Life has really gotten in the way of Me recently, and I had to take a few months off from blogging and being active on social media, and being active socially altogether. My anxieties really peaked and it has probably been the hardest last few months for a long long time. 

I feel better now though. I feel like I can attack life with a new zest and want to really enjoy this year, and keep myself and my mind healthy. 

I know it's cliche and the whole "new year, new me" is widely teased on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, but I am not aiming for a new me; I'm aiming for the old me. I am aiming to be carefree and to enjoy myself this year. 

When I started this blog, in my mind what I wanted it to be is nothing like how it's turned out to be. Which is a real shame. This year, however, I'm merely focussing on my own personal bucket list, and completing it. 

I love a good make-up review as much as the next person, but I'm so bored of reading reviews of products that a million other bloggers have written the same review for. That's not to say there won't be any reviews anymore, but I'm only going to write them if the product is something I've not seen too widely before and if I genuinely think people are going to read it! 

So.... I want this blog to take a new direction and that's how it's going to be. I'm aiming for a post a week, though there may be dry weeks where there is nothing particularly fascinating to share. I want to do more travel blogs, as they are the ones I enjoy writing most. I also want to massively increase my recipe repertoire as I really enjoy cooking and feel like with my new camera I can take better photos to help explain. 

I hope everyone has a healthy and happy new year, and I'm really excited to share my new content! 

Thanks for your patience and continued readership,

All My Love,

Ellie xx
