Text of the page (random words):
e that this is happening in our sophisticated world of science technology and knowledge but it is happening everywhere all those futuristic pandemic movies many of us watched in the past are now our reality words that were not a normal part of our vocab such as pandemic unprecedented ppe quarantine self isolation social distancing essential workers essential businesses essential outings clusters and lockdown are now used daily frightening how quickly things can change i m so thankful to be living in new zealand and so proud of our country and how we are handling this no matter what political persuasion you might be in new zealand our government is incredible in trying to make sure every one of us is safe and provided for as individuals businesses and organisations i feel like we have never had so much transparency in decisions and why they are being made life in our house revolves around the news the daily 1pm update on our covid 19 numbers and the 3pm update from our prime minister jacinda arden the days are long and slow that s a good thing though it could be seen as a blessing really that people have this opportunity to step out of the busyness and rush of normal everyday working life to wind down i do realise that for many people though this comes with a whole other set of worries financial business even coping with children at home every day and maybe less than ideal bubble living situations to be stuck in 24 7 my bubble is small just three of us here and the two cats who are thrilled that we are home all day every day days are spent doing school work so that i am super prepared for whenever we go back to real live school cleaning cooking laundry reading walking exercising and playing games online such as sims don t judge lol as i said it is all seems very slow i m spending a lot more time on social media interacting with family as well which is really nice i m not bored not antsy sometimes a little anxious about what is happening in the world but all in all i feel safe in lockdown and more relaxed about my families safety as i have a 94 year old grandmother and also my parents who are very vulnerable healthwise i do miss my friends at school and the students but it s the school holidays so i wouldn t have seen a lot of them in any case i really miss the freedom to go out for a coffee however we have a nespresso machine here at home which is taking a hammering other than that and of course the ability to visit my family i don t really miss anything else yet i went to book club last week in my bedroom via zoom it was great lol something i am loving is the community spirit throughout new zealand at first i thought the national bear hunt in the window idea wasn t a good idea how wrong was i it s so much fun going for a walk to spot all the bears and how creative people are being there is great humour out there i love the chalk art on the footpaths as well which is a girl guide initiative i love seeing families out walking or biking or skateboarding or scooter ing out walking sometimes is like playing human dodgems trying to maintain the two metre distance people are so friendly as well or maybe it s just me because i am like that anyway greeting strangers cooing at babies and toddlers chatting to cats and dogs the princess hates it when i do that though haha i do love walking and talking with her though another blessing from this situation i hope life in your lockdown and with your bubble if you are in a bubble is going as best as it possibly can if you are an essential worker out there thank you stay safe stay well kia kaha beautiful people rachaelxo posted by roseroomnz com at 12 19 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels covid19 lockdown lockdown new zealand lockdown nz monday 15 july 2019 skin deep let me take you on a journey of my skin and skincare and how it led to a complete turnaround in what i not only put in my body but also on my skin it s taken me years to make the connection between the two yes i am a bit slow on the uptake apart from babyhood and early childhood i ve always had shitty skin the minute i hit pre puberty i started breaking out enlarged pores nasty inflamed pimples under the skin and blackheads i was really self conscious about it even though my granny who had the most beautiful soft unwrinkled skin she used nothing but soap and water and ponds cold cream tried to convince me that her skin too was like mine as a young person and i would end up being thankful i had oily skin when i was older because i would be less lined for it hmmmmm as a teen i used to read seventeen magazine which didn t help the lack of confidence i had short shy glasses and bad skin plus i was a nerd anyway seventeen magazine was full of advertising naturally an ad that stood at to me was ten o six lotion does anyone remember it i saved my pocket money and bought a bottle it didn t give me the beautiful clear glowing skin that all the teen models had i used it diligently and if anything it probably inflamed the already inflamed skin goodness knows what was in that stuff my mum then took me to our gp his fix was to have me wash my face using oatmeal soap and a buff puff if you don t know what a puff buff is it s an oval circle thingy with scratchy sides sort of like a pot scrubber very abrasive what a bastard another thing he did suggest was steaming which was to clear the pores and then splash with icy cold water to close them again i had to do this for 5 minutes every night my skin didn t clear up if anything it was probably worse raw from the buff puff during this teen time a friend and i used to have beauty days where we would give ourselves manicures and pedicures and facemasks with beaten egg whites i swear to this day an egg white facemask is the bee s knees for rejuvenating and tightening skin next on my journey was blackmores skincare my mum gave me a travel pouch of it for christmas from memory it had a cleanser scrub toner and moisturiser it was actually really nice stuff and did clear up my skin somewhat i remember doing this makeup beauty course to improve my self confidence and the lady running in told me i had good skin wow thanks blackmores moving into my early twenties came shiseido introduced to me by a friend just a cleanser toner and moisturiser and a facial brush it felt very glamorous as the range came in beautiful glass bottles with soft green tops it also smelt divine i used shiseido for many years and during this time my skin was under control with the exception of the usual monthly hormonal breakouts and ongoing breakouts on my chin and cheeks in my late 30 s i stopped using shisdeo and moved onto clinique the number 3 range for oily combination skin clinique did me well for a fair few years and then it stopped working truth be told i stopped working on being healthy too much caffeine too much wine erratic eating habits too much stress not enough water no exercise see the picture i am painting here on top of that my hormones were completely out of whack due to severe endometriosis so it wouldn t have mattered what range of skincare i was using good skin is more than skin deep i also became a single parent at the time so when i ran out of clinique and it was no longer an affordable skincare option for me i used supermarket brands that were on special nothing wrong with that btw or stuff i was given my skin wasn t great but not hideously bad either so long as i consistently stuck with my skincare routine morning and evening and looked after myself reasonably well three years ago my skin really turned to crap so i bought a range of olay skincare after doing their online skincare profile thingy and got back on top of my skin condition not long after this i signed up to be a product reviewer anyone can for beautyreview co nz since then i have received and reviewed numerous skincare products and ranges all of which with exception of a la roche posey cleanser and moisturiser have been l oreal paris my skin gets really antsy each time i try a new product and i will typically have minor breakouts around my chin of little whiteheads and inflamed underskin bumps which settle down after a week with the exception of a couple of products i have since bought i have continued to use the full sized trial products until they are empty and because i diligently look after my skin overall my skin condition has been good soft and smooth despite the same problematic breakouts i also have small underskin bumps on my jawline that i have had for a few years i don t know what they are but want them gone i think i need to go to a dermatologist or the caci clinic or somewhere like after i have finished funding my dentists overseas trip haha at the beginning of this year i had a complete lifestyle overhaul after visiting my brother and sister in law in cairns and came home with a diet and exercise programme i have lost a lot of weight i have so much more energy and i just feel great i strength train and do a little cardio and pretty much just clean eat try to drink a lot of water and avoid processed foods my skin has also been so nice in fact the best it has ever been aside from that babyhood and early childhood period i mentioned at the beginning of this novella i m now super conscious about what i put into my body and have had a huge shift in thinking about what i use on the outside and that it should be clean as well when i started my shop last year it was with the idea of being a one stop shop for women and part of that was having a skincare line it has taken a while to find a product that i would personally like and use from a company that i felt good about working with i went to the nz gift fairs in march this year with the sole purpose of sourcing an organic skincare range it was serendipity really the first skincare stall i came across was run by a delightful woman who i immediately connected with she was in my age bracket and had fabulous skin anyway she is the distributor for an organic cruelty free and vegan range called la mav organic skin science she sent me away armed with samples and information to digest since then i have spent a lot of time trialling the products researching the brand and reading reviews online seriously the reviews are outstanding la mav organic skin science really is a phenomenal range of skincare that is the world s first certified organic skincare infused with proven bio actives it is also certified as vegan and cruelty free i love everything about this brand and the company i m super excited to finally have the la mav organic skin science certified organic anti ageing range in stock online at www roseroomnz com i m also super excited to start using this range myself so not only will i be clean on the inside but also on the outside as stated by dr tarj mavi founder of la mav no woman should have to sacrifice her health for beauty phew if you made it to the bottom of this looooong post well done you thanks for stopping by and reading xorachael posted by roseroomnz com at 20 45 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 13 july 2019 comforting chicken noodle soup for the soul yesterday a cold and miserable friday i made chicken soup for the first time ever i make other soups vegetable and pumpkin mostly but never chicken anyway i had leftover chicken from a supermarket rotisserie cooked chicken and having been ill all week i had a hankering for chicken soup since no one had delivered the broth i needed for my recovery here s looking at you mummy i don t consider a four hour drive an excuse i had to make my own a quick search of everyone s online best friend google and i found a simple recipe of which i loosely followed comforting chicken noodle soup ingredients 8 ounces approx 225g or 1 cup pasta i used macaroni and way more than that 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 2 medium onion diced i used a whole onion 3 cloves garlic minced 2 medium carrots diced i only had one carrot 5 cups chicken stock i didn t have it ready made so used maggi cubes dissolved in water 1 cup cooked chicken cubed or shredded i used way more than this 1 medium zucchini didn t have any diced 1 stalk of celery sliced didn t have any but wish i did kosher or sea salt to taste i used 20 turns of the grinder freshly ground black pepper i used 20 turns of the grinder i also added about 1 2 to 3 4 teaspoon of mixed herbs how to make it step 1 cook the pasta until al dente and then drain and set aside step 2 in a stockpot heat the olive oil over medium high heat stir in the onion garlic and carrots and cook until onions are softened 2 to 3 minutes step 3 add the chicken stock chicken zucchini and celery bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender step 4 stir in the pasta and season with salt and pepper to taste serve hot because i used more pasta and chicken than the recipe called for my soup was quite thick but this made it even more nourishing it makes heaps too i gave a bowl to my neighbour we had it for dinner last night and there is still at least two bowls left in the fridge here s the link to where i found the recipe i might try the asian version next time bon appétit thanks so much for reading xo rachael posted by roseroomnz com at 21 52 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 8 may 2019 l oreal paris age perfect golden age regime review at the end of last year beautyreview co nz sent me three products from the l oreal paris age perfect golden age regime range to trial and review here is the review i wrote about each product at the beginning of january l oreal age perfect golden age radiance serum i was a little disappointed upon opening the serum box to find that the bottle was lightweight plastic and didn t have a pump or spray applicator the serum itself is a pretty blush pink colour with sparkles it has a nice consistency and smells divine i love the smell it reminds me of a shiseido skincare range i used years ago it s easy to use simply apply 2 to 3 drops on cleansed skin massage and then pat to absorb it leaves the skin feeling tacky which i don t like but it does provide a nice base for the day or night cream to work with l oreal states the serum will refresh and smooth the marks of sleep and fatigue that it will intensely re hydrate the skin to re plump and alleviate the feeling of tightness and awaken the glow of dull skin for fresher more radiant looking skin does it do this well not exactly i do not wake up looking refreshed but that might be to do with my bad sleeping habits however when used in conjunction with the day cream my skin certainly has a fresh rosy glow i do like this serum however i absolutely love the l oreal revitalift laser x3 serum so it s a hard call to find a serum i love more in saying that
