I know how that feels. I rarely put makeup on since moving north. It's also about feeling good with you. Sounds like you are loving you more:) I love that you didn’t iron or wear makeup.

I , yes me! went without a shower for 3 mornings... and had to just brush my hair without a mirror, no makeup, no matching clothes as i took old ones.. and even wore my same jeans 3 days!! ikk.. and you know what , we all commented how none of us smelt of anything but smoke... however i did brush my teeth and use deod!! LOL!! Even forgot face cream 2 mornings! But Praise God for showers at home as my hair was so oily and dirty from the camp smoke! and our home toilet is luxurious unlike the long drop that was a hike away!! Maybe we can be a little less tough on ourselves from now on and know that we are still loved even if we dont all match or look together!! XX The pressure we put on ourselves is harsher than that of others! Hope its nice to be back in SA country real soon. WE must have been thinking the same thing..!!

Wandering around in your pj's? You SO TOTALLY slipped into holiday mode. And I'm so gosh-darned happy to hear it. I hope you can keep this up once you get home. So you were in Adelaide today......you weren't in my supermarket this morning were you? I served a customer who wasn't one of my regulars, but she looked a little familiar.......you should have said "Hi, it's me!" (if it was you). No ironing (2 items doesn’t count) and minimal makeup?

It seems like just yesterday you were packing the camper to head out. I have really enjoyed reading about your adventures I have traveled Austrailia thru your eyes. I can't wait to hear more about it. PS I don't wear make up much and if it has to be ironed I don't buy it. I think I just have a lazy streak.

I hope some of your broken habits stay broken. It's quite freeing to not be worrying all the time about what other's might think :) That stretch around Hay is horrid isn’t it?
