Firstly, Happy New Year! I know I am so late in saying that
but as you can tell I’ve been seriously neglecting this blog lately. BUT I AM
BACK!! And as you may be able to tell I am a little excited about it! I feel
like my little blogging fire has been re-lit and can’t wait to see what this
year now has to bring!
This year I seriously want to bring the Blog Love (check out
my twitter handle @BlogLoveRT), I
seriously neglected this little space on the internet last year as I sort of
became a bit despondent with the whole blogosphere. I was finding it wasn’t a
fun network of people with a similar hobby anymore, but somewhere that had
become very bitchy and competitive. Two things that massively aren’t my cup of
tea and not what I signed up for. So I took a giant step back for a while and
put my energies into other things. I started a new job, I seriously got into
the gym (I heart weights, who knew?!) and running, which was an awesome experience,
and I finished the year with a month in Australia. 2015 was a pretty good year
for me but I have missed writing and playing in this little creative space a
lot more than I ever thought!
It feels so strange to be sat here typing away again, I feel
a little nervous as to what it may lead to but I also feel like I’ve come home.
However things are going to be a little different, as you can already see I’ve
had a ‘Lipsticks and Lashes’ has undergone a little revamp, all courtesy of the
gorgeous Hayley over at Tea Party
Beauty. I’m a little bit in love with it! I feel like it’s fresh and simple
and suits where I am at the moment. What do you all think??
I’m also not going to blog to a fixed time plan, I used to
blog 4 times a week and get myself stressed out if I didn’t blog for a few
days. Feels silly now, what’s the worst that could happen?! Some of my favourite
bloggers only post once a week, they have a great readership and I always look
forward to what they are going to post next. I think that’s how it should be! I
want to enjoy blogging not find it a burden. So I am going to blog when I fancy
doing so! I have tons of post ideas floating around my head at the moment so it
will probably be a few times a week and do you know what? I can’t wait! Expect
the usual beauty reviews, mixed up with travel posts, health and fitness, clean
eating and general positive lifestyle post. All the things that excite me!
Also in case you have missed it, The
Bloggers Snail Mail project is BACK!!! So many fab bloggers have signed up
already so I think it’s going to be such an exciting round. You have till this Friday
to sign up so check out the
blog post all about it here!
Bring on 2016!
Yay, it looks beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful!!!x
