Having a good skincare routine

So not sure if I will complete this blog today as it is the evening, but I doing my skincare for the evening, inspired me to write this blog. I have always had to take care of my skin because it can get very dry and I have sensitive skin, and so have to careful with what I use. 

I have to moisturise on a daily basis as my face feels rough when I don't, and my feet because I walk a lot. Can anyone identify this?

I never pay a fortune on skincare, but use what pleases my skin and I like looking after my skin. It so nice in the evening to put cream on my face and body, because it sets up my evening and in the morning. In the morning I mainly look after my face, and I use Nivea and Boots spray mist, or my Nivea cream before I put on some make up. 

As a kid I would do some kind of skincare because the one item we used to use was soap, but this really effected my skin, and this time of year, as I write this in Autumn of 2022 my hands start to dry up because of using washing up liquid, and so have to put hand cream on, and so it is something I have done since a kid, and it helps give myself love, care and attention. 

I also like to treat myself and use scrubs and my skin feels so good when I do so, and body butters and I want to try out the M&S ones they sell, but have others to use first. 

So lets look after our skin as we only one and it is a good way to make sure we take care of ourselves

Many thanks for reading,

Finding the time to write

When it comes to writing I do it in batches and this is because of thinking what way the book is going to go and what I need to tie up the story.  In the morning I will go through the blogs I have to write and the videos I need to film and then even if is ten minutes to spare to work on my books then I do.  I do have a diary that I use to plan my writing and specifically on the book I am writing and do sprints, and what I have often done is set a timer. Thank the lord for mobiles phones and android as I have a stop watch on my phone and I live by my mobile.  Right now I am beginning the writing of this blog and it is 6th January at 9:30am and so once this is done then going through what I need to do that is jotted down but to do so I can concentrate on working on my books, and if you need to have a start up in your writing to do it regularly I would say is to have a blog as it is what inspired me or spend time writing notes of ideas to write about with a old fashion pen and paper.

The right environment to get writing

Image
When it comes to writing it is finding the time where you can sit down have a podcast on or some music and go through what you have written and what is left to write. I am currently working on a new book and I find writing in the mornings hard, so have been writing in the afternoon and in the evening.  It is not always possible to write at that time because I go over to wait for my son to return from school, so before I leave to get to his dads house I will do some writing and in the evening.  I can't decide if I am a morning person or a night owl, because I do like to get up early but I find it hard and now the clocks have changed in the UK it is taking me a while to adjust to that time change, but do like the lighter mornings and evenings, so soon I will be able to do some writing in the garden and be good to be outdoors with the sunshine.  Find a good location to write can really make a difference and can really help with ideas for books and reading in the park. Set the scene to

Getting in the mood to write

Being a mum you never know what the week will bring, and so finding time to write can often be tricky. I use the mornings and evenings, because I don't want to be taking my laptop over to where my son lives because I don't like to carry too much.  I schedule and before I begin play some music and watch Youtube on writing and so setting the scene is the first tip I'd give.  With writing I will get spontaneous moments to write and vision myself doing so and develop a story gives me such a buzz and it is like a jigsaw to me and so when I get the urge to write I will make sure I jot it down in that moment and as I go through the story I will use file cards or write it down, and plot and think of different ideas.  Deciding on a time to write can be a challenge, and so planning the week and time can make a difference, and so go through your schedule and use it as me time, and doing sprints like ten minutes a good way to get into the mood and challenge yourself of how much you can
