Getting my energy levels back post that head cold. I’m feeling more human for being able to get out and get my heart rate up for a bit at the gym.

| Opening my Cotton On order at the breakfast table because it contained an emergency supply of track pants for Toddler SSG and he kind of needed them right away. |
Loving these leggings from Cotton On. They’re the core compression ones from the Active range, in the Active Core Capri style ($24.95 from memory). They sit pretty high at the waist and hold those areas in that diligent Russian twists and fit ball contortions have yet to touch. What’s not to like about that?
It’s also been a week of shattered compacts. First my MAC Studio Fix died and now my Laura Mercier blush has suffered a similar fate.
The colour is a reasonable match but it’s a bit drying on me and ends the day looking patchy.
To replace my blush, I thought I’d give Physician’s Formula pH Matchmaker ($21.95) a go. It’s a blush whose hot pink tones are meant to settle on your skin and fade to the perfect rosy blush to complement your skintone.
It comes in a snazzy light up compact.
Unfortunately for me, the end result was anything but natural. It’s quite pigmented and the shimmer did nothing for my pores. I ended up looking a bit hot and bothered on both days that I tried to wear this to work.
The moral of the story for me? Stick to what works. As luck would have it, I received a StrawberryNet ‘We Miss You’ discount in my email today so the blush situation is sorted out but sadly, StrawberryNet no longer carry MAC so I’m going to have to find a counter to get my StudioFix. Or perhaps I’ll just go online this weekend. Any other MAC raves I should have a look at?

There’s still one part of my routine that’s been missing – Offspring. I’ve heard that terrible things happened this week and that I just have to catch up if I’m to make any sense of the final two episodes of the season. Number one thing on my weekend to do list, I think.
