What a crazy few weeks at Zap for Leslie and I! Sadly not always in a good way, but as always we are back on our feet!
I have been quite unwell of late, and have been poked and prodded by many a Doctor and specialist, with more poking and proddings to come in the next few weeks. All a part of PCOS that I have battled with since I was 16. But never fear, you can't keep a good woman down. Well, not for long anyway! A week or so in bed, catching up on my TV shows and movie viewing and I am back in the land of the living and almost at 100% again!
Last week was a very emotional week for the Marsden clan, and our greater family. May 9th would have been my Darling Daddy's 60th birthday.It is so hard to believe that he has been gone for over 18 months now. Sometimes I forget, just for a moment, and I will to to pick up the phone to call him, or I will hear something funny and remind myself to tell Dad later, only to remember with a painful jolt that I can't. His 60th birthday passed with a few tears, a lot of smiles, and a toast to him with champagne and oysters at sunset.
To commemorate his birthday, as well as a tick off my year of weightloss bucket list, on Mothers Day I entered a fun run with my best friend Jess. 7kms on the road around Lake Wendouree in my home town of Ballarat. We even had trendy custom made shirts for the day. I wasn't able to run all the way around the lake, but one day soon I will! But damn, I was proud of myself. 9 months and 36 kilos ago, I wouldn't have even been out of bed at 9am on a Sunday morning, let alone doing Zumba and running!!! Pretty sure Dad would have been proud too. Shocked, but proud!
I was in Ballarat for another reason, my Mum finally got something she has wanted for a very long time! Not the minature pony she asks for every birthday and christmas, but a brand new KNEE!!!
It was pretty major surgery, so I was very glad I was able to fly down and spend time with her in the hospital and make sure that everything was all good. She was in a lot of pain, and had a leg the size of Texas, but she will be a different woman in a few weeks! She is now home from the hospital, resting comfortably in her new leather arm chair and being waited on hand and foot (knee?) by her awesome sister Stevie! In three weeks she undergoes another operation, this time for a new thumb joint! She is being rebuilt!
While I am writing tonight, I thought I would share with you what is without a doubt, my favourite product that we sell.
For over 2 years now, the only skin care and make up that I have used is Beautycycle. I am in love with this stuff.
The cleansers and toners are absolutely stunning, and my skin has never looked better! It is gentle, but provides a great deep clean. And there are different variants for different skin types. Something to suit everyone! Other than when I am onstage and need something a little different, I only use Beautycycle Colour make up. The range is great, shades for every occasion. I am a very girly girl, I love wearing make up, and lip stick and gloss are one of my obsessions. Which leads me to this.
Beautycycle Light Up Lip Gloss!!!
Love love love. Every girl needs this lip gloss.
And in each of the colours too!
Not only does it keep your lips looking luscious, BUT you can apply it anywhere. ANYWHERE. How? EASY! The Beautycycle Light Up Lip Gloss has a mirror on the side for a perfect application any time. But what if it is dark, you ask? NO PROBLEMS! Because this amazing lip gloss also features two LED lights in the applicator wand to light up your way! How awesome is that!
There are similar products on the market, but at $18.00rrp Beautycycle is the best priced on the market.
I use this lip gloss on its own for a gorgeous day time look, but I also use it over the top of my Beautycycle Lipsticks at night if I want a more shimmery feel.
