RETURNING TO BLOGGING

-

Hi all,

Its been a while! I cannot believe I last posted 4 years ago. 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?

    I'm glad you've decided to blog again Emma! I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with your mental health. I know how it feels, if you need a chat, I'm a DM away! I'm still blogging and I still love it! I know there are a few others who are still blogging regularly also! x

    Welcome back, Emma! As a fellow nurse, I totally get how hectic work can be. Balancing content creation with our schedules can be challenging - I'm still working on consistency myself. Looking forward to reading more of your posts!

      Thank you Lenne :)
      My inbox is always open if you ever need someone. Mental health sucks but it is always good to know I am not on my own.
      That is incredible. I wish I had found your blog sooner x

    Welcome back! I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with your mental health. It's so tricky to keep your life balanced enough to stay feeling well, especially when you're trying to throw a blog into the mix. A blog takes a lot of time! Blogging is definitely a thing in 2024, you just need to find the people who are still blogging:) Look forward to reading your future posts xx

Hey beauties, This September LookFantastic Beauty Box turns 6! Their Birthday Edition Beauty Box comes with 6 beauty treats.  Brushworks Jade Roller I absolutely love this facial roller. I love the cooling sensation it gives my skin whilst I massage my favourite serums and/or oil onto my skin. It helps to relieve tension from my face.  Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream I have tried a sample of this product before and it leaves my skin feeling absolutely incredible. It isn't heavy and is a perfect day cream. This cream includes a maximum concentrate of Padina Pavonica which is a powerful marine extract as well as having antioxidant properties that are said to improve collagen production to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This I cannot comment on as I do not currently have ageing skin thankfully.  ESPA Pink Hair & Scalp Mask I adore a good hair mask and I am excited to give this a try. Pe...

September Goals

Photo by  Alex Geerts  on  Unsplash Hello Beauties, I thought I would share with you all my goals for September. I know it is probably a bit random as we are nearly halfway through the month but I feel inspired to write this. Exercise more| I have recently become a member of a local gym and would like to aim at going at least 2 times a week as well as going for a swim. Unfortunately, with lockdown I have put on a lot of weight so now is the time for me to concentrate on getting healthier and fitter. The days I have off of the gym I would like to aim of taking my 2 Bichon Frises for a walk. Eat better| Alongside, exercising more I would like to start eating better, and being more conscious of the food choices I make, I am not going to 'diet' as such, but when I have a sweet craving I will be reaching for an apple over chocolate. Experiment with food| I would like to become more inventive with recipes and look into making healthier recipes. I absolu...
