My Current Thoughts on the Blogging World

Let's all be extremely honest, I hardly ever post anymore, and you know what?! It's kind of annoying. Because when I started blogging 2 years ago it gave me so much excitement. And now I don't even know what to blog about. I absolutely love taking pictures it's my by far my favourite part of making a blog post, and I think now, I tend to just post on Instagram because photography is more my thing.

The other day a girl went to me 'I don't even get why people blog, it's so pointless' she also asked me why I blogged, and at the time I was like um. And annoyingly I knew the answer but I didn't say anything. So now I'm going to say it, I initially set up my blog because I was studying theatrical makeup at university and obviously to build up my kit I would then need to buy products and I thought people could really benefit from knowing a little more about these products, so Ohhsorosie was born. But now, working full time I don't really do makeup anymore, and let's be honest no average girl needs 6 highlights in her makeup bag. I just thought it's a kind of an expensive throw away industry, honestly I have so many lipsticks which I wear and love but I definitely know are past their sell by date. I also hate every single blogger pushing post after post on Twitter (I'm totally guilty of this too). But I also feel like I've grown out of review after review, although I still do love talking about my beauty collection on YouTube... Maybe I think more of my character comes across on YouTube? I don't know.

And now I'm at a point where I still really want to blog but I just don't know what about, I'm the kind of girl who can't blog about coffee because she doesn't like coffee. I adore fashion but let's be honest if you're not buying the lastest drop from missguided it's almost like 'do you even fashion blog though'. 

I've thought about dabbling in lifestyle, but what can a girl say when she works in retail and chows the chocolate on her break instead of channeling her inner peace over a chia tea. 

I guess I'm on a bit of a trip to discover what I love, and also build up the courage to take a million pictures of my food with out other diners being like wtf is that girl doing?!

I think perhaps I need to put a plan in place on what I want to blog about and a time span on what it is I want to achieve.

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

I was literally half way through doing my 'What I got for Christmas' when my best nine for Instagram was ready, once uploaded I was like ah isn't that nice my top liked pictures of 2015. Then I thought, I'm guna talk you through these pictures, cuz why the hell not?! 2015 bestnine  Top Left: These sandals I bought in an attempt to cheer myself up after a bit of an argument with my boyfriend, they were in the sale which made me happy.

And finally got my hands on velvet teddy. Top Right: Who'd have thought that my boyfriend would have such good baking skills that  his cake got in to my top nine?!
