Back in 2012 whilst still at university, I started off A Little Boat Sailing, what is now known as The July Rose. Fast forward on five years and the rest is pretty much history. In 2013 I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Geography which I thoroughly enjoyed, however, I found that my degree lacked creativity. I think this is where the need for something such as my blog stemmed from and is a reason as to why I have carried it on when so often many hobbies have fallen by the wayside. Over recent years, I have been studying the Legal Practice Course part-time whilst working and more recently, in 2019 I qualified as a Solicitor.
Creating an online presence to write, share my photography skills (or lack of) and to connect with other like-minded people was probably one of the best decisions I ever made.
In truth, in the last five years, my blog has grown to become a rather big part of my life. It is incredibly important to me and I would like to think that in that time frame I have kept my integrity, honesty and have been true to my principles throughout. Whilst the nature of my blog has changed from primarily being a beauty blog (change is of course only natural over time), I would like to clarify that all featured products, experiences and content is 100% honest and genuine, whether they have been gifted or not.
