This has just been one of those weeks. I can’t really sugar coat it, because sometimes in life there are weeks which are just a bit meh and this was one of them. It was a perfect storm of so many little things which just became overwhelming and then some really rubbish weather. Fortunately after an unsettling, busy week I did finish last night with a lovely dinner out with friends, it was very much needed.

New nails. A colleague recommended a new nail bar and I popped in for some new acrylics as a test before the big holiday nails! I’m very happy, it was a lovely salon and I look forward to returning next month.

A Vinted find. I found a gorgeous Boden dress on Vinted this week at a really good price. It’s arrived and is top quality and looks beautiful on. I love a Vinted find.

Oh William. I was curious to read an Elizabeth Stroud novel as she has been recommended. However it wasn’t one that I was particularly taken by, the characters irritated me but then again that could just be my time in life as ..

Hot flushes. I’ve really been hit by menopause symptoms lately and I’m sure this week my mood has been worsened by poor sleep due to night sweats, such an odd experience. There’s also the constant changes in temperature, my body is so confused.

Rescue Remedy. I have found myself dipping into my RR pastilles this week, keen to use anything that could help maintain some equilibrium in my life.

I’m relieved it’s a quiet week coming up, hopefully it’ll help me feel a little more in control and the sunshine is due to return which always puts me in a good mood.
