Hey Y'all!
How has everybody been doing?? I hope everybody has been doing well lately.
Oooowweeee! It has been absolute ages since I've updated the blog and for that, I sincerely apologize. Things have been completely manic for me the past couple months with school, job hunting, being homesick and illnesses.
I have been doing readings and assignments for school after work which have left no time to write decent reviews or posts. The last thing I want is to give you all a slap dash job of something I threw together in five minutes because that is all I could spare. I prefer to be able to sit and write out a decent post for you all. With school assignments and trying to finish up everything in time, it has been tough - to say the least. I am happy to say that I am almost finished so it has all been worth it.
On the job front, my current job is coming to an end and I have been putting my feet to the pavement and applying like a mad woman for employment within my field. It is quite difficult being in a country other than your home country and looking for work. The rules are different and if you do not learn them prior to job hunting, it can seriously impair your chances of gaining employment. I've been jumping through hoops and putting myself out there and applying to every job I have come across that is within my field of study. Rejections were to be expected but they still bruised my ego a bit. Finally, landed a few agencies so I am hoping to obtain a good position through one of those that will become permanent. *fingers crossed*
Other than job hunting, I have been extremely homesick. I have not set foot on Canadian soil since I moved to the UK and it is taking its toll now. I miss my family and my best friends. It's been quite difficult to make new friends while here because the people I have been encountering have not been all that warm and/or sociable. It's different from back home. It may also have to do with my current job and not going out enough on my part. So, here's hoping that things will change after I get back.

I have also been sick off and on. I swear this country is kicking my ass and throwing every illness known to man my way. I have been in and out of the GP's office more times than I care to admit and have had my fair share of medication. Right now, I am better and I better stay this way. I do not think I can handle another illness before I head home. I would really like to enjoy my holiday at home.
Well, there you have it. I have been around just super busy. I have been neglectful of my poor blog which is a huge no-no. I do however, have products I would like to review that I have been accumulating. So I will have topics for you all. I will also have more hair posts to share as well as lifestyle changes.
Until then, I shall bid you all adieu.
