Sunday Ramble

3 October 2010

Sunday's post always ends up being a big mishmash of things I wanted to talk about during the week but didn't get time.


So here are this week's ins and outs.


IN

Home Made Banana Pecan Cake with Greek Yoghurt

My All Saints Damisi Boots

Illamasqua's Ether Powdered Metal as a cheekbone highlight

Red Lips
Specifically YSL Rouge Pur Couture #14

Changing my makeup up for Autumn / pale skin

Learning how to remove glitter nail varnish the quick way



OUT


Feeling completely exhausted every day
I don't know why....

My Feet - I am in desperate need of a pedicure!

Victoria's Secret not being available in the UK
This is just blatant stupidity!

Hate

It seems to have been a rather bad month in the world of youtube-ing and blogging for nasty comments and digs all round (actually not at me but people who I consider to be, if not friends then people I like).

Here is my stand on things:  if you are putting yourself out there then you have to be prepared for people not to like you. I don't expect everyone to like me, my blog etc. or even know who I am. I don't let it upset me as everyone gets it from bloggers to massive Hollywood Stars, it's just how life is - some people just feel the need to vocalise how much they dislike you! You can't stop them and the more you respond the more agitated it seems to make them.  This is only one line from a poem but I find it quite useful in these situations:

"The greatest pain in life is not to die, but to be ignored."

So if you really want to piss them off....ignore them!

@Abbie thanks so much, I have only just got into reds and I love them!

I love this blog-sooooo glad I found it as is my boyfriend who now doesn't have to listen to me chat about cosmetics as much - and a special thanks for the deliciously naff strictly come dancing makeup feature which has our mums/aunties xmas presents sorted. (we're on a 20quid per pressie budget as getting married on 30th Dec) Thankyou xxx

Nikki said...

Sarah I never realised how beautiful your skin is.. Even my clarisonic skin doesn't look a tenth as nice as yours (jealous much!)! Love the red lippy on you too.

Oh, and fab idea re the glitter nail polish.. I recently used a couple and they were a real b*tch to remove! Love it, thanks! xx

Tali said...

Its true.. i dont know if there is a movie quote or if its from a book but someome says

I dont hate you.. to hate you would mean I care.
OUCH! lol indifference sucks. lol id hate to be my ex boyfriends! :P xxxx

Sarah said...

@Nicky6 thanks so much, glad you like it xx Also tesco are doing some soap and glory and molton brown dupes for xmas gifts if you are on a budget xx

@Nikki I would kill for a clarisonic...well that's abit strong but you know what I mean. I am a bit skincare obsessed so nice to know my new routine has good results xx

@Tali haha too true, definitely not worth worrying about those losers x

Real Girls Beauty said...

Just a Girl said...

Wow, I have total skin envy - you're absolutely stunning! Love your make up look, the red lips look hot!

Agree with you about putting yourself out there and expecting some nastiness, it just makes me feel pity for the person that has to go around leaving nasty comments - I'd say to them go do something nice for someone rather than leaving bitter messages.

Jess said...

I chuckled at the picture of the tired cat - we all feel like that some days! :)

nicoletta said...

Laura said...

Nic's Notebook said...

Mmm banana cake is one of my favs! Love that pic of the wee kitten asleep in it's food lol..

legseleven7 said...

Nice post sweetie. Red lips make me happy. I am currently looking for boots like yours, but Ive never bought flat boots in my life so I'm kind of psyching myself up for it.
And p.s yeah i fucking hate being ignored.
lol

There is a Victoria's Secret store opening on Old Bond Street. In 2012. But I will probably be first in line.
