A tentative hello...

Recently a lot of the bloggers I have loved and followed for a long time (many of who I am privileged to call friends) have decided not to renew their domains and I have to tell you, I was so tempted to do the same but despite only blogging once a year (max) for the last gazillion years, I am loathe to completely say goodbye to this corner of the internet just yet. 


I have so many half-written posts that I just can't quite pull the plug yet. Clinging onto my youth? Nostalgia? Naiveté? Who knows! But why not pull up a chair and fill me in on how you have been?


A fresh start


It has been a long time since I have posted on my little corner of the internet but I wasn't quite ready to pull the plug just yet. I started this blog with Danni nearly a decade ago (!) and I never imagined all of the different opportunities it would open up for me. Nowadays I am a social media marketer by day and I'm less inclined to take photos and rattle off a post when I get home from work, mainly because my need for a creative outlet is much less urgent than when I was working at ASDA for instance. The usual joys of stress and pressure have also piled up so I couldn't dedicate the energy I needed to make this a feasible part of my everyday routine.  
I still love seeking out bargains and styling up outfits though, so expect to see a bit more of that here. Mark and I also bought our first house back in December 2018 so a lot of our disposable income is going on finding pieces for that rather than adding to my ever-expanding wardrobe! I have also set myself a challenge to read more books than last year and I'm pleased to say I'm already 40 down towards my target of 130. If you've got any recommendations, please do let me know. Looking forward to re-acquainting myself with everyone's blogs (hopefully at least some of my faves are still posting!)

Here's to fresh starts!
