A BIG hello and welcome:)
So I've joined the blogging community! This is a LONG time coming but I am overwhelmed with excitement and nervousness!
As my first official post I think its important that you get to know the girl who's going to be doing all the writing for this blog!
t h e b a s i c s.
My background is Jamaican. I grew up in Canada, but I went to law school in Brighton UK. Although currently, I am back in Canada, I am looking to move back to England sometime this year. I'm quite tall...probably 6 feet last time I checked. Some days I'm a vegetarian, some days I'm a vegan, and some days I eat absolutely everything but this year I am trying my best to get more healthy and fit.
Currently I'm at a crossroads in my life. I was an aspiring lawyer (and still may be) but right now I'm open to ALL the possibilities that may be ahead career wise. So after 7 years of uni, I may be one of those people that don't use their degree in their job (and that's okay!)
I absolutely love to travel (don't we all?). Since going to Uni in the UK, I've been to France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Czech Republic, Tenerife and The Netherlands (all done on a student budget!)
I have a boyfriend who I met in the UK 3 years ago (he's a Brit). He is currently with me here in Canada but the plan is to move back together this year.
what this blog will be about.
All the things I know and love, like beauty & fashion and travel. I'm also picking up a new hobby in thrifting so I will dabble in that side of things too! But besides those things, I also wanted to have a conversation about "the real" stuff about life, like body issues, my social anxiety, living with parents, and transitioning into adulthood. What I love most about my favourite bloggers is when they're up front and real about their personal lives so definitely this will be a big aspect of my blog.
what's my personal style?
Since graduating from Uni I'm still trying to find my personal style. Currently, I'm loving the monochrome trend and I think my closet is slowly turning towards that. I took a quiz recently and apparently I lean towards the style of Victoria Beckham and Alexa Chung. Personally, I love trends that are quite girly and classic chic looking.
hobbies (other than blogging)?
I'm a yogi! I was introduced to the world of yoga a few years back but recently started really getting back into it. It gives me a sense of calm and happiness. I would say I love to spend time with friends socializing etc etc but most of the times I'm a homebody, at home with a good book (in love with historical fiction atm) or watching Netflix. Obviously from this blog, I love all things beauty and fashion, but I'm a sucker for city exploring in museums, castles, or art galleries (from all my time spent in Europe) Oh I when I finally get that pup I've been dying for, I'm sure that will take up all my time as well!
how often will I post?
I'm still fine tuning my blog layout and content. I'm going to try my hardest to post at least 3x a week!
and finally....
I really want to get to know as many as you as I possibly can! I want to be an active, and supportive blogger (I love reading new blogs!) I want for you guys to leave me links to your blogs and comment on anything you see on here. I'm fairly new to this world but I would love to get any advice from you seasoned bloggers as well!!
Anyways lots more to come! And now I will officially end my first blog post! Eeek!!!!!!!
Leave links to your blogs below!
Lots of love,
