Happy tidings and all that jazz...

Hello to all who have stumbled across my blog!

I would like to take a moment just to introduce it and myself. I'm Hannah and I'm 22 years of age. Most of my friends have graduated, or are close to graduating, university and the other lot are already forging their prospective careers in a 9-5 office. The point is, they all seem blissfully settled in a destination or on the road to realising their dreams. I, however, are not like my friends.

Much to the frustration of my parents I am what they call a 'free spirit'. I jump from job to college, college to job, another job, back to college again. Phew, having itchy feet is exhausting! I currently work as a Christmas Temp at Boots, I have a diploma in art and design, I have once been a dental nurse. Why oh why have I not been content with any of these occupations?

The answer is: because I'm not looking for contentment, I'm looking for something special. I am not the girl who works as a Christmas Temp, I am the girl who used to aspire to be a pilot. I am the girl who over achieved at school. I am also the girl who got lazy after I got a boyfriend :s

So, here I am trying to find my vocation in life. The job that isnt just a job, but a lifestyle. So what will this incredible career move be?

Well, I have known from an early age that I wanted to write. I didn't want to be a tabloid journalist or an author, but I wanted to write about my own experiences. Blogging is the perfect medium for that. But I want to make a living out of it right? Therefore my blog would need to attract enough followers to be able to sell ad space and give me a better chance of my work being published in magazines or newspapers.

I thought about all the things I was interested in and could blog about: fashion, music, illustration, beauty, cooking, fitness, literature. All things that I felt were either too saturated by the blogging community or I wasn't devoted enough to them. Plus, I didn't want to limit myself to one genre. It occured to me that I could combine my interest in food, fitness, beauty and a whole series other categories in a health and well-being blog.

Freelance Health Writer. This is to be my new job title, my 'about me'. But I can't be taken seriously as a health writer unless I'm a practicing health professional? Well, this is where I have decided to fulfill another dream of mine: to become a fully qualified personal trainer. That way I can sustain a living, combine my customer service know-how with my love of all things diet and fitness, AND gain knowledge and tips to share with you lot as a health writer. Decision made.

Now I just have to actually qualify!

Until then, expect posts on my quest to personal trainer/health writer'dom, on diet, (amateur) fitness, recipes, beauty, personal projects and haranguings of other natures.

Thankyou for taking the time to read

Peace Out x
