Hello strangers,  where have I been?! Good question. Amongst important school exams, starting new or ending existing relationships, finding a new identity for myself as I have grown older or be it lost in a temporary period of sheer sadness, the 6 months you haven't heard a single thing from me was because I've experienced it all. I would describe it as the hardest 6 months of my life so far, it was quite literally a horrifying  roller coaster. To those of you who have reached out to me and haven't since received a reply, I can reassure you I am on it and ready to go! I can only send such a sincere apology to everyone who reads and enjoys my work, and the guilt continues when I couldn't even bring myself to write a warning for you all that I would be inactive for such a long time, as every day brought quite literally a thunderstorm of emotions and I would never know what to expect and didn't want it reflecting in my writing. Reading this, I am sure some of you will not understand how I could've neglected such a beautiful community for such a long time and I know this doesn't cut it but from the bottom of my heart I am deeply sorry. 

Celebrate the season of change with Born Pretty, you cannot miss out on their beautiful jewelry&accessories this fall. It's that time of year when those berry lips, chunky boots and hot chocolate make a comeback. But wait, what about the sweaters ? Sweater weather, yep you guessed it, but not just any typical sweater weather ... nope,this year we're bringing back sweater bling. 

Walking through the unusually eerie shopping centre with a spring in my step has to be one of the weirdest things I have done. Where are all the people I thought to myself ? Why are all the shop shutters down ? Where has the lady who always gives out those free samples of pretzels gone? I'll tell you why. It was reserved for an event, an annual event .. only for bloggers. It was a Christmas press event. But it wasn't just any old event. It was my first ever Lush press event...

Saying that my day was amazing would be an understatement. It was such a privilege to receive tickets to both events, oh and not to mention my badge stating "press"! Of course I didn't keep it on for the rest of the day for people to notice on the street or on the train , nah course not ;) ....
