Natiee blog's will live on!

Hello, my lovelies!

As many of you know thanks to my previous post, I have indeed moved to Egypt for the next two years to pursue and test out a career in teaching. It's been on my career thought list for a while, but I decided to give it a shot and so far it's going well, I have a few things I know I need to do to improve, but I know I can do it 100%.
In any event, I thought for a small period of time this would mean I would have to stop my beauty blog, which made me feel quite sad because I really do enjoy testing out products and writing my experiences with them, doing the research and learning just what is good for the human skin, body and mind, how different makeup brands use different ingredients and which of them really benefits us etc.
I thought this may be challenging to do in Egypt, because I didn't know what makeup would be available, I was uncertain of finance etc. and being vegetarian with my products makes it all the more challenging, it was challenging in Britain and I only just found my feet with it.
After some research I am pleased to say, I am not going anywhere! I will be continuing my beauty blog, with a few extra adventures and perks in the mix. Next month, I do need to purchase goodies for my apartment, however with the following months pay I will be purchasing some beauty goods and review them all for you shortly.
I hope you are all keeping well and I look forward to blogging some beauties with you soon,
TaTa for now!

Security.

As you know I haven't written much online due to moving to Egypt, but I have been writing in my journal for myself. I want to share with you a piece that I've written, since living in Egypt I have found my confidence growing a lot, myself growing a lot and my anxiety shrinking a lot. So I want to share with you a short piece of "poetry" if you wish to call it that, called "Security." 

Security does not come from a place.
It does not live, eat, sleep or breath in the same home
you live, eat, sleep or breath.
It does not live behind locked doors, closed windows
or metaphorical walls we tell ourselves we hide behind.

Security does not come from a person.
It does not come from the arms of the man or woman
that holds you, does not come from your mother holding your hand.
It does not live in your friend, your neighbour
or that soul mate you're so eager to find.

Security comes from belief, comes from you.
It comes from knowing in the darkest of times
there will come a blinding dawn.
It comes from knowing that the arms around you
will stay with you because you're worthy of love.

It comes from lonely dinners that feel
overcrowded, from long walks with the wind holding your hand,
from nights of spreading on your double bed
and enjoying every minute of solitude.
Security comes from yourself and yourself,
alone.

I have moved to Egypt!

Hello my Mad Natters!

Hope you have been keeping well, I apologise for the lack of posts but due to an amazing job opportunity, I have moved to Egypt.
Writing reviews for beauty products around this area is fairly tough, my internet isn't always working, makeup and skincare products are very expensive but the most heartbreaking news of all is, THERE IS NO LUSH COSMETICS! (Luckily I stocked up before I left)
BUT I am however having a fantastic time, I am enjoying my new career as a Primary school Teacher, I have met some truly fantastic people and I look forward to sharing all these experiences with you soon.
Awaiting my first pay slip then I'll show you all the beautiful apartment, locations etc.
Right now, I have some marking to do so TaTa for now my lovelies!
