Everything goes in circles. I thought about that today, when I bought some lipgloss in a small jar. It's from M&S and smell of raspberries - it's like eating chemical sweets - I love it! I haven't had one of those since the early 90s. I was 14, and it was a time when every girl walked around with a small jar in their pockets (we hadn't advanced to using handbags yet) and all girls in my class (except me) wore vanilla perfume from the Body Shop. And now it's back (and so is the fashion, I'm afraid) - but I still don't like the smell of vanilla... (And I fear oversized sweatshirts and bleached jeans would look incredibly stupid on me.)
And, while I'm already down the memory lane: my friend L also reminded me the other day, on how we at the time had a girls' night with all the girls in our class, when we discussed boys, kisses, makeup and all other essential things. And how I, when everyone had to describe their facial cleaning routine (yes, very important indeed) and went through which L'Oreal, Nivea and Body Shop products they used, simply said I only used soap and water (which I definitely don't do anymore - hello wrinkles!). I can't believe I was so independent at the time!
