My Lockdown Confession

As we are coming to the end of lockdown I have a confession. The truth shall set you free and all that. I know people have hoarded toilet rolls or stupid amounts of pasta. But I clearly had different priorities. When everyone was running in and out of supermarkets in the week leading up to lockdown, which started on the 23rd March in England, I was running to Lush cosmetics. There I said it.

When people asked what I thought, I said that I believed the lockdown would last until July, and I prioritised my wellbeing over my belly basically. I woke up with a clear plan one morning and £55 later walked back into my house feeling oh so accomplished. Genuinely, I feel like life is all types of mad and I’m always crashing. But as long as I stay in tune with my emotions and fleek my self-care interventions, I’ll get back up and the show will go on.

I know I Skrrr skrr’d past the £55. Ok so I bought my usual batch of face cleanser and facial oil. It works, my skin doesn’t lie. Yeah, then I panicked after my initial purchase and bought another batch of both.

Then as I walked around Lush allowing myself to be hypnotized by the smells I came to the wise conclusion after having a management meeting with myself, that if I was going to be spending so much time at home I’d need to have regular bath meetings with myself so bought a couple or 4 or 5 bath bombs/fizz.

Then I remembered how lazy I was and that I found creaming after drying tedious so… I bought 2 body conditioning things. Life-changing! Imagine creaming in the bath or shower and being moisturised when you get out.

Right about now I’m down to my final few products and I might have had 99 problems during lockdown. But my skincare and self-care days weren’t one!
