Hello, it's me!

Oh my goodness it's nearly been nine months since my last post...... SCANDALOUS. But here, life has been kicking my ass lately. Sure everyone has times like that and I just needed to take a step back. Guys, being an adult is hard and I'm still living at home! 

So why did I take such a long break from blogging? Okay, first of all I was really unhappy with the layout/design of my blog and had absolutely no idea what direction I wanted to go with in terms of colours, etc. Thanks to my technically skilled boyfriend I am thrilled with the new look! I was going to go all white and classy but it just wasn't me. I had to have a splash of pink and sparkle in there because, well, how could I not? Secondly, I felt as though my posts weren't as genuine as I wanted them to be. I started writing about things just because other people were and actually realised that I wasn't enjoying it at all so that lead to some severe writers block! And lastly, my life has completely changed. If you've been here for a while then you'll know that I went back to college in September. Long story short, it wasn't the course that I had worked so hard to do and I was so unhappy. I made the choice to leave both college and my part time job at Next. Making the choice to leave college was hard, but making the choice to leave the family I had at Next was a much harder one. They took me in as a teenager with no experience or knowledge and gave me a confidence I never knew I could have. They were the best friends I never got to make in college and we still remain close. Where am I now? I'm in Cara learning about all the things a girly girl like me would want to know about makeup and beauty. Not to mention its full time! WHOOOOO!

Where does this leave me at present? Well myself and my other half are taking the plunge after nearly seven years and moving in together in May or June! It's something I'm very ready for and very excited about considering I've never lived away from home before. Other than that, I don't know what this year will hold for me but I'm excited to find out. I'm also really happy to be back in the blogosphere with my new look, new ideas and new confidence.

So thank you to all of you who have been baring with me and staying caught up on my facebook page and instagram. You're the best!
