Tatcha Pure and Glowing Trio first impressions
Whilst it's early days, I am loving using these beautiful Tatcha products. They're a joy to use and my skin feels very soft and smooth after I've used them. I'm really keen to pare down my skin care stash then explore more of the Tatcha range!

FFS Friday - Valuable
Happy Friday beautiful people.
I have good news. We got a paediatrician appointment for Chai! Next week! Finally.
So, you'd think I'd be happy about this. I am. What I'm not happy about is how we got the appointment.
I've been calling the Paediatricians office since the middle of September. I've told them that Chai is getting worse,we aren't coping and we really need help. I've called eight times. Each time I've got nowhere, they've told me that I'll hear something soon and just have to wait.
Tuesday I got Tiger to call. I told him what to say, he called and was given an appointment straight away. Awesome. But here's what shits me. Why is it that when the Mum says she isn't coping nothing happens, yet when the Dad says we aren't coping people believe him?
The Mum says she isn't coping and it's her fault, she just can't handle being a Mum, or she needs to learn how to look after her child better, she doesn't discipline enough etc.
The Dad says he isn't coping and everyone jumps. Tiger didn't say anything that I hadn't already said and yet he was offered help and I wasn't.
Why are women undervalued so much? I'm willing to bet that most Mums cope with the kids better than the father does. In most cases Mums would be more in tune with the kids and more aware of what's going on with them, therefore their opinion should hold more weight than the Dads, however that's not how it works.
Also, why would a Mum lie and say she wasn't coping? It's a huge thing for a Mum to admit that she's not coping, not coping is generally seen as a weakness, so if a Mum says that she's not coping everyone should be jumping to help not judging.
As a society we just don't value women and mothers. It's one of our major societal flaws. When we start valuing women and mothers the world will be a much better place.
To all you beautiful women out there, never forget that despite what society tries to tell you, you matter, you are valuable and you are worthy.
Have a great weekend beauties.

October Empties
It's empties time! How did you do this month? I did pretty well, I'm pleased with the amount of products I got through.
Dermalogica Physical Defense
These are my tosses.
The Covergirl foundation just doesn't work for me anymore, the Flower Beauty lipstick is not my colour, the Stila blush, Danearth lip balm, EOS balm, MOR hand cream and Caudalie tinted moisturiser are all super old, the EOS crystal lip balm is crap.
I really wanted to love the Edible Beauty Luminous Angel Highlighting Creme but it's just too dark for me. I tried to make it work but I couldn't.

Thoughts of the week
1. Happy first day of November.
2. This week I received another rejection letter for Chai. I've still been unable to get any help for him. Some days I feel like we'll never get the help we so desperately need.
3. Who's purchased any of the holiday gift sets? I've purchased nothing. I usually want lots, but this year nothing's tempting me.
4. When did we become so intolerant of people being human and making mistakes? We're so quick to judge people in the public eye, we expect them to be perfect. It's not very reasonable.
5. I'm buying myself a Bon Maxie Sidekick bag this evening. I can't wait to get it!
