My Health Comes First | Personal Post

Hello my lovelies! As I'm writing this, it's Saturday 10th October and it's nearly three am and I feel heartbroken that my health has gotten so bad that this post needs to be shared...

If you have been following me on my website for a while or on any of my social media pages over the past few months then you will have probably seen already that I have been suffering from an arthritis flare-up. I have suffered from rheumatoid idiopathic arthritis since I was six years old but have never ever suffered this badly before.

That being said, I am heartbreakingly having to take a massive step back from my website, blogging, replying to emails and doing social media work until my health is back on track but I will be back doing what I love best. However, I have no clue at all when this is going to be but hopefully, it won't be too long. I will try and keep updating my Twitter and my Instagram pages as and when I am able to do so. Please check either of these pages for any updates from me.

I am so sorry to any companies, brands or bloggers that I have been due to work with over the best few months. It really does break my heart knowing I am unable to fulfil with these posts and people right now but fingers crossed it won't be too long until I will be back.

Until then, I love you all and thank you so much for your support. ♡
