An introduction...

Please bear with me, I'm a technophobe with a short attention span.  This blog is likely to be one of those things I start with the best of intentions, and then quickly tire of.  Like the times I thought I'd be a portrait artist (I gave up after one exhibition and, like, no more than 10 commissions), or a jewellery designer (still ongoing, yet to make any money as I have a habit of giving away everything I make).

Other things that are likely to distract me include...
• the pub.  I like the pub.
• cat videos on YouTube.  If I'm on the internet, I'm very likely to watching cat videos.  This will make an online writing project very tricky.
• my actual job.  I am the Deputy Beauty Editor of Bella magazine.
• my housemates.  Mostly their boxset of Keeping Up Appearances DVDs, which - for some reason - I can't stop watching.
• my boyfriend.  Boyfriends take up a LOT of time.

If I can get my shit together for long enough to actually post stuff, I hope for this to be informative and inspiring for anyone interested in fashion and (well, mostly) beauty news.  

From a personal perspective, I'm hoping to use it to get up to speed with online journalism and all my tweety/bloggy/techno-savvy peers...


(If you've ever visited the Bella website, you'll understand why I need do my own thing)
