The A-Z Of Me | Get To Know Me. (Part Two)

Hello everyone, 

A little while a go I posted the first part to this post, A-M, so before you read this then please make sure you read that part here! Mainly because the introduction is a lot better over there, but for the second part I'm just jumping straight in to it. So here is the letters N-Z. 

N - A saying that I love and try to preach is NEVER SAY NEVER because people change as does the world and something that may not seem achievable right now doesn't mean that it won't be a thing in time to come. 

O - ORANGE is my favourite colour. I just love the vibrancy of the brighter shades and also love the oranges that can be seen in a sunset, I find the colour both calming and exciting. 

P - I love to think that I'm a PRINCESS and some people actually play along and use the term as my nickname, bless them. My parents even got me a tiara for my 20th birthday, it was only a childs plastic dress up one but for the day I got to be a princess and I loved every moment of it!

Q - I've been addicted to two apps lately and one of them is QUIZ UP. My boyfriend asked me to download it for a mini battle then I forced my parents to do some quizzes against me, when the game first game out I was obsessed but left it on my old phone. But now it's back and I love it even more! 

R - RAINY DAYS cuddled up in bed with a good film or book and some of my favourite candles lit is one of my favourite things. There's just something about being all cosy whilst the weather is horrible that makes me very happy!

S - When I was younger my parents swapped bedrooms with me, so I upgraded to the best bedroom and they moved into my little room. They painted the walls in SUGARED LILAC and every since I've loved the colour, so much so that I intend on having my bridesmaid dresses that colour when I get married..I think the colour looks so cute and somewhat magical!

T - TATTOOS are something that I'll always love, I only have one at the moment but have lots more planned, I just like how we're born as blank, fleshy canvases and we can choose whether or not we want some amazing ink on us. Also I think tattoos can tell you a lot about a person if you ask about the story behind the ink..it makes everyone truly individual.

U - UMBRELLAS hate me with a passion. No matter how windy it is the things always go inside out, I've given up with them I'll just drape a jacket over my hair and hope for the best.

V - I have a habit of spending far too much money on shoes, espicially VANS, my favourite pair are a lace up kitten print. Nothing says crazy cat lady like having them on your shoes!

W - Harry Potter has been an obsession of mine for a loooong time and I've collected a lot of merchandise so in my bedroom I've got a cabinet of my Potter shrine. My favourite thing is my Elder WAND, it's so detailed and I may or may not run around casting spells with it.

X - I'm a very accident prone person but I was even worse as a child, I've had multiple X-RAYS in my life but only resulted in a break a few times. I've broken the same arm twice and that's it, but because that arm is slightly weaker I've had a lot of times where I've bruised the bone.

Y - YANKEE CANDLES are my absolute favourite. I think I get the love of the candles from my mum as she has different Yankee's for different occasions. I love the Christmas scented ones as the smell is always so festive! At the moment I burn the Fireside Treats, in my bedroom, and it's just sweet enough without being too sickly or overpowering.

Z - Now this one could be an unpopular opinon and I totally understand the negative sides of captivity but I really enjoy spending a day out in a ZOO. Some of my happiest memories were created there so I feel like it's a big part of me.

Woah. This second part was so hard! I struggled and powered through for most of the letters so sorry if it's not fab but this is how my brain works. Thank you for reading and hope you now know me a bit better.

The A-Z Of Me | Get To Know Me. (Part One)

Hello everyone,

A few times on this blog I've posted some get to know me things as I love reading that topic of content but more importantly I love writing it too, especially if they're slightly challenging and makes me think hard about a good answer. This is why I love tags so much as I think they're just fun and if you all get to know me that little bit better then perfect! I saw this idea on a few peoples blogs and loved the concept so I thought lets do this, I'm splitting this up in to two chunks mainly so it's more readable as otherwise I think it just looks like a lot of babble and I would also prefer to write this in two parts as I'd probably give up at a certain point and never come back to it. Part one is A-M and I'll post the second edition in a few days so keep your eyes peeled! (I'll come back and link part two at the bottom)

Here we go!

A - You may already know this but my inspiration is ADELE. I just think she's so down to earth and she seems like the most genuine, caring celebrity..rumour has it that I would love her to mother me because her songs are a huge comfort in my life, plus she just looks like a good cuddler!

B - My favourite times of the year is Christmas and birthdays as in my family we usually spend a lot of time playing BOARD GAMES and we never stop laughing. I'm fairly close with my family, particularly my brothers, so I just love being able to bond and enjoy each others company whilst having fun and making memories. 

C - CATS!!!! I am a complete crazy cat lady and I honestly do not care. I'm aware that I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with the cute felines but oh well! I have 3 boy cats who I love with every piece of me and they do brighten my darkest days, as lame as that may sound to some of you reading this but I know I can tell them anything and they won't go anywhere. 

[L-R] Milo (6 months), Ted (2 years), Smudge (4 years)

D - You're never too old for DISNEY! I've always loved Disney and that will never fade, I love every aspect. On September 2nd I get to go back to Disneyland Paris, I last went for my 10th birthday, but now with one of closest friends, otherwise known as my soul mate, and I couldn't be more excited for our little adventure.

E - This one might seem a little weird for some people but I can't go a day without EYELINER and if/when I do then you know I'm ill or hay fever has hit me hard. One thing I hate more than not wearing eyeliner is letting my eyes run, forcing me to look like a panda!

F - I wish real life was like a FAIRYTALE!! You could wake up looking perfect, talk to animals and sing to your Prince Charming but sadly it's not like that. Life is tough. I just think if I had a unicorn walking around I'd be pretty happy!

G - My main weakness, especially during diets, is GUMMY SWEETS. If they're sour then even better, I'm not a full on chocolate person as it just seems to lay in my throat so chews and gummies are the way to go with me.

H - I love HOLDING HANDS with a passion and when the boy does the strokey thumb thing..well say no more! I usually get quite paranoid after about 5 minuets of hand holding as all I can think is 'are my hands becoming clammy?'.

I - I can be such an INDECISIVE human sometimes and it's something that I'm always aware of, I wish I was someone who could make a snap decision and be done with the choice I have made.

J - JELLYFISH have always intrigued me, I love the look of them as they usually float around looking fairly peaceful but their sting is far from that. Thankfully I've never been stung but I've witnessed many stings happening at the beach whilst growing up, I wouldn't say I'm scared of them I just steer a bit clear of them but sometimes they just float a lot closer to me than I want.

K - I drive around in a little KA, called Luna, and I would honestly be so lost without her. Having my own car gives me so much freedom!

L - All I've ever dreamt about is being in LOVE and being loved back fully. When I'm with someone I fall pretty hard and pretty quick, which is a positive and also a negative of dating but luckily I've found someone who I adore. We can be complete weirdos with each other and still go on the cutest dates so thank you to him for being everything I want and more, I have physically said the 3 words to him yet as I feel like it's too soon (we've been seeing each other since December but officially been in a relationship for a little over a month) but I know it's going that way and hopefully he'll be in my life for a looooong time!

M - One of my favourite possessions is my MICHAEL KORS padlock bangle in rose gold, my parents got me this beauty for my 20th birthday present and I wear it pretty much every day!

So that's A-M, hope that gets you to know me a little bit better. Keep your eyes peeled for the second instalment!

25 Questions | Get To Know Me.

 Hello everyone, 

I've realised that I never really done a post that explains a bit more about so I thought it would be fun to do the get to know me tag so you can get ore of an understanding on who I am, without me going on a real personal essay that would bore all to tears!

1. Do you have a middle name?
Yep, Samantha. Personally I hate it but obviously I didn't really get a say in that.

2. What was your favourite subject in school?
Art! I love anything creative and my class had all my friends with the best teacher in the department.
 
3. What’s your favourite drink?
Oasis citrus punch..or vodka and diet coke if I need something stronger!

4. What’s your favourite song at the moment?
History by One Direction, completely underestimated how much I loved this song until I found myself playing it on constant repeat.


5. What would you name your children?
Having kids isn't really in my big plan of life but if I ever changed my mind and popped a human out then for a girl I love the names Scarlett and Maisie. Boys names I find harder to choose as I'm not a fan of generic names so I'd like to name a boy either Ezra or Tate.
 
6. Do you participate in any sports?

Pfft, is that some kind of sick joke? A normal answer would be no but seeing as I'm attempting, and failing miserably may I add, to get back into my healthy routine I should really say yes. I love swimming but other than that then I just stick myself into a sweaty gym, or in a hall full of middle aged women for Zumba..if that counts.

7. What’s your favourite book? 
I seriously have to choose? Uum, I adore the Harry Potter series with all my heart but I also love any Giovanna Fletcher and John Green books so I honestly can't choose a favourite. My parents nicknamed me Matilda all throughout my childhood as I'd always be reading and loved the idea of escaping to a different world for a few chapters.

8. What’s your favourite colour?
Orange and purple..just not together!

9. What’s your favourite animal?
I'm known as the crazy cat lady so it would be so wrong not to answer with cats, but apart from the domestic felines I also love watching monkeys as I find them super interesting.

10. What’s your favourite perfume?
At the moment my favourite perfume is Princess by Vera Wang.

11. What’s your favourite holiday?
Christmas, no doubts about it. I love everything about the festive period - the films, songs and of course the lead up until Santa makes a visit.

12. Have you graduated from High School?
Sadly the UK don't have some amazing graduation, you sort of just do your exams and that's it. But I got some shocking GCSE results and just scraped my way into college.

13. Have you been out of the country?
Been to six different countries, honestly if I had the money then most people wouldn't see me for a very long time as I'm in love with the idea of travelling! One day I'll experience all the places and cultures that currently sit in my bucket list.

14. Do you speak any other languages?
Sadly apart from a few French words, we had to learn in school, that's as far as my foreign language skills go. 


15. Do you have any siblings?
I have 2 older brothers, they're pretty cool I guess. 

16. What’s your favourite store?
At the moment it's Lush, I'm just obsessed with every product..and my old faithful that is Primark.

17. What’s your favourite restaurant?

Has to be a Harvester, now if you're not from the UK then you won't get this, but red devil sauce like seriously can they just sell that in main supermarkets now or..?
 
18. Do you like school? 
Even though I still feel like I should be a child I left school in 2012. I loved school with a passion, until I got to about 14 then my interests changed more to the social aspect of school life rather than focusing and learning new things..not really a smart move.

19. Who are some of your favourite YouTubers?
Louise Pentland [Sprinkle of Glitter], Gabriella Lindley [velvetgh0st] and Zoe Sugg [Zoella]

20. What’s your favourite movie? 
I honestly don't have a favourite movie, I just have movies that I get really passionate about and watch for weeks on end. Anything Harry Potter, Disney or typical rom-com and I love! 
 

21. What are some of your favourite TV shows?
The Big Bang Theory, Melissa and Joey, American Horror Story and Tattoo Fixers.


22. PC or Mac?
PC, I'm longing for the day I become a Mac owner.


23. What phone do you have?
iPhone 6s Plus - my little, or not so little, rose gold beauty. 

24. How tall are you?
Last time I checked I was just over 5'6.

25. Any pets?
YES! I'm the proud mother to three beautiful cats, and I love them to pieces. 

Hope this helped with getting to know me a bit better and look forward to post more personal posts in the future. 

Until next time,

Shannon.
