How I ended up here

I first created an amateur blog back in 2015, with all the best intentions I played the game wrong name of blog was pretty peach blossom.

I will admit it was a hot mess I thought if I researched and found good skincare products to share with fellow skincare enthusiast, more people would eventually stumble upon my write ups and reviews, share with friends from there the family would grow.

How naive was I? by the way I wasted so much time taking pictures trying to do everything myself, tasks I had no business attempting,  let alone the skill to even execute.

However; there is a silver lining,  without this big of a mess half the things I know now would still be alien to me.

I wasted a lot of time and money so that I could have a great story and knowledge  to share be it unintentionally. 

In the mean time I was working as a Diagnostic Radiographer for a private health company, I loved my career but hated my job, do you even want me to get into it.

I was underpaid in comparison to my counter parts some of whom I trained when they came to the company. I didn't see any route for progression and I found the environment toxic at times.

If you know me you know I am this goofy bundle of joy it takes a lot to upset me or get me talking negatively about a person. 

But boy had I arrived in all my negativity glory, I even developed anxiety that I had never had before. Now that's saying something I worked for the NHS a high pressure environment if there was a time to develop a nervous disposition that would have been it.

Now I am not telling you all this so as to bash anyone or for a pity party.

I am trying to get to the point where I had to hit rock bottom that forced me to take action that would turn my life around, if only to bring some sort of joy, peace of mind and contentment into my life.

My home life has been always comfortable outside of the odd disagreement with the husband and trying to raise teenagers.

However, I quickly disrupted that, I  became a nightmare to live with always complaining about work at every opportunity finding people who would wallow in my misery for hours on the phone "misery does love company  I can attest to that ".

my creativity was stifled  i was not a happy person. 

Started a business while I was still in cooperate Britain and I got heavily reprimanded, went through what was easily the worst three months of my life.
