Scotland series #1 - Evening strolls in Glasgow

Image
I have been to Scotland  before , but wasn't taken to it much. Not surprising considering My previous it was a short  trip (over 3 day weekend) and exhausting with jam-packed schedule & non-stop travelling. While I enjoyed the time with my friends, it turned out to be mainly a weekend long photo shoot (not that I am complaining 😜). Our tour guide is London based and didn't know much about the places we been to. No wonder I did not admire Scotland in the way it deserved🥺. Last year, 2 days before my planned return to India from England, I was to told my assignment was extended and I had to travel to Glasgow. I wasn't so excited as I was quite tired and partly glad to head back home to a more relaxed workspace. Moreover, I had to cancel my tickets, make travel & accommodation arrangements (which was a nightmare with my debit card cancelled😥), courier my extra luggage (domestic travel restrictions😏), re-pack my stuff, prep to deal with the issue which got my trip...

Project Pan 10

I have been watching quite a few de-clutter videos lately, but I don’t think I could ever do something like that. I do occasionally throw away some stuff which crossed its life span and went bad and it breaks my heart to do so💔. I’d rather minimise my purchases and get stuff only when I finish my products which are in use (I often buy before finishing, but I refrain from opening them). That brings to the category which is more suitable for me - Project PAN🥳. Now, there are multiple types of this project - finishing up the listed products in specific duration, not buying new products or not using any other products until listed products are emptied. I am going to mix first and third - I will try to finish up the selected products by end of 2020 and, while the product is in use, I wouldn’t open a new product in that specific category. Ex: I will open my Mac eye pencil only after my Clinique one ends. I have 2 categories - products with and without colour options. I usually have sing...

Mar and Apr Empties

Thanks to the lock-down, there is not many products I am using - makeup is non-existent and skin care reduced drastically too mainly due to lethargy😴. Unaffected categories are hair care and body care. March anyway have wider variety. 1. TBS Banana shampoo: I left behind unopened bottle before I went on my assignment and bought back travel pack of conditioner from same variant. With Satsuma scrub, shower time turned to fruity fun for a while🍌🍊. I was afraid, it might not clean my scalp well as it didn't lather much. But it did a good job without drying the tresses - adding conditioner might have helped. I replaced this with John Frieda detox range. I am planning to repurchase Moroccan oil shampoo, so might not get this in near future. 2. Bioderma micellar water: My all time favorite🥰. I tried many micellar waters but nothing came close to this one. I didn't have enough space to get this from Paris pharma haul, but it's easily available in India and price differ...
