I recently took a holiday to Cape Verde and it was being there that really got the cogs turning.
As I was walking round, taking snaps and experiencing what really was a bizarre island (more to come on that) I thought to myself 'if only there was something I could have read (other than a travel agents brochure) to give me more of an insight into what to expect here'... and that is when I knew I was missing writing my blog.
The main purpose of a blog, in my opinion, is to gain information on places/products/things from a 'real life person' and THAT is why I am coming back... because I truly miss giving those honest opinions and writing about 'stuff'!
One year on however I am feeling more inspired. I hadn't really considered writing on here again after I slowly faded out the posts and never returned after my post last April. I saw blogging as more of a thing of the past. Been there, done that. Got bored. Time to move on. However, I am now really missing just being able to come to my laptop and write about something I love. If I am honest, I not only fell out of love with blogging but I also fell out of touch with make up. I wasn't really into it anymore. Even though that isn't the only thing I like to write about, it was the main reason I started For the life of me, Em in the first place and without that love of make up, there was really no point in carrying on.
I had qualified as a make up artist in the months running up to my last post but after hitting a point where I wasn't really sure what I was doing with my life and things all became too bewildering for me to know what the hell I was making of life, I seemed to block the world out and as I would say 'just carry on pooling along'.
As you would expect, a few things have changed since last year and I am feeling more inspired than ever to get back onto the blog! I still have no clue what life is going to throw at me and each day is a blooming' rollercoaster but...
...I am back and I am super excited about it!
See you soon,
