Horizontal sheets of rain just blew across and through all ten storeys of it drenching everything in its path.  Which worked well for my car because it was long overdue for a wash.  The rain fell with such force even my hubcaps got a pressure clean out of it.  But the one thing I’m most grateful for is that the roads seemed okay on my commute home and that there weren’t any major accidents in my neck of the woods.  The storm was magnificent to look at from behind the windows of work but it was treacherous to be driving through.

I’m still obsessed about my new look brows.  I forgot to get that castor oil for them from the supermarket at the weekend but the internet tells me that olive oil is another one of a total of 14 home remedies for thick eyebrows.  The list makes for an interesting read (onions?!?!) and I’m sure there’s something on it that you’ve got around the house already.  Perhaps we could each try a different thing on the list and compare our results at the end of a six month trial?

Toddler SSG’s stamp of approval on his Ikea rug.  I’ve run the Dyson over it a few times but that footprint is there to stay in all its Chanel glory.

After all that struggle with Toddler SSG to get those tracings of his feet on Saturday, I finally got this perfect foot print on Sunday.  It’s a Chanel (of course) eyeshadow he shattered after cracking the lid off a Dior quad.  It was a pretty expensive weekend of sensory play.  Taking the glass half full approach, I reckon I’ve now got more than enough reason to finally get on that Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette train.  It’s on my newly drafted Orlando shopping list.  The one that can only be actioned after I sort out the dramas with the chip in the new credit card my bank sent me after my original one was ‘under threat’ of fraud.  Don’t think there’ll be enough time to get a new one before I fly this coming weekend.  I’ll have to see what I can do on my day off this Thursday.
