  1. Peer Pressure
]]> I am that sort of person who belives that a woman can never have too many handbags (and hats and scarves). Because I bought too many handbags in the past and they are taking up all the space in the wardrobe, once upon a time I got panic about it. Then for about a little while (yes I think it was only for about a couple of years), I stopped buying bags, of course with a very big effort that I had to make to resist all the temptations:-( 

Just recently I got so drawn into Country Road canvas bags, that my old problem sort of came back. I am out of control.

On this Saturday, we went to the Country Road shop in Woden Plaza. I tried almost all the canvas bags available in the shop, with Vivian playing aside and my husband waiting by side too. I ended up getting two bags home. One was woollen felt grey colour with white belt, more for the winter scene; another is classic denim with brown belt. I was also very indecisive between this denim one and another stripy black and white one in the shop. I went to Denim one just because I felt like it at that moment. But I did believe that I probably will come back very soon and get another one just to make a collection.

Apart from these two new bags, I was given by my colleague an old black one. I washed and scrubbed it and it came out quite nicely. So I have 3 Country Road Canvas Bags now. I am not a person who is into brands at all, but I really like its shape, material and colour design, except there is not enough pockets. They look equally trendy and in-style no matter you have the bag full or kind of empty. And I haven’t seen any one which can compare to it. 

So I am pretty happy. Now all my outfits would be built around my bags, not the other way around:-)

I am not so much surprised, as I am quite prepared of myself to expect to have a 42 weeks pregnancy, though I admit that I am getting a tiny little bit impatient, but mostly because of the hot weather that has been like in the recent week.

I supose that this is about what it takes to have a summer baby. I am almost covered by my sweat all the time, and carrying a watermelon sized baby won’t help the situation. I had to think about having showers more than twice a day and wave the bamboo fan day and night.

To me, the night time of these weeks have been extremely difficult. I can hardly turn the body over from one side to another. Every inch of my pelvis is hurting when I try to move during the sleep, and sometimes there were more than two cramps happening on one leg at the same time, which made me particularly confused and helpless, as I don’t know which way I can stretch to ease both places.

However, I am still very “high”, trying to do as much as I can. It’s not so much about being active, it’s about being me, a person who doesn’t really enjoy being relaxed or just letting it go.

To be honest, I have never expected to have so much energy during my pregnancy (which pretty much started from day one), but now I am quite sure I have beaten most of what has been said about being weak when pregnant. Totally busted it!!!!! Hehe……

]]> I haven’t been able to post anything here for quite some time. Some of my friends, mainly those people who get updates of mine from my blog, started to wonder if I am all right. So just to save your worries and let you know, I am still alive and thanks for all your concerns.

I wouldn’t say I was just too slack to be bothered to write, there were a lot of other things going on in my life. My routine have had a big change so I spent more time in this winter sleeping, and the cold winter days in Queanbeyan obviously have been contributing to this as well.
I have to admit that I was not very motivated on doing other things that I used to enjoy a lot, like knitting or blogging, but I certainly had been to some nice places checking around during the weekend time. Other than that, I kind of have started another round of research on sketching and painting. It’s such a pity I am not a practical type and I am just not one of those people in this world who are so talented to draw and paint.

I will be back more often, when the winter gets steady and maybe when the spring comes :-)

]]> Recently I fell in love with body butters.

This rich, creamy, butter-like stuff really amazes me. Everyday after the shower, I just can’t help it. I rubbed it on legs, arms, tummy….anywhere that I can think of. I adore the smell as well. I makes me feel like eating it.

The other day, I forced my husband to smell it as I felt urged to share this with someone. He wouldn’t care less about this sort of stuff, but he asked me if I need some bread (so I can spread the stuff on) :-)

I am the bread, and I know that.

Actually this stuff isn’t really as sticky, greasy or thick as you thought. It’s rich but absorbed quite quickly and just gives you an overall good feeling of being pampered. That 5 minutes everyday has really become a highlight of me for the day, and I truly enjoy being surrounded by that lovely smell all night when I am in bed.

The one I’ve got now is Shea. I am thinking to get another one, papaya, mango, strawberry or pomegranate?

  1. Spring Clean
]]>

I don’t know much about how other women feel like, but recently it occurred to me that I actually have some recurrent deja vu for a certain period of time every year that I just completely lost my interest in fashion and what I wear.

This is probably not important, as some women would say that they actually never had been interested in what they wear. Well, not that I am a fashion fever (at least I am not now) but for most of my time, I do have the mood picking my clothes everyday morning or have desire adding new pieces into my wardrobe.

But seriously I don’t have it now. I noticed that it started every year around the same time, say late of summer like early of March throughout until the first frost hits. I call it summer fashion ” fatigue”. It’s like running out all the clothes that I have had for summer but the weather still hasn’t changed to Autumn. I feels like it’s been extended to iternity just remaining the same where I found I am getting very sick of doing the same things over and over again.

But the worse thing is, I am not just running out of my clothes, but also running out of my interests in making it better ……Every morning I just pick whatever comes up to me in my wardrobe. It doesn’t matter what colour, materials, style, new or old, or if it’s matching to each other….just couldn’t bother thinking about it.

…..I just go like an automatic-pick machine drawing up the ball randomly from a pool of collections…… I even wouldn’t mind just wearing PJs and slippers to go to the work:-) if I really don’t care.

I know one day very soon after this, I will get over it and regain, but it doesn’t really make sense as I have the most colourful and variable choices for my summer clothing, but it seems that no quantity can stand the test of time.

I just don’t know why. It’s because of the weather? or it’s just me? or I am a bit depressive? Is there anyone else feels the same like I do at this particular point of time?
