I’ve been thinking a little about confidence recently. It’s a strange beast, you can have it in spades when it comes to one aspect of your life and find it completely elusive in others. If I look back at all the things I didn’t do (and should have done), lack of confidence has always been the cause. Or fear of failure that’s the other killer. I’m trying to push myself out of my comfort zone at the moment. I’m doing work experience at a magazine. And I must be the oldest intern on the block. But I’m finally doing something that inspires me. Even the ‘boring’ tasks are more interesting than anything I ever did in my previous job. So in regards to confidence, I’m going to ‘fake it until I make it’. (Not advised if you’re a doctor).

And until that happens, I’m going to wear this red lipstick because I love it.

* It’s Rimmel, Kate Moss Lasting Matte Finish Shade 110 in case you are interested, only £5.49!  The advert says it will make me iconic. I’m just hoping it won’t smudge all over my teeth.
