Hey, my beauties, it's been a while. I apologise, you could say that life has been a bit busy. But we won't get into all that. Instead, I want to talk about what I've been up to lately, as it's helped me immensely with my mood. It's either considered spring or summer, depending on what you go by. For me, I'm going to stick with spring, the weather is too mixed to call it summer YET. Right now it's raining, foggy and pretty humid, what's a girl to wear with this mixed bag? My tomato plants seem to be a fan of it, they have gone from tiny saplings to shooting up right in a matter of 2 weeks. Usually, my tomato plants that haven't flowered take a bit longer; it's a positive bonus for me, though.
Due to how I have been feeling, I have taken a more relaxing take on my garden. I have a lot of perennials planted, which are blooming beautifully. I decided to take my flamingo tree out of its pot and plant it in the ground, on the embankment, to give it more room to grow. It's only been a few weeks, and it's still settling, but the pink leaves have started to come in. I love waking up each morning, going into my garden and inspecting the plants to see what has grown. It may not be the biggest garden, but it sure is rewarding.
So what have I been up to? I took a break from a lot of things just to see how I felt about my life. I kept feeling an impending doom, and not much was bringing me joy, so I said enough was enough; it was time to change. I decided to finally learn a language, some people may think. It's French, German or Spanish, but instead I wanted to try my hand at Greek. I have always loved Greece, from the food, their way of living and how stunning it is. It's one place I want to visit, but specifically landscapes, ruins, and their rich history, I want to speak to the locals and be able to communicate with them on some level. It's one of those places I would happily move to, not just because it's by the sea, but it's a calmer and more chilled-out place to live. I believe in the evil eye and how it can protect a person from negative energy and jealous people. I have had evil eye accessories in my life for a long time, since family members gifted them to my family and me.
Speaking of Greek food, I have a list of foods I want to make, ones I've had before and new ones to try, some of which are Portokalopita (cake), Pastitsio and Spanakopita. My Greek friend (he helps with my Greek learning too) tells me all about the foods he thinks I may like or want to try and what he thinks will be fun to make and I trust his opinion. I make flat breads anyway and make my own tzatziki; they are both fairly easy to do with Greek yoghurt. Greek salads are some of my favourites to eat; they are very fresh and flavourful, and I would happily eat them daily. I like to make Gyros anyway, but it's such a basic bitch Greek food to make. Anyway, here are some flat breads I made the other day:
I also wanted to work on my health a bit more; my hormones have been all over the place, and I looked into what chemicals could cause issues. I decided to make a change and slowly start to replace what I'm using with more natural products that aren't endocrine disruptors. It kind of helps that my friend bought me a soap called donkey milk soap that you can use as a cleanser. My skin has settled down, the acne and eczema have disappeared, and my face feels even and looks glowy. I can't wait to try their other products eventually!
I'm sure you will all be surpsied to know I went back to natural red hair; my ginger roots had gone dull, I was sick of the bleach, and I felt like the pink hair was making me look aged. I feel a lot fresher-faced and feel more positive about how I look. I will always love pink, but it is a lot of upkeep and damaging. The same goes for my makeup if I'm honest, I used to use a white eyeliner to try to make myself look more awake, but since changing my skin care, my face looks brighter, as do my eyes, I really do feel like a different person lately, and that's on putting time and effort into myself, something people don't realise can change their life. Oh, let's not forget, Gizzy turned 15; she made it, and I couldn't be prouder, it's nearly been a year since she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, its been one hell of a long drawn out battle with her weight and I'm happy to say shes stable.
Hopefully, I will be back with more content as soon as I can.
You can always change your life
