Five Years

Five years ago today I decided to start this blog. After being an avid blog reader for a couple of years I decided I wanted to create my own space on the internet and share my life with anyone who was willing to read my thoughts. Over the past five years it has developed naturally from sharing snippets of my life, to personal style, my favourite music and films, beauty reviews and much more. 

I never imagined the opportunities I would have through blogging, trying new things, winning an award, attending amazing events and meeting the most wonderful people (too few in person!).

I cannot express in words the joy that blogging has brought me, I love it more with each passing year and I have no intention of stopping any time soon.

I hope you all have enjoyed coming here and reading my words and looking at my photographs over the years and hopefully getting to know me a little bit as I have with many of you. Thank you so much for all of your comments and support over the years and for taking the time to read my tiny little blog that I love so much.

  1. Congratulations, dear Emma! I have been with you for most of your five years and I cannot express in words the joy that our friendship has brought me. Over the years you have taken me on tours of faraway places that I will probably never see in person, majestic castles, scenic vistas, shops, restaurants and museums. I have seen you modeling smart and stylish outfits. I have read your reviews of the latest products and even heard your voice when you posted your videos. Other friends have come and gone and I miss them. Amber Blue Bird comes to mind. It is reassuring to know that you, my dear Irish friend, are still active and that you continue to set the highest standard for bloggers to follow.

    Congratulations once again, dear friend Emma. I urge you to share your gifts with us for another five years.
