Bloggie Wednesdays: Scheduled Posting FTW

Bloggie Wednesdays: Scheduled Posting FTW

I’m the kind of person who has zero inspiration in front of the computer. I’ll be sitting in front of the monitor, staring and willing for an idea to pop up. Come on brain, I need to write something on the blog!

Bloggie Wednesdays are particularly difficult to write. They sometimes require an amount of research and it’s quite a feat making them look interesting enough to read (at least, enough for me not to fall asleep reading and writing it). I have the ideas in my head, but for them to come out in words is like trying to drag a cat to water. Painful and bloody hard.

For me, ideas can come at anytime. I can be on the porcelain throne and suddenly bam! The words flow (and other unmentionables) and right after I’m done, they go on the iPad or computer right away.

This is where scheduled posts come in handy. When the ideas flow, I’ll be on the computer relentlessly typing and hammering away on the keyboard. It can be days or even weeks before my next flow of inspiration come back, so it’s best to write them down and schedule them as different posts for the next few days or weeks rather than post them all in a day. Too much for you to read, and no backup for me for the next few days.

When a bottle of the cleansing oil and the UV Under Base Mousse (review to come) landed on my desk for review, I was excited yet apprehensive. Excited because I’ve never really tried products from shu uemura before, and apprehensive because I wasn’t sure what to think of the cleansing oil (as pretty as the limited edition print was).

My Essentials

When I first saw this post on Garance Dore, first thing I thought was “I’m going to nick that for this blog” ;). Of course, the women she interviewed in her My Essentials series had heaps of designer items in their closets and you’re going to see a whole lot more high street items here (not for lack of trying, more like lack of funds :P).
