Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 7: What made me start blogging?

Hi everyone,

A week into #blogtober16! October is already going so quickly, it's scary to think where 2016 has gone.

Anyway todays post is about my blogging journey and what made me start blogging.

To be honest my reason is as basic as ever.

The reason I started blogging was because I loved to read other blogs and their opinions on things. It made me want to express my own and that's why I started my blog.

I also wanted to start doing something as a hobby and I loved the idea of blogging.

If you haven't started blogging and you're reading this, blog because you want to.

QOTD: Why did you start blogging? Or if you haven't started a blog what makes you want to start one?

Itsatashathing: My bucket list

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share with you the things I really want to do and get out of my life, so I thought I would make a bucket list post. This could be anything from places I really want to go to, things I want to do or things I want to achieve. I can then write about them once I have (or if) I achieve them and share with you my experience. This way we can go on a little journey together. I will also update the list and make you aware each time something new comes up. I'm sure as I enter parenthood I will have a lot more goals and wishes in my life.

1. Visit the Harry Potter studio tour around Christmas time. This is because I would really like to see the set dressed up for Christmas.
2. Go to New York at Christmas. It just seems like a fairy-tale
3. Continue my blog and just stick with it. I love writing my blog, I feel like it's a complete getaway for me.
4. Have the perfect wedding. I see myself getting married in a lovely church or castle, surrounded by the people we love the most. having lovely pictures taken afterwards and then on to a lovely reception.
5. Go on holiday to Florida. It's always been my dream to go to Disney world and have a magical time. Especially since Harry Potter world was made.
6. Visit Ireland. I've always wanted to visit Ireland.
7. To document as much as I can of our little girls life. Those early days are priceless and days you can never get back. I want to make the most of them and make something for us to remember them by and to show her when she's older.
8. To reach 1000 followers! I honestly don't know what I would do if this happened, other then throw a massive giveaway.
9. Start a YouTube account. I think I am a little to nervous to do this at the moment but I'm working on my nerves.
10. Go swimming with dolphins. This is something I have always wanted to do and haven't been able to do so yet.
11. Become a make-up artist. Again it has always been something I have wanted to do but never known how to achieve it.
12. Do a charity run/walk. I don't mind for which charity as long as it goes to a good cause.
13. Complete a reading list. I haven't actually completed a reading list but now I have started blogging I feel I should.
14. Have a day trip in London sight seeing with baby when she is old enough. I was about 12 when I experienced London for the first time (in the respect of sight seeing) but I feel it would be even more exciting when you are younger.
15. Prefect the art of cake making. Not to blow my own trumpet but I am not to bad at making cakes but I would like to make the extravagant ones.
16. To be able to forget any past unhappiness and focus on the future. A lot of my anxiety is from past experiences, I don't really talk about this on my blog because I want to show the happy me. However, if it's something you would like to know about let me know. It's not that bad it's just things I find hard to let go of and they end up in the way of my adult life.
17. Go on a Family Picnic. I love picnics and to do this as a family would e lovely. I have a few memories of them as a child so I want the same for my little girl.
18. Have a race track experience. I would love to go in a Ferrari around Silverstone race track.
19. Go to a blogging meet up. I would love to meet other bloggers.
20. Own my own home. I would love to one day own my own house.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this. I dare say I will be adding to it over time as I think of more things I would like to do and get out of my life.

What's on your bucket list?

Itsatashathing: The life in letters tag

Hi everyone,

It's my last day on holiday and I'm feeling the holiday blues already. It's been a lovely couple of weeks away and I've really enjoyed my time here in Tenerife. We're already planning to come back again, hopefully with a third member. 

I found the life in letters tag from dainty and Ivory (I've linked her blog below). So I  thought why not challenge myself to do it. So here it is:

A is for Aron, my boyfriend who is my world and I couldn't live without (also daddy to be).

B is for blanket. If I'm on the sofa watching TV, reading a book or doing a kriss cross puzzle, I feel naked without a blanket on. B could also be for blog as I am loving finding new things to write about.

C is for cake! I love cake! Chocolate, Victoria sponge cake, cupcakes or just any cake makes me happy.

D is for dogs. Dogs have to be one of my favourite animals.

E is for elevator. In the UK we call it a lift but I couldn't think of another one for E and I am petrified of them.

F is for family. I am a very family orientated person. I love my family and wouldn't be where I am today without them.

G is for glasses. I have to wear glasses for many different things but I never wear them. I really should as I can tell my eyes are getting worse.

H is for Harry Potter. I couldn't not put this in being the big fan I am.

I is for ice cream. I love ice cream in particular Ben and Jerry's.

J is for Jack Wills. I love this shop and have done for years. 

K is for kinder. I love kinder chocolate especially kinder eggs and kinder Bueno (I'm a big kid).

L is for listener. I like to think I am a good listener and I think I am good at giving advice.

M is for MAC. MAC is my favourite brand of makeup. I'm planning on going back to have another make over done. Or M could be for makeup in general!

N is for Nutella! I love this stuff! I would have Nutella on everything if I could.

O is for observe. I don't think I do this enough. I don't think I sit there and just take in what's around me. Things change to quickly and things get replaced or taken away. So I need to start taking a step back and observe my surroundings some more.

P is for pregnant. I am currently in my second trimester and I'm feeling okay. I'm planning on doing a pregnancy update soon but (touch wood) I haven't had any sickness since my very early stages.

Q is for quilt cover. I love buying new covers, I always find lovely ones in Primark.  

R is for reading. I love to read and I'm always on the look out for a good book. Let me know your favourite or what you're reading now, I like to read any genre.

S is for strawberries, my absolute favourite fruit and one of my cravings during my pregnancy.

T is for time. As I'm getting older (says the 20 year old) I'm stating to realise just how precious time is and that there isn't a lot of it.

U is for up. The way things are going. 

V is for Victoria's Secret. I spend way too much time in this shop, so many pretty things.

W is for winter. I love winter getting to wrap up in jumpers and scarfs. But the best bit about winter is Christmas, my favourite time of the year. Not to mention our baby will be here in time for Christmas this year. 

X is for X-Ray. I have had X-Ray's on my knees, mouth, wrist and ankles.

Y is for yes. A word I either say too much or not enough.

Z is for Zara. My new favourite shop. I brought a couple of bits on holiday and will show them in a haul post.

Some of the letters I really struggled to find something for but I made it and if you've made it to here thank you and comment 'I made it' so you can show you are a trooper!

It's a Tasha Thing: a fresh start!

Hi,

Feeling I neglected my last blog, I feel it's time to set up a new one and start something that I am going to stick at. I'm going to kick things of with a little bit about me:

Name: Tasha

Height: 5' nothing 

Hair Colour: blonde

Eye colour: blue

Interests/hobbies: I am a crazy make up and beauty hoarder. If I see something I like chances are I'm going to pick it up and put it in my basket. I like reading (any genre), watching films (again any genre) and trying out new makeup looks and trends. 

This blog will be the same as my old one about beauty, makeup and life. I hope you enjoy :)
