Wow, it's been a while...

I must admit I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted over here on The Honest Type. As I type, I can't help but feel a bit embarrassed that it's taken me so long to acknowledge that on here.

Because in all honestly, so much of my life has changed since I last spoke with you. And I mean, in it's entirety.

A couple months after, my boyfriend became my fiancee while on a  trip to Paris, and the year later in August 2017 he became my husband. I've moved city, changed job twice into a totally different career sector, and at the end of 2019 we welcomed home our fur-baby - a Ragdoll kitten called Bluebell.

(How could I resist showing you some wedding pics and of course - my Maggie Sottero dress!)

Now, that's a lot of life change packed into three sentences. But it's also lovely to zoom out on life from where it is right now, and the unprecedented times we also find ourselves in, and take time to reflect and look-back on all the amazing things that have happened. It's something we rarely do, but should take the time to just appreciate where we are in life, and the things - planned and unplanned - which led us right to this place.

So why after so many years have passed, am I writing to you again? Well, I've really missed it. Over the past year or so I've been really craving again for that creative outlet, something I took pride in over this space I'd created here on The Honest Type. A place to talk about the things I was loving at the time, and my is it a time-warp looking back on some of that a few years on(!) and express my creative side. I've missed that so much, I've decided it was time to pick up my digital pen again and continue something that I loved doing.

But, as I'm in a new phase of life - I felt it called for a new site, too. So, I'd love for you to join me over on my new self-titled blog, Rachel Thomson. I've written some new posts there, which I think you'd enjoy. From the best Beauty Pie lipsticks, to bringing my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Ghost palette into Spring and my review of Sephora's metallic eyeshadow inspiration for the upcoming summer

You can expect a more grown up version of what you enjoyed reading here, fashion, beauty, travel and hopefully some interiors too now that we have our very own place to style, decorate and overall enjoy.

Here's a visual taster of what to expect...

I hope that you'll join me over on my all new blog, and follow me across on Bloglovin.
