10 Facts About Me
10 Facts About Me
As this blog is an insight in to my world, it seemed only appropriate to start off with a quick 10 facts about me!
1. I have BIG dreams
I love adventure. There's nothing better than visiting a totally new place and immersing yourself in the culture. As soon as I finish uni I'm heading off around the world! Well, I'm starting in South America and I suppose we shall see how far I get!
2. I'm vegan
Yes, I'm a vegan. No, I can't eat chocolate. No, I do not miss bacon? Any other questions? Oh and if you ask my what I eat in a typical day... I am likely to hit you. I'm sure you'll be hearing much more about being vegan in this blog, not in a preaching way, just sharing the love of yummy no-cute-animals-included meals!
3. I love my cat (and Matt)
I have a disabled cat I rescued as a kitten. I couldn't not, she was the only one with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (aka she walks like she's drunk and falls over a lot) and I totally fell in love with her. She sleeps under the duvet with me and loves a cuddle. She also saved my life, but more on that later! I love her so much and have a cushion with her picture on so she comes with me wherever I go! I am actually writing this blog in bed with my cat on my lap. Oh and her name is Hopie Pie!
The other love in my life is Matt. I don't know what I'd do without him and to be honest don't understand how he puts up with my quirkiness (is that even a word?) most the time. But I'm very glad he does!
4. i'm always cold
I maintain I should be living in a climate a million miles away! Nothing appeals more than lying in the sun, with a good book and a diet coke. I'm always cold and being a student and not wanting to spend money I refuse to put the heating on, so I will likely be found huddled under a mountain of blankets!
5. I'm learning to love my imperfections
I'll never - no matter how hard I wish - look like a Victoria Secret model. I've struggled a lot over my teenage years with no confidence and social anxiety. But finally I've begun to realise that actually nobody looks like the people in the glossy magazines and do you know what... that's okay! I'm me, I have freckles I spend too much time trying to cover up, no matter how long I spend at the gym I will never like my legs and my eyes are slightly wonky, but I don't really care anymore (well not that much!).
6. i'm doing a degree in english language
The dream is to blog whilst travelling and then work in publishig in a magazine (Anna Wintour if you're reading this feel free to ask for a CV). I knew I wanted to get a degree, so what better than doing it in something I love - writing.
7. i spend far too much money on makeup
Especially Benefit. Hang around long enough and you'll find a lot of product reviews I'm sure!
8. i am addicted to diet coke
I know what you're going to say; it's so bad for you bla bla bla. Don't you think I know! I just can't help it, I'm totally and utterly addicted! I've tried going cold turkey, but it ended up with me chain drinking five cans. All I can say (which I frequently do to my mother, and Matt, who both equally pester about it) is that I don't smoke, drink alcohol or copious amounts of tea or coffee like a lot of people my age, so whats a few cans of decliciousness hey?!
9. my family mean the world to me
My mum is the biggest worrier in the world and sometimes her constant need for reassurance that I am still alive is infuriating - but I love her all the same. My mum and dad have supported me through everything and everytime I fall down are there to pick me up.
10. i hope this is just the beginning!
