Catch up

sunglasses on a laptop - By Heather catch up blog post

 

Hey guys!

How are we all doing?

So this week has gone super quick for me, like crazy quick. It's 9pm on Thursday and I still have a bunch of stuff on my to-do list, but I do feel I've been fairly productive this week.

Along with the usual, grocery shop, taking Mark to the airport, the housework (which I've still got bathrooms to clean and hoovering and mopping to do before tomorrow!) vet's visits and trying to make sure I'm eating healthy and keeping out of the treat box! I actually started the rest of the decking which I've been banging on about (mainly on my vlogs) for ages.

I did the small decking a couple of months ago and the big decking for one reason and another kept getting delayed. I did start one section of the balustrades a few weeks ago and on Tuesday I finally picked up the paint brush again and carried on. I had a really good day of it and got all the balustrades painted which I really didn't expect. And then yesterday (Wednesday) I did the staircase and bannisters. So I'm really chuffed with what I've achieved.

It's one of those jobs that you kinda put off, but you know it really needs to be done. The wood gets so weathered and dull so quickly. But when it's done, my goodness it's does look good, if I do say so myself.

I just have the boards to do now. I say just, but that will be another full 2 to 3 days solid work, but again it'll be so worth it in the end.

Hopefully I get started on that in a couple of weeks.

The good thing about being engrossed in a DIY project is that it keeps me out of the shops and spending haha.

I did get my hair done today though. I had a full head of highlights and I feel brand new again. I didn't have it cut because after the big chop earlier in the year, I now fancy growing it a little bit longer again. I do like being able to tie it in a nice pony, especially in the summer.

I've been looking at my Instagram too and I am going to start posting more of my daily outfits. Mainly because now we have a lovely new hallway mirror I can do the classic mirror selfies again!

I do find Instagram a bit of a minefield sometimes, but I'm just going to treat it as my own personal diary I guess. Just sharing with you guys basically whatever is going on and try not to overthink it all, it wears you out doesn't it? Trying to keep up with it all. But I'm taking the pressure off and just using it how I want to too, I find it more enjoyable that way.

I posted a little cat room tour over on my YouTube, so you will have to let me know what you think of that.

I'm still cringing at myself a little bit with the whole YouTube thing, but I am proud of myself for actually doing it and learning to edit videos.

Watch the latest video here ♥

Oh, will you do me a huge favor?! If you do find yourself on my Instagram can you click the link in my bio and check it brings you back here? ChatGPT said it says launching soon - which has confused me that's for sure! Thanks guys ♥

I'm also really looking forward to the weekend and next week as Mark is home all week. It's bank holiday in the UK and he has a mix of working from home days and a couple of leave days. The weather has really warmed up too so I'm hoping for lot's of beach walks and relaxing by the pool.

I've also written a new about page. I still want to get some decent pictures for it, but I quite like what I've written, let me know what you think! Check it out here.

Right I better stop nattering and I really must get on with the rest of my housework before it get's too late!

Have a lovely weekend guys, if you're in the UK enjoy the bank holiday weekend the weather is looking good over there too ☀️

Ciao for now

♥

My experience with Emdogain

  Hola mi amigos! Happy Thursday and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to chat today about my recent Emdogain surgery. They call it surgery, but I guess it's really a procedure, as it's done under local anaesthetic, they just numbed the area of the gum and it was done at my dentist practice. Either way it wasn't a pleasant thing to go though. My sympathy goes out to you if you're having this done or anything to do with your teeth for that matter.  I think since I had braces about 5 or 6 years ago my pain threshold for the dentist has completely gone down to zero. I never used to mind going to the dentist, but recently I dread it. It's probably because I'm getting older and things are sadly starting to go wrong. It just feels like every time you go they suggest something else that will need attention. Anyway, with that aside let me tell you a little bit about Emdogain. Well how I understand it anyway and what I've been through with i...

Skincare routine revisited + Beauty of Joseon review

  Hi guys welcome back to the blog ♥ Hope everyone's well and having a good week.  * * * Back in January I shared with you what skincare products I use daily and I mentioned I had bought a couple of new items which I would report back on. Here's the  link  to that post if you wanna quick read. About a week or so after writing that post I really started looking at my skin and to be honest it wasn't looking quite right. I always seem to have a red nose and red chin which does bother me. I don't drink alcohol very much at all, literally a glass of wine a month, if that, so it can't be alcohol related. I'm thinking maybe some sort of mild rosacea maybe or maybe it is my skin reacting to the products I use. I went on good old ChatGPT and that suggested I literally strip everything back basically and just use warm water to wash my face in the morning and minimise the products I'm using on my face. When I entered what I was using it recommended to stop using the to...

My daily beauty products

  Hi Guys, I hope 2026 is treating you well so far. In my previous  post  I mentioned about some beauty products I had just started using and I will report to you my thought's in due course, but it got me to thinking about the products I already use on a daily basis. My bathroom staples if you like, the go-to's.  It's something I'm always curious to know, what are the products on peoples sinks, their everyday toiletries. Not the ones that maybe an ad feature or collaboration, but the ones that get popped in the shopping basket week after week, month after month. The products that may not be as aesthetically pleasing, but always make the cut. I'm not going to go through every single product I use, 'cause quite frankly you and me just don't have the time and if you're anything like me you haven't got the attention span for it either. But I am going to show you the main players that I literally use everyday. Some I do switch up according to price and ju...
