It’s often I post on my little space on the internet but rare that I actually let you know who I am. I write my opinions and self help posts but how much do you actually know about me? That is why I wanted to write up 10 things, random yet personal, so you can find out more. So here goes, some you may already know and some not!
10 things you probably didn’t know about me
- Okay, you will know this if you have followed me for a while, but I am a triplet. I have two sisters the same age and it’s pretty fun! And no… we aren’t identical.
- Back when I was 15 I had an operation to remove a large section of my bowel after my Crohn’s had got really severe. I took a lot of time out of school but it meant I could spend the rest of my teenage years in remission, which was great.
- My natural hair colour is BLONDE! Yes, I know I have dark eyebrows (as people like to remind me when I tell them I am naturally blonde) but believe it or not, my base shade is a mid-strawberry blonde… not that I have seen it for many years now.
- So bit of a weird one, I have to inject myself every two weeks in my thigh. It’s a Crohns medication that has really helped me feel better again. I’m so thankful I was able to get it on the NHS after a long battle with a flare up.
- I have a degree in Illustration! It has been just over 3 years since I graduated from my degree but seems like only yesterday. I studied Illustration at Portsmouth University, and the course was quite varied. This meant that by third year I had kind of sussed out my ‘style’ and really pushed my love for blogging along with it.
- Like most people nowadays I suffer with anxiety. Annoyingly last November 2015 I had finally talk to a doctor about my uncontrollable anxiety and panic attacks. I now take a mild drug to help me balance this and I feel much better for it. I still get days were I am really anxious and my main thing is thinking negatively about myself. I’m trying my hardest not to, but sadly this is just where it gets me the most, especially feeling jealous of others.
- It’s been nearly my 5 years blog anniversary, where has the time gone? At first my blog was just a way of uploading more details of outfits I was uploading to Lookbook. Overtime it’s become so much more than that. Now today I feel it is a huge part of my life I couldn’t imagine not doing it.
- I listen to a vast variety of music from Olly Murs to Heavy Metal. My music taste is extremely broad and I can never define the one genre I like the most. One day I will listen to Olly Murs, the next Panic at the Disco, The charts or heavier stuff like Emarosa. A fun little fact to go with this is that I can hear a song once and know the words, it’s one of my favourite traits! If only I could remember the names and artists that sing the songs, it would be even better, ha!
- When I was growing up I used to attend Girl Guides and Dance classes. It was as the age of 15 I gave up both because my teenage stupidness took over. If I could go back I would have loved to pursue dancing more professionally or in a small theatre group.
- This year I started up a small side venture of selling painted jackets, up-cycled clothing and accessories. It’s only just started and still needs a lot of work but I hope to make it my fulltime job one day. You can check it out on Etsy or Depop. Any support, sales and shares will mean so much to me.
