It's been a while.

First off... Sorry for being so utterly rubbish on the updating front. It's been a crazy (and super stressful) couple of months that I haven't particularly felt like writing about. Plus I'm currently without a laptop so blogging from the iPad at the moment which isn't as fun as it seems.

I've been watching a lot of youtube videos and reading other peoples blogs trying to think what my niche is. How can I set myself apart from every other blogger out there? What makes me different?

I am a normal person. I work a normal persons job and do normal person things. I go out for dinner, hang out with my family, drink cocktails with my friends (only when it's happy hour, Manchester is pretty expensive) and, like every other girl out there, I buy things. Lots of things. I like things.

The things I know most about are probably skin care products, nail polish and make up. I currently have a collection of around 200 (and growing) nail polishes, and four make up bags (yes, four) filled with my favourite products. Being the super organised person that I am, they are categorised. everyday essentials, summer products, things I rarely wear and favourites. Also, having SUPER problem skin which is only just starting to show signs of improvement at the age of 24, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to skin care. Because I have tried everything. No, really.

I love clothes and I love fashion, but would never consider myself as one of these girls who posts a daily picture of what they're wearing that day. Don't get me wrong, that's totally fine if that's what you want to do but the thought of me doing it makes me cringe. Plus, what I wear on an everyday basis is kind of boring so I doubt a lot of people would even be interested. You hardly want to be dressed to kill in your best clothes when you're unpacking a 40 carton delivery of shoes on a Tuesday morning. I save the good stuff for my days off.

 When it comes to clothes, I don't tend to follow trends. (I know thats what everyone says, right?) Being a size 14 and 5'8 I am NEVER going to be able to pull off leather trousers, disco pants, crop tops or dungarees (I tried them, I looked like one of those adults who has a fetish to dress as a baby. Not cool) and I'm okay with that. I wear what suits me and what I like. Although admittedly it's getting more difficult now because I'll see something I like and get really excited about it but at nearly 25 I sometimes have to take a step back and think 'Am I too old to be wearing this?' And sometimes the answer is yes. Sob.

 It's great to take inspiration from other people or magazines or other girls on the high street but at the end of the day what looks good on one person doesn't necessarily look good on another. And above all it's nice to be individual, not just copying everyone else.

I won't leave it another two months before my next post. Promise.
