So, I started this blog and – despite the fact I work in PR and write a billion things each day; managing blogs and profiles for plenty of companies – I’ve made all of the cardinal sins. I haven’t maintained a regular presence, engaged or basically done anything.
Why? Well, life. And it’s pretty hard to build and maintain an online persona that is flawless.
I’m really not a flawless person – below is a picture of me right now. Defo not flawless. And yep I put a filter on it, because, let’s face it – nobody wants to see that.
I’m kind of busy. I get home, realise there’s no food in and have to eat out. I like sleeping (I mean if I don’t get my eight hours there’s just no point). I also think it’s important to chill out, but mostly end up worrying. So then I’m like, blog – ahhh, that can wait.
The truth is, I’m really not cut out to be a ‘lifestyle blogger’, I think I’m more of a ‘I haven’t got a clue what’s going on kind of lifestyle blogger’. So from now on I’m just going to talk about stuff I actually understand – mostly being in my mid/late 20s and plodding around wondering what’s going on – let’s be honest, I don’t have the face for Instafame anyway.
So, new topics will include:
My simple tricks that work for me beauty wise
Me, immediately after putting make up on and filtered AF.
Clothes and styles I like and might wear if I can afford
Commentary on how stupid life can be
Things I learn about how to deal with how stupid life can be
My little projects – i.e. furniture hacks, sewing if I ever dust off my sewing machine etc.
Enjoy and let me know what you think…
Lol!! This was great and so entertaining! It definitely is time consuming blogging but love your ideas. Great post 🙂

I actually enjoy the real life quality to your writing. It’s not lofty impressionism. Just you, take it or leave it. And really that’s all I want personally when I write and read. We don’t need to fit into any category, just make our own. Blog as you like.

Exactly. You do it for yourself. You never know if they’ll like it, or be inspired or whatever. But first of all, you write for you. Everyone else just takes it or leaves it. Same way for life. As long as you enjoy it. …and thank you!!! Every now and again I happen into my Reader and find someone like you.

I mean it though. No false flattery. And I think I’ll probably post by tomorrow. Always depends on how I’m feeling and how the words are. But if you check my space you can see what I’ve done recently. 😊 Happy Sunday!
