This is me, now (May review)


Listening... Pendulum, Glee, Alicia Keys, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime (my summer classic EVERY year!)
Reading... The last few pages of LA Candy by Lauren Conrad and I'm actually beginning to enjoy New Moon, although I haven't progressed too far!
Watching... EastEnders (as always!), Extreme Makeover: Home Edition but it always makes me cry, Million Pound Drop or whatever it was called!
Buying... Oh God, I've been buying everything this month :/ First ever Primark visit cost me a fortune, as did discovering lovemakeup.co.uk... oh and some cordless hedge trimmers for Dad's early Father's Day present :)
Wanting... OK so this one is not from May but oh well! It's to find the current issues of Glamour magazine with the free Benefit make-up. It's completely sold out in my town, and I'm very grumpy about it.
Trying... to restrain from jumping in the car to search out said Glamour magazines further afield. Sensible realisation that the petrol cost will outweigh the freebies is holding me back. I still have the hump about it though.
Loving... hot weather, light evenings (yippee!), swimming, Cambridge in summer = beautiful.
Planning... my new garden. I'm finally calling in the professionals!
Making... pizza to watch with this evening's England v US World Cup match. I'm not really enthusiastic about the World Cup this time around for some reason. Other years I get swept along in the hysteria, but we will probably get knocked out early as usual so I can't be bothered. I'll still watch our matches though :)
And I say I'm "making" pizza - in reality I'm just popping lots of yummy random toppings etc onto a base!
Writing... not enough blog posts! Am shockingly behind on my Mass Observation assignments too, must must must get scribbling... (hmmm, this hasn't changed from last month!)
Cooking... not as often as usual due to swimming schedule! (this looks familiar too!)
Inspired by... finally feeling happier within. The world is starting to look much brighter!

Lovely post - I have the concealer pencil thing and I don't like it, it's yours if you want it? Only used it twice - you can have my mag as well, I don't even like Glamour!!! x

@.... x Hel x ....: Thank you sweetie, it's amazing - I feel as if I have surfaced after being underwater for a year, fingers crossed the happy, confident "old me" is coming back xx
I'm a wee bit anxious about the garden now tbh, I think that it's going to cost me an arm and a leg :/ my landscape gardener has come up with some brilliant ideas though! I'll definitely make it a feature in several blogposts :) xx

Hey, I love the Twilight Saga, but I have to say New Moon is a bit of a drain & the movie was not what I expected, but I can't wait for Eclipse & especially Breaking Dawn =] xo
