I have just eBay-ed myself a Clinique Almost Lipstick in ‘Black Honey’. I have been trying to find the sodding thing for ages now, and with a simple click of my mouse, it is now on its way to me <3. Lovely. This particular lipstick is such a legend in its own right in certain circles, I have been hunting it for a while now. Finding it has been suprisingly different – well, if you’ve only searched in stores.
I think I will give up on buying stuff from shops and just shop on eBay from now on 
. I am sooo happy.
As a sideline – well, it isn’t as much of a sideline as it is a real comment/plan/thing-to-note, I am going to uphaul my wardrobe and stuff in general. Think of it is a bit of a personal re-vamp that I need. getting rid of clothes I no longer suit ot do not wear. Look at all the other stuff I have and see what I like and what i need. This eBay exercise is just about that. Finding stuff I like, finding what my real style is 
. Well, I do know what my real style is, really. It’s simple, it’s black, it relies on accessories and make-up to look different.
PS: Update – got a mail from the vendor. The lipstick shall be on its way to me tomorrow, so may indeed have it before Friday. And I need it by that, I have people I need to make a good imoression to 
. Wo-hoo!

So, I am a member of a gym. One with no windows, no proper classes, just a bunch of equipment in a building. Not my thing. I have only trained there a few times, and not enjoyed it one bit. So I decided to change that, and joined a new gym.
I foresee that this blog will now have a new dimension to it. Whinings Postings from a newly-motivated exerciser. Trials and errors, the annoyance and the bulging training kit..
I have a real love-hate relationship with exercise. I hate it with a vengeance. If I do it properly it gives me an insane high, intense and long-lasting. But I hate it. I hate to love it. I love to hate it. But now I have a gym that as classes. Shiny, glittery classes in shiny and glittery exercise studios with chrome and brick walls. Free internet. A cafe, oh a cafe..
On a sidenote, I feel that it may be time to revamp the blog a bit. Or a lot . Eventually.
The essay push, that is. Now I have to wait and see whether my resubmissions passed, and see what happens with the other essays I put it. To be fair, I am expecting a resubmission to occur. But at the moment, I am concentrating on life as it happens.
And not that I am a football fan, or anything ( I actually dread the World Cup because I know I won’t get away from it, working with a massive gang of blokes who are all obsessed with football :-p)..but this deserves to be posted
This is what I have been up to recently – a week’s holiday, with a boat trip (the dock is from Marienhamn, Aland)
Essay nonsense has also occurred, with one more essay due at the end of the month. And then it is all over (for a while, anyway, before the next re-submission!). After the essay has been submittied, it’s a few days of work for me, and then I am off to a well-deserved and a hugely expected trip to visit my friend.
On a more fashion-y and superficial level, my newest project is to learn to carry one simple bag with me. And by that I mean honing down my things to something that can be carried in a simple bag, whenever, where-ever. And that is proving to be an problem. I did find a nice last -season back from Ali&Lou today, all lovely and black with a pink lining, with straps and silver hardware. Simple yet quite edgy at the same time. But I still hanker after a Balenciaga City bag, or something on the similar ilk. One day..
Which is always quite odd. I really don’t like shopping at all, browsing through shops brings out hives in me. But internet shopping I can do, hence trawling through the net for my stuff. I am quite amazed I manage to stay in a shop for my new bag for as long as I did.
The whole start for this project was watching a huge load of ‘what’s in my purse’ videos on YouTube. Ah, such fun. I decided I wanted to have one bag that has all the stuff I need, in case someone wants to know what’s in my purse. Plus it’s a challenge for me, as I am an baglady extraordinaire. I can live in my jeans, a black t-shirt and trench coat, but bags..oh how I love them so much. With a simple change of the bag, you can make an outfit sporty, edgy, girly. Love it.
So now for the challenge. Streamlining stuff so I can fit it in the bag. Only taking important stuff. Realizing what important stuff is. Do I need hand sanitiser? So do I need three DuWop Lip Venoms, or just one? Argh. Photos to follow when I know what is important and finally sort it all out .
