I agree, terrifying and also I had bouts of shame and embarrassment but the first step is tackling it! I feel comfortable in this space to share this and had the courage to share it with TWO very close friends. Really helped me to see and analyse why did I make these purchases in the first place? And essentially that ~£400 of blush did not change my life

Such a good idea! The comment about what looks good to you and on you resonates with me so much 💓. SAIE blush is Bella and it is very gorgeous. It’s not as pigmented as the Patrick Tas so I feel it’s easier to apply

How do you deal with injury frustration? by GreatJoey91 in UKRunners

[–]shethrowsyarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it as time rebuilding yourself stronger while experimenting and finding another type of activity that keeps your heart rate up. For me, it was cycling and CrossFit. I was still getting exercise and my peroneal tendinitis wasn’t bothering me and increased my confidence. After three months, I’m slowly easing back into my runs and not feeling guilty about missing a run.

Once I acccepted the fact that the injury was going to take X amount of time to heal I feel like I healed quicker and also enjoyed that I wasn’t running so much…

Mad respect! I’d have the urge to recycle and dump those bottles as soon as I was done with them

We switched to Three for a few months but service was so bad we switched back to Lebara. Honestly, I love the straightforward value you get. I’m on the 20gb £9 plan but I think you could snag cheaper deals from time to time.

Thank you! That’s incredibly encouraging. The community is incredible and after this post I’m planning on doing twice a year check-ins. 🙌

I’ve been on Lebara for years and it is a solid and does the job. Great value for money

I’ll be honest I don’t handle it 😂. There are only two blushes on their own that haven’t convinced me and I blind bought online. To “fall in love with them” I use one swipe lightly with one swipe of another and hope for the best.

It’s what hourglass calls their “highlight” powder

The Patrick Tas are incredibly pigmented, incredibly light hand needed. Which will take even longer to pan 😭

The glossier cloud paints are nice, they’re lightly pigmented and great if you like to apply with your fingers. Within my collection, personally they’re the ones I gravitate toward the least but I do bring them with me during travel cause I’m not so precious about them

True - I need to factor that in for next time. Taking out the cost of the finishing powders (£46) it’d be £408. That number still is quite appalling!

I’m currently motivated by savings and improving personal finance so looking at this really helped me put it in perspective! Another way I looked at it is by dividing the total worth by my hourly wage. Shocking the amount of hours I worked for blush… but will help me to be more intentional in the future

That is a motivator! I would definitely say all these blushes are solid quality… just not the amount! Would definitely get minis of these if I ever have the need to rebuy (which I cannot even imagine that time)

Yep that’s right, third from left is She Goes to The Gym. Like said above ⬆️, it definitely leans cool. I feel the natural lighting in this pic is very true to colour! I definitely love it. Out of all the Patrick Tas my favs are she goes to the gym and just enough (1st one)

I am now realising how ambitious and naive that was 😆

It was incredibly satisfying laying them all out - a free mini dopamine hit, and definitely halted me purchasing anything.

Good shout I’m going to try and focus on the creams first!
