Thoughts of the Week

1. I've been thinking about the direction my blog is taking. Right now I'm not sure. I blog at my own pace and about the things I want to write about, however lately it's been feeling more of a chore than an escape. Whilst I don't want to stop blogging, I may blog less frequently for a little while. I'm going to put more effort into my other blog The Lip Balm Encyclopaedia as it's been sadly neglected and it's something I'm passionate about.  
2. Instagram is less fun for me now too. It seems to be full of people asking you to like their latest post and sponsored posts for brands. It used to be a fun, interactive space with lots of pretty pictures of make-up. That's what I want more of, pretty pictures of make-up, so if you have any suggestions on who I should follow, please let me know in the comments. 
3. My love for the Clarins Lip Comfort Oils knows no bounds. I now have every shade ever released.
4. After a lazy patch the last few months, I'm back into decluttering. I'll get the junk room sorted out if it's the last thing I do! I have an ulterior motive too. I no longer wish to hang our washing on the line as it's either too hot or too cold, so I now use clothes airers. Once the junk room is cleared out that room will become the clothes airer room so I don't have to see our washing sitting in the dining room. Hah.  
5.  I've decided I'm going on a low buy. I've been talking about it for a while. It's going to happen. I haven't come up with any rules and I'm not sure that I will. I just want to make less impulsive, thoughtful purchases.
