The Liebster Blog Award - Thank you!

I know this has happened once before, but, I've been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award! Thank you so much Nicola at Just an Ordinary Girl. Half way through writing this I received a comment saying that I'd also been nominated by Alina at AlinaLoves. It is such a lovely feeling to know that people are actually reading my ramblings on and taking notice, so thank you to you all :)

My 11 Facts

1. I'm a Journalism graduate with a BA Second Class Honours (1st Divison) from Sheffield Hallam University.

2. I passed my driving test the first time round, but it took me three times to pass my theory test... explain that if you can.

3. I'm still scared of the dark, even at the age of 21. This means whenever its dark, the lights have to be on in every room I'm going into or out in the hall etc.

4. I absolutely love my family more than anything in the world. I see my cousins  aunties and uncles nearly every single day.

5. I am the worst person for biting my nails. I have to literally keep them painted 24/7 so I don't bite them.

6. I can't leave the house without my make up in my bag, or on my face for that matter. I feel a bit self-conscious when I don't have it with me. 

7. I literally make lists for everything! Its my way of feeling organised and knowing what I need to do or buy. 

8. I have an absolute guilty pleasure for anything like The Only Way Is Essex and Made In Chelsea. Do not ask me why, but I just have to watch them.

9. I'll probably regret being this soppy but I'm head over heels about my boyfriend Frazer. He really is the best thing that's happened to me and even though we annoy each other and have silly arguments, I don't half love him!

10. I literally live in skinny jeans. I hardly ever wear anything else, so I have a huge collection of jeans.

11. I absolutely love Vivienne Westwood! I have my own little collection with four pairs of earrings, three bracelets, a necklace, two pairs of shoes and a purse.


My 11 Answers

1. Describe your childhood imaginary friend
I never had an imaginary friend... I don't know if that's good or bad? But yeah, I never had one.

2. Who was your first love?
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I thought it was one of my ex boyfriends, but then from being in the relationship I am now I think that love's completely different. So, I think it depends what you class love as, and who you're with etc etc.. because I know I always think I am, but I'm actually not. Confused?

3. What is your favourite book and why?
I don't think I have a favourite book, it's more like a favourite author, which is Stephen King. I love a good thriller or horror novel so who else would it be?! If I had to choose one book, it would probably be The Shining.

4. People are too negative in life, tell me five things you love about yourself
Wow, what a question! Right here goes...
- I love my hair. I'd bleached it blonde for about five years until last year when I decided to take the risk and go dark again. I can't believe why I didn't do it sooner!
- I love how neat and organised I am, it always seems to pay off. Although I do think its a little OCD..
- This may sound funny, but at the minute I love how I seem to be able to eat everything and anything I want without it even touching me weight wise. My Mum says this is definitely going to catch up on me some day...
- I love how happy I seem to be at the minute. Everything's going how I want it to and I'm actually really loving my life, even though I may moan about it a lot.
- I can't think of a 5th one that I want to write down... I think I've done pretty well with this :))

5. Which four people would you invite to a dinner party?
Any four people? My cousin, Beth and best one, Sophie, because they literally make me wee with laughter so I'd be guaranteed a good night. Then definitely Drake because I absolutely love him! Then Joan Rivers, because with her paired with my two besties, I'd literally be on the flour crying with laughter.

6. What's your biggest life ambition?
To be honest, I'm not really sure anymore. It was to get into the fashion industry and write for a magazine like Vogue, but I'm not sure if I even want to do that anymore? Watch this space...

7. What do you REALLY want for Christmas this year?
Oh god this sounds like my Mum at the minute, she's always asking me. There's loads of things I WANT, but obviously I'd never ever ask for. I'd love some AA Disco Pants, the Michael Kors bag I've had my eye on for months and some Vans. Oh, I've thought of a few more things... wow I'm bad at this!

8. What's the biggest piece of advice you could give to yourself as an outsider? Think of a negative about yourself and how you would tell someone to change it?
Probably to not worry as much as I do about everything. I don't really have a lot of confidence with things, which makes me worry a lot. I'd definitely say to stop worrying and to put a lot more trust in people. 

9. How many lies have you told today?
None! Wow go me, but it is only 9.30am, I've got all day to change this yet...

10. Who is your cartoon crush?
I don't actually think I have one. I know I know, 'everyone has one' but I literally don't. Boringgggg.

11. What is your job title and description? 
My job title is Sales Assistant. Yep, I work in Retail, at Matalan. I work on the Ladies department with another girl, who is so lovely! She is the full-timer and I am the part-timer.
