#66: walking through clear water in a pool painted black, such brave girls & vinted
welcome to my island
anyway, welcome back (okay, presumptuous of me!!!) to sent from my iphone with love, your hot links to epic things that i have found On The Line and the irl bit, which is hot reccos for Real Life Living™.
<3
this is the online bit
i was obsessseddddd with this. so good. the show has the exact same tone and energy as fleabag. speaking of, i watched the whole thing in one sitting when i was sick, my housemates had left for christmas and i had convinced myself that mainlining hot toddies was the only way to cure myself. in that time i did not have any bizarre relationships with clergymen but i did do a lot of looking up to camera 7 and smirking whenever a hot boy texted me.
where to eat lunch in london, disorganised attachment style
i really enjoyed this.
vinted
everyone knows that god invented invented apps so that one has something to do whilst watching television. raw dogging tv is wild- to consume it in such an unadulterated state- pure and undistllled, feels almost akin to a raw till 4 diet, no? (i know i don’t live on mainland europe but i’m trialling saying no? after a sentence to see if it gives me a bit more of a je ne sais quoi).
anyway, vinted is my current favourite couch comrade, which is a more expensive habit than instagram, but also a lot less disappointing then hinge, which i suppose is something. unfortunately i’ve developed a habit where to make myself feel sane i need to have at least one thing arriving from vinted at any given moment. a fun game is to order these things when i’m kinda drunk, forget about them, and now there’s a gorgeous parcel that is want to turn up at any given time! now, if you were to say this habit is a flagrant display of overconsumption and greed… i’d say; well yes! but dahling, because it’s all second hand, dahling, i’m actually doing my bit for the circular economy! and- might i add, looking very good whilst doing it!
without a doubt my best vinted purchase is a pair of barely worn miu miu ballet flats for a fraction of the price. my worst? some bizarre floofy gold tutu that i thought would serve for some deluded reason. the only way i think i could make it work would be if i were to embody a skins character or some other mentally ill teenager and wear it with leg warmers, 3 day old eyeliner and some ripped up band tee as i chain smoke on a swing set.
this is the irl bit:
walking through clear water in a pool painted black, cookie mueller
sometimes i have a weekend where i’m like wow that was legit wild.com my life is a gregg araki motion picture. but never have i had a weekend, or even a weekday like cookie mueller. this is perhaps a good thing.
queen is busy as hell
not making porridge
simon made an apple crumble for christmas at my house. i’m telling you this because thats why i have oats. a girl like me does not buy oats.
usually for breakfast i have an egg on toast with half a bottle of tabasco but i ran out of bread a while ago and i am too (sad) to go grocery shopping so i’m just kinda scrounging round like a starving rat in my cupboard. hence: porridge. because i am not armish i refuse to make it on the stove and so therefore every time i make it it explodes all over the microwave like a big grey projectile vomit. porridge makes me (sadder). no more porridge.
editor’s note: since writing this i have bought bread and life looks much better.
i can’t tell you how this happened
glow up january
my housemates and i have embarked on a joint mission: glow up january. the ethos?doing little things to improve your life. this is exactly the kind of project i can get around because it requires little effort and i can twist almost anything to fit it. a haircut? glow up january. cooking a meal? glow up january. washing my sheets? glow up january. buying bread? glow up january. not blacking out? glow up january. going on vinted? well honey… you get the idea.
the others are taking it to serious extremes- physical exercise and the like, but i am keen to not peak too early in the month to safeguard future failure. if i am honest (i try to be) i have grunted and sweated in the spare room doing 2 (two) x 20 minute youtube workouts (separate occasions) WITH dumbbells, so don’t freak out if you see me looking a little snatched next time we grab a cosmo.
kisses xxxx
