A Quick Hello.

As you can likely see from this being the first post, Oyster and Blush is but half formed and not quite ready to go, but I wanted to get my introduction post up as soon as possible, and I'll crack on with the rest of it tomorrow when I'm slightly more awake! To begin with, I'll introduce myself (although I'll be adding an "about me" page at some point to offer something more stationary). My name is Charlotte, I'm 21 and from the South East of England. Oyster and Blush will predominantly be a beauty blog, with some lifestyle and hobby posts thrown in.

I've blogged before, most recently over on Make Up Natters, a blog I made around a year ago to have a place to rant about my obsession with all things makeup related. Since then, though, I've found I've outgrown Make Up Natters a little - I kind of pigeon-holed myself with the name of the blog, I haven't been happy with the content I'd been posting for quite a long time and felt that the time had long passed where I could make MUN something I was truly proud of, although I only arrived at that conclusion today after thinking about it for a long time. I'm hoping that Oyster and Blush can be what Make Up Natters never quite managed for me, something I can be proud to show off to family and friends, and a place that people who stumble over here looking for something will want to stay and be a part of.

So, what can you expect from Oyster and Blush in terms of content?
As I said, this will predominantly be a beauty blog, as that's one of my most prominent interests and passions, however I'd like to post some lifestyle features once in a while, and during the month of November when NaNoWriMo hits, I'll likely be posting things to do with my writing also - but since I find I don't have a whole lot of time to do much writing these days, it is probably only going to be November I'll be posting about that.
I've tried blogging without a schedule, and I've tried every-day blogging, neither of which are really for me. So, the sort of schedule I'm going to be going for with this is Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday posts. This week will likely be a bit shaky, what with still having to set everything up (I also want to find a dedicated photography spot so I can set it up nicely and ensure my picture quality is consistent, that might take a while!), but I'm hoping from next week each of those days will have a post up and that post will be something worth reading. I'm not going to have a set theme for each of the days, it'll just be an as it comes sort of thing!

So, that's myself and Oyster and Blush introduced. I will put together a proper "about me" page and set up my social networking links and all that malarkey, probably tomorrow morning, but I have work in the morning and these eyes need to shut!
