Where have you been?

Well hello there! This is a very long overdue post but I think its the right time to post it. As you can see I haven't posted on my blog for almost a year! I know right? A year. Well let me tell you what has been going on!

In the space of the last year I have, moved house, changed my daughters school, lost weight, started going out again, sorted out the relationship between me and my daughters father, (me and Daryl are still together). Just generally sorted out my life to make me a happier mummy. I feel great and have so much weight lifted off my shoulders that I feel able to blog again.

Now, this blog may still have a few beauty posts and probably some fashion as well, however it will mainly be a place to blog about whatever I like. Whenever I like. A lot of bloggers now days feel the pressure for constant content that they lose the motivation and love for blogging. I have always loved writing, essays at school and writing the beginning of 'novels' have always been my favourite. I say beginning because I never get past the first few chapters!

Another reason I decided to take a break from blogging was an e-mail I received from Bloglovin. They had said that bloggers who had gained the most followers would get rewards. To me that wasn't right. People shouldn't write with the thought of becoming famous! People so do it for the love of writing and putting their ideas out there! It took me aback when I saw that e-mail and really didn't want to be any part for a company essentially putting bloggers in competition with each other. People should read who ever they want and not worry if the writer is 'popular' or not.

I hope everyone is doing well and I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the blogging community again!
