HELLO - I'M EMILY!

Hi there everyone, thank you so much for visiting my blog, it means the world to me!

My name is Emily van der Berg, and I am currently 20 years old, living in Cape Town, South Africa, and studying Art Direction in my second year of college.

I am an all things beauty lover. I love experiencing new things, I've always taken to beauty things and I love trying out new products. 

I'm also someone who loves documenting my life and moments through photography, videos and writing. So essentially, this is basically my online journal, just maybe not SO personal! But I love writing in my journal, it helps clear and organise my stress and anxiety, it's very therapeutic.

I had a blog previously but it was very "under-developed" so I'm starting afresh. However, I do enjoy improving and progressing so this blog is a work in progress.

I have a YouTube channel called "That Emily Jane" where I film all sorts of videos; mainly beauty and life related. I purposefully haven't titled my blog "That Emily Jane" because I want it to be a separate corner of the internet for me to be my completely authentic self, and have a wider variety of topics. It's slightly simpler to portray things through writing - not that I'm not myself on my channel, trust me, I'm just as weird in real life too!

​

Okay, this is a MASSIVE introduction - I really hope you enjoy this blog and I hope you also get that warm fuzzy feeling when you're visiting, and that this is a place where you come to, when you want to relax and feel like you're catching up with an old friend!

I'd love to make some new friends wth similar interests as me, so you can contact me below and I'd love to chat with you!
