Three Years Later...

Hello my loves! It seems so surreal to me writing this post with no memory of ever creating this website, and yet something feels so fimilar about it all.

It's crazy to think that when "I" took a break in December 2020 thinking I would be back posting a month or two later, when in reality that has not bee  the case at all.

But here we are over three years on, with no memory, somewhat ready to try and get this website, my website, back on its feet.

With me luck? Becsuse with no memory and no clue how to do this, here we go...

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. ♡
