I love spring, but...

The start of September signifies many things. In magazine land, it means 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty and Vogue Fashion's Night Out. On the charity front it's Liptember, which means lip gloss for a cause (gender specific mental health issues for women, but more on this later). It also means Spring.

Inspired by my own status update on Facebook today (gosh how vain does that sound) I wanted to celebrate this change of season and all the joy that it brings.

Love spring, hate hayfever
Love spring, hate spiders
Love spring, hate magpies swooping (shout out to Andrea)
Love spring, hate the fact my favourite flowers are now out of season (poppies, just in case you want to buy me one last bunch)
Love spring, hate having to whip out the fake tan
Love spring, hate leg hair removal
Love spring, hate people loading up their gardens with blood and bone
Love spring, hate that everyone who drives down my street blatantly ignores the turn no right sign and turns right into the Coles carpark. The sign is there for a reason!!**

Honestly, I love the warmer weather and the fact I can wear thongs again, but spring and I don't always get along. What do you love to hate about spring?

**obviously not spring related, but it really pisses me off

Excuse me...

You: Hey Elise! It's a Monday, where's the post?
Me: Oh hey you! Did you have a good weekend?
You: Yep. Where's today's post?
Me: I had a great weekend too. It was my engagement party and it was just so much fun.
You: That's nice. Post.
Me: Yeah, it was just so lovely to spend time with family and friends. It was also pretty special that they all braved the wet to celebrate such an exciting occasion with my man and I.
You: Mmhmm...
Me: So yeah, I really appreciate you being patient with me and letting me off the hook today. It was a pretty epic weekend. BUT I'll tell you about the facial I had before the big night, the dress I wore, the makeup I wore and my hot new shoes tomorrow. Is that cool?
You: I guess.
Me: Thanks! You're a good friend. Enjoy you're Monday off!
You: But....
Me: Oh, you're in one of those non-public-holiday states? Well...have a good day anyway.
