So, its been a long long time since I wrote anything on the blog. I honestly went through a phase of thinking that I had nothing very special to say to the world.
When I first started, I thought that I would be posting every day, sometimes more than once a day (how wrong i was). It turns out that I've got loads of things to talk about but I just didn't have the time to actually talk about them on here.
Back in February of this year I wrote a big post about Valentines and how much I didn't like it. I was single at the time.
5 days after valentines I took a chance on someone who had been in my life for almost a year but who I had kept at arms length for silly reasons like I didn't think I wanted a relationship and I didn't think that he would actually want to be with this slightly overweight, slightly stressy and grumpy thing.
Turns out, he was just lovely, we really clicked and I found myself wishing that I had given him a chance sooner.
So that's partly the reason that i haven't been posting - i was all realtionshipped up! (yaay!) That and work has been very up and down lately. I am first and foremost and makeup artist and skincare specialist, however I'm also the type that can never be out of work so I like to have a 9 to 5 to keep myself going and to keep a regular income, especially as I'm trying to get Urban Goddess off the ground properly.
I had one of those soul destroying call centre jobs for a while, but I literally felt like I was in job hell so I had to leave. I am helping out now and again at my lovely friend Robyn's catering business Little Bird Catering and I'm also doing some temping to keep myself going. Its all not too bad on the work front really.
The boy and I recently split up too. I'm still unsure why but he felt that it wasn't working and he somehow thought that I wanted to settle down (we had been invited to my friends wedding and he thought that it meant I was in the same place???) who knows how he got to that conclusion but that was over a week ago and although we have talked a little by text, we haven't had a proper conversation yet so I'm not sure if we'll work it out. I hope we do, because we had some great times (random trip to Cornwall etc). I'll keep you posted on that one.
So...here I am and its 30th July (where has the first half of the year gone?) and I find myself in a reflective mood and i felt like I could pick up the blogging again.
The good news is that my mojo is coming back slowly. I'm actually writing a book (super exciting!). Its going to be about all the things I love, super skincare you can do at home without buying pricey products, (some of whch you can actually buy directly from Urban Goddess - see the next post on how to do that) home spa treats, makeup tips, cooking amazing food for friends and family and so much more.
I'm planning on having it ready in 2013 so of course I'll write posts about it and maybe even do some sneak previews on here.
If there is anyone out there reading this who would like to contribute to my research, please do get in touch and I'll email some questions over to you.
So lovely people, a very brief update on all things Urban Goddess. Here's to the second half of this year bringing bigger and better things.
Much love
UG
