Do you think she wrote that blurb herself?
I was wondering the same thing! I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe with a tiny Marian Keyes on her shoulder and in her ear. "Noo! Don't scratch out 'beloved', it's the truth!"Do you think she wrote that blurb herself?
It’s so odd that she reads in such a detached storytelling voice, rather than sounding as if she’s reading her own words/telling her own story about something that was so purportedly formative to her, and a wider subject about which she’s so passionate she’s built her entire career on it.Sample of SH reading Pretty Honest here https://harpercollins.co.uk/product...-companion-sali-hughes?variant=32555897520206
You'll never guess what the clip addresses
Awful isn't it? Reminiscent of that horrible Elizabeth Taylor quote about about putting some lippie on while you decend into alcoholism. Why would anyone aspire to live their life according to these silly aphorisms?Sali’s “I believe that the only thing worse than feeling like crap is looking like crap too.”
It is. However, I'm basking in the joy of not.one.raspygasp. Not a hint of it. My ears are happy.Wow. That audio clip. What a fucking carnival of bullshit.
And so preoccupied with constant consumerism to heal all ills. Any excuse to go out and buy yet more bloody stuff - hence the vast 'care packages' to send to various friends.So preoccupied with appearance. So old fashioned.
Yes I think it was a video where she talked about some favourites (or something). I seem to remember she said Crème de la Mer so many times it became like white noise - 'My next choice is Crème de la Mer. I'll tell you the reason I love Crème de la Mer. The reason I love Crème de la Mer is that Crème de la Mer.....' but for at least 10 minutes.Where did she say that she always got friends (or probably "girlfriends") Crème de la Mer when they were having a difficult time? Was it in one of her videos? Wonder if that advice will go into the book? I somehow doubt it, even she's not that daft
To answer my own question, apart from some of the expressions - 'love letter to makeup' 'painfully funny' - I think there are two main giveaways.Do you think she wrote that blurb herself?
I’m a fan of sending flowers but also Blurt do lovely care packages. https://www.blurtitout.org/buddybox/What is the best care package? Deliveroo voucher for sick / depressed in bed or flower delivery if the person has their basic needs met?
Ugh I bought that (a mini) after she recommended it. Thought it was overrated and so bloody expensive.Sisley Black Rose mask is another favourite for her care package. Didn't she say it was like ordering from the third half of the wine list or something
This might just be a personal thing, but whenever I'm having a depressive episode, I find flowers quite annoying. That obviously sounds terrible because the sentiment is lovely and it's a very kind gesture, but having to arrange them and then watch them deteriorate bums me out. I never seem to have the energy to throw them away before they decay, which makes me feel lazy and useless.What is the best care package?

I'm with you on the flowers. Even in a not depressed state I found flowers more hassle than what they cost. My boss kept sending me huge birthday bouquets. One year I had to run out and buy the biggest glass bucket available (vase doesn't cover the size needed). I asked him to stop because I found it wasteful. He gets me concert tickets instead.This might just be a personal thing, but whenever I'm having a depressive episode, I find flowers quite annoying.

Vouchers for Cook are a good gift for a depressive. They can pick some options and then have some tasty, nutritious meals without having to do anything other than put it in the oven for half an hour.

I think sending a plant is nicer (if the recipient is a plant person) in this case as they shouldn't end up dying out in a week.This might just be a personal thing, but whenever I'm having a depressive episode, I find flowers quite annoying.
