    I have been dark haired ever since the day I was born. I came out with jet black hair and a heck of a lot of it. Everyone laughed and joked that I looked like a little monkey. For our Wedding, my hair grew and grew once more and my locks were a deep auburn/brown still. As soon as our Wedding day was over and done with I decided that it was now or never to make a drastic change to my look. So with that, my luscious, long locks were cut off to a bob and so the task of getting my hair lighter began.

    Without trying to assume, this post is probably reaching out to a demographic that will be spending their hard earned cash on a female counterpart this Valentines Day. The day that has been called out for being just another “consumerism day” that retailers have added to our calendar over the years to bridge that gap between both Christmas and Easter and get some extra bank rolling in. But, as much as you love to hate it, it is here to stay. It’s not something that’s going to change so if you are really struggling to decide on something to give to a loved one, this handy last minute guide might just help!

    Gosh, I really do seem to be very up and down on my blog as of late. I’m finally getting to a really good place in life. My relationship just feels so wonderful at the moment, work is going really well and my mental health is on the incline after finally accepting and getting help. Despite all of the above I’ve been ever so quiet on Twitter and Instagram recently. It’s been really nice just living in the now and not having to work to too many deadlines or feeling like I need to be connected to world wide web all the time.

    I was called “very strong-willed” the other day. It’s very far away from the view I have of myself to be honest. I just see myself as a panicky, over-thinking, late-twenty year old mess. But then, I got thinking about it. Maybe I actually am quite “strong” – because some of the things I have to put up with, which for the purposes of this blog I will not actually go in to detail, a lot of people probably would have said a big “F U” to, many, many, maaaaaany moons ago. The same person who said I was “strong-willed” I actually stood up for the other day in a slightly heated discussion. One where it felt like they were getting the blame for something that in all it’s entirety was not their fault. So yes, I sat back and thought deeply (yeah ‘cos I am deep & shit!) and came to conclusion that actually yes, maybe I am.

    So I wrote a post about where Summer had got to? Then within an hour of the post going live we were subject to temperatures way past 20 degrees Celsius. I now know that all I need to do to win the lottery is write a blog post about “WHERE ALL MA MONEY AT?” (I joke, of course!) so I was a little bit worried to write a post only days later entitled “The sun has got his hat on” that he might go back on his jollies and take his sunshine elsewhere and leave us Brits with the rain, again. I guess I’m going to have to take a risk and we will just have to wait and see, won’t we?
