It's been the longest time since I opened up my personal laptop and loaded up my blog. I even thought I'd forgotten my laptop's password, it had been that long.

Hello guys! I am so sorry for being MIA this year. Actually, I'm going to stop apologising for not blogging as regularly as I used to because I'm no longer a 16-year-old student with bucket loads of free time – I'm a fully-fledged adult with a full-time job, a career and dreams. 

Valentine's Day is here once again and like every other year in my life when this time has rolled around, I'm single and turning to self-love and self-care to celebrate this day filled with love and affection. And honestly, what better way to celebrate Valentine's than with a big 'ole pamper session? And thanks to LUSH and their annual Valentine's Day collection, I can have the best V-Day pamper in existence... but what will I be using?

I'm 26 and I officially think I'm having a quarter life crisis. My life, as a whole, is amazing. I've got everything a girl my age could possibly want, and that's not lost on me in the slightest. But this year I'll be 27 and I've never even kissed anybody – tragic, right? 

Christmas is only a matter of weeks away, and if I'm honest, this year has been the most organised I've ever been. Ever. I had most of my Christmas presents bought by the end of August, which I guess isn't a hard feat considering I have a tiny family that really only comprises of my mum and cat. But either way, I like to think of myself as pretty prepared and organised... I am a Virgo after all.
