This is weird.
I haven't sat infront of my computer like this for a long time. It's strange how much a little bit of time away can throw you off completely!
It's like I've forgotten how to type, but it feels so good to be back.
For those of you who have noticed .. I've been a little quiet recently.
I haven't uploaded that much and I've been away from social media for a bit. Do you know what? Sometimes a little bit of time away from that kinda of stuff is actually a dream.
It's crazy how much social media can get into your head.
So I haven't blogged since the end of October!
God that's a long time.
I feel like I needed a few months to remind myself what was important to me and give myself a bit of time to focus on myself.
I think my main struggle with this time of year is losing my grandad 2 years ago in November.
He was the first person in my family life who I have lost and it hit me hard.
It's one less laugh round the table at Christmas, it's one less person to remind me how important it is to be happy and it's one big hole in my heart.
He's one person who's shown me unconditional love since I was born.
So I have a pandora bracelet which I was bought for my 21st birthday which I treated myself to a new little charm.
I love things that have a meaning. And things that have a meaning that is probably going to be different for everyone.
I went for this little beauty.
Green was my grandads favourite colour. So it's a little charm with a lot of meaning.
The photo doesn't show off the colours as well as it looks on my wrist. It's super glittery and super green.

So yeah it's a whole new year now.
I think I've learnt a lot.
How to deal with stuff better!
I'm a nightmare when it comes to actually doing new things.
Just work, go home, eat and then get up to do the same again the next day.
Ok I definitely don't get better at the working less!
If it means earning more money then of course I'm doing it . Ahh I'm working is always an easy excuse to make if you won't want to venture out of your comfort zone for a bit!
Already this year I feel like I've got out on my comfort zone which is fantastic!
I mean yeah ok I've had an average of about 2 days off this year but work hard play hard I suppose.
Or just work a lot and occasionally do something fun.
This weekend I did something different.
I was spontaneous.
People who know me know I'm not the most confident of drivers.
I'm confident when it's a journey I know so I'm not going to have any unexpected driving related challenges to face but yesterday I got back from a little last minute trip to Southampton.
That meant venturing onto the motorway, some very unexpected hills, and a hell of a lot of getting myself lost.
It's fair to say I had a little meltdown on the way back.
But I'm back so that's the main thing!
It was so nice to just do my makeup nice and dress up a little bit.
I haven't been able to feel like a little princess in a long time.
And more importantly I haven't been able to get a little creative with a photo for a while. We all know I like a good selfie or window shot as I've gone for this time.
Ok well that's it from me for now.
I won't leave it 3 months till the next one I promise.
I have my blogging mojo back so who knows .. this year might be the year of a lot of new and more exciting things from me.
Watch this space.
Lots of love
