June has just
been one thing after another: my first bar mitzvah and thoroughly Jewish
experience, there’s a christening coming up that I’ve been painting a gift for,
Father’s Day (always a yucky day in my house) and now I’m sick. This post is just a check-in and update.
I’m getting my
reviews together for the #DoveOneWashChallenge and #DoveTrialWithFriends
campaign that I’m currently involved in.
I’m really excited to try out the products. One of my nominated “friends” is my mommy who
is not remotely interested in my online misadventures. Why? Firstly, because she’s my mommy, my best
friend and I’d fight a bear for her.
Secondly, because she’s getting leetle-beet old and her hair is thinning
(so I’m expecting miracles from the Dove Oxygen Moisture shampoo and
conditioner for fine, flat hair). Lastly
because we live in the same house, which means I get to try out her stuff
too.
I recently
posted my first Instagram photo of my partner and I at his nephew’s bar mitzvah. I’ve been apprehensive because love hurts, ya
know?, and also, I’m a theme snob. However,
we are approaching our 5th month together and have an extremely
mature relationship for such a short period of time, so I’d like to formally
introduce all of my followers to Mark– the most unlikely but certainly the best
choice I’ve made in 2018.
Speaking of the
bar mitzvah, I went to shul twice in 24 hours which is the same amount of times
I go to church in a year (Christmas and Easter is mandatory). Once I have recovered from my ailment, I plan
to do a barmi lookbook because I made modest and conservative a LOOK of
note. If I do say so myself.
I also got a new
tattoo this month. Since getting my
parents’ initials on my arms in November last year, my sister has been asking
when I would get a tattoo with her name.
While the tattoo design had been long considered, the booking was fairly
spur of the moment when I saw that Rising Dragon Tattoos in Fourways had a
flash special. If you’re wondering, my
sister’s name is Meagan Clare which (through many variations) translates to “pearl
of light”, so I got a little seashell with a pearl at the bottom on my right
forearm. It’s also preferable to a “dummy
doo-doo head” tattoo which is what I think she actually is. (JK)
Mark has gotten
me completely entrenched in a Netflix series called Fauda, which is kind of
like one of those MNet Seal team kind of programs, but it focuses on a
counter-terrorist team in Israel’s Ministry of Defence and how it chases a
rogue Hamas agent. I recommend watching
it firstly, in the original Hebrew/Arabic with subtitles, and secondly, with an
open mind. I have very strong opinions
when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and this program will rock
your allegiances amongst the characters.
Throughout the series, you will find yourself switching between the
sides. Also, Boaz is a total babe.
I think that
sums up the month very briefly. I plan
to come back swinging once I’ve recovered from the plague.
Wishing you love
and light, until next time ♡♡♡
