MIA

Hey guys,

So it doesn't take a genius to see that I haven't been very consistent with this blog, in fact I haven't posted in months.

I definitely want to get back into blogging as it's a great creative outlet for me, however it turns out I don't have as much free time as I thought.

The thing is, who has time for a well rounded life - and hobbies?

We're supposed to eat a balanced diet, exercise everyday, work the 9 to five, take good care of our skin, make time for our friends, families and other halves, have some me time...oh, and sleep eight hours a night. Quite frankly, I find this impossible. It's something I've always struggled with.

And I am easily the least organized person in the world which makes blogging a difficult hobby for me, and I suck at taking photo's.

I find life slightly overwhelming sometimes, and on those days I feel like blogging and getting all my thoughts down would be a good thing, but it's on those days more than any other that I feel like I have nothing to say or that I'm just not motivated enough to sit down and do it.

So this post is just going to be a small list of everything I have done in the last six months since I have not been blogging. Just to remind myself that I had a pretty great six months - and it could have been even better if I'd documented it more efficiently.

• My Auntie got married - It was such a beautiful day and I had the best time surrounded by amazing people.
• A few days later, I went on holiday to Ibiza - An incredible experience that I don't think I'll ever forget. I went with one of my best friends, we saw Avicii live and danced all night, drank straight vodka out of sand castle buckets and saw an incredible sunset from a boat.
• I found out my brother was having a baby - Probably the scariest thought in the world that someone so small will be joining our family in late March this year, but I really can't wait to meet him - he's having a boy!!
• I moved house - Yes, I still live with my parents, I moved with them, but all the same this was really exciting and a long time coming. I'm currently in the middle of completely redecorating the very 'boyish' bedroom I have been given and I can't wait to see it all pay off in the end.
• I had a phenomenal Christmas - This Christmas was a really special one for me, it was probably the best one I've ever had. I really enjoyed spending time with my family and friends and I was well and truly spoiled rotten by everyone.
• I saw a ballet - At the beginning of this year I went to see Swan Lake in Cardiff St David's Hall. I didn't have very high expectations, however it was truly captivating. I loved it, I couldn't take my eyes off the dancers and I would definitely go see The Nutcracker next time.

I had a really incredible 2014 and I have very high hopes for an equally amazing 2015. I hope to be blogging more this year and I really hope that I can communicate with some more people on here.

Until next time,

Lauren x
