Bare legs scare me too, saying that, I think I might just chuck on denim shorts and a vest top today as not going anywhere till Tesco at 5ish, and the weather is so nice I think I'll just chill in the garden with a book.
Can add tights, or change before I go out so as not to scare anyone

Need to get hair washed first, now it's warm enough I can see how it naturally dries

Its a beautiful morning. Yeserday, probably overstressed, I managed to sleep most of the day. Today I'm going to be on the phone a lot I think. Our purchase is on the brink of falling through (are meant to exchange on Wednesday but the bank are getting cold feet about the ''issues'' with the property). so I'm trying to fnd all sorts of emergency quotes and get statements to show we have money elsewhere for some of the more pressing issues. so, one way or the other, Ill know by wednesday and be about a bit more.

I'm past caring what I look like ATM and have been out TWICE in shorts. I know my cellulite and flab don't look great but frankly, the vit d, the comfort etc make it worth while.

I have seen women of all shapes looking beautiful in bright and light summer dresses and filp flops. This morning I saw a guy getting on the train in his suit trousers, shirt, no jacket and tie but flip flops and I thought it very sensible as well as looked quite cool.

I want to find a low cal/no sugar ice tea recipe...any one no a good one? Although I don't lie using sweetener I will.

Ugh nothing I try on looks even ok today. I need to lose some weight.

Guna have a busy day too I think, deadline to meet and a lot of ppl off this week..better get going.

well, my outfit today is annoying me..actually, the dress isn't, it's the shoes..

dress - pale yellow with daisy print in oranges, pinks and pale blues (nicer than it sounds!) - miss selfridge, via ebay i think..
chunky bangle with mosaic style triangles in pinks oranges and blues-warehouse
irregular choice black wedges with orange anchor charms on the front, and plaited strap of yellow, orange, white and blue..

the shoes go so well with this dress, was mega happy this morning, but having never worn them before, i didn't realise they are really too big ;(

not sure how to make them any smaller..but going to try..think the problem is that they just slip on really, no real strap to hold them on..grr!

oh..and apologies for hijacking the thread this morning lol..
does anyone know of any simple diy facepacks??? with nothing too random in them?? i'm planning a "pampering" session this eve for the guides, have got nails etc sorted so they can do pedicures etc, but could do with some kind of face-mask or something? and if we can make it ourselves, even better!

Ok everyone I need some shoes. I know this is the best place to ask and I really need help. Last night I worked from 8 in flat black pumps and behind the bar is concrete so with no support my heels kept slamming against the floor and after 5 hours I was in so much pain!
So I need some shoes that have more support than Primark £4 pumps, will survive having drink spilt on them and will go with most clothes!

Not sure of plans today so i'm still in pjs.

PF: http://beauty.about.com/od/fragrance/r/sensitivemask.htm looks simple enough... I wouldn't risk anything much more complicated incase of reactions.

Eek tsabo, that sounds nasty, I haven't any advice though


Am so far slumming it with dripping hair, a nude vest top and grey jersey harems. Haa.

I use an oil and salt mix (for exfoliation) that I make up myself. I generally use the Boots Botanics Baby Oil, and massage it in for ages, and my skin feels fab afterwards. It has to be taken off with hot water and a face cloth so perhaps that might be a bit much faff for guides. You could maybe look into facial massage and get them to do that to each other, with a simple moisturiser, that feels amazing too!
