In light of this morning’s decision for the UK to leave the EU, we thought it somehow inappropriate to be posting about summer skincare, and not offer our community the opportunity to discuss our immediate and more long-term future.

The Rock My Ltd’s team Whats App group has been ablaze from the early hours expressing our concern over the uncertainty of what’s to come, we all voted to remain – I’m not here to try and preach to you all that is the “right” decision, but I believe it’s relevant and important that we’re honest as to the fact the result is not what we personally wished for.

In terms of how ages voted a poll from YouGov has released the following:

18-24: 75% remain
25 -49: 56% remain
50- 64: 44% remain
65+ : 39% remain

As I write we know that the immediate consequences are that Cameron has resigned, share prices have crashed by percentages higher than the recession in 2008 (Bank Of Scotland have reduced by over 34%) and the pound against the dollar is the lowest it’s been for three decades. It’s understandable that our immediate reaction is to feel concern and apprehension. As some of you may already be aware, James and I are in the midst of purchasing our forever family home, we have no idea what will happen – there is so much speculation with regards house prices reducing considerably.

We live in a democracy, we have the right to vote and the majority voted out – as citizens of the UK we are given the opportunity to have our say in laws that affect our day to day lives, and that can only be a positive. Our intention is not to open up the floodgates on how the outcome to leave the EU is “wrong” – or indeed right. We hope to promote healthy debate and very much value your thoughts and contributions in the comments section below.

Will we recover in due course? Or will it take years? How will this affect our generation? How do you feel it will affect you personally in the short-term? And the longer-term?
