50




My first big milestone! I can't believe I'm FIFTY posts in! I decided to start my little blog back in February, during a time when everything wasn't going my way. I was getting really down about job prospects and decided to risk all, and start my blog.

What an adventure I've had so far! I've loved every second of planning and writing new, interesting posts to share with you all. Hopefully, you've enjoyed reading them too!



This blog, to me, is everything I'm passionate about. Style, fashion & travel are all so close to my heart, so contributing every day and making something I'm proud of is the best feeling ever!

I however, would find it hard to do any of this if it wasn't for people like you, taking the time to read what I have to say, or watching me on my YouTube videos. So I have to say a massive thank you to you all! Plus a big shout to the handful of brands so far that have taken a chance on me being relatively new in the blogging world.



I remember and still sometimes think about how risky this all is, sharing my opinions on style and wondering if anyone is actually interested? But every time I get a nice comment or nod in my direction, I know I'm doing the right thing. I want to make this blog a success, I'm passionate, driven and still get super excited every time I get to share one of my posts with you. I'm so grateful you all still check in to see and hear what I have to say.


In this 50th post, I thought I'd let you all get to know me a little better with fifty facts about me, so here we go. This is the list, however, if you want to see and hear the facts in a little more detail & involving A LOT more hand movements watch it across on my YouTube channel here.
