The A-Z of me

I've seen a post like this on one of the blogs I follow and it looked quite interesting so I thought I'd give it a go myself. 

So here goes, the A-Z of me! 

• A - Aunty. Becoming an Aunty has changed my life so much, I didn't even realise it would. When my sister told me she was pregnant, my heart filled with so many emotions and going through the pregnancy with her was a rollercoaster ride. I remember the day he was born, I couldn't help but cry happy tears! I love my nephew more than anything and now he's getting older and is able to say things to you it makes it even more enjoyable being around him. He's adorable and I looooove him. 

• B - Boyfriend. I've been with my other half now for 2 years and 2 months, it's gone so fast I can't even believe it! We've been through so much and we've certainly had our ups and downs but we're still together after it all. <3

• C  - Cats. I am completely and utterly obsessed with cats. I have my own kitten called Bonnie who is just over 6 months old and she's GORGEOUS. I also have two cats back at my Parent's house called Winnie and Beau and I love it when I see them because they still love me despite me leaving them!

• D - Driving. I cannot stand driving. I passed my test just over 4 years ago now and at first I loved it, the sense of freedom was amazing. Dont get me wrong, I love my car, I love being able to drive but now I just find it annoying at times. I don't deal with traffic well, I get terrible road rage and I cannot park to save my life...

• E - Education. I actually really liked the last year of school. I don't know why but I just did. All the other years I absolutely hated it but year 11 was a good year for me. I didn't enjoy sixth form though, hence why I left half way through. I have pondered going back into education but it'd cost me a lot now...

• F - Facebook. I do not have facebook and I'm sick of people going on about it. I've not had it for about 2.5 years now and I don't even miss it. 

• G - Gardening. I really love gardening as sad as that sounds. I used to work in the Garden Center at Homebase and I absolutely loved it. 

• H - Hair dye. I am completely obsessed with hair dye and dying my hair. I love the smell of dying my hair, the end result and the comments I get. I'm thinking about changing my hair to pink rather than red (just for a change!) but I don't think I'd ever stop dying my hair.

• I - Insecurities. I have days where I'm really insecure about everything, especially my stomach. I hated it before I had my appendix out but since then I have hated it even more. I just wish I could wear all the baggy clothes in the world to hide it. 

• J - Jogging. I recently took up jogging as a way to keep myself fit and healthy and I really enjoy it. I had to give it up for a few weeks after I had my appendix out though as I was at risk of giving myself a hernia..I plan on getting back on track as soon as possible as I want to get back to feeling fit and healthy! 

• K - Knitting. I love anything knitted, crocheted, basically anything crafty. I have been crocheting and knitting for around 6 years now and I would love to pass the skill on to others.

• L - Leggings. You'll more than likely ever only see me in leggings as I HATE wearing jeans. I can't stand the thought of wearing them! I've recently started wearing skirts and dresses but jeans I just can't deal with. 

• M - Makeup. I have a really unhealthy obsession with makeup. Even if I don't need something, I'll buy it as the feeling of having new makeup makes me feel so happy. I'm particularly obsessed with buying lip balms, I literally have over 50...

• N - Nail biting. Urghhhh this is one of my pet hates! I haven't bitten my nails in years, I find it disgusting. I always have a nail file handy in case I have a broken nail. I hate seeing other people biting their nails! 

• O - Operations. Before this year, I had only ever had one "operation" which was when I had a lingual frenectomy when I was about 15. This year I've had two, one earlier on this year when I had all my wisdom teeth removed and one a couple of weeks ago when I had my appendix out. I have had general anesthetic for both and I can honestly say I never ever want to have an operation again. 

• P - Parents. I couldn't be without my parents, as ridiculous as that sounds. They have helped me through so much and have always been there for me when I need help, even if I have been a terror over the years. I definitely feel closer to them now than I ever have done, which is really odd as I feel like I need to see them more now I don't live at their house any more. 

• Q - Queen. I still listen to their music even to this day, thanks to my Dad. I have grown up listening to them and I can honestly say I'm not ashamed to admit I like their music. Freddie Mercury was an amazing man, it's such a shame he's not still around now as I'd love to take my Dad to see them in concert if it were to ever happen again. 

• R - Red hair. I looove my red hair, I've had it for about 5 years now and this is coming from someone who vowed to never dye their hair. I'm naturally ginger, but I would never go back to it! 

• S - The Sims. I am compleeetely obsessed with this game. I have been since I was little and I still am now I'm 21. I've bought the expansion packs on the day of their release even from the Sims original series. The only one I don't have is the Sims 4 but I'm not sure if I will get it as I've not read very good reviews on it! 

• T - Tomb Raider. This game has been one of my favourites for years. I remember playing these games with my Sister when we were younger and buying them on the release dates. We became absolutely obsessed with these games and I particularly remember me reading out the cheats to the games whilst my Sister played the games. I still have all the original 90's games too! 

• U - Understanding. I'm quite possibly one of the most understand people ever. I like having people tell me their problems as it makes me feel like a good person. 

• V - Vegetables. I don't eat vegetables and I'm not even kidding. Yes I eat potatoes but I do. not. eat. vegetables. They smell like feet and it offends me. End of. 

• W - Weekends. I don't like having Saturday and Sundays off together. Working in retail for just over 4 years, I'm used to not having my weekends off. I never get anything done on a weekend as I can't bare going out when it's busy...I really don't deal well with crowds of people. 

• X - X rays. This is a bit of a random one, but I really don't like having x rays done. I don't like seeing bones, or images of bones. Freaks me the F out. 

• Y  - Youtube. I am obsessed with youtube. I love watching "beauty gurus" and anything else that takes my fancy. My favourite youtubers are velvetgh0st (Gabby) and grav3yardgirl (Bunny). I love all of their videos and could literally spend hours watching them! 

• Z - Zoos. I don't really like zoos as I feel like animals don't belong there. I can't even remember the last time I went to a zoo...

There we have it! There's the a-z of me. A bit of a pointless post but I thought it'd be fun to do.

Quick update!

Okay so I've been neglecting this blog for about a week now and it's safe to say I'm regretting it a bit! I thought I'd give you all a quick update as to what I've been doing.

I've recently started a new job and I absolutely love it. I've been so happy, I've been made to feel really welcome and I'm generally having a really good time. I've had the best week I've had for quite a while and it goes without saying it's the best decision I have made this year. After having such a bad time at my previous job, it was nice to finally give in my notice and wave goodbye! I've found it difficult adjusting to going back to work after nearly a month off but I finally feel ready to move on in my life and make this a happy chapter in my life story.

In other news, I'm back on my healthy eating. I bought a smoothie juice blender thing, which I've been using every day since I bought it. I went off the rails a bit when I went in to hospital, I went days without eating or when I did it was only minimal, I started eating takeaways again and I basically put on a bit of weight. Initally, I had gone back down to 12st which was fine, but when I started eating again it went back up to 12.5st which I am trying to change. And it'll happen, I swear! I have to wait another week or so just to get my tummy muscles strong again (I really haven't healed well from having my appendix out...) then it's back on to Zumba and evening walks. Luckily people at my new job are forever going on about losing weight and are quite pro-active so I'm hoping to find it easier. 

I started doing daily vlogs. Well, 1 to be precise and I forgot to film the last part...but I plan on making these a weekly occurrence on my blog so keep your eyes peeled if you are interested in seeing what I get up to. Here's the first one, be it without an ending! 

So that's a quick update on me, I hope you're all keeping well!

The TMI tag...post?

Okay so I've not actually been tagged to do this post as my blog isn't that "out there" at the moment and I'm still umming and ahhing as to whether I should start a YouTube channel. I already an account but am yet to upload a video of myself. 

I thought I'd do this post so you guys can get to know me a bit better, and who knows, I might even film this with me actually answering questions...ahh! 

So, lets get this show on the road and start this huuuuge list of questions! 

1: What are you wearing?

Joggers, a black tank top and obviously underwear!

2: Ever been in love?

Yes, yes I have. 

3: Ever had a terrible breakup?

I wouldn't call it terrible but it certainly changed my life for the better. 

4: How tall are you?

I'm around 5ft5! I look really small so people are kinda surprised when I say how tall I actually am.

5: How much do you weigh?

I'm a bit of a chunky woman, 12.5st. My weight fluctuates a lot as I have really bad eating habits, however I always linger around 11-13st.

6: Any tattoos?

No, however this is definitely on my bucketlist for this year!

7: Any piercings?

12. I have 2x6mm lobes and 4 "normal" lobe piercings, rook, conch, industrial, tragus, helix and nose. I've retired 4 piercings.

8: OTP?

Damon and Elena from the Vampire Diaries. Ahhh Delena, ahh Ian Somerhalder. 

9: Favorite show?

It's a toss up between Vampire Diaries, True Blood or Gossip Girl (even though it finished ages ago!)

10: Favorite bands?

Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Anberlin. I also like bands such as INXS, Guns N Roses etc.

11: Something you miss? 

Having someone to class as my best friend. I miss having someone who would be there to talk to constantly, listen to all my complaints, happy times and be there.

12: Favorite song?

These Days- Bon Jovi. Always has been, always will be.

13: How old are you?

21, I turn 22 in January 2015.

14: Zodiac sign?

Capricorn.

15: Quality you look for in a partner?

This is really difficult as it always changes, however someone who isn't completely self centered would be lovely at times..

16: Favorite Quote?

I don't really have a favourite quote...

17: Favorite actor?

Robert Downey Jr, I'd do things to that man that no one should ever do...!

18: Favorite color?

Pink.

19: Loud music or soft?

Loud music really annoys me but so does music I can't really hear so yeh, neither. In the middle.

20: Where do you go when you’re sad?

I always seem to go to my Mum and Dad's when I'm upset. Whether they're there or not, I always seem to go and sit in my old bedroom.

21: How long does it take you to shower?

Only about 5-10 minutes on a normal day but on hair washing days it's seriously about 45 minutes as my hair is an absolute pain to wash.

22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Again this depends on whether I'm doing my hair or not. Makeup only takes me around 10 minutes as I've got that down to a fine art but if I'm doing my hair properly it'll take me around 30 minutes. Other than that if I scrape it up it'll take me around 15.

23: Ever been in a physical fight?

No, but there's quite a few people I wouldn't feel guilty about hitting.

24: Turn on?

Dark hair which is...bad as I'm actually with someone with blonde hair...

25: Turn off?

Smoking. I really don't like it, obviously it's peoples choice to smoke but the stale smell of cigarettes makes me want to vom.

26: The reason I joined Youtube?

I'm actually yet to do this but I really want to build self confidence so I'm hoping to start it one day.

27: Fears?

Moths, bees, wasps, anything that flies apart from birds, feet. Oh and plughole hair, that creeps me out.

28: Last thing that made you cry?

Feeling completely alone. I really don't know whats wrong with me today.

29: Last time you said you loved someone?

Earlier on the phone to my Mum.

30: Meaning behind your YouTube Name?

I'm pretty sure it's either my name or it's actually SweetPea, I can't remember if I changed it.

31: Last book you read?

Honestly? The last book I properly read was when Room by Emma Donoghue was released.

32: The book you’re currently reading?

I tried re-reading A Slice Of Cake by Cupcake Brown but I got far too distracted and ended up losing my place again. I also tried re-reading Room whilst I was doing Jury Service but yeh...didn't happen.

33: Last show you watched?

Don't tell the bride, wish I hadn't of done as I constantly go on about what I want at "my" wedding which will more than likely never ever happen!

34: Last person you talked to?

My sister on whatsapp. Come back to Worcester pleeeeease.

35: The relationship between you and the person you last texted?

He's my boyfriend.

36: Favorite food?

Gah this is so difficult. I really don't have a favorite food, but as long as it has cheese on it to fuel my cheese addiction.

37: Place you want to visit?

Las Vegas. Always wanted to go there after seeing my Sister's holiday photos, it looks AMAZING.

In the shower...oh la la!

Strawberry nommmm.

43: What instruments do you play??

I'm not talented nor do I have the brain capacity to play an instrument. Does the computer keyboard count...?

44: Favorite piece of jewelery?

My favorite piece of jewellery I wear every single day is the bracelet I received for being a bridesmaid at my Sisters' wedding, however my favorite piece of jewellery of all time is my silver locket my Nan gave me when I was a baby.

45: Last sport you played?

Urm, I don't do sport haha!

46: Last song you sang?

Plans by Birds of Tokyo. Loooove that song.

47: Favorite chat up line?

I don't really have one to be honest, people don't tend to say chatup lines around me!

48: Have you ever used it?

I don't really like chatup lines, I find them cringey as hell.

49: Last time you hung out with anyone?

Sounds stupid but I actually don't have any friends. I don't go to "hang out" with people, I'm a loner. No really, I am.

50: Who should answer these questions next?

Whoever the hell reads my blog! :P


Well I hope that gave you sort of an insight in to what I'm actually like! I know it's not the best of posts but I'm trying to mix my blog up a bit rather than posting review after review. Hope to do more of these in the future!
