I'm Back...

Hello lovelies.

It's been quite some time since I've felt able to write anything that didn't sound sad and pathetic due to what has been going on in my life this year, however I have actually started to feel like I'm ready to come back - or at least ease myself back into writing/blogging as I have missed it (and you guys) so, so much.

To just give a very short version of why I have been away for so long, as I don't want to get too deep about it on here, my fiancé of over 9 years (Mr Beauty Scoop) decided that whilst we were trying for a baby, he'd actually quite like to have an affair with somebody at work for a few weeks in his lunch half hour, in the back of my car. Anyway, I tried to save the relationship but he decided to carry on going behind my back and lying to me... and then left me anyway. Some other stuff went on, but I don't feel able to go into that as I'm not over that bit yet, but obviously my life has been turned upside down, inside out and god knows whatever else.

I'm getting through it though, I've started living a life again, going out with friends old and new and am actually finding some happiness in my new situation. Another silver lining in this is that I've lost a LOT of weight (down to a size 12 from a size 16 back in December/January), and have now joined a gym to tone up... just look at the top image, I have a waist now (although that was before I started going to the gym) and the image below, I'm getting cheekbones again (again, same night before I started going to the gym) haha.

I've had some really lovely emails from some of you over the time I've been away, that I just haven't felt able to reply to without bursting into tears or whatever; but this will be one of the first tasks on my 'to do' list, along with the 3,000+ other emails that need dealing with. Apologies to those waiting for replies, my sad and pathetic sounding writing has also applied to the email side of things... so I just took myself away completely, in the hope it would get me back sooner. :-)

Thanks for sticking around, I really appreciate it - onwards and upwards. xxxx
