I just wanted to hop on here and say. We do recover 🫢👍🏼

I had a huge obsession and compulsion to buy as much Lush as I could back in Nov/Dec time and before that. I'd say that those months I mentioned were when it was at its worst. I think I posted my collection on another account and it was big! I'm glad to report that I did use most of it up already but still a way to go. I know I'll get there. I do like lush now but I'm more indifferent to it and can take it or leave it. That wasn't in question before. For context I have ADHD and on waiting list to be tested for autism. I thought lush was some kind of 'AMAZING' thing and I fell for the cult. It's so nice to realise it's just another cosmetics company that's actually hugely overpriced and a bit boring if I'm honest. I've noticed lush repeats and recycles fragrance and you know you've 'seen this before' and then you start to realise everything almost smells the same. And the amount of gourmand is too much. I still like lush and its original ethos etc don't get me wrong but I think they have a way of hooking certain types of people in and yes they are very good at it. I'm just so happy I'm over it and so is my bank account :)

I took this photo on my I phone 12 mini whilst on a casual stroll around the neighbourhood in a town that has many different coloured houses. Namely pastel. And very contrasting. It got me thinking about how much I love green rolling hills and meadows with a contrast of a clear blue sky. I found a moment and place to capture it. I don't know how to describe how it makes me feel? I'll take a stab at it. It feels almost cinematic because of the soft blur toward the horizon. Theres something nostalgic about it and child like; almost like a memory rather than just a photograph. Maybe I'm projecting myself onto it. A sense of loneliness but in a gentle way. In a busy and hectic world there's a calmness about it in its simplicity but emotionally it carries a lot. I find there's a freedom to it where I can feel my feelings but they are contained. As if I were lying down amongst the grass looking up at the sky. The sky responding to me uncluttered and honest. Minimalist nature photography is my thing a long with dream core/liminal aesthetic. I can get carried away with those videos online for too long...
