Fresh New Start!

Well… hello everyone! To say it has been a while would be an understatement. I always seem to get these bursts of inspiration and passion to blog, and while I'm in these bursts I'm incredibly consistent. However, these bursts {up until this point} always seem to dwindle out eventually… I think it's not due to my passion or inspiration dying out, but more so related to the fact that life happens. 

Whether I'm moving, or I'm uni-ing, or struggling to make ends meet here in London, there's always been something standing between me and the keyboard. But, I've decided I need to blog throughout these things, because this little bloggy of mine is sort of like a diary. I want to be able to look back on these posts in the future and see what I went through back in my youth. Especially at this time in my life, where all the important stuff is happening. I'm on my own for the first time, in a different country on the other side of the world from anything and anyone I've ever known, I'm only a few years away from going out into the real world from uni, I have opportunities and experiences to talk about. I want to be able to look back and see how I got to where I am in the future.

I would love to get back into the habit of blogging, also to encourage myself to get my camera out for some photos! I absolutely adore taking photos, I just need to do it. I suppose being a student as well, nothing too exciting happens on the regular where it's photo-worthy! But I will vow to go do things. I'm in London! There's a zillion and one things to do and see. Plus, I know for this year especially, that I will be traveling quite a lot so photos are a must! Time to get into that habit. 

As well as being an online diary of sorts, I would love to get back into the beauty product reviewing. I have many plans for this blog! It's sort of been all over the place as I try to figure out exactly what I want to do with my life {I apologise for that}, but definitely beauty and lifestyle is what I'd like to go for.

A lot has happened since I last blogged, perhaps I'll touch on some things that went down in future posts. A huge learning curve for me! I've learned that being an adult is tough. Yet wonderful at the same time.

Ooh, I also started making videos again! I have a new channel: alixintheclouds. Come say hi! :) Making videos and blogging are definitely my happy places. I love it! After making a few videos already and typing the blog post as we speak, I already feel totally happy inside.

Is there anything you wish you could commit to but always seem to dwindle out of? Is there something you absolutely love doing? Let me know down in the comments as I'd love to know! :)
