Life Update
I’ve been MIA over the last 2 months. As previously mentioned, I relocated to the UK. I moved in with my Great Aunt and Uncle while getting settled. Last month, my beloved Aunt passed away. It was devastating for the whole family. She truly was and is the great matriarch from our family. Slowly things are getting back to normal, but it doesn’t feel normal with her not here. I sit her in her house with my uncle and we feel her missing everyday. I guess it was good timing for me to move across the world because I’m somewhat able to keep my uncle company. The best thing I can do is to remember her and get back to real life. Part of “real life” for me includes blogging.
Beauty Update
The past couple of months have been an adjustment. Everyone asks if I’m culture shocked, but it doesn’t feel weird to be here. I did grow up in England so it feels somewhat normal. I’ve finally stopped saying dollars when I mean pounds…and I’ve stopped converting everything to dollars before I purchase. The biggest adjustment has probably been for my hair and skin. They are so dry. I have never been this ashy in my life! In Florida, I could easily get away with not moisturising my hair or only putting hand cream on the bits of my skin that were showing. Not here. Everything is just dry, dry, dry. I think that could be due to the weather and the water. I’ve also been styling my hair a lot.
Blog Update
I have a few style pics that I want to share. My hair is currently in mini twists. I’ll probably leave them in for a month total. I have some product reviews to post from items that were sent to me. I’ve only used them once, so I want to give it more time before I give my final review. I’ll also be hosting a product giveaway, so stay tuned for that.
Thanks for continuing to visit, read, and comment on the blog. I’m happy to be back posting once a week. 🙂
Sorry for your loss, Jay.
I find it to be drier here in the summer months and less so in the winter. I’m yet to find an effective way to keep my hair moisturised in the summer. From autumn to spring glycerine is my friend. Welcome to the UK.
Thank you. I’ve never liked glycerin on my hair but I guess it’s worth revisiting. I have revisited coconut oil because it’s cheap and so far it’s not making my hair hard and it’s helped with my dry skin and scalp. I’m originally from the UK but settling down here as an adult is new to me. 🙂
