Life has been crazy! 2020 has completely been a write off…or has it? The world is currently in a crazy and surreal time and for me, personally, I’ve been lost. I have barely been functioning. I go to work every weekday and I come home. My plans for eating healthier, being more positive, trying to build a well-being regime to try to overcome the negative side effects of living with Anxiety and Depression just did not happen. I’ve been plodding along and I have been struggling. Plans for self improvement have fallen by the way-side and it is time to stop. Reassess and try to get back on track. I had initially planned for that to be starting in June…and then July and well it’s the 4th of July but the importantly thing is I am trying to take baby steps back into being more positive.

Day 1: Today.

I have been wanting to sort my nails out for a while. I used to give myself gel nails and they looked nice, but a temporary work transfer to a warehouse and manual labour took their toll on my nails. So did the chewing off my fake nails on more than one occasion, but we are going to gloss past that. We are also going to gloss past the chewing on the real nails too. Long story short, my nails are in need of love and care. I need to give them some love and care. I will share more in a more in-depth post, hopefully, if I can actually manage to get into the habit of writing on my blog again!

My face, building a wellness and well being routine. Coming home from work and giving myself some much needed self love. Taking the time to have a break each day after work and spending some time to relax and look after myself. A little act of self love. I recently past a mile stone in my training at work so I took the opportunity to treat myself with some new products. They arrived three days ago and on the Thursday they came and yesterday, Friday, I did spend some time applying them and looking after my skin and I felt good having spent the time giving myself some self love and wellness.

My hair. Probably like everyone’s hair currently is struggling. I am unhappy with it and it needs a cut. It is gross and currently in need of a wash but I am putting that off to let those natural oils build up to give it a boost. I used to wash my hair once a week but with my hair looking awful, the fringe has gone and it is in the awkward trying to grow phase, that I don’t actually want to go through – I want a fringe!!! Plus there is the ugly ass forehead. I swear my forehead is too big and it needs to be covered with a fringe. I hate it. It needs a cut. Thankfully, the hairdresser’s are back opening in the UK TODAY and my hair appointment is booked in and I look get that sorted. I’ve always treated myself to a hair mask in the attempt to try and nurture my hair and a headscarf to try and protect my hair as I sleep.

So this blog? Where is it going? I don’t know, honestly. I am just writing it for myself. I don’t actually think anyone reads it anyway but I am enjoying writing. I need a creative outlet and I would like to work on that a bit more. I have set myself a challenge to at least write three blog posts from this one so who knows, hopefully another blog post may follow shortly. Who can say? I do think it is time to start reclaiming 2020 back though!
