Long Time No See....

Well Hello There...

Its been a very long time (slaps wrist) and I am so sorry! I have been totally wrapped up in my new job and new man and just didn't have a spare moment to blog. I would sit down get the blog up and just had no inspiration, fellow bloggers will understand that when the inspiration is lost its very hard to be creative.

Well, I am pleased to say that my creative juices have been flowing and that's mainly thanks to the lovely Sue from Love Makeup allowing me help her at this years UMAexpo. Low and behold seeing lots of creative people and of course the makeup I started to miss being so creative and all things that comes along with being a Makeup artist.

So, whats been happening I hear you cry well....

The New Job 

I have been at the new job for 9 months now and its amazing but, extremely intense. It has been great being back in the big wide world of work but, it has come with its struggles the main one being my stupid back. Taking my back out of the equation I no longer have to look at 4 walls and fight the government to acknowledge I have a disability which is such a huge weight off of my mind.

The New Man

Funny story after years of being on dating sites and going on failed dates I met him at Jury Service! Noooo he was not the one on trial haha. We have been together about 4 months now and had a few ups and downs mostly involving crazy ex's and people interfering but, things are getting back on track and its nice to finally be happy.

The Hair

Over the months it has gone from Red to Pink, Mink, Lavender, Purple, Blonde, Mint/Light Blue/Lavender (Think Unicorn), Platinum and finally back to Red. Lots and lots of hair dye, money and smelling of bleach but, I got to test the new Bleach of London range which is awesome! A more in depth review of the Bleach of London range will be posted soon.

Pic Monkey did something funky to my lips on the first image!

Tattoos

I got two new ones a sugar skull on my thigh and a pinup girl on my arm and I L.O.V.E them both. 

That's a snippet of whats been going on in Emma Land all very, very exciting :)

Ohhhhh and how could I forget I met You Me At Six!!!!!!!!

Over the next few weeks posts may be a bit all over the place whilst I try to get some sort of schedule in place so, please be patient I haven't vanished again.
