Reflections,
observations, random thoughts, mental notes!
|
Achieved
an excellent “suction” noise during the press and roll, much better than the
noise of silent scrubbing ; )
Using
Body care products brings much required harmony, enabling me to appreciate my
skin as a whole and gently direct the focus away from my face.
Rose
Body Oil has the most wonderfully indulgent Turkish Delight aroma, which made
me recall a lovely description of this sweet – see quote of the day.

My
Skin
How
comfortable does my skin feel after cleansing?
|
The
cleansing routine has already calmed a lot of the “angriness” from my skin.

Activities
& Mood:

I
was in a glorious sunshine mood as I embarked on a very early riverside walk. I spotted a photo opportunity for the “Hauschka at the Olympics” competition
currently running on their Facebook page. Well, actually I had originally determined
to put some Fitness balm in the statue’s hand. Alas, I could not reach, and
several people were pulling “Step away from Sir Steve!” faces…..
My
cheeky, chipper mood was somewhat dampened by the discovery of litter strewn
along the riverbanks (disposable barbeques, beer cans, crisp packets, ice
cream tubs etc.). It makes me so sad to think that people can be so
inconsiderate. As I stomped along,
dark thoughts brewing, I noticed a beautiful Cormorant sitting drying his
wings on a danger sign. This made me
smile and reminded me of the dangers of negative thoughts (although, I must
admit to a few more when I discovered the British gymnastic team were relegated to bronze ..hmmmpff!)

Quote
for the day:
|
“Turkish delight has had a bad
reputation since that man C.S Lewis- a positive genius in other ways - linked
it for ever with one of the most terrifying creations in literature, the
White Witch of Narnia, and that naughty, sticky, traitorous Edmund. But with
the sensuous pleasure imbued in its melting, gelatinous texture, and, when
made in the proper way, delicately perfumed with rose petals, flavoured with
oils and dusted with sugar, it reclaims its power as a sweet as seductive as
Arabian nights. The fact that it now carries with it a whiff of danger merely
adds to its pleasure. It is not, truly, a sweet for children. They simply
complain, and get the almonds stuck up their noses” - Jenny Colgan – Rosie Hopkins Sweetshop of
Dreams
