Hello Blogger.. Can We Be Friends Again?

I've changed my room up a lot since my last posts! Interior posts coming soon!

Looking out over Skye a couple of weeks ago

Well.. I think this is the 3rd time I've wrote a comeback blog post..I promise I am going to get better at this again. My blog and I have had a bit of a dysfunctional relationship over the last couple years.. we try to commit but it never works out the way we want it to. But this time I want to be back for good. So I am going to start off fresh and have a new blog style and see how it goes from there. I want to post more lifestyle content as I find myself exploring a lot more these days and although I update my Instagram virtually every day it's just not the same as documenting a day out in a blog post. I want to get back into reviewing products too, I have a mental list of things I want to write about that I think you will enjoy as much as I am! I want to post some gaming reviews too which is something I wanted to do in the past but didn't think it would suit everyone's taste but I am now in the mind set of "this is my blog and I will post the things I enjoy" regardless if it only gets 5 views. Lets' see how this time pans out...

Life Update Again.. | One Awful Year Later...I'm Back

Hey! I am heeeeere! 

I'm going to give my blog some attention again, I feel like my head is slowly coming back around to "normal" and I feel like I can do this again. Blogging should not feel like a chore you should want to do it so that's why I'm back, I want to do this again! 

As some of you may know last year was the worst yet for me, I sadly lost my big cousin/best friend Kelly to skin cancer which became terminal last September and it has affected me really badly. I am still in shock and I can't believe it is coming up to a year since she passed away but I know she would want me to get back on here and back on track with my life and stop being so down. So I have lots of things, beauty and miscellaneous aside to review, I have loads of makeup ideas to upload and I am going to be travelling about a lot more so I will try and incorporate all that into my posts as much as I can! I can't wait to see what happens from here, I hope you guys are well. You can keep up to date with me if you fancy through Instagram which I use all the time @magickruby :) x

Here's my favourite picture of me and my beautiful cousin Kelly <3..

Life Update: Im Back! | Domestic Abuse | ♥ New Beginnings ♥

Hello! I feel so strange opening my laptop again and typing on here.. it has been too long! I finally have some motivation to start blogging again. The last time I posted on here was in November last year, the reason I have had such a long break from blogging was because I was in a bit of a mess and I needed to make some serious changes to my life.

I was "stuck" in a horrible, both mentally and physically abusive relationship. This relationship had been terrible since day one, I was in it for 4 years, since I was 15. I tried to convince myself it would be okay and it would sort itself out, I was wrong. Things got really bad around May last year, I was so exhausted and fed up. I was having constant battles in my head, mind games, blackmail and lies were just a few of the horrible, mentally draining things I was dealing with on a daily basis from my ex. I had no life whatsoever, I lost contact with so many friends because I wasn't allowed friends, I was constantly being judged wherever I went, I was being cheated on and lied to all the time, I was constantly "looking after" an unemployed, depressed, drunk boyfriend who never failed to disappoint me.

Chit Chat - Life Recently ♥

Hello! I hope you are all doing well. I haven't written a blog post in a few weeks, ahh! I feel like I've been really busy recently but compared to some people I am pretty sure I've had it easy! I felt like typing up a random chatty post today, so I hope you don't mind. I like reading these posts because I like learning more about the people I follow compared to just reading about beauty and fashion posts all the time and not really getting to know them, is it just me who thinks like that?..

Firstly, I have been working loads more than I normally do. I am only contracted to 12 hours a week but I have only ever done a 12 hour week once, which is great because I enjoy my job and its extra money if I do over 12 hours! I had a 42 hour week a couple of weeks ago, which was great, however, I do lose track of my blog, Instagram & Twitter because I always think about going to work and when I come home from work, I always seem to have something else to do instead! But I will hopefully have more time on my hands soon to get more frequent posts up!

I went away to Glasgow for the day with James, it's safe to say that he will never go to Glasgow with me again if I spend the same amount of time in Primark as I did.. 2 and a half hours to be exact, oops! I knew I had spent a lot of money when the lady who served me asked, "So how much do you think you've spent today?.." my reply was obviously going to be "I can't even imagine" I spent £200 but I got loads for it! Plenty tartan print items, knitted jumpers, jackets, boots and loads more! I had a lovely day but I was very tired by the end of it.

The most exciting thing that is happening at the moment is I am going to be moving into a new & much bigger room in my house, so I am picking all new furniture, flooring, & decor, it's so exciting and I can't wait for it to be finished! Once it is all done, I will have new and prettier backgrounds to take blogpost pictures in, which I find exciting!

I hope I haven't bored you too much with this post, but I thought some of you would like to know where I have been recently! I have a few blogposts coming up shortly so keep your eyes peeled for them :)!
