Hey Lovelies,

How are you all doing today? Is it all getting a bit much? I am finding myself wanting to come out of isolation, but also being afraid of what the future may bring. Thursday’s have been a tough day for me for a long time now. I don’t know why, but it has. However, with everything that we have going on at the moment, it is now even harder and stranger to handle. I am longing for the weekends, but it seems like every day is a weekend now. Who else is with me?

To try and take my mind off things and to give you all a little random insight into my life, I wanted to do a Q&A about some of the things in my life. They are all strange things to answer, but I hope that you all enjoy learning a little bit more about me…

How Tall Are You?

I am 164cm, which is 5ft 5in! One of the many things I learnt whilst in hospital aha!

Do You Have A Hidden Talent? If So, What?

I don’t think I do! I can turn my tongue sideways and am quite good at accents. But I am not sure if they are so secret.

What’s Your Biggest Pet Peeve?

I hate people that spit or chew their food loudly! Both wind me up a lot! I also don’t like it when people are rude for no reason whatsoever. Why? It takes and costs nothing to be nice and we all should be looking after each other.

What’s Your Favourite Way to Spend Your Free Time When You’re Alone?

I like to read a magazine or bake. I find both super soothing. I don’t mind being on my own and I think my head likes the quiet quite a lot, so I find doing lots of things independently quite nice. Especially embracing the quiet time at night listening to radio in bed.

If You Could Only Drink One Beverage (Besides Water) For the Rest of Your Life, What Would It Be?

I have recently been challenging myself to fruit juices and I think I could happily drink tropical juice for the rest of my life. Plus, I imagine it could be a great mixer.

What Was Your Favourite Lesson in School and Why?

I used to love film studies. It was the lesson that I felt happiest and most comfortable in. It made me confident that I could write, and I could have spent my whole school days doing lessons in just that.

If You Could Live Anywhere In The World, Where Would You Live?

Dublin is the place I would love to live in if I was to live a normal life. If I was to go all out, I would love to live in Disneyland Paris or on a cruise ship travelling the world. Don’t ask me why a cruise ship appeals to me, they just always have.

PC Or Mac?

PC! I am old school and prefer a PC over a Mac any time of the day. I will not go with anything other than a trusty HP when it comes to buying a new one. They have done me well for years.

Favourite Celebrity?

Oooo I have many, so I am going to go with the first one that came to mind, which was Melissa McCarthy. She is my ultimate hero and I must watch anything that she is in.

Who Is Your Biggest Inspiration?

My mum! Seeing the strength that she has to fight and look after us all inspires me every day. She is someone that I hope I grow up to be like. I watch her work her socks off day in and day out. She looks after me and my dad. She never moans about it. She is a real-life hero and I love her so much.

What Is Your Favourite High Street Shop?

H&M for clothes and Home Bargains for everything else! I feel like I am getting Home Bargains withdraws now. I need to go and get hand cream, eye masks and so much more to make sure my face doesn’t scare too many people when we come out of isolation.

One Thing You Are Proud Of?

Admitting I need help with battling my anorexia. Going into hospital has completely changed me as a person and being more acceptable to the fight and wanting to do it more than anything now is something, I am so proud of. I am also proud of my mum and just how amazing she is. People always say that their mum is the best one, but mine is and I am so proud that I get to call her mine.
