AN INTRODUCTION
Hey mates! I'm Ben. I am a 20 y/o trainee barber and a very chill dude that has decided to start blogging and potentially vlogging my lifestyle. I will be focusing primarily on my three main passions, Veganism, hair and beauty products for men and music.
A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT
It was around a year ago that my perspective on life took quite the turn.
I was in my first year of University and like the many of teens and young adults my age I thought it was where I needed to be. With no real idea of what I wanted out of life, I was stuck in a rut of not really enjoying life and literally smoking it away. I decided to take some half measures of action around the beginning of last year, but nothing serious.
It wasn't until I crashed my motorbike in the very late days of May last year that really shifted my reality. I have always been a rather 'awake' guy but quite lazy when it came to taking life into my own hands.
The motorbike crash caused me to loose the tip of my finger and it shook me into thinking if circumstances of that crash were different, the outcome could have been far worse. I was pretty homebound for a few weeks and it caused me to think about my situation and what I really wanted.
I was still a little unsure but I knew I needed to get out of a situation that was clearly not making me happy or benefitting me in the slightest.
A lot happened in those few weeks. I dropped out of University and began to really think about what I wanted to do, I met the love of my life and planned for myself a chunk of time where I could really get my crap together.
I liberated myself by taking a few breaks abroad and chilling with mates more, volunteering at festivals and taking on a few other odd jobs. All of this gave me time to really think about what I wanted to do and to really think about my capabilities.
It was very back and fourth for me for many many months, living in different places and trying out new paths.
All of this trial and erroring led my to pursue a career in barbering and to actually put large chunks of time in creative aspects of my life - this blog and Instagram page is just another of those avenues that I should have started pursuing years ago.
I cannot put emphasis enough on how important giving yourself time to figure things out is.
An awful lot of people don't even stop to think about what they are doing and it scares the heck out of me because we have one beautiful life to live exactly how we want and so many people let life lead them and not the other way around.
I didn't intend for this bit to be in such depth but hopefully this little intro helps you get a gage on my character and for you to read a small bit of my story that has lead me to this journey.
SO WHAT WILL YOU EXPECT TO FIND ON THIS BLOG?
On this blog I will be posting Vegan food recipes and ideas, doing hair and beauty product reviews (Cruelty free of course), motivation and lifestyle posts / rants, discussing everything music and much more.
I do love my cooking so I will be posting a lot on my non-personal Instagram @bxnduttonvegan and will also post anything blog related on there too.
Recipes ect will be posted on here every week amongst other things but I will be posting what I eat and other fun stuff on my Instagram every day.
I hope you enjoyed my first blog post and please keep checking back for new posts and keep up with me on my Instagram - @bxndutton_ and @bxndutton
Any queries or questions please DM me or email - @benjaminddutton@gmail.com
Peace 🙏
