And She’s Back!
Well well, after nearly a year of absence, the Online Goddess has made an appearance. Where on earth have I been? And what is to become of the site?
A lot has happened over the last 12 months, in short I have moved out of my teeny little terraced house in the busy town, relocated to the gorgeous Suffolk countryside and am currently 7 months pregnant with our first baby – whew!
Unfortunately, the seborrheic dermatitis on my face still has yet to disappear, hence my reluctance to try (and thus review) any new skin care products. In fact, it has sadly spread to both cheeks from nose to ears now and has made me quite self-conscious about my appearance. The (potentially) good news is that I’m currently using a soap called ZNP Bar I’ve imported from the US which seems to be really helping. I’ve had brief improvements in the past, so I’m not going to get too excited until it’s made a long-term impact.
So, onto the question of what to do with this site. Well, I still get a lot of visitors checking out past reviews and I’d like them to stay available for the benefit of consumers. I still want to do product reviews, but I’m not going to be able to do ones for facial products at the current time.
This doesn’t stop me from trying out body care goodies though, and thank goodness as I do enjoy a bit of pampering now and then. Plus, with baby on the way I want to get myself acquainted with the whole new category of natural and organic stuff that’s available for little ones and mums.
I’ve already been using some delicious products during my pregnancy, so look out for reviews of those starting within the next couple of days (maybe I’ll even get the first one up this evening!). I may also double-up with a bit of antenatal and postnatal blogging instead of the usual ranting about my dreadful skin lol.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!! How exciting, so much can happen in a year :)
The reason I’ve popped back to your blog is because I’ve noticed on our webstats that we get quite a few vistors and new customers from your review so I wanted to write and say thank you!
I’d love to send you a little gift, perhaps a New Baby Balm (a version of Omni Balm we do for our new mummies if requested) and Plum Baby Oil (smells like marzipan, all natural scent of the virgin plum oil, delish!!) so please lmk your new addy if you haven’t got twenty million baby balms already, it would be my pleasure!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! It has been quite a long hiatus, and I definitely missed reading your posts, especially the reviews. Now that you’re back, I am looking forward to reading more of your entertaining and informative entries.
