My name is Sarah.
I’ve started this blog because I’ve always thought it would be cool to run my own magazine, but I became a lawyer instead.
Some day I’ll give it all up to become a goatherd.
A bit about me:
- I look good in hats.
- I love jelly babies, except for the black ones, I hate blackcurrant flavoured sweets.
- I do not trust mushrooms.
- I will always be Team Britney.
- I am always, always running late.
- I am obsessed with salsa, the dip not the dancing.
- I have the world’s biggest crush on Georgia Jagger.
- I am usually to be found drinking tea, I consider myself a connoisseur.
- I believe that there are two types of people in the world, decent people, and people who murder snowmen.
- It took me until the age of twenty-six to work out that if the movie sucks, you’re allowed to just leave the theatre.
- I have frankly horrendous taste in music.
- If I were to be stranded on a desert island my luxury item would have to be a lifetime’s supply of Frosties.
My favourite place in the world is Ipanema beach.
And Nhkata Bay. Oh, and the Shanghai Museum. And Oslo. Or Luang Prabang. The Khao San Road. And Penang. And Johannesburg. And London. And… you get the idea… I live to travel. Consequently my carbon karma is horrendous, I’m going to come back as a patch of grass and be tarmac’d over to build a runway.
I have complex post traumatic stress disorder and depression.
And I’ve written a list of 30 things that I’m aiming to have done by the time I’m 30 if you’re at all interested in reading it.
You can email me if you like, my email address is Sarah@makeupandmirtazapine.com.
Just wanted to give you a ‘heads up’. I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Oh, thank you
You’re very kind 
I have enjoyed looking around your blog. I’m really glad you have a section addressing mental health – that is a subject I find very important. In the past I have had issues with clinical depression. It’s nice to read that I’m not the only one with struggles. We’re all in this together.

Thank you for stopping by, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it
I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer with depression as well, I hope you continue to do better.
I was worried in the beginning that nobody would want to read about mental health, especially on a blog that tries to be at least vaguely entertaining, but I’ve learned that there are more of us than I thought. We’re in it together, as you say.

Seeing as you were kind enough to visit my blog I figured I would return the favour.
I must say I am loving your work.
Much like yourself I once dreamt of creating my own magazine, I happen to find Georgia Jagger quite appealing and am not a fan of black jelly babies (although I do not mention this often out of fear of being labelled racist).
Why, thank you, I’m glad that you like it
So far no-one’s ever called me a racist for not liking the black jelly babies. Although that might have something to do with how I always pick out all the purple sweets in a packet and pass them straight on to the person sat next to me, whatever type of sweet they are. So people like that I hate they black ones, it gets them free sweets.
I too hate blackcurrant flavoured sweets! They are wrong!
I know, blackcurrants just aren’t sweet enough to be a sweet flavour. I’m glad someone else agrees with me
I found this weblog very cool and I just wanna thank you for that. I hope you keep up the perfect work!
Thank you very much!
Interesting blog. Feels good to be here
Cheers!
Thank you, I’m glad you like it, and it’s good to have you here
I share your distrust of mushrooms… they are sinister fungi indeed!
They are! I saw a programme once about how they ‘scare’ them into thinking they’re going to die so that they sprout and they can harvest them. It was just too weird for my liking.
Hey beautiful
I enjoyed reading your “About Me” facts, thanks for your honesty 
And thank you of course for stopping by my blog, I appreciate it!

You’re very welcome
By the way, your photo reminds me of Audrey Hepburn…
Thanks!
Nice to find out so many fun things about you! Nice to meet you. Maxi xx
Thank you, it’s lovely to meet you too
I already love the way your mind works! Welcome to The Sun Drips Honey. I have a Friends Page, where my readers go to tell us all a little about themselves. I invite you to do the same. I’m glad to have you with us!
Thanks! I’ll head over and check it out.
Thanks for following our blog
Many of us
Your blog is great! I love it and will be following it.
hugs
Many of us system
Thank you! It’s always great when the feeling is mutual
Hi!
I nominated you for the Reader Appreciation Award, check it out here:- http://momentsnotmemories.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/reader-appreciation-award-ta/ 
i enjoy your blog so thanks for blogging
Thank you!
Hello, thank you for following my blog, and I’m not just saying that – I love when people follow me and then it turns out they have a blog that I can relate to and enjoy reading – they’re so hard for me to find! I’ve read so much here already that I’ve also thought/written about – I’ll keep coming back
(I also want to run my own magazine so bad, but as it is I’ve turned out in a 9-5 office job. Boo) xx
Hi there. I’m glad you like mine as much as I’ve been enjoying yours
I suppose that’s one advantage of this over magazine writing, you get to check out other people and discover their cool stuff as well.
Maybe one day the 9-5 will pay for us to branch out and start our own magazine. Well, I can dream anyway. xx
what a wonderful about page, very assuring, simple and concise. the fact that you are a tea expert fascinates me. i love tea and have been studying it for some years now. my wife does some oriflame consultancy. so a lot of areas of interest here on your blog.
Thanks for the follow. Although I have to admit, it scares me a little when that happens… About the goatherd business, I, too, have had thoughts of retiring early and becoming a shepherd… lol! I look forward to reading your blog, as I can relate in more ways than one.
You’re welcome. And thank you for stopping by.
I know what you mean. I think I sometimes forget when I’m writing that I’m writing on the internet and not just my laptop.
As for the shepherd thing, I think we could one day end up with the best tended flock ever.
Hi there! Thanks so much for visiting and following purelysubjective. And thanks for writing so openly about your own life and experiences. It’s a gift to read them. Funny thing about being a goatherd; I seriously considered that as an occupation too. Goats are great!
You’re more than welcome
Hi, thanks for the like and for popping by. You have a real interesting mix of things here
.
All the best.
This is a test and a thank you for following my blog. My previous response disappeared.
If you do decide to become a goatherd, let me know and I might join you. Or is the whole point about goatherding a solitude kind of thing? If it is, I can herd my own goats from a distance.
It started out as a solitude thing, now more of space and fresh air and no deadlines thing. Two of us would be okay I reckon, not too crowded
Well, in that case I’ll pack my goatherder gear – I suppose a staff, a kettle, and a blanket will do.
Hi thank you so much for finding my blog and following it. It means a lot, I like your blog. I am following, looking forward to reading more by you. Be well.
Warmly,
Applejaxe
Thank you so much for coming over and returning the favour. It means a lot to me too.
Best wishes,
Sarah
