Reflections and the future.

I'm back! And with a bit of a rambly post. 

Now I've been pretty much silent on SweetPea for the past month or so, as you've probably noticed. That's not because I've been too busy or anything like that, it's because I wanted a bit of time to rethink what this blog is about. 

When I started SweetPea over a year ago (wow?!), I said to myself that I'm not going to fall into the same category as what every other 20-something female blogger does, being a beauty blogger. Don't get me wrong, beauty is a HUGE part of my life but it's not what I want this blog to be about. I don't want someone to come onto my blog, read my posts and think wow, I've read a review on this product time and time again. I slowly but surely fell into the trap of doing this, and I just didn't want it to happen. I've taken a bit of time to think about what content I want on this blog, as it still remains the same as when I originally created this blog. I want it to be about anything, whether that be the new collar I buy my cat, a bunch of flowers I buy, anything. I know they wont be interesting, but it'll be my post to write, my post to publish and your post to read. I don't want to write a review on the Urban Decay Naked pallet, because every blog I read seems to have done one and to be honest, where's the fun in trying to create a blog if it's just going to be identical to the next blog? 

I've had a lot of time to think about myself, my future and also other things whilst I've been away, which means I've put myself into a new frame of mind. I've spent the last week or so in my favourite place (Tenby, Wales) and I have just really chilled out. I got myself into a horrible routine of getting up, going to work, coming home, having dinner, going to bed. Over the last month or so, I've really not spoken to my partner or even spent any quality time with him and in turn, our relationship has hit that ever so inevitable "comfortable" stage. Blah. I've also been in and out of hospital with my stomach - but I'll save that for another post. I've really started neglecting the things that mean the most to me. And that's not who I am. 

So, before I go on and on rambling about stuff that isn't irrelevant, I just wanted to post this because I want you all to know how important this blog is to me as it's my space to do whatever I want. I want to start posting different things and that starts today! 

For those of you who are reading this, thank you for sticking by me.
