Allow me to introduce myself...

Hello everyone!

And welcome to my blog and my very first blog post... Whoo!

Right then, I am Emily... I am currently nineteen years old, and turning twenty in exactly six days, fun times!

It has taken me an absolute age trying to set up and create this bleeming blog, and so this is what it's going to look like for the time being. I've tried to keep it plain and simple. It's a bit too pink for me, but it's the only look I've been happy with after working on a look for 10 000 years, so I can live with this haha.

I did a short introduction on my "About" tab, but I'll put a bit more juice into this one... here are some things about me:

  • I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. Well, technically in Kommetjie... but same thing, whatevs.

  • I still live here. In Cape Town. South Africa. Yep. But now I live with my dad in Muizenberg. So there's that.

  • I have a weird obsession (not creepy or anything, don't worry) with the United Kingdom... I have never been there. I will one day, and I will love it even more. I just think it looks so beautiful; the weather is awesome and I honestly just love the Brits because of their accents. Don't you think they speak so nicely? *sigh*

  • That brings me onto my next point; I LOVE rain and cold, overcast weather - IT'S SO COSY! You get to wrap up in layers, and be snug wherever you are, wear dark makeup, and basically be a portable duvet if you want. Plus everything just looks better when it rains... Except my hair, that's not fun.

  • I am going into my second year of varsity and I am studying a BA in Brands Communication... so, graphic design and art direction basically. And thanks to first year, I think I'm going down the graphic design path, art direction is hectic, so let's see where we end up.

  • I started this blog because I love makeup, beauty, fashion and chatting.

  • It should therefore come as no surprise that I ALSO have a YouTube channel, for all the above reasons, but I absolutely love the YouTube community, too. It's a part of my life that I don't think I could ever just leave, because it's so special. I love it and the creators on it.

  • I have two older sisters, and a tiny little baby half sister (who's the cutest child ever) and it's her first birthday in a month and two days.

  • I am also a twin with a boy. We are not identical... because he is a boy. But he's cool, and I'm older (by one minute, and trust, that counts a lot).

  • Okay, this is the 10th bullet, which I think is a good one to end on... I just don't know what else to say... um... I... am excited for my little piece of the interweb to grow and be awesome. What a great way to end. Go Emily. Well done.

Well, I've rambled on a lot for this first post (that's what I tend to do btw) so I'll say cheerio now.

Thanks very much for taking the time to read this, and I hope you're having a lovely day or evening or whatever.

Much love, Em x

Me, my eldest sister, Carmen, my second eldest sister, Nicole, and my dad and mom.
