WELCOME, IT'S HERE

END OF AN ERA

third time lucky, right?

welcome to the new and improved "oh, mitch please!". this is my little hideaway from the real world: full of mumbles and rambles, genius and idiocy. previously, "mitch please" was almost solely a men's beauty and health blog, dedicated to reviewing new and existing products centred around making you look and feel better. it dawned on me soon after the rush of novelty wore off that:

a) my market was quite niche, definitely broader in recent years but still a minority. 

b) there were reams of blogs which were far better than mine.

c) "mitch please" offered nothing new and exciting to the world of overt metrosexuality. 

d) it felt forced. i stopped enjoying writing reviews and planning posts and eventually came to loathe publish day when it reared its ugly head.

it's with fond memories and a heavy heart that i admit i've deleted the original "mitch please" blog to make room for "oh, mitch please!" - a new foray into writing. my first blog will always have a place in my heart, if not for the few thousand views that slowly crept up over the years then for the odd comment from an e-stranger, commending my work. the recognition and praise i received whilst posting on "mitch please" was genuinely affirming and i can't thank you enough if you ever read any of those clumsily passionate words. 

but fret not, there will still be plenty of beauty product reviews held within these pixels. alongside them, though, will be snippets of my life: books, films, photos, songs, places, artists, clothes, stupid impulse purchases, poetry, stories, anecdotes and maybe the odd inspirational quote or lyric but don't hold that against me. 

i'm trying to be a better person, someone much happier than the person i know now and, in a staggeringly self-righteous and arrogant way, my new blog is a way to document this. figuratively speaking, it's "kitchen sink": the boring reality of a 23 year old realist, feeling his way through the dark. "oh, mitch please!" really is an escape for me and i hope it is for you too. 

join me, won't you?
