It’s not ‘essential’ but…

With the road map out of lockdown announced we can look forward to non-essential shops opening from mid-April. Good news but…in the meantime….I had a look around the essential shops and noted the other items they are selling. Unlike Wales and (I’m not sure about Scotland??) in England most other items alongside the essential goods have and continue to be still sold. Unfair really on Retailers that had to shut…well…what can you buy?

a turban is ‘essential’ to me but I don’t need the nail stickers…

Cosmetics…and for many they are essential lockdown or not…but false eyelashes, ‘bump its’, novelty hair items are among things which are definitely not!? As are hair turbans, nail stickers, nifty hair combs and hot bun’s hair attachments. Not really essential are they? Desirable yes, useful possibly…I don’t know as I personally have no need for such items..well…in fact that is a lie! Forget bump it’s (really??) and hot bun’s & false eyelashes, I’m a total sucker for a good ol’ turban to part dry my hair (forget the wig for a minute..!).

glittery lashes NOT essential though are the ‘hot buns’ to some???

Yes very useful indeed but not really essential as you can towel dry your hair all ready for that most important blow dry. Hmmm…just have to make do until more retail opens up, that is what is left…as it seems the hole in the high street has become not only much larger due to covid but irreparable. Catastrophic really and sad to see it’s almost total demise…so depressing just walking past yet another boarded up shop…think I need some glasses that make shops appear not only to be open but all my favourite shops ‘alive’ again and not just a ‘memory’…no just wishful thinking…but remembering how it was many years ago makes me a lot happier, looking back when it appears so little in retail to look forward too…now can someone provide that service please!! I’m ready and waiting and will put on the glasses…unlike the guy in the film They Live!

bump its and butterflys you CAN buy it if you want it!
