Hi lovelies! I've been a bit MIA lately and haven't been blogging as regularly, boo! As you can see, the past two weeks have been crazy busy for me. I've spent a lot of time with family and in and out of London for events, interviews and all sorts. So, we have a bit of catching up to do!

First off, I'd been having a bit of a rough time as I wasn't completely happy with work and things, so I spent a lot of time just chilling out with Darren, seeing my Family and going out with Friends, just trying to enjoy and appreciate the little things in life. Whether that be looking through old family photos with my sister Hannah, my Mum and my Nan, going out for a few cocktails with friends or just watching family guy until 1 in the morning with Darren. We all go through tough times in our lives and granted, mine definitely wasn't the worst, but little things had been getting me down but instead of letting it get the better of me I decided to change it! So, fast forward two weeks and two interviews, I've now officially started working for Nails Inc in Oxford Street, London! I'm so, so excited to be there as it's such a fab company. While I love beauty, I wanted a career I could progress in and hopefully this is going to be exactly that! I came to realise that if I wasn't happy with what was going on in my life, moaning about it or worrying constantly wasn't going to change that. I had to get up, brush myself off and do something about it! So that's exactly what I did. Working in London is something I've always wanted to do and I'm so excited to see how this goes, so I'll definitely keep you all updated.

In addition to all the madness, I also went to Company Beauty Week last week, which was amazing. I got to meet lots of lovely bloggers including Perdi, Taliha, Becky, Ellie and Angelica. I didn't get to hang around and chat for nearly as long as I'd have liked to but they were all lovely and beautiful girls and I'd totally recommend checking out all of their blogs! Beauty week was amazing, the staff were so helpful and informative, there were endless amounts of champagne and canapes, a fab photobooth (what blogger in their right mind doesn't love a good photobooth?) and we got a gorgeous goodie bag at the end of the night, incredible! I so wish I could've attended more of the Beauty Week events and would love to know if any of you have done blog posts on them as I'd love to hear all about it.

What have you been up to lately?
