On Sunday, it was my birthday and I turned 25. That is crazy. It only felt like yesterday that I was in Secondary School all carefree, GCSE's were going to be a big thing for me, I'd be on MSN for countless hours chatting to my friends and giving people love on Bebo. That was 10 years ago and a lot of things have changed since then, mainly for the better, although many bad things have come my way. But, in the 25 years that I have been alive, there have been many things that I have learnt but these are the 25 that have stuck with me the most. So, here they are.

1. Tea is my favourite hot beverage.
2. I'm a little bit weird and that's okay.
3. You don't get bumps on your tongue if you lie.
4. Glasses aren't a bad thing.
5. Cats are my favourite animal ever.
6. Getting spotty is a normal thing, even in your 20's.
7. I can't please everybody.
8. Not everyone will like me.
9. I don't have square eyes, even though I've watched TV for most of my life.
10. Things may get scary and stressful but it will get better.
12. It's okay to have down days with no explanation as to why.
12. I don't have to know what I want to do in life.


13. Looking after myself is a priority.
14. I can just be me. I don't need to fit in or be part of a crowd.
15. I'm the worst of getting rid of material possessions.
16. You can spell Jason from using 5 months' first letters (July, August, September, October, November).
17. Friendship is about how much we care about each other, not how long I've known them.
18. Going outside with wet hair doesn't give me a cold.
19. I'm unique.
20. Having a sister is like having a best friend, who brings you food or toilet roll.
21. When I say 'having a few drinks', it usually means I end up with a few bottles of wine under my belt.
22. I am pretty.
23. Saving money is definitely beneficial for my future.
24. Using swear words frequently means that you have a 'greater overall vocabulary'. I must have a massive vocabulary.
25. The quality of my relationship isn't defined or rated by what I see on social media.

And that's the list complete. 25 years have taught me a lot, let's see what the next 25 years teach me.

What have you learnt in your years?

Look after yourself,

What’s the last thing you bought?

Haha, I double checked my online banking and it was for Deliveroo, for a Burger King :'D

Favourite book of all time?

Honestly, I'm not much of a book person but the only book (well, series) I ever read was the Harry Potter books. Especially as each film came out, I enjoyed going back over the books to see how they differed.

Favourite colour?

I don't really have a favourite colour at the moment. I can give you a colour that I was obsessed with at one point. It was burgundy. I swear, I bought so many clothes, accessories in that colour, you have no idea.

Do you have any pets?

I do! :D I currently have 4 cats, who I love to bits. One is called G (we had her brother who we named T, so they were called G&T, as in Gin and Tonic. Don't ask), another is called Lily and then we have a brother & sister called Milo and Luna. My family and I are cat people so we've had atleast one cat since I was about 6.

Favourite Perfume?

I loooove Chloé Eau de Parfum. I love that smell so much.

Favourite Holiday Destination?

I really enjoy going to Cornwall. It's the only real place I've gone on holiday to (as I've only been out the UK once to Ireland) and I just love the sites & the beaches. Plus I have some family down there.

Are you married?

I'm not married, although I am happily in a relationship with my boyfriend, who I've been with for nearly 7 years.

Have you ever been out of the country, if so how many times?

Once, to Ireland (I know I just said it up there). I went with my friends who I've known since school so I'm glad my first trip out of the UK was with them.

Do you speak any other languages?

Unfortunately no. I did do French in secondary school but that didn't go far.

How many siblings do you have?

Just the one younger sister, who is like my best friend. We can do such stupid stuff and we just laugh, even though it makes no sense to anyone else.

What’s your favourite shop?

I love Topshop and I know this isn't a shop, but ASOS too. Can't miss out on Primark though for some bargains.

Favourite Restaurant?

YO! Sushi. I love their katsu curry and chicken gyozas. Love, love love.

When was the last time you cried?

On Thursday, I think. I was just trying to eat my dinner and I just got really sad. My boyfriend was there to comfort me though.

Favourite Blog?

There are so many to choose from. I've seen so many lovely blogs lately that I honestly can't pick one.

Favourite Film?

Harry Potter all the way. It's weird to think I was only 9 when the first film came out! So long ago but it was just magical all the way to the end.

Favourite TV Shows?

It's not on TV but OITNB. So, so good. I also find RuPaul's Drag Race such a laugh.

PC or Mac?

I've been a PC user for so long but I got a Mac for my birthday. I was speechless. I absolutely love mine.

What phone do you have?

iPhone 6 in grey, although I kinda want to get the 6S Rose Gold. The plus is way to big for my hands. Personally, I don't like the SE.

How tall are you?

About 5ft 5in. It's kinda nice because when I cuddle my boyfriend, I can fit just under his chin.

Can you cook?

I'd like to say that I can. I cooked a katsu curry for the first a few months ago and it actually came out alright. I've been really trying to cook new things recently because I'm getting bored of eating the same things.

And there we go! Now you know a little bit more about me. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Is there anything that we share in common?

It's not unclear to see that I've not posted on here for a little while now but I've had quite a manic end to 2015. I ran into working some long hours, had some issues with my health (it's okay, I'm on the mend now) and just life in general getting in the way a bit, causing me to feel awfully stressed. This isn't a healthy way for me to deal with these situations so I know that I need to make some changes.

I want 2016 to be a better, more positive year and the first thing that I want to do is get back into blogging again. Every moment I spent putting ideas together, creating the posts and changing up the look, I enjoyed it so much and it let me bring out the creative side of me that I rarely get to show and utilise.

I've got some ideas in what I want to post next year so I'm already looking forward in sharing these with you but if there is anything you'd like to see on my blog, then please let me know in the comments below.

Let 2016 be the year you want it to be. Don't let anyone or anything change what you want to accomplish.

Look after yourself,
