Revenge Friday #4

 Hello Darlings x

I hope you have had a good week and I also hope you are enjoying this blog series. It has been fun writing it.

Revenge Friday and the salad that got revenge :(

So, I actually had quite a fun time doing admin in the morning and I am improving which is exciting. After, I went home, had some lunch and then I headed into town to look for some jeans. I was actually quite conflicted I was either going to stay local and browse charity shops and like go to some smaller Food & Wine type shops to stock up my pantry or I was going to go into town in search of jeans and then go to M&S. Anyway, I decided on the latter and then next week I will do a charity shop day.

Anyway, I looked everywhere for jeans and it just isn't happening. When I went to Nice a few weeks ago we had a shopping day and I ripped three pairs of jeans while trying them on, it was quite unfortunate. I know what I want, I want straight leg that isn't a wide leg, maybe slightly flared not tapered at the bottom, mid or low waist and flattering on my butt and not cropped.

This is what I want but these were slightly odd actually, like they were quite thin and so thin they looked more like trousers than jeans if that makes sense. Also, they had fake pockets. 

I picked up some food from M&S because they have some things I cannot get from Lidl. Anyway, I had no luck with jeans and it was so busy in town because it was black friday. Did anyone pick up anything good in the sales? 

(Emetophobia warning) When I got home I sort of just chilled out actually. I made myself an inconspicuous salad. I was going to go out that evening but 5 mins after eating the salad I was running to my garden, I chundered four times consecutively out my garden door. I am still shocked. Anyway, I was quite badly sick and was feeling dehydrated, so I decided to stay home and get my fluids up.

It looks so nice right? I don't understand what happened.

I did go for small plates and cocktails with my friend the next evening which was really lovely.

Christmas (don't read if you are my sister!)

I think Christmas is not happening for me this year. My Christmas plans are up in the air because I am not sure how I can get home and also do my university work, plus my Grandma's house has no wifi. Potentially I think I will be spending Christmas in Cardiff. I did pick my sister up some gifts from Glossier in the black friday sale because she said she wanted to try glossier products. I love buying my sister them sort of aesthetic beauty products. I will probably get her some other revenge gifts as well. Let me know if there is a Christmas blogpost you want to read. Leave a comment.

I hope she likes what I have picked x

What else have I got planned

Can anyone remember Cosmo in Croydon? I begged my mum to take me for like 6 years but she never did. If you don't know, cosmo is like a world food all you can eat buffet chain, I think it goes by a different name now. But yeah my friend has booked for us to go this Saturday and I am sooo excited. I am not quite sure my strategy in terms of what cuisine I am going for and I am not sure how veggie friendly it is.

It is also my friend's birthday soon and they wanted to go to the Ice Bar at Winter Wonderland- it is not normally my thing, but I was looking at pictures online and it actually looks quite fun. So yeah I booked that for him. I am so excited I think it will be so much fun.

Darlings!

Hey guys x

It has actually been such a long time. I finished all y essays last Wednesday and I had not had much time before then to post a blogpost. However, I am back now. It has been really nice just doing stuff other than university work now that my essays are handed in. I went to Hobbycraft (I spent too much), I also went to Barry one day, cocktails and I also went climbing which was sort of cringe. But yeah it has been really fun. I feel so much more healthy as well.

 I did have a lot going on in my life when I was doing my exams like it was chaos and it just occupied a lot of my time. I did watch a bit of Netflix, I watched a program called It's a Sin. It had my childhood crush in it- Olly Alexander. Yeah it was really good, very sad but also really sweet at times. I also watched Anatomy of a Scandal which is also on Netflix and it was really good too.

I thought I would share a purchase I made a few weeks ago. I get really painful period cramps and I also have heavy periods. I have always wanted to write an advice blogpost because I do have advice about managing painful heavy periods which is better advice than the NHS gives. It has always been something I wanted to blog about but I have always found it really hard to blog about, I have made a few attempts but never published them. Anyway, I thought I would try out CBD products for periods. So I purchased a CBD oil for PMS, a CBD period chocolate (just one lol) and these aren't CBD but some heat patches (x2 because I got a pack for my sister). So yeah I am really excited to try these out and hopefully they work for me. Btw I made the purchases from an online shop, Unfabled.

Sorry for my terrible photo, I probably took this at a ridiculous hour. I always feel like a psychopath (for lack of a better word) whenever I write a gift note to myself when I place an online order. 

Also, why have I been blacklisted from my local Indian takeaway? I have tried to order twice there and they just never deliver the food like it says on deliveroo that it has been delivered but it just hasn't. I also tried to ring after waiting over an hour and I legit think they have my phone number blocked. I don't know what to make of it. It was my favourite take away place.  

Anyway, I hope to be posting some fun blogposts soon. I haven't really got anything planned but I am sure I will think of something to post. Also I am going on holiday in two days time which I am so excited about. I am going for my birthday which will be nice.
