September reset

[FauxFox]

I love September, it’s like a NY feeling for me and I am going to take the opportunity to turn over a health and beauty new leaf 😊
less booze (much) more water
some kind of exercise every day (even if it’s just a walk)
being outside every day
eating whole food not UPFs
something each day for beauty routine (I started this already actually - did the foot peel socks two days ago, dyed my hair yesterday and currently have a sheet mask on that promises to rejuvenate and brighten my skin!)

little things, nothing extreme just a quiet focus on being kind to myself and hopefully creating a lifestyle that will leave me with more energy and able to look and feel my best.

any recommendations for vitamins/supplements that actually make a difference welcomed, I feel like I should take something but instagram is overwhelming me with miracle potions and I don’t believe them!

Ooh, I love TK Maxx beauty product roulette! Might be good, might be shit, you never know! The only rule is, if it’s good you’ll never ever find it again 😂

So true @Castlerigg 🤣

i have managed to secure a long overdue appointment to get my eyebrows shaped this morning then I am going out for lunch with my friend, considering denim maxi skirt, short sleeve faun jumper and faux shirt collar… so hard to know what to wear in this in between weather…

have a lovely day all!

I book in at the John Lewis beauty bar in September. Like a personal shopper but for makeup.

I fear the beauty counter people @Epoisses i have dread that I will come away looking like a drag queen and be awkward-ed into spending a fortune 🤣

OK day yesterday, eyebrows are huge improvement - my friend asked if I had had Botox 😁 did drink wine but food was healthy. am doing well on drinking loads of water but it does mean you have to go to the loo all the time!

I feel like you OP! I went to the hairdresser yesterday and am paying more attention to looking after my feet and legs as I get dry skin after the summer. (There's a great thread on here about leg health - must look it up!). I also went for a run yesterday. I wasn't dressed for running but just felt like it so started running. 😁

Found it!

I am having a look at some recipes to try and do a meal plan for the week - I don’t eat meat (do eat fish) and I really want to learn some dishes with lentils/chickpeas etc in them, am a big fan of Ottolenghi and they have some interesting ones I am going to try out.

have already got soaked in the rain once today which has made me feel that I would like a long hot bath this evening, I hardly ever have a bath and do have a lovely bath oil from Christmas so looking forward to using that 😊

Love your spontaneous run @hastenotwaste - have to act when the mood strikes! 😁

TKMaxx is also my favourite shop, I’ve had some brilliant beauty buys and I love a good browse.

I’m off work currently so can’t afford to spend but I’ve got enough clothes and make-up/toiletries to see me through, just need to resist the urge with all the lovely new things in the shops and get creative with what I’ve got.

I didn’t have any alcohol yesterday, and had a low carb dinner (fridge dregs really), and I’ve been to the gym this morning. I also cleaned and put in some earrings that have been sitting in a bowl waiting for at least a month.

I am going to look at some A/W clothes , I'm not sure what is in but I really fancy something purple. More blue purple than red purple but I need to see what's out there. I also love paisley print .
I need another reset on weight loss , I did really well in June then went off the wagon so need to step up again. I can do it and as it is less than 110 days till Christmas, then when I get to the 100 I'll start my new regime .
At the moment , topical things like hair masks, face serums and masks are making me look more cared for .

I have to book a hair appointment too

Love a plummy purple/burgundy in autumn @70isaLimitNotaTarget hopevyou find something nice. I would like to lose half a stone to be at a happier weight, I am hoping that being a bit mindful and roughly calorie counting on an app will do it as I am no good at being strict, love food too much!

I got my hair colour done on friday eveing so feeling good that's sorted

I bought 2 new blouses on vinted as i have decided to upgrade my work wardrobe. I am considering getting a hanging rail for the spare room & seperating my work stuff so i can see it easily

I'm pretty good about manicures and pedicures, but when I don't have time, I really like the Manicurist active polishes.

My diet is generally good, but we were away for 6 weeks this summer, lots and lots of restaurant and more cocktails than usual, so I'm trying to do a real bump back down to earth, and I'm really liking this nutritionist. I've just ordered her book.
