What's in my make-up bag? September starts...

 


My washable make-up bag from the local Pharmasave.

It holds all the tools that I need for my 5 minute face routine...


Do you recognize any of these products?

Jane Iredale face powder foundation ~ "Satin"
Marcelle eye shadow palette ~ Plum Perfect
Marcelle Kohl eye pencil ~ Black
Marcelle Fortifying and Lengthening Mascara ~ Black
Marcelle lipsticks ~ Loving Red and Living Rose
L'Oreal lipstick ~ #251 Wisteria Rose

I like a light hand and a simple approach to make up...
like a French Woman.

What are your "go to" products?
Do you like a certain brand or are you tempted to try new products?


Our lovely neighbours next door dropped off a bouquet of flowers,
to welcome us back from our holiday at the cottage.


Chester seems to be drawn to the flowers!
He is in fine form...
full of snuggles and enjoying his cat toys.

He was cared for by our wonderful cat and house sitter Tina.

He tried to sleep in our bed when we got back...
it did not go well, I hardly slept a wink that first night!
He kept waking me up licking my face and "kneading" my hair!
He must have missed me?

So he's snoozing outside the door on the rug at night which seems fine...
he must be missing Pepper as they used to sleep very close together.
Often on the same small fuzzy cat blanket.

Thank you for all your kind messages and condolences
 on the passing of our beloved Pepper.


The Hollyhocks are still in bloom.
Some of the roses have had another flush of flowers.

The garden is a riot of hydrangea blooms too...
am going to try and pick some to dry for inside the Humble Bungalow.
I am on the hunt for "alum" which is supposed to help the blooms stay fresh.

I've had a few days at home to get back into the swing of things here...
the sourdough starter has been refreshed and a boule was baked this morning.

I've made a batch of fresh pasta and we plan to make a lemon and prawn sauce
with grated parmigiana reggiano.

The recipe is simple...


September is here and the weather is already cooler...
such a quick change.

I'll be back in the Yoga Studio this week, I've missed my sessions.
and
I have an appointment to get my hair cut which always perks me up!

What have you got planned for your week?


Thank you for popping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
