Beauty Blast #7
A month or so ago, I fell over one night. Only God knows whether I tripped over my shoelace or my personality.
I was out one night. Laughing. The next thing I remember, I was in bed eating McDonald's (double cheeseburger combo with a splash of mayo and diet coke - hold the ice) with a sharp pain on my chin. A few moments later, I let out the gayest scream I could muster when I saw my chin all slashed up.
Just look at the mess I created.

Liam Sharma’s sexy shower essentials
There’s something so sensual about a decadent shower ritual. Coming home from the beach, when you’ve basked in the sweltering sun for maybe too long, or when you’ve had a miserable day and everything’s cooked and nothing’s gone right. All you can count on is a five-minute piping hot shower to drown your sorrows and forget about everything for a minute as the water encompasses every inch of you.

Beauty Blast #6
About 30 or so minutes ago, I abruptly realised I’ve now been locked up for three weeks. I have my own apartment, which is dope but deadly. I’m the perfect toxic mixture of an introvert-extrovert, so I’m constantly battling the lockdown slump (borderline claustrophobia) or weirdly feeling quite cosy.
Right now, all I really have is myself and my beauty products. That’s it. I’m not at the point where I will start colour coordinating them or murmuring to them; that’s likely to come soon. I haven’t written a beauty blast in like five or so months, so this should be beautifully disappointing.
As always, let’s blast.
