Things I Recommend :D
So! In an effort to use this more, and not descend into the vagaries of Tumblr fore'er more, I'm trying really hard to think of things to post. I'm really boring, but I do encounter some good shit, so uh, here are some things I've enjoyed lately :)
♥ Don't forget to check out the flowers!
These are just in my garden, but there are flowers pretty much everywhere right now. I tend to check out other people's gardens a lot this time of year when I'm walking the dog, but if you don't want to be creepy and stop and stare into people's gardens, they're pretty gorgeous just in passing. And there's still blossom on the trees (at least up here!) and obviously that's beautiful too.
♥ Go on a picnic :D
Mum, her friend Barbara and I went on a picnic a couple of weeks ago. We went to the bluebell woods in Durham, but uh, there weren't any bluebells out. Still, everyone had a great time, and we had a nice walk with Star. I really love going on picnics, especially when someone brings along a divine lemon drizzle cake :D The weather right now is pretty much perfect for lugging bags of food around and finding somewhere fun to sit :)
♥ Cleanse your hands with sea salt!
So, a while ago Mum and I went to the Ideal Homes Show in London, and there's a section there called Ideal Woman. Whilst we were wandering around there, a very nice young lady made us try her product - salt from the dead sea rubbed over your skin, then washed off. Surprisingly, it worked really well, and our hands felt lovely for a few days after. Unfortunately, it was hellishly expensive. Mum said that probably the salt was acting as an abrasive, and was taking off the dead/dry skin, so really, any coarse sea salt should do! I bought some fairly cheap sea salt (I believe it was something like £1.50 for a box?), rubbed it over et voila, lovely feeling hands! Of course you can use it on your feet, legs, and anywhere else, I imagine.
Um, and that's it for now!
I am SICK of trying to get this post right ._. WORK DAMN YOU.
