Goodbye 2013

It's almost 2014 and may I be the first one to say THANK GOODNESS. I'm not one of those people who every year get to October and end up wishing away the last few months of the year, searching for the elusive 'brand new me.' The grass is always greener, my darlings. But 2013 really wasn't great for me. As many of you know, my ex boyfriend (who I used to run a blog with and appeared on this blog several times) and I started having problems.  After 4 and a half years Jimbo terminated (lets cringe at the clinical language, but I don't want to open the flood gates) our relationship. It sucked. It affected my Summer, my exams and the start of my second year. My grades dropped, I missed out on socialising with friends, my health deteriorated and I hated everything I saw in the mirror. I wanted to stay in bed, and a lot of the time, I just did. 

The turning point came in November (the 5th to be exact) when I realised I'd been missing out on life, whilst being sad. 'Yolo' suddenly had a profound meaning, sorry not sorry. I think back to the Summer now, and I know at the time, I did what I needed to do but I had a lot of amazing experience over the Summer, such as LFW, that looking back now, are just a blur. 

So goodbye, 2013. You tried your hardest, but I'm ready to move on. I'm going to throw myself into my blog and youtube channel. I've got big goals, baby. I'm going to ace my exams, kill it at Ultimate Frisbee (I play for my uni team for those of you who don't know) and I'm going to have fun. Like, tonnes of it. So, expect better quality videos, more blog posts on both fashion and beauty (beauty sadly took a back seat in 2013) and its going to be great.

Thank you for reading, supporting and remember I love you all,
