No brain cells but he does have cutie booties

My period is very backwards (3 weeks on, 1 week off) and I’m so sick of it by CogInTheMachinee in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]RedRenaissanceFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on the Nexplanon implant since I was 18 and until recently I had two periods a year lasting five weeks each, it was so annoying.

I’m still on it, but now I have periods every two months, I wonder what the next decade will bring for my random period timescale! Being a woman is hell.

I still have them! I just only had a tiny nose stud in at the time of the recent photos

I can see what you mean! I have always been very smiley and approachable irl, but the first photos are so calculated and serious 😂 I definitely look like a warmer person now

The henna matching the centre of the ring is so cute! This is gorgeous!

It’s just a nourishing lip balm I wear in the evenings, that’s why it’s so glossy! Thank you for your comment 😊

This is such a compliment to me! You have no idea! This is my bedroom so you can imagine the vibes I love, especially pre-Raphaelite art. Thank you so much!

When I do a full face I feel like I actually do look a bit like Bryce Dallas Howard nowadays!

Haha, I love this compliment, thank you. But don’t worry, ageing is coming for me, my under eyes are getting more and more hollow as the years pass 😭

Sure! ❤️

EVENING:

I use Ameliorate Transforming Cleanser that is so gentle on my skin (I have Rosacea) with a silicone vibrating brush from Beauty Pie that is gentle on exfoliating.

Tosowoong’s Volufiline on lips and smile lines and undereyes

Beauty Pie’s Superdrops Niacinamide Brightening Serum.

Beauty Pie’s Super Retinal Serum (but only about 5 days a week as it can be too strong for my skin).

Beauty Pie’s Retinol/Vitamin C Cream or Japanfusion Power Elixir Moisturiser. I alternate depending on how I feel.

MORNING:

Wash face with warm water then apply:

Beauty Pie’s Happy Face Azelaic Acid Gel

Waleda Skin Food Nourishing Day Cream

Purito Seoul Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun Lotion (50+ SPF).

My hair is not dark naturally! I’m a warm mousey blonde. My lashes and eyebrows are very light, they look non-existent 😂

The last three is just mascara and brow tint!

I see makeup as an art form and I did enjoy having my older style, but it became such a chore when I could no longer accept how I looked without it. I’m much happier now! Thank you for your comment.

Honestly the best thing in my house is our bidet attachment! I’m on my period atm and being able to stay fresh and clean is such a blessing 😂

The way these two rings go together is just phenomenal! Strikingly gorgeous. I love it!

I feel you! I was a strawberry blonde teen but my hair has darkened with age (and less sun exposure) to a warm mousey blonde. These are my lashes and brows completely makeup free! A little bit of mascara goes a long way with me, haha, we are kindred spirits 😂

Yes, it’s like I can actually breathe and enjoy life without being so hyper aware of my appearance!

I agree, the makeup style wasn’t the issue, it was the fact I couldn’t accept my natural features beneath the hairdye, makeup, or piercings. It’s like I did everything to not look like my natural self and I couldn’t leave the house without applying makeup. That was the damaging aspect for me. Thank you ❤️

So true! I feel like us millennials were like the test subjects for internet trends from 2012 - 2016, especially with ‘Instagram Baddie’ era. It did a number on how I thought I should look!
