It's been a rough old week. I have come very close to crying off sick from work virtually every day this week but always ended up closing the e-mail or Skype call to my boss.
Most of my issues this week have been caused by Vestibulitis and I don't think it's a coincidence that it has been worse since the failed Mirena Coil rummage last week.
The nerve endings down there have been on fire, and it's made me feel grumpy and unable to settle at night. Resulting in lots of interminable tossing and turning and tutting.
When I'm unable to sleep, I get stressed about not being asleep and being exhausted in the morning. So, of course the brain weasels decide it's the perfect time to have a loud conversation.
Sometimes it feels like the Malkovich? Malkovich scene in Being John Malkovich.
Hooray for terrorising yourself.
Hair today, gone tomorrow
One of the things that regularly chips away at my self-esteem is the perimenopausal hair loss. Over the last few years my hair feels like it has just been getting thinner and thinner.
I've tried various volumising and thickening shampoos over the years with little success, but for the last week I have been using Watermans Grow Me shampoo and Condition Me conditioner.
It's early days of course, but so far I am pleased. My hair feels like it has a bit more oompf and I have already noticed less hair fall in the shower and my brush.
I will report back with my findings after I have used it for longer.
It's a wrap!
Continuing my love-in with Snag Tights, I have been very pleased to see them continue to branch out into other clothing. I have some of their skirts and leggings which I wear almost exclusively.
I recently invested in their new Snag-Ra. I'm at home most of the time so I don't want to be wearing uncomfortable wired bras all the time, but I still want my bosoms to have some decent support.
GAME. CHANGER.
I'm no longer being prodded, poked and squeezed and I can walk around without worrying about tripping over myself or hitting myself in the face!
It should be possible to feel comfortable without sacrificing looking and feeling nice.
After an uncomfortable week in my body and my mind; and because it's Friday and I got through the week, I have boosted my self-esteem a little with some lippy and my new plum wrap dress from Snag.
I might be spending the evening quietly (likely involving a film and book), but that doesn't mean I can't feel a bit fabulous too.
