Get to Know Me - FIRST POST

Welcome! As a new years resolution this year, that I'm determined to keep up, I wanted to start a blog. I've thought about it for a long time and always put it off because of one reason or another but I think it's time I just bite the bullet and start one! This blog will just be things that I enjoy, whether that be fashion or days out. I've never fancied myself a writer but this seems like fun and a nice getaway from university work! 

So for my first post I thought I'd do the 'Get to Know Me' tag, the generic first post but I feel it is appropriate ;-) 

1. Do you have a middle name?
Yes, my middle name is Grace. 
2. What was your favourite subject in school?

I think it was probably Drama or P.E because they were the most relaxed
 
3. What's your favourite drink?
I think my favourite drink is either tea, typical brit! Or if we're talking alcohol I'd say gin, lemonade and blackcurrant cordial (don't knock it until you've tried it!)
 
4. What's your favorite song at the moment?

Beirut - Santa Fe 

5. What would you name your children?
I have to say I haven't really thought about this, but I quite like the thought of my daughter having my middle name so Grace, and then for a boy I think something like Luke or Charlie - a cute 'cheeky chappy' name!

6. Do you participate in any sports?

I play Netball for my department at Uni but other than that I no longer do much but go for a run a few times a week. 

7. What's your favourite book? 

ah I have a few, I think P.S I love you is so good as a book, also Birdsong is really eye opening and a good read. 

8. What's your favourite colour?

I think purple or burgundy

9. What's your favourite animal?
Rabbits are so cute so I'd say them

10. What's your favourite perfume?

Euphoria by Calvin Klein


11. What's your favourite holiday?
Christmas definitely
12. Have you graduated from High School?
I guess so.. I'm British and I've finished secondary school so I guess so yes!

13. Have you been out of the country?
yeah quite a few times!

14. Do you speak any other languages?
I study French and Spanish at university now, I took them for A-Level too so I'd say I'm semi-fluent.. long way to go until I'm fluent!

 
15. Do you have any siblings?
yes! I have 2 brothers and one sister
16. What's your favourite store?

As frustrated as I get with the ridiculous pricing, I think Topshop is my favourite shop

17. What's your favourite restaurant?
I really love one where I come from, it is a family owned and run business that switches up its menu every season, it's really cool and the food is always so nice.
 
18. Do you like school? 

I loved it up until the pressure was unbelievable i.e A-Levels. Always good to see my friends and I got on well with teachers so I can't have hated it!

19. Who are some of your favourite YouTubers?
I love love love the Shaytards, they always put a smile on my face. I also love all the normal beauty and fashion ones like Tanya Burr, Zoella etc. But there's some like Codie Louise and Beautystartswithin who I think make great videos too!


20. What's your favourite movie? 

I always see good films and think "oh yes that was so good!" and then forget about it! But I think Amélie is such an interesting film when you watch it as many times as I did studying it! I also think any romcoms (Bridget Jones' Diary is a fave) are always a good shout!

21. What are some of your favourite TV shows?
I've not watched much TV since starting at university, but I always catch up on the Great British Bake Off (such an old lady) and Educating Yorkshire. My guilty pleasure is Made in Chelsea I just can't not watch ha! Also shows like New Girl and My Mad Fat Diary are good too!

22. PC or Mac?

Never used a Mac as a computer so I guess PC

 
23. What phone do you have?
I have an iPhone

24. How tall are you?
5"5


25. Any pets? 
I have a house rabbit at home, he is SO cute


Ok so there you go! A little bit about me, with some random information for your delight :-)
If you want to do this tag then go ahead or if you want to answer just one or two of the questions you can leave them as a comment.

I'll post with something much more exciting next time I promise! 

Mucho love
