September blog
So September isn’t Septembering like it should. That insane heatwave has honestly done me in. As you know, I am an autumn girl. I love the colours, the fashion, the energy. I even love a good horror film so Halloween is top 2 out of my favourite holidays (obvs Christmas being no.1). As we had such a poor weather turnout for the school holidays I had resigned myself to the fact that we weren’t going to have a summer and to start getting excited for autumn. I had even started putting summer clothes away and ordering big cardigans and new uggs. The BAM 💥 that sun was like “I’m sorry I’m late let’s jam it all in a two week period” and now here comes the torrential rain. This weather is giving me whiplash. But I’m all on the cosy vibes, big jumpers, thick socks and comfy all the way. Anyways let’s see what’s inspiring is this month…
Item of the month
The initial ring
I love getting orders for these as gifts for your loved ones. It’s such a cute little piece and I was guided to pick this piece for September. We only use high grade sterling silver, it will always polish back to brand new. Just remember to keep it away from lotions and potions. Oh and please…those jewellery stands are a big NO NO. The jewellery is left out to absorb all chemicals in its environment. It’s always advised to keep jewellery in an air tight bag.
Hair inspo
So in last months blog I spoke about extensions. I’m going for a new look for 2024 but before I have extensions put in I want to grow my natural hair out and play around with it a bit more before going for the plunge of long hair. I’m loving this mid length tousled look. Gone are the 90’s vibes of straight sleek hair stuck to your face and I couldn’t be happier about this. I have an oval shaped face so my hair needs body otherwise I’m left looking a little like toe CGI version of Wednesday Addams 🤦🏼♀️.
Outfit inspo
I always find September and October to be tricky months when it comes to styling my outfits. You can wake up to torrential rain and dress warm and cosy, then by the afternoon it’s full on summer heat and you’re left sweating and feeling so uncomfortable. So I tend to go for layers, I go from summer camis to a tshirt vibe with a cardigan. I love this look as I’ve always been so self conscious about my love handles so always like to have a loser fit around that area.
Nail inspo
Transitioning in to autumn winter with these gorgeous plum and mustard tones. I love a colour mix for my nails as I always like to put a little individual touch to my outfit, accessories and nails.
Beauty product of the month
Tatti lashes
I will gate keep no longer. These are my every single day lashes. I have never been good at applying strip lashes and gave up for years. Then my friend recommended Tatti Lashes, and off my adhd hyperfixation went and I watched YouTube videos on how to apply and made my order. You can order the whole kit that comes with clusters, glue and tweezers. I use the style Mon Cherie for a full effect, you can buy different styles for different looks. YouTube Tatti Invisi Lash Application for the best tips on how to apply. You will never pay for lash extensions again 💯
Book Of The Month
Some fiction this month and I’m hooked. I started this the other day and I love the short chapters. As someone with ADHD I find it hard to stay focused when it comes to reading. I often have to re-read pages because my minds wondered elsewhere. This is an easy read and I love the sinister feel to it. I’m all about escapism when it comes to reading and this has done the job so far
Monthly Mantra
If you only knew the way I speak to myself. I honestly don’t get it, we can give so much love to others but reject it for ourselves. We are all we’ve got right to the very end. We have got ourselves through the darkest days, we have kept one foot in front of the other and overcome so much. Yet we speak to ourselves worse than any enemies we may have had. Change that thought process, so many dear friends of mine struggle with anxiety. The way I hear them speaking about themselves breaks my heart. So I always tell them, every day say 5 positive things about yourself. Do you know how many people actually struggle to say just one positive thing about themselves. So please, if you are struggling, start each day with gratitude. Make a list of things that you har grateful for. Throw in some positive notes about yourself too. Let’s start loving ourselves the way we have thrown love out to other people.
So this months monthly mantra…YOU DECIDE. Make it a personal and positive one. I’m going for “I am smashing it in every aspect of my life”
And on that note I’m going to leave you with our small business shoutout
