Wait for me.
Hello Blogger, let me introduce myself - not as a man of wealth and taste - but as a nervous blogger sticking her toe back in the water for a second time and hoping for more success.
As in my about me, I flirted briefly with blogging earlier in the year as xunderscoreclaree which, you'll now see if you click on the link, has been all but abandoned. Rather than pick up where I left off I decided to start anew. Firstly because I'm new, or my name is at least. In July this year I brushed off my name of 22 years and 7 months and became a Mrs - something which I was more than excited to do, not just for the name obviously! More importantly, I don't think my blog accurately represented me. It represented what I wanted to be and who I wanted to fit in with - namely the beauty blogging community.
The community is well established and understandably has its hierarchy -what doesn't? - but they got there because they deserve to be there. They got their 1000's of followers through merit, not begging on other people's blogs for followers or for doing bloghops with a million rules of who you have to follow.
I'm 23 years old. I work, I go to college and I'm addicted to twitter. On top of this I have a house, car and bills to worry about as well as maintaining a marriage - I can't commit 24 hours a day to makeup. I can't spend £100's in MAC without blinking (Oh I wish I could) but that's not real life for me. My makeup collection is small, I replace things when they run out. It terrifies me when I see bloggers with more makeup in their blogsale than I own - but that's how it is at the moment, and that's what this blog will reflect.
I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Oh, and for the record, If I Should Fall Behind was our first dance at our wedding. And I will fall behind, I won't blog everyday and I probably won't be "on top" of fashion but if I do - wait for me.
