Why I Took A Blogging Break

Although my recent resolutions post stated I'd try to continue blogging once a week, recently I've been very relaxed on the blogging front, and I'm not going to lie, but January has been so hectic that something had to give. So, I thought I'd write a post to explain why I've been MIA, a quick apology to the brands who I'm in the process of working with (posts will be up in due course, I promise!) and to say that I'm back!

As many of you know, I am currently studying towards my Marketing masters, full time, whilst also working in an office. Just before Christmas, unfortunately, something happened at my work which meant that I had to take on a lot more hours and tasks than I was previously. Plus, Christmas is a time when you meet up with literally EVERYONE, all your friends and family and so it was a super hectic time.

I realised I was in trouble when I had 4 essays and 2 exams to do whilst working full time and trying to maintain a social life, so as I said, something had to give and unfortunately, both my blogging and social media activity took a backseat.

What I learnt from this however, is that I definitely need to learn how to prioritise so I can keep up with all my commitments. I never thought I was disorganised before, but having now gone through this experience I'm also resolving to be more organised! I also learnt that sometimes it's nice to take a social media break and just concentrate on offline relationships and actually meet up with friends and family!

So completing my exams and assignments, going back to part-time at work and after a long (well-needed!) hibernation/ friends marathon I'm back!

Has anyone taken a blogging break? How did you deal with it?
