Here's to 32!

Every year on the run up to my birthday I have this huge pang of dread. All I want to do is cry and isolate myself away from the world. To sleep the day away.  Then I feel super selfish and guilty towards my loved ones as they always go out of their way to make it special. I am very lucky to have a small yet supportive and loving group of people around me. I suppose I always envisioned my life differently growing up. I thought by 32 I would have a stable relationship/married, a home of my own, a career that I loved, and children. Yet I am a 32 year old, single, childless, still living at home, and no idea what I should be doing with my life. I have no issue with aging as this is just a natural process of living.  When it comes to other peoples birthdays I absolutely love celebrating them and their day...

RETURNING TO BLOGGING

I felt so much pressure back then to be perfect, I did not know how to use my voice, and have opinions for myself. My life as a qualified nurse completely took over.  I am now navigating life in my 30s. I am happily single. Seriously overweight. Struggling with my mental health on a daily basis.  I want my blog to be the cosy, safe haven, away from the craziness and loneliness of the world. I'm hoping creating content helps me find myself whilst I talk all things skincare, beauty, and lifestyle. I also want to find healthy habits. How is everyone? Is blogging still a thing now we are in 2024?  EmmaJaynexo
