Hello (again)

Alright! There's a mugshot of me for you, trying to look smart wearing my friends glasses whilst holding a mojito. Never a smart idea...

I've been here far too many times now, started a blog, written a couple of posts, forgotten about them, started again, you get the drill. I've decided this time I want to make an actual, proper go of it! As my time at university looms around the halfway mark (all I can say is "aah!"), career options are a topic constantly playing on my mind. I have no clue what I want to do with my life, not sure if my degree is going to be of any help and am getting a tad peeved at the constant "so what are you going to do after uni?" questions. I have no idea! Blogging and vlogging are always something I've always been interested in. I started a blog & YouTube channel around 5 years ago at the tender age of 15. I sat down with a camera in my room babbling about beauty products and clothes, long before the days of the famous youtuber crowd (damn why didn't I stick at it!!). I was asked by YouTube to join their Partner programme, which is where you get paid for your videos, but being only 15, I sadly didn't have my own bank account and was too embarrassed to tell my family of my secret dream career so my channel slowly fizzled out. The same goes for my blog, I believe this is possibly the 3rd blog I've had now and none of them have been particularly successful (although one of them did have 14 subscribers once!). I always seem to start it up, then get too engrossed in studies to remember to carry it on. GCSE's, A Levels and the start of my degree have all been times I've tried, and failed, to give it a good go. I'm currently writing this with the intention of noone reading it, as I have zero subscribers but hopefully one day someone lovely and wonderful will stumble upon this little space and hit that big, juicy subscribe button and make a certain lady very happy that someone out there is listening! I'd like to take this blog in more of a random musings direction, rather than the beauty mad way of my 16 year old self. Expect to see ramblings about cooking, lifestyle, home and of course still some beauty. This is something I'd love to do as a career as I really can't see myself doing anything else. Let's give it a good go this time ey!
