The great return...

This is going to be a very relaxed blog post.  Here is a photo of me as I'm writing it.  It's a crappy webcam photo, but it just felt right OKAY.  Also I changed my blog URL, and will be changing the top banner thing -  bare with, bare with.


Wow, okay.  It's been a while.  University is pretty hectic, but I do love it.  Obviously blogging has had to take a backseat, and it's taken me a little while to get my head around time management and all that jazz, but now I'm attempting to make a comeback to my blog, and hope you will welcome me back with the kindness you welcomed me with in the beginning. 

So what have I actually been doing?  Well I'm studying religion, which I may have previously mentioned.  I won't go into huge detail about what I'm studying on the course, since I doubt anyone is massively interested - but so far I can confirm Hinduism is really cool and the Goddess is kind of my hero.  She rides a lion.  Goals.

I'm also working a Christmas temp at Lush, which I very much enjoy, and prefer to my old job at a D.I.Y and homeware store.  It's a lot more 'me', although I do need to get my product knowledge up to scratch!  Remembering the ingredients to the different products is a bit of a challenge!  

And now, what does the future hold for ella-mink?  I'm annoyed at myself for stopping when I did, because my blog was growing and more and more people were having a read, and I could have made the most of that.  I'm going to hopefully be blogging twice a week, and I'd like to do more lifestyle-y posts.  Since I'm not living with my parents anymore I'm getting to grips with budgeting and being an adult.  Like today I rang an estate agent.  What the hell.  How did I get so old?!

Also I kind of actually have a social life now, which is a bit weird, like I do actually leave the house on Saturday nights.  And sometimes other nights too!  (hahaha I'm introducing my terrible jokes to m blog - please don't leave)  And another exciting thing that happened in my life - my boyfriend let me have some of his Sharpie pens, so I took all the pink and purples ones.  Obviously. 

I know this post is kind of different to what I started out doing on this blog, but I will still be doing beauty things!  Seriously, I am still as obsessed with make up as ever, if not more.  But I'd just like to throw in a few more "this me and this is what's happening in my life" posts.  Like what I thought a blog should be when I was 13.  Considering I still act 13 most of the time, that seems like an appropriate format.  

Here is a photo of me with a real camera to make me seem like a real blogger.



I'll chat to you again soon, and I really do hope you'll stick with me as I attempt to switch things up a bit on my blog.  I just want to be a bit more fun for the both of us.
