Shopping from look fantastic

Image
I always find better deals in online shopping sites, plus they're super convenient - no commute to store, no long queues, no claustrophobic aspect etc., However, while I was in London, I quite enjoyed shopping in stores. There are super drug and boots stores almost every corner and, most days, we used to roam around those stores during lunch or coffee breaks. They also have amazing offers very often and billing always take very less time no matter how long the queue is. As a result, I never explored on-line options for cosmetics/skincare unless the product I was looking for is out of stock in the store and, even in that case, I order from their website to be picked up from store - I find online shopping in London with home delivery option not very convenient. So I went on my merry way, store hopping, until I left London which is when I remembered lot of things I wanted to buy and missing the Christmas deals added to my misery. Then, while I am adding to the pain browsing through t...

Emptied from Sep to Dec 2016

Life is not only about achieving huge milestones but celebrating smaller achievements too. Recently I am trying to appreciate my little accomplishments (mostly because I am not doing anything major 🤐) and one of them is emptying up the products 👼.  It's not a lot in 3 months but definitely an improvement considering most of my products used to go to trash expired and half full. Brief overview: Aussie colour mate shampoo: I didn't get to try everything I like to in my short tenure in London and, while stocking on things I like, I had to make space for stuff I wanted to try. Aussie shampoo belong to that category and, since I got my hair highlighted, picked the colour mate variant. Even though I didn't dislike it, I didn't like it very much either. Actually I am not quite liking the products in coloured hair range so far, probably because they are not working on my other concerns (greedy much?).

Day trips from London #4 - Cambridge

Image
I might have lost the sequence here - not able to recollect if my 4th trip is Brighton or Cambridge and, since I don't have any pics from Brighton trip, couldn't check the photos for reference. Also major gap in the day trips, which happened due to 2 reasons, added to my forgetfulness. After going to Windsor, I got my schengen visa and went to Paris and also booked Spain tour almost immediately which is quite exciting but made me super cautious about my expenses to afford those trips. Another most irritating reason is that the work load increased significantly resulting in 7 work days a week. urghh 😤😡.  Anyway, going with Cambridge for now. Following the streak of travelling on our own, plus more newly joined people in team (everyone is enthusiastic first 2-3 trips 🙃), we took a train to Cambridge one fine Sunday morning (or was it Saturday?😕).  It was a nice, moderately sunny day and as usual the train ride was amazing. We picked up few flyers, with information ...
