I haven't been able to blog for a couple of weeks. The combination of working in retail at Christmas and having a business where I have my most orders of the year to get out in time for the big day has proved somewhat tiring. I say tiring, I mean horrific. (that might be a slight exaggeration, but it has been hectic!) It stresses me out when I can't blog, I'm sure a lot of you will relate. Although in the circumstances, I do have to prioritise and learn not to freak out about it. I have had to learn to understand that I am only one person. It is not less important to me, but something has to give. I by no means think of my blog as a career, there are tones of amazing bloggers and influencers that I look up to that have managed to make a living from it, but for me it is a hobby. If I had the time I would love to make it my number one priority, I absolutely love working with brands and connecting with likeminded people, but I have to be realistic and I just don't have the time. This might seem like I'm shooting myself in the foot a bit and I don't want to sound unenthusiastic, but I have to be realistic about it. My business will always have to come first. Saying that, I still want to develop my blog as much as I can, and put is as much time and effort as physically possible. It's something I love doing, something that has brought me great opportunities and something I wont be giving it up anytime soon. I think writing this paragraph is just a bit of therapy for me! It's me declaring that it's ok not be able to be wonder woman and manage 3 big things in my life equally. I feel better for it.

 

 

On another, less thought provoking note, how nice is this jacket? I've been after a tan shearling one for ages, but the ones I liked would have cost me an arm and a leg. So although this Glamorous one is still £80, they nearly always have discount codes floating about. If they're not promoted on their site pay our good ol' pal Vouchercodes a visit. I think they have a £50% off dresses promo on at the moment. They don't do any of this 15% shit... they go in the with big guns.

 

If I don't get another chance to blog before Christmas, having an amazing time. Eat and drink what ever the hell you want and give all your loved ones big kisses under the mistletoe.
