It has been a long 3 and a half weeks break from work and had some of the best memories in Hong Kong and Singapore. My last day of work was pretty manic; I had to finish at 5.30pm and leg it to the airport so I was on superwoman mode to get all of my work done and get my automated emails switched on to tell all of my clients and colleagues that I am gone until 2015! You may have seen quite a few snapshot posts already of my wonderful adventure in the Far East; main purpose was to be a great Granddaughter and spend more time with the Grannies and Granddad. Usually when you are on work mode, it’s difficult to keep up with blogging, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook…then again, “busy” is just a lame excuse. But with 3.5 weeks of free time in my hands, I was on it and gone Instagram crazy; capturing some amazing moments along the way! When I first started this blog, it was pretty much Beauty and Fashion oriented and somehow, for the last few months; I have been travelling quite a bit and explored more into food and general lifestyle. It is quite a big transition from Beauty Blogging to Beauty, Travel and Lifestyle. Currently, I am migrating my blog and hopefully soonish, I will have a new layout in place :D I have so many different categories I wish to share with you and despite my simple, clean layout I love so much…it’s definitely time for an upgrade. I am no coding geek so it’s great to have friends who knows how to do all of this stuff and help me migrate my site as well as ‘fix it up’…yes my blog is going under the knife!
Thinking back, I have no idea why I chose ‘Red Velvet London’ as my blog name. Originally, my blog name was called ‘So Tres Chic’ when it was just a simple wordress.com blog; but my sister brainwashed me into thinking that it’s a rubbish name and that I had to change it. I panicked, I couldn’t think of a name, I wanted my readers to know it’s a British blog…I loved red velvet cakes at the time…and somehow plugged it altogether as Red Velvet London. Couple years later, I am still Red Velvet London…ecstatic with what I have achieved as my side hobby; although…I wish I had spent a little more time coming up with an alternative blog name; but I guess it was rather amusing as to how I came about it.
2014 brought me a Journey of cameras from Canon 400d to 7D to 5D Mark II. Made some amazing blog friends along the way with super sweet private messages how they’ve enjoyed reading my blog (readers like you really inspire me to improve). I was once this lazy girl who saw blogging as some kind of boring chore to something I enjoy, am passionate about as a hobby where I can express pretty much anything and everything. I am able to express my creative side in photography as well as collaborations with luxury beauty brands, hotels, jewellery, fashion and many more to come. Thank you 2014 and everyone involved.
Hope you can follow me on Instagram, Facebook and/or Twitter. May xx
