So...it’s been a while

Since March 2018 to be precise. I had plans, y’all. Plans for posts on trips and beauty and other things for Roaming Holiday that I was initially excited about. I had changed jobs, it was exciting, I was working in a different city, I was going to have more of an insider’s insight to beauty...and then things slowly started to pile on and on and on.

My commute went from 20 minutes each way to near 90 minutes each way, I didn’t anticipate that spending my day focusing on beauty would leave me feeling creatively wrung out towards it over time, and then my partner’s father passed away suddenly, and a series of little stressful snowballs built to an avalanche and I decided to just take a break from anything extraneous that wasn’t pretty much work or relaxing. I didn’t know it was going to last two years. At the time, I had also started anti-anxiety medication and it took a while to adjust to that as well. Basically, all this say I got overwhelmed with a lot of things and lost my spark for blogging.

Now here we are in 2020 and I’ve been stuck working from home since March and with commuting no longer a factor right now and needing to throw myself creatively again at something that isn’t day job related, I’m back to blogging. And yes, I see the irony of picking things up again with a blog that’s part travel focused in a time of being basically grounded. And also yes, I really miss traveling very much. I ended cancelling a trip to Bath, UK and Tallin, Estonia this year, but better say than sorry.

Anyways, hello, hi! And wear a mask!
