Mission Size 10

I was shopping yesterday and updated my wardrobe a little, which then led to my re-organising my wardrobe this morning, where I found some lovely pieces which I have either not worn ever or in a long time as they are just that bit too tight or small. So ... instead of buying new clothes and not ever fitting into the perfectly good (too tight) clothes I already have, I am going to stick to my mission of becoming a small size 10. At the moment I am a big size 10 (or 12). I have re-positioned all the clothes I would like to fit into so that each time I open the wardrobe door they are there, waiting to be worn! A weight loss of a pound a week seems so reasonable and achievable yet so hard and impossible. It would mean ten pounds by mid November. Only time will tell!

Being organised and routine!!

I am back to work almost two weeks now and I have to say I have never been so organised in my life. In the past, I was not the most organised person in the world, but I decided to change a few things, including meals, gym, piano practice and work related paperwork.

I was often going through the work day without eating lunch, which isn't ideal. But now I pack my lunch while eating my breakfast and refuel at lunch time. Also, I shower at night time to save time in the morning which makes a huge difference. It's also more relaxing as I am not in such a hurry. I have really gotten into the routine of practicing the piano every day for at least half an hour instead of cramming in a few hours practice on the day of the lesson. I am staying on top of my paperwork by doing a bit every day and a few hours at the weekend. For an update on my healthy living journey, come by tomorrow. All in all, I am much more prepared and far less stressed!!

Urban Veda Daily Radiance Facial Wash

I am back after a short hiatus, sorry for my absence!! My daily dabbles were not so daily but now that I have recovered from 'back to work' shock I will try my utmost to blog daily :)

Last month's Glossybox included this facial wash which is amazing and I will definitely be buying more of it. It's a gel and seems to really suit my dry/sensitive skin. It maintains it balances skin tone and has an overall brightening effect. The best thing though is the scent - it smells divine!! It contains Ayurvedic Turmeric with a botanical infusion of Marigold, Papaya and Coriander. Of course it does its job and cleans your face without drying it out.
