Twirling in yet another chazza shop find.

I almost exclusively shop second hand, but for those dipping their toes into it for the first time, you'll be pleased to know it's #SecondHandSeptember ! A challenge to shop second hand for 30 days.

Or, if you're on a little spending ban like me - swap clothes with pals, mend, wear what you already own and have fun! Who else is taking part?

These spearmint+eucalyptus shampoo and conditioner

These spearmint+eucalyptus shampoo and conditioner bars have replaced my usual routine of Head and Shoulders and Tresemmé (yes...I know). So that's less sulfates and other damaging nasties, but more importantly - less plastic.

Sensitive scalp types - I'll blog all about, keep your eyes peeled!

Don't forget to stretch out once in a while. She says, curled up in bed on a dull day.

I do wish I was wearing this on a date night or something, but it's currently cloudy with a chance of rain. That's all I have to say this Sunday. The end 😂

OH AND IT'S MY MUM'S BIRTHDAY.

I've noticed a few new lovely faces around here lately. To all of you, I say hello and welcome! I thought I'd write an introduction, as well as a teeny tiny announcement towards the end 🥰

🌼 I'm Christina - AKA "The Mind of Maria". Maria is actually my grandmother's name. She's one of the key figures that changed my course in life and this is my little way of commemorating her

🌼 I work full-time in content marketing and freelance as a photographer, writer and VA

🌼 I love thrifting! About 95% of my clothes are thrifted and I'm slightly (read: very) obsessed with Depop

🌼 I absolutely love anime and video games - in fact, I'm in the process of setting up my Twitch channel (if you're into that - let me know!)

🌼 I'm extremely passionate about exploring mental health topics. I'm constantly educating myself on new developments and documenting my own progress

🌼 I'm TINY. I'm only 5'1 - so a lot of the clothes I wear are designed for petites like me.

🌼 I'm 3/4 Iraqi and 1/4 Russian. I get extremely anxious speaking another language (still trying to figure that one out), but I'm more or less able to understand Arabic. I am however learning Japanese! I'm also aware of how random that sounds, however...

🌼 I've always been curious about Japan ever since I was little.

That's me in a nutshell!

As for the announcement...with help from some mega encouraging friends who I love dearly, I've FINALLY decided to release my new blog! I've had the domain since November 2020...Yeah, I know. I was too scared to put myself out there again in all honesty, but isn't it shitty how fear stops us from doing the things we want to do?

I'm going to stick to a monthly schedule, as at the moment that's realistic for me (anything more will be a bonus). As it's new, it's obviously bare bones at the moment but I reeeeally hope you stick around and I'd love some early feedback 🥰
