Taking a bloggie break


I've decided to take the month of April off away from the blog.

I have been blogging for 3.5yrs now and have never taken a bloggie break. Even when on holidays or when I had a baby I've still had drafts lined up for publishing in my absence. I love to blog and I love interacting with all my wonderful readers. But lately things have been getting a bit hectic for me in my personal and professional life and I feel like I'm not giving my blog the attention it deserves.

Makeup and Macaroons is a hobby blog, I have a job in a completely different field 4 days a week. And lets not forget my toddler son who is verrrrry active and keeps me on my toes all the time. So right now it's getting a bit difficult to juggle it all. And yes, I know there are wonder women out there that can juggle 4 kids under 4, a blog, and compete in fitness competitions but that's not me (Freckled Fox, I'm looking at YOU!). I don't want to feel like blogging is a chore, so taking some time away from the blog will do me good I think.

I do want to thank you all for your continued support throughout these last few years, and a warm welcome to all my new readers. I'll be back again in May 2014 but in the meantime you can keep in touch with me via my Instagram (@lilitsblog).

  3. Bloggie Breaks are great! You'll come back fresh and inspired and feeling like you want to post 100 posts in 1 week! I know because I took quite a few breaks, short, long and random. For a long time I felt like taking a break is a big no-no. now it's opposite - I highly recommend it to every blogger. I don't know how actually you can do it - almost full time job, kid and blog. And your blog is a great qulity blog, with great photos and useful advice... Don't know how you manage to do it all. It's so intense!
