What on Earth is this?

Hello chickens!

or at this time hello me.

Welcome to gorgeous in green a blog by me (maze) for… well , me! And maybe some of you.

The reason I started this blog is to talk about sustainable and ethical beauty and fashion, which i will go into but what i have realised is for a while no one is gonna be interested in this and i will be writing mainly for myself. Maybe this blog will never take off and that's okay.

Let me start by telling you a little about myself. My name is Maisy , I am 23 years old , female and I live in the rainy UK. I currently work in retail and live with my parents and my brother liam. I am engaged to my amazing boyfriend Dean (we don't live together , who can afford a home of their own nowadays ) . I have always been passionate about the environment and have always been an animal lover, I have also been a victim to the ever growing beauty and fashion industry. By victim I mean I have fallen for the campaigns that have convinced me that my outward appearance has any effect on who I am as a person and how people should treat me much like , well, everyone.

What I was originally intending with this blog is to inform people about products and brands that follow my values. However what i have decided to do now as im currently planning my glow up journey.( yes i know how that sounds). I want to glow up physically , mentally and spiritually. All in all I want to be a better person whilst still sharing things that fit my values at the same time.

In my 23 years of life I have ‘glowed up’ what feels like a million times, watching videos and following others advice and never got anywhere, I'm still insecure ,depressed and stressed nothing has stuck. Nothing against the youtubers i have watched. They have some good advice and tips. If you choose the right ones to watch, that is .

What I have decided to do is fully commit to becoming ‘ the best version of me' ) and I wanted to bring you along with me ( or just document it so I can read and see). I feel like the people we watch don't always show the nitty gritty or the failure/ struggles along the way. So that's what I'm gonna do , you’re getting the raw honest truth.

Full disclaimer this isn't going to be a 6 weeks master class and I am most definitely not telling you to do exactly what I do - remember this is trial and error for me too- im going to do the research and test and figure out what works for me . I would also like to say that this has no financial benefit for me and if anything does come along. I will always be fully transparent about it. I have absolutely 0 expectations for this blog, but hopefully this does help someone to at least not feel alone and I am always here if anyone needs a friend , you can find my contact details on the contact me page

I'm going to talk about things that are personal and maybe triggering but will put a trigger warning on any and all posts. Again feel free to contact me if I do something wrong and I will correct and apologise.

Lots of love chicken , see you in the next one! xoxo
