LUSH Cosmetics Pack

Mail brough me some Lush products yesterday, and I'm super excited about them. I got some shampoo, a sample of a shower gel and some hair balm for split ends.
They seem lovely thus far, although they are very strongly scented, which doesn't bother me while I'm using them, but when I have the smell all around me all day long, it's a bit too much...I'm really sensitive for smells, so I don't even use any perfume, so these are maybe a bit too strongly scented for me, but as they might make my shampoo bills cheaper I'm not going to complain!


Ultimate Shine shampoo, for shining hair

Cinnamon-y shampoo

Flying Fox shower gel

Shine So Bright hair balm -  very scented!

Today will be quiet

I'm going to Tampere to celebrate Burns Night (a bit late, but no matter) and so won't be posting as much as usual. Only for the better, right?
I hope you all have as much fun as I hope I'm going to have (hey, it's haggis and whiskey, how's it not fun?), so let the quiet but fun days begin!

Today's thoughts on depression and manga

Saw my psychiatric nurse today again, and she's really the sweetest ever. I am happy I'm seeing such a lovely person and I don't have to be afraid of being judged or considered insane by the person who's talking with me and trying to help me. She's really sweet and even though I got dreadful scores on the BDI test (seriously depressing scores), she was really nice to me about it and we went to agree that a high score doesn't mean you're crazy, it's just natural after such a taxing life as mine (and seeing as my life is easy compared to some people's...)



Went to see my gran too today, she can be taxing at times herself, but she's a nice old lady all in all. These days. She didn't use to be. But I won't get into that.



Went to the store too and bought some danish pastries which I'm not going to eat before Saturday since I'm on my 30 day no sugar challenge. Yay, go me. I'm really a weirdo buying cakes when I'm not even allowed to eat them. It's like buying food when you're trying to starve. Well no, not even in the least. It's idiotic to starve yourself, it's a good thing not to eat too much sugar.



Also bought some Japan inspired magazines, one about anime and manga and the other one about both those and music. There are a few events in the next few months about manga and anime and cosplay, and I'm not really sure if I'll go or not, but I wanted to get myself updated on the latest news, 'cause I've been out of the loop for a loong loooong time. It's sad though since I used to be really into both, though much more into manga than anime, but I lost touch with it after beginning my studies and not having any money to buy books and not wanting to read anything online, it just sort of went away. I've lost touch with a lot of my favourite activities because of my studies, and it's sort of sad.
