Thought I’d Join You…

5th September 2026

Hello my most beautiful and precious starshine {} xxx

It’s 20:48. I thought I’d join you with your fabulous party. Keep The Fire Burning (SLY Rework) by Average White Band is playing. It’s fantastic and so uplifting. I can imagine you happily grooving along to it. Lovely! xx

How are you? I really do hope you’re okay and feeling very happy. I hope you’re enjoying the most beautiful and relaxing day. I know you’ll be busy, but I hope you’re taking everything at a chilled pace. No rush {} xxx

I’ve struggled badly today but I managed to make some test shampoos. I think the very first test worked, because it was so diluted with it being a foamy solution. It expanded about four times in volume.

I had a salty taste with 15g and 20g of decyl glucoside today. I tested one on my hair and the other on my skin. 10g on my skin felt better, but it’s still not right. I need to see if reducing it further and increasing the xanthan gum might help.  

I think I might contact the company and ask if they can tell me their formula. I know it’s very unlikely, but I’ll ask just in case. The ingredients they now use are very different to these.

I’m not feeling too stressed. I am getting better with the uncertainty of these things. It helps that the foamy version worked. Worst case scenario is using the foamy version until I can get it right. I still have some of the original shampoo left, but it’s past its use by date. 

It’s 21:21 xx I imagine you must be playing your gorgeous heart out in your cool studio. Please have tons of fun for me too {} xx What are you playing? I bet you sound fantastic!

I’m going to make face and teeth happy now, and then it’s sleep.

Sleep well, sleep restfully and peacefully, with sweet dreams for both of us {} xxx

I love you so much, and I’m hugging you with all my joyful heart. I hope you can feel it. Nnight my beautiful sweetheart {} xxxx
