Road To Recovery Day 29: Family Coffee Date & More Cleaning


I woke up early enough today, I had my breakfast and watched the new episodes of Scream and Pretty Little Liars, pretty amazing morning!

When I was done, I decided to try my new foundations, I put on the light shade of the L'Oreal Infallible foundation.......I was ORANGE! 
It was horrible, I was actually shocked at how dark it was for the 2nd lightest shade!
I didn't open the other 2 bottles because they will also be too dark. I will return them tomorrow when I am in town and I'll keep the one I opened as a foundation for when I'm wearing tan.

I was so tempted to go into town to get myself a coffee, but the weather was pretty awful!
My sister wanted to go to Costa to get a mint cooler, so we said we would wait and see if mam and dad wanted to come with us. They did.
It was fun having the whole family together for a coffee.
After the loss of my cousins husband, it just really made us think that time is precious and you should spend as much of it with your family as you can.

When I got home, I was planning on doing some design drawings, but I ended up cleaning my room!
I pulled out all the draws and boxes from under my bed, I hoard so much stuff it is unreal. 
I decided to dump anything that isn't being used. I allowed myself one storage box for keepsakes and if it didn't fit in the box it had to go!

I will admit, it was hard to get rid of some things, for example a wooden cabinet my auntie bought me a few years before she died. Ive kept it on top of my wardrobe but it has started to fall apart and it is beyond saving. I had to make the hardest decision to throw it out, even though it is the only thing I have left of her other than photographs. But sometimes you just need to let go!

My sister came up to help me sort through somethings, we found old diaries that we both wrote in. The 2 of us fell about the floor laughing at the things we wrote about when we were 10 years old!

It began to get very late and I was still sorting through things, at one point I was so tired I just ended up putting loads into the bin just so I could get it done. 

I gave up at about half 11, anything that I still have left to sort through is in a pile in one corner of the room, which I will sort out tomorrow.

Getting into bed I was in so much pain, I couldn't put any weight on my left side without falling over. I'm just not used to all the hard work (what my mother would say). 
I'm pretty happy with how today went, I'm finally making progress with my room, and let me tell you, it feels amazing. Just seeing all the black bags for dumping puts a smile on my face!
I can finally walk around my room without tripping over something!

Tomorrow I have to return the foundations to boots, I also need to edit the DIY video and hopefully have that up before the week is out.

Thank you for reading.
Love,
Tanya
