Hello!
When this blog first started two years ago, the day I got home after my last GCSE exam, I did not ever think I'd be writing this post. Heck, it wasn't until this summer that I really thought it may be time. Don't get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this incredible blogging community. We have created a place on the internet where a bunch of people with a common interest can come together, from the comfort of their own homes to be in an environment where there is no judgement. Here we can all just be friends, support each other and be happy.
After that little ramble about only some of the many incredible benefits of being part of this lovely community, it does sound kind of stupid to even be thinking of leaving. Yet, the time has come for me to step away from the blog, as I don't believe I will have enough time to truly give it my all (with uni starting in a few weeks). I will, of course, still be present on social media (i.e. Twitter).
BerryBloomXO has been an incredibly fun project to work on, becoming committed to post a few times a week, and having wonderful opportunities like attending events, working with brands, interacting with people and reading such lovely comments are things that I will always remember. I hope you have enjoyed all that BBXO has had to offer.
Thank you for making my time as a blogger incredibly rewarding (we surpassed 100,000 views last month!), fun, and a great experience. Who knows? Maybe I won't be able to stay away for too long - haha! Either way, just remember I am beyond grateful of your support throughout this journey.
Farewell.

Versatile Blogger Award : TAG
Hello!
Another Friday has come and almost gone, and another weekend is upon us. This past week I was tagged by the beautiful Jessica from asocalledbeautyblog.com to do this tag. Being called 'the Versatile Blogger Award', I initially had no idea what it'd be about, but have since seen a few of these floating around the blog-o-sphere.
The basic rules of the tag, word to word from Jessica's description:
- Thank the person who gave you this award, and leave a link to their blog
- Tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
- Select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
Well, bullet point number one can be ticked off!
As for point number two:
7 Things About Myself
1. I have been thinking about branching out into the YouTube world.. maybe one day?
2. I watch a lot of TV shows but really miss Suits!
4. I like wearing mens shirts/clothing to lounge around in... they're the comfiest!
5. Furry/Fluffy things are my favourite (furry socks, slippers, coats.. the lot!)
6. I'm a total little girl at heart and love bows, pink stuff and am pretty cheesy!
7. I have a HUGE project being released soon, which you guys will be the first to know about!

New Year, New... Instagram Account?
Hello!
You know what they say: New Year, New Life, New Clothes, New Makeup, New Mindset... New You.
Well, I finally jumped on the Instagram bandwagon and therefore have a New Instagram. With a mere few photos on there, it's enough to say I have a lot to learn. The filters are going to take a while to get the hang of, and lets hope posting regularly won't be too much of a challenge!
To keep things simple, the username is: berrybloomxo
So, what's one New thing you've done in 2015, & are you an Instagram person?

Manicure Monday: Mint Sparkles
Hello!
 |
| "you've basically seen everything before - yet this time, it's completely different." |
If you were ANYWHERE in the last few weeks, you would have read this. If you read that, you would recognise something on here today. You may recognise another something if you saw this post and hence meaning you've basically seen everything before - yet this time, it's completely different.
 |
| "can we agree that the overall finish is pretty?" |
Well, after all that, can we agree that the overall finish is pretty? At first, the mint shade, called Kiwi, was thought to be uber lovely by itself as a perfect summer shade but when choosing a colour to go with my outfit I wore to a wedding last week (can you tell with the henna tattoo?!?!), this one was a perfect match and to make it more wedding-y, I added some sparkle!
Overall, that's my mani Monday - what's yours?

Get to Know Me Tag!
Hello!
I hope you're having a fabulous Wednesday! I cannot believe it is the last day of April! This year has been going by at crazy fast speed!
Actually, last week Paula from thirteenthoughts.com tagged me to do this tag!
Paula is so gorgeous and her blog is stunning - I love reading about her life, her fashion find and everything else! I'm sure you'll love her blog as much as I do!!
1. Are you named after someone?
Nope. I am the only girl from my first cousins on my Dad's side, and also the youngest - so basically everyone in my family (more specifically my grandparents and aunts) wanted something traditional, and girly - hence, my name is Puja.
2. When was the last time you cried?
Erm... Friday - basically it was just about stress and my hormones were all over the place... #girlproblems
3. Do you have kids?
No, but I would like to someday!
4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
This is a very different question! I guess I would but I'd be annoyed at myself, too - probably because of my crazy mood swings. But maybe it's because I am myself that I know about my mood swings and I'm not sure if other people realise? So, I think I would... does that make sense?!
5. Do you have a guilty pleasure?
I like to spend some days doing literally nothing, but simply relaxing and watching episodes of PLL or Revenge! But, nothing else so "guilty" really!
6. Do you like handwriting?
I thought this was an interesting question! I actually do! I love handwriting, I think it shows a lot about a person and adds some uniqueness too. I kind of feel like we shouldn't have computers and stuff because people are handwriting things less - it's kind of sad!
7. What is your favourite cereal?
Raisin Wheats!! I love adding toppings to it too, like peanut butter and strawberries! Yummy!
8. What is the first thing you notice about people?
Hmm... I don't know - I guess their hair maybe? I actually don't know! I feel like I notice their personality first.. :)
9. What colour are your eyes?
Brown!
10. Scary Movies or Happy Endings?
Happy Endings!
11. Favourite TV Show?
PLL or Revenge
12. Summer or Winter?
Autumn! ha - sorry but that's my choice! :D
13. Hugs or Kisses?
umm.... hugs! (especially bear hugs for comfort!)
14. What's the furthest you've been from home?
Well, I live in London (UK), so the furthest would be Florida - I went when I was quite young on a family trip to Disney Land and Sea World! It was pretty fun and I remember the weather there being so amazing and the roads so big! I would love to go to the US again!
15. Do you have special talents?
Well, I dance. The last show I had was in November last year at a Theatre in South London. It was super cool as we had a dressing room with a mirror surrounded by those round light bulbs - like the ones in the movies!
16. Where were you born?
London
17. What are your hobbies?
I love blogging (duh!). I also have been into reading again - oh, and I love decorating. I re-did my room and it was super fun working around the things I already had and put together something that I love.
18. Do you have any pets?
Not at the moment. I had goldfishes when I was younger, then a Hamster and then a Rabbit. My Rabbit died 2 years ago and since then I haven't bought a pet!
19. Favourite Movie?
Lets go with a classic Disney Movie: The Jungle Book. This is because my cousin was 'Baloo' the Bear in a school play and I distinctively remember going to see it when I was about 5 years old. It's probably one of my earliest memories but I still remember it and love the songs from the movie (Bear Necessities, anyone?)
20. What colour is your Car?
Black
21. What did you want to be when you grew up?
I had thoughts on becoming an actress, a singer (thinking I could totally sing, but really if I did, the windows would break!), an author, a lawyer, a doctor, a... everything! haha! I was one of those kids who changed their minds every second!
Whey, that's it! I hope you enjoyed reading it and thanks to Paula for tagging me!
