Hello everyone! REESEATOMIC.COM.AU is back – bigger and better than EVER!
So, where exactly have I been the last couple of months? Taking some much needed time off from the world wide web. While I hadn’t exactly given up social media entirely, my presence on it was minimal.
It had all gotten too much for me at one stage and I really struggled to be both myself and the online persona, REESE ATOMIC. I wasn’t getting enough sleep at night and I struggled with the balance constantly (being a shift worker didn’t help, either.) I wasn’t being as social as I was six months ago and being terrible at planning, which I used to pride myself in.
It was then I decided to just step back and recharge and start rebuilding from life’s foundations.
Giving myself that time out was the best thing I did. I’m much happier, more focused, driven and passionate than I was two months ago. I’ve been able to manage my time a lot better, so I’m present where I’m meant to be 100 per cent of the time. I’ve started up new routines with friends and family; I see my dad, brother, sister and grandparents for Sunday lunch and then drive to my mother’s house afterwards for dinner. I see my friends regularly for Vegan food, coffee, high tea and beach hangs. Also making time to see The Man whenever our rosters allow it.
With this comeback I’ve changed a few things on the blog: I have a new central email address that everyone can reach me on [hello-at-reeseatomic.com.au] I’ve moved regular posts around and going to be introducing new ones. AND, the most exciting part is that I’m working on REESE ATOMIC v3.0. So, a brand new spankin’ layout will be gracing the screens soon!
Much thanks goes to my beautiful friends, both online and offline. Thank you to Kimmi for your worldly advice and Chelsea for just always having my back and Rach for keeping my secret for so long and just being a beautiful, wonderful friend. And to everyone who sent me tweets, emails and texts showing your support. It’s those wonderful kind words that has kept me going and given me passion to do what I love to do. So, THANK YOU!
If you don’t follow me on Twitter or Instagram, here is what you’ve missed out the past couple of months… (WARNING: Image heavy.)
Ate this… and it was delicious!
Enjoyed the little things
Made friends with this guy
Came to work to this…
…and given this by two paramedics
Spent time in a hotel
As well as pool side
Miss Hamlin had a bath
The lion fell in love with the Lamb
Thought Darling Harbour was being an absolute darling on IMATS weekend
Made a friend down Bondi Beach
…And in Paddington
…AND in Clovelly
Met the BEST Messina combo EVER – Pavlova and 1984
Converted to the darkside
Discovered this object at work
Spent lots of nights doing this…
…And waking up like this…
…And started a photo series on my Instagram of Jacarandas
