Where I've Been Lately

Hello everyone,
 
You may have noticed, but I haven’t posted for a long while. I thought it was time I let you know why.
 
I have managed to consistently post twice a week for over a year now until recently. I had a lot of time on my hands when I was on furlough and then I was made redundant late last year. I had always enjoyed blogging and it kind of filled a sort of lonely hole in my life and it was also a type of therapy for me. My life has dramatically changed since the global pandemic started. I managed to lose quite a bit of weight during the first UK lockdown, but then backtracked a little when I went back to work. Since I was made redundant in November, a lot of things have changed again. I have lost a lot more weight, joined a gym and I am starting a new job soon. I am actually starting to enjoy and live my life, whereas before the pandemic I feel like I was just existing and I was very unhappy in myself and with my life overall. I feel like I have been given a second chance and I don’t want to waste it! I am still continuing with my weight loss journey and I haven’t backtracked once. There are also a lot of things I would like to do now that I feel like I can do them, this means I won’t really have the time or energy to blog. Also, I have kind of lost the motivation to blog. I also haven’t been as interested in trying new make-up and I have just been using what I already have, if I even fancy applying it at all!
 
What’s going to happen at the moment is that if I fancy blogging, I will post something but there won’t be a schedule. The posts will be sporadic and possibly random. I anticipate that I will possibly stop blogging altogether when I start my new job, but I am not certain as of yet. I’m not making any promises, but I am not leaving permanently quite yet.
 
Take care and thank you for your support.

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...

TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush , so all credit is awarded to her. 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it? I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like. 2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast? My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for. 3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit? I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive. 4. What is your quintessential British pastime? I love visiting ruins/m...
