7 Things That Make Me Happy 

1. My furry bundle of joy - my 5 year old cat Sabra. She is also my little allergy ball, but is worth every single Zyrtec that I take. 

2. My wonderful family and friends - I would not be anywhere today without them. 

3. The supportive main man in my life, Alex. 

4. A good book - reading is one of my favourite past-times. 

5. A nice cup of tea! I love tea of most varieties, and have a bit of a collection going. 

6. My work - I am a social worker in a hospital setting (trauma), and love absolutely every second of it. 

7. Last but not least...all things beauty and fashion! Make up, skin care, accessories, shoes...the list goes on!

Seven Little Things (Versatile Blogger Award)

Hey all,

Sorry this post is up so late at night, I have been having technology issues; and those of you who follow me on Twitter would have read that I was about to throw my laptop out the window! I still can't seem to comment, or reply to comments - which is driving me insane! I will get back to you all as soon as I work this all out though! 

I was nominated for a Versatile Blogger Award by the lovely as ever Tegan from Tegania's Thoughts - thank you so much!!

So, here are seven little things about me! 

1. I love to read - it is honestly one of my favourite things in the world! I can get lost in a book for hours and hours! 

2. I probably talk about my cat a little too much! - I can't help it, I adore her. A lot of my friends say that I am a couple of traumatic experiences away from being a crazy cat lady. 

3. I have epilepsy - it's a part of me, and I am completely okay with it. I don't believe that it defines me as a person or holds me back. I just have to stay away from strobe lights, haha. 

4. I really do live for food - I spend a whole lot of my waking time eating, and if I'm not eating I am talking about what I am going to eat later, or food in general (when I am not talking about my cat, hehe).


5. I will always fight for what I believe in - be it Gay Rights, equality or equal pay, I will not stop fighting until I see positive change. I am a social worker after all.


6. My favourite colour is purple.


7. I am a big people person! I enjoy talking to people, being near people and learning about people! So always feel free to chat to me on twitter or send me some comments and emails!


The whole point of the Versatile blogger award is to lead others into some new, and quite frankly amazing blogs that they may have never heard of before!

Rules
- Thank the person that nominated you with a link back.
- Tell 7 things about yourself.
- Pass this on to 10 newly discovered blogs & let them know that they received the award.

Have a great night/early hours of the morning! xx

Guts & Glamour Tag

Hey all, 

I absolutely love tags! They are always fun, and you always learn interesting bits and pieces about people that you would have never known otherwise. What can I say, I'm a snoop. 

I was talking by the wonderful Ess at This Is Ess.

1. What is your favourite fruit juice? 

Cranberry juice is definitely my favourite! I love its distinct, not too sweet taste. It is also packed full of antioxidants which is an added bonus! 

2. How long has it been since you last shaved your legs?

Shaved them yesterday! Hah, you thought you could embarrass me, didn't you? :P 

3. If I was stuck on an island ... (finish this sentence)

I would find a way to relax for the rest of my days; hopefully I have a few books and some mascara. 

4. What is the one thing you can never leave the house without?

My phone! That thing is my life support system, and I start getting nervous when we're parted for too long! (I'm not crazy, promise). 

5. What are your three biggest pet peeves?

Sentences that go like this: "I'm not racist...BUT", "I'm not complaining...BUT". EUGH! 

Scraping cutlery on plates when eating, it is not a pleasant noise. 

People who 'forget' to indicate when driving - I don't know where you're going, unless you let me know! 

6. What was the pit and peak of your day?

Pit - Realising that I have a uni assignment due on Friday. 

Peak - Scrumptious sushi lunch with mum. 

7. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Let's just say a lot, more than I care to admit. Haha. 

8. When and why did you start your blog?

October last year - I was going through a very stressful point in my life, and felt like I needed to do something that I loved. So I started this blog as a bit of a release, and it worked wonders! It gave me a bit of a fresh start! 

9. Would you rather kiss Lil' Wayne for 10 seconds or hold a snake for 10 seconds?

Snake, definitely. I find snakes kind of cute...

10. Who is your favourite person in the whole wide world?

My mother - she is the biggest inspiration in my life. I am the person that I am today because of her :) I am also quite a fan of my cat, but there are those of you who would argue that she's not a person! 

11. Are you a coffee or tea person?

Tea glorious tea!! All sorts of tea. My current faves are: Peach Green Tea, French Earl Grey, and Peppermint. 

Now I am supposed to create some questions.

1. What's your favourite thing about blogging?

2. Who/what is your biggest inspiration?

3. How many lipstick's do you own? Approximately.

4. Describe your go-to look, what do you like about it?

5. Bright lips or colourful eyes? 

6. What is your favourite food, or type of food? 

7. Do you have any pets? 

8. Where is your favourite place to holiday? 

9. Do you read much? And what do you enjoy reading? 

10. What's your favourite TV Show of the moment? 

Now, I tag ALL of you! I want to read lots of responses! Leave the link to them in the comments, and I will check them out! 

Hope you all have a great afternoon! xx
