Vlog 128 - Acceptable and unacceptable addictions & get pierced with me!

[@Serenity9393]

Great vlog, thanks Bex. Your new piercing looks fab- you did so well. Brilliant news about the craft market. That’ll be a really useful experience and apart from selling loads of stuff, bet you make tons of new contacts 😊x

Thanks, Dawn. Hope I can make contacts without actually talking to people cos in real life, I'm rubbish at that 🤣

I couldn't agree more that we are the only species that over eats/drinks/and has addictions. We are also the only species that has mental trauma from childhood that changes our brain chemistry and thus our behaviors. Great episode, thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. ❤

Thank you. Hopefully, the more we all open up about things, the more we will understand ourselves and others. Self knowledge is power! 😊

Hi Bex, run away!!! No one wants to talk about past stuff like exes and marriage!!!!😬😬😬🤣🤣 Had my nose pierced in the 90s, had no money, so one of the punk style bikers at my local bike pub offered. Hilarious! He brought the piercing gun over to my place and had to chase me round the living room as every time he put it near my nose, I screamed and ran away!!! Much to my two then teenage kids amusement and of course they’d brought their own load of sightseers. It’s still pierced all these years later and I’m still mates with him. 🤣🤣🤣😬😬😬🥰🥰 Thanks for sharing and for the shout out, take care xx

I miss the good old days of a piercing gun! I'm getting wimpier with each new piercing, so apart from running out of face to have another, I may be finally chickening out! I've linked your Etsy in the description now, I hope you don't mind. Didn't want to do it until I knew you'd seen the vlog xx

👍❤️🐕‍🦺 , well done on the piercing Bex , I have no problem resisting alcohol but my god have I had terrible sweet addictions in my life but I am happy to say the older I get the less addicted I am , I still love choc , sweets ect but I no longer have to eat all the sweet stuff in the house at once , congratulations on getting a stall at the craft market xx

Thanks, Laura. It's good that your addictions have reduced. Mine switch from one thing to another! Hopefully, I'll run out of new things and be bored with all junk food soon 😁 x

I wonder if there’s comfort in the repetition

[@neurodesigned]

I have already forgotten what's in the vlog! Repetition of what?! 🤣
