Holy shit I'm not in high school anymore

What even is this? I'm up at 6am to go to Moreton island for Schoolies and it just hit me that I'm not a high school student anymore. I'm a regular adult that does things on week days, heck maybe I'll even get a job and start drinking coffee.

This is a really weird feeling, it's not exactly pleasant, I feel like I have all sorts of responsibilities now. Which is weird because I actually I don't. That's kinda the thing with gap years, you can do whatever you want.

It keeps hitting me that I never have to wear my uniform again, I can wear whatever the hell I want! I'm pretty stoked about that.

I think what I'm most excited about is being able to dye my hair a crazy colour. I'm getting it dyed in a week to be gradient plum. I'm also super excited about being able to paint my nails. That is one of my favourite things to do.

Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 30 Mattifying Face Fluid Dry Touch review


I bought this sunscreen while I was in Rome a couple months ago. My skin is super annoying with sunscreens (and everything), it completely freaks out, breaks out, goes red, etc. So I had pretty much just stopped wearing sunscreen on my face, my foundation has SPF 12, so I figured that was better than nothing. Until, I went to Italy, discovered that it's ridiculously hot and sunny there and that I needed sunscreen. Off I went to the nearest pharmacy, bought like five different kinds of sunscreen, I was super excited about all the italian and french skincare brands.

So I've been wearing Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 30 for the past few weeks and I love it a lot. It's for combination to oily skin, which I don't have, but it worked out fine for my dry skin. I really like that it doesn't leave the skin all oily and gross, it dries matte and stays that way all day.

It hasn't irritated my skin at all and doesn't leave a white cast.

The main thing I like about this sunscreen is that it doesn't feel gross like so many sunscreens do. The matte dry is awesome because it works really well as a makeup base too, keeps makeup looking pretty and matte even in hot weather.
