Um, hi guys! Long time, no see etc etc.

In a nut shell, your gal went on a social media break for Lent, then lost any motivation she'd ever had for the blog, Instagram, the lot, exams hit, and it took going to a marketing summer school and being told having a social media presence helps get a job in social media (true story, can't tell a lie) to get me to pull my socks up and get back on here again.

I also turned 21, meaning I am less and less able to hide from adult responsibility. I had the best time celebrating, going for a meal with my Uni friends, seeing Phantom of the Opera in London with my friends from home, and enjoying a beautiful meal cooked by my Grandma with my family.

I've been to my first opera, attended a marketing summer school (blog posts on each of these to follow), and completed an incredible work experience with Benefit Cosmetics (who else attended their fab Hello Happy event in Shoreditch?).

But most importantly, I've decided to "rebrand", which means a re-introduction is in order:
