Last time I had painted nails was August 2019. Fingers and toes were given a treat for my nephew Thomas’s wedding to his beautiful Chloi.
During lockdown my nails have, for whatever reason, become quite strong and not a bad shape to say I never do a thing to them. I decided to have a bit of an online shop over at Barry M Cosmetics. A mid price range company. One I know friend Vix uses for her nail polishes.
After a check of my makeup bag I realised everything in it was years old. Not very hygienic I’m sure, so I’ve replaced my mascara, added a nude lipstick and a much needed blusher. That’ll probably be me done now for the next two years haha. The makeup bag was off Spitalfields Market, London a few years ago and cost £4. Sometimes its used as a bag when I just need my keys, phone and hankie. I’ll be adding handsanitzer to it now I suppose.
Took Mum out for lunch to our favourite tearoom and farm shop
As I’ve been shopping there during lockdown and have been a friend of this family run business for years I knew we would be well looked after and everything would be in order. And it was. We both enjoyed a beautiful roast beef lunch and Mum had one of their renowned whimberry pies with custard. I didn’t slack myself and had jam roly poly pudding and custard. I’m not joking when I said I could have licked the plates clean it was all so good.
I couldn’t leave the wandering welder out could I.
“There’s a couple of things in my basket you might like to get your hands on”. I informed him
Keep staying safe and local

I love the range of Barry M nail polishes you got. I'm absolutely hopeless at applying nail polish, so I limit it to my toes in Summer, as they're not on view up close! I'm a bit of a make-up addict, and have to tear myself away from make-up counters at the chemist. Not being able to shop has put a stop to that haha! Glad to hear that you got a lovely lunch at the Tearoom with your Mum. That must have been such a treat for both of you! xxx
ReplyDeleteInternet shopping is very useful and my makeup bag was due a revamp. It was quite exciting when it all arrived. I’ve ordered a couple of new dresses and a jumper as well. I’ve gone up a dress size recently and I don’t like wearing clothes that are too tight. Any excuse for a new outfit haha xxx
Deletemy mum has ordered some Barry m for me and they are on their way to me as japan post was holding items at customs due to covid, I know it’s lots of nail polish, some English books, sweets and tummy medicine that I can’t get over here and essentials as Japanese don’t smell and are the size of small teenagers. And I was running of out of hair bleach, so she did me a big shop, well a family shop. I just prey that it doesn’t get held up!
ReplyDeleteAs the import shop is really expensive. I am glad you had a good time, I miss Roly polly!
I hope your parcel has arrived Allie, it sounds like a real treat. I hadn’t had roly poly for years. I don’t even know why I was tempted to it, but it was really good xx
DeleteThat Barry M looks fantastic on you, one of my favourite colours! I'm like you with make-up, I've had the same stuff for years and never try anything new so it's really exciting when you treat yourself, you don't know where to start first! xx
ReplyDeleteI didn’t put the polish on properly and it’s gone chippy already. Think it needed a base coat, which I haven’t got. More online shopping me thinks haha xxx
DeleteOh my goodness, whimberry pie and custard! My Mum and Gran used to make them (if my memory serves me well, I think we used to pick the berries on the moors?) and just the thought of them is making my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteMum loved it. I’m partial to a bit of strawberry and apple pie when it’s on the menu.
