#33 - Sorry Captcha

The result of writing a post a day, apart from winning back my 14 readers, is that a truckload of spam is coming in.
My options were three: don’t care, it’s going into spam anyway and not into visible comments; restore the Jetpack-managed comments; insert a captcha.
I don’t like the first option because sooner or later, the day comes when the comment doesn’t go to spam but online,...

#32 - Inglot Cosmetics Freedom System Lip Gloss 205

Lip Gloss 205

Preamble: I don’t have a good relationship with glosses; I consider them to be the Cinderellas of make-up, a kind of game in itself because they are usually very shiny and last less than from Christmas to Boxing Day (i.e. almost nothing).
Most of the glosses are also very sticky,

#31 - The universal wish list

Today being the feast of the Immaculate Conception, Christmas is starting to get very close, and the problem of presents becomes pressing. Amazon’s universal wishlist is a very convenient tool to save what I would like to buy and show others what I would like.

#30 - The Thirteenth Palette

No, this is not the title of a new z-horror film, but a confession.
I can’t resist Sleek’s 12-colour palettes, EUR 9.90.

#29 - Two Fitocose must-haves

One of the Fitocose products I have been using for years and is my trusty winter companion is the Aloe and Azulene cream from Fitocose.
It’s rich, non-greasy, moisturises just right, and defends against the cold.
All Fitocose products have excellent INCIs, so apart from allergies to specific ingredients, there is no need to check them.
The discovery a few days ago was the Mallow fluid cleanser,...

#28 - Six years

Six years ago, I would not have imagined how much has changed our lives, for better or worse.
For good, it has changed that we have arrived here together, and every day spent together has meaningand direction.
Happy birthday my sweet half; we deserve to celebrate today.
Thank you for being there,...

#27 - Another personal best

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working within a 10-minute walk from home for just one day.
On Monday, I was in one office, yesterday in another, and today, of course, in yet another (the farthest and hardest to reach of the three, of course).
Changing three offices in one week was also something that had never happened to me....
