Blogging Bad!

I don't get to blog much anymore just too much to do and its really annoying, when I started this blog it was meant to be a proper one not just sticking little bits in here and there. I had ideas big ideas but as usual they have bitten the dust.  Life just seems to be revolving round how to get through the day without too many mishaps.  Mum still isn't well she came out of hospital and now has a facial abscess, but luckily her Vitamin B12 load up injections will finish on Wednesday so she may be feeling a little better by then.  It just seems that this has been a bit of a long haul, two hospitalisations in two months and plenty more going on with her.  I guess old age has finally caught up with her she is after all 84!!

Ive been buying out buying some clothes in between everything.  It started off mainly because Mum has lost such a lot of weight she doesn't fit into anything anymore.  I picked a couple of outfits for her which I knew she would like, and I managed to sneak in a few for me.  Money has been so tight over the last couple of years or so and the body also seems to have changed shape and I really have nothing much to wear that actually goes with something else and that actually fits.  I finally had to give in and go up another size in jeans.  Luckily the ones I picked up fitted perfectly and then I noticed the price, they were in the sale .... so I picked up a couple of more pairs.  I can honestly say I never ever find things that I like and that fits properly in one go but this time I did.  I also bought a really cute cardigan but I'm not really sure about it, I love it but .... not sure whether it loves me.  At my age you would have thought I would be able to work it out wouldn't you!  I moved on to Tee shirts and blouses hmm now you have another story.  Not one white tee shirt in sight and not one white blouse that fitted I was gutted. Mind you at least I have underwear and jeans to wear out now hahahaha.

Hospitals oh hospitals again

A quick post Mum not at all well last week with several trips to the docs and hossies for xrays and blood tests.  Friday another trip to get the results and then she was admitted to hospital again.  Am waiting to see whats what now I left her last night in one ward and now she is another.  Keeping everything crossed they can sort things out for her.

Eye Spy

As we all age makeup is harder to do with all the fine lines that appear on the skin out of nowhere hehehe.  I firmly believe wear what you want to wear on your face and don't be afraid to do your  own thing and dont follow the fashion if you don't want to.  Some people are not keen on  makeup and some people are.  I personally think a little makes us feel better well it does to me.  Do not take any notice of any of these magazines that say you cannot wear black eye liner after a certain age ... its rubbish.  I love a good old smokey eye!  A good tip though is to use a pencil eyeliner and either a) smudge it a little or b) dust some eyeshadow on the top of it or do both, the end result is lovely.  Even try using a black that has got little shimmer, it sounds awful but I tell you it looks great.  Try Clinique Black Diamond Shaper for eyes its good.  Or if you prefer matt with no shimmer try Clarins Waterproof Eye pencil, it has pencil on one end and smudger on the other.  Both are good for the eyes, they don't drag and are soft and they work well.  They obviously are more expensive than some brands but its worth it.  I am sure there are others that work as well more expensive and less expensive, but these two work for me.  Curl the eyelashes with eyelash curler and add lashings of mascara and that's the basics of a good eye.  If you are adding eyeshadow into the mix make sure you prime the eye first.  Boots No 7 eye brightener is a good one to use although use it sparingly, again there are plenty of other makes on the market and its best to find one that works for you, but Boots works for me. Work the eyeshadow using a brush and make sure you blend blend and blend again, there is nothing worse than lines et voila!
