Update, Guest Blog Spots and A Question...

Hello my lovelies!

I haven't written anything for a while now and I feel like I owe you an explanation.

Well basically Ant and I went on holiday in March, which was amazing by the way (we got engaged :D), and I've been insanely busy since. I haven't had a single free weekend to take photos or even record a couple of quick videos since we got back and it's only going to get worse over the coming weeks.

I thought I would be able to make my return to blog-o-sphere in May but sadly I'm going to be bogged down with studying and exam stuff for the vast majority of the month so I simply won't have time to do anything... That's where you guys come in...

You may, or may not, have seen my plea on Twitter the other day asking if there are any bloggers out there that would like to do a guest post on my blog. Basically all I'd want you to do is write a post on something beauty or fashion related and ping it over to me on an email complete with a little bio about yourself and your site or even Youtube channel :) I'm hoping to make it a weekly feature if I receive enough interest as I think it's a fantastic way to discover new blogs so please if you'd like to give it a shot drop me an email to jellyminx@googlemail.com and I'll get back to you as soon as I can :)

Now the last thing is, I'm going for a consultation for laser hair removal next weekend and I'd like to know all the questions you're dying to know the answers to so that I can ask them and report back!! Now I will say that this treatment is being given to me by a PR company, but, I really really really want to report back the stuff you actually want to read about the experience.

Thanks so much for being so awesomely understanding :) I'll be back soon with lots of super fun stuff I pinky promise :)
