waxing is fast.

I often epilate because you can do it effectively sooner than waxing - my lifestyle does not afford me to sit around waiting until the hair growth is as long as a grain of rice. To be fair the pain does get less and less each time you do it; but I'll never forget that first time, trying an epilator after weeks of shaving my legs... beware ladies!

Simple Pleasures

I had an awesome shower this morning. I have this amazing dead sea salt scrub (think I may have mentioned it before in my enthusiasm), and it makes me feel gorgeous. Plus I found a skirt that I'd forgotten I had. Simple things!

I love being an optimist. It makes life so much more lovely when you can see beauty in every day things. Sorry to be so trite, but it's true!
