chitchat | Life lately

Hello, hola, bonjour, hallo, nín hǎo, ciao (I had no idea where to start with this post, as you can tell, oops). HI EVERYONE, this is a first for my blog and I, attempting a chit-chatty, generally less formal conversation, more personal type of post.

Welcome to my blog;

I'm so so so excited to be blogging alone, I'm having an absolute ball. Although, I haven't had much time to properly introduce myself to you all, so I thought it would be only right if I prepared  a few interesting (they're kinda dull) facts about me so you get more of an insight of my interests and what I'm all about and strive for in life. Calling all those nosy buggers out there...this ones for you.

1} Lets start off simple; My full name is Sophie Louise Powell. I'm from Birmingham, (West Midlands) and I'm 17 years of age, most boring, frustrating age ever.

2} I'm a qualified Level Two Beauty Therapist, currently studying my Level Three. I also won the Student of the year Award and I have no idea how, lol.

3}I have the biggest phobia of spiders, it results in me having an inhaler and looking into future counselling. 

4}My guilty pleasure is watching CBBC on the weekends and yes, that is a children's program channel. But, until I turn 18, I am still a child right?

5} My ultimate career goal is to become a successful media or general makeup artist. Although, imagine becoming a full time blogger? Wow, that would be amazing.

6} When I was younger I used to be a successful cross-country runner and often came third in races. (I can hardly run up the stairs now).

7} I've only ever been to one concert in my life, which was earlier this year. I went to see Olly Murs and Ella Eyre with my little sister and oh my goodness... It was AMAZING.

Blogging Solo;

I thought it would be rude not to address and clear up any misconceptions of why I'm now blogging alone. Although I'm not new to the blogging world, venturing off on my own was a huge scary step for myself to take. Although, I must make it clear that myself and Alexandra  (my blogging-duo partner) are not putting an end to 'OhMyValentino', although I feel it's important to occasionally set myself my own challenges and what better way than testing myself within blogging and going solo? It's obviously a scary concept  as I'm so used to having a shoulder to lean on when blogging gets on top of me but I enjoy pushing myself out of my comfort zone and taking a leap of faith. LETS DO THIS.

New job;

YES PEOPLE I FINALLY HAVE A NEW JOB! As I'm also studying, it is a part-time sales associate role, (although, not so 'part time' with the amount of hours they give me) at one of my favourite retailers, H&M. The interviewing process was super long and painful, I never thought I'd be able to compete with some of the fashionistas I was up against and as there was only one position going, I never thought I'd get it. I'm over the moon, as I always doubt my ability as my anxiety can sometimes get the better of me. GOODBYE POOR-NESS.

Hope you enjoyed this little 'Life Lately' post, I'm hoping to keep you all updated regularly so please let me know your thoughts.

Love Soph x
