as some of you maybe have noticed, I haven´t updated my Pura blog (and the fanpage on FB) since a while. It´s not that I don´t like the band anymore, but rather due to lack of time. I work and since September I go to evening school. Doing both at the same time means being very busy and a minimum of spare time.
Now I have some vacation and could finally do a post again. I hope you all have/had a nice Halloween ♥
Thanks for understanding and still following my blog!
