Wondering

A couple of things, actually.

• Can you recommend me a good sunscreen?  I have been using Natio products for the past month, and I really like them. They are relatively cheap, but feel much more expensive. (I got a cleanser, mask and mousturiser in Life Pharmacy’s 20% off sale for $45 and a free gift.) Plus my skin looks and feels lovely. But the problem is, hardly any of their day creams have sunscreen. One does, but it is only SPF 15. My “porcelain skin” (thanks Jo!) requires higher protection than that. So. What do you use? Bearing in mind, it needs to be high SPF (30+), light enough to wear over moisturiser, but also good under foundation (and primer). And not to expensive, because in summer, I go through A LOT. Am I asking the earth?
• What do you use for dry lips? I have horribly dry lips at the moment, due, I think to the change in seasons. I got this, but it’s not great. What do you guys recommend?
• Have you got your tickets to this yet? If not, why not?

Whether selling a kidney would fetch enough to allow me to buy these in pink?

• How Sas got to be so awesome.
• Why Megan likes to make me cry.
• Exactly how awesomely cheesy HarvestBird’s wedding is going to be.
• When exactly Wanda Harland is going to enter politics, seeing as she’s such a great campaigner.
• Why Emma insists on taunting me with pictures of Richard Kahui.

Also.  where do crafty ladies in Wellington buy their fabric, and do any of them know a good dressmaker?

Why people like to make me cry?

More Monday morning questions

• Ok, seriously.  Pigtails on a 31 year old woman.  I think it looks kind of cute today, but am I deluding myself?
• Why did I think it was a good idea to sleep much of yesterday, meaning I was still awake at midnight before a 5am start?
• Why does wearing red lipstick instantly lift my spirits?
• How much do I love this:

• Why hasn’t Emily’s birthday present arrived yet, making me look bad.
• How come when you haven’t drunk for a couple of weeks, the hangover seems soooo much worse?
• How many days in a row can I eat tuna on toast before I turn into a fish?

Why can’t this happen to me.  Damn you all for being girls.  Or something.

Monday Morning Questions

1. Is a bridal shop charging a $50 fee to try on dresses the cheekiest thing ever?

13. Would the coolest thing about doing roller derby be coming up with an awesomely puntastic name like “Rita Anguish” (seriously, best name ever)?
