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: #Blogtober16 Day 6: Favourite Christmas/Birthday present ever

Hi Everyone,

Day 6's post is on my most favourite Christmas or Birthday present I have ever received.

Now this is tricky as I have received so many lovely presents over the years that it's hard to pick just one.

See I love getting all the little bits like stocking fillers and Lush products. Opening my stocking on Christmas morning has to be on of the highlights of Christmas.

So I am going to have to go with a recent Christmas present from my boyfriend. He brought me a lovely silver bracelet (it looks like a traditional christening style bracelet) and engraved all around it are the words 'I love you'. It was such a lovely present to receive as I know he picked it out and it came from his heart. I'm scared to wear it in case I break it or lose it. It was our first Christmas together as well.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober Day 5: My childhood career choice

Hi everyone,

On to day 5! Today is all about what career I wanted as a child.

I never had a set career in stone but there was always the one I went back to: a make-up artist and a hairdresser.

As I mentioned in the who am I post as a child I always went round doing hair and make-up. I guess this is where this career choice stemmed from. I do regret not following this childhood dream as I still want to do these today.

Another career choice I had when I was about 12 was to be an interior designer. Seriously, I have no idea where this idea came from. I guess I liked home wear and had an eye for style. I know what I like and what goes well together.

Last but not least I wanted to be a teacher. I guess it's somewhat like I do as a career now. This came from sitting at my little desk in my bedroom and lining all my toys up and setting them 'tasks'.

QOTD: What would you're ideal career be if you could take it today?

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 4: A secret about me

Hi everyone,

It's day 4! Todays post is to share a secret about yourself.

Now I don't have many secrets about me. So I guess I'll just list some facts/truths about me.

1. I don't like coffee but I like coffee flavoured things e.g. coffee cake. How this works I don't know.
2. I really don't like being an only child. Quite frankly it sucks. If you have a problem and scared to tell your Mum or Dad, who have you got to turn to? You hear all the stories of what people used to do with their siblings and sometimes I do get a little jealous as I don't have any memories like that.
3. I am banned from colouring my hair. No bleaching, no highlights, no nothing. I would make the whole of my family upset. For some reason they love and are proud of my hair colour.
4. I also don't like apple crumble or apple pie. I think its warm cooked fruits I don't like and this time of the year that's all there seems to be. I love the smell, just not the taste. I really do not like the fact I don't like them. I would love to sit all wrapped up with a slice of apple pie and custard, instead for me it's just the custard (or I have to be the awkward one and have some alternative).
5. When I'm ill I don't follow the rules of 'eat plain foods' and when people say 'eat dry toast and crackers'. Not for me I'm afraid. So I eat what I want, if it makes me worse more fool me but if I want something I'll have it.

So not really secrets but a few truths about me.

QOTD: What secret would you share?

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 3: If I won the lottery

Hi everyone,

Day 3 of #Blogtober16 (go me!) and it's about what I would do if I won the lottery. Question is: What wouldn't I do?

Firstly, I would make sure each of my parents and grandparents had a decent amount of money, as with my boyfriends family. I would also put some in a savings account for baby. Closely followed by donating money to a selection of charities (there are so many I would donate to I would be here for ages listing them all).

Secondly, I would buy a nice house. Nothing outrageous but something with a homey and modern feel. I don't see the need for a house with 10 acres of land, 8 different bedrooms, 6 living spaces, 4 bathrooms and a massive kitchen (although the latter would be nice). Sorry, but to much house work for me. As long as there are enough bedrooms for our family, however many we may be (including a spare room for visitors), a cosy living/lounge room, dining area, play room for the little ones, a couple of bathrooms (preferably an en-suit in mine and my boyfriends room and a separate one for the children and visitors), a decent sized kitchen and not to big of a garden, I would love it. Maybe an office area as well but I could give or take that.

Then I would probably go on a shopping spree. Get new homeware items for the house and treat the family to a few bits and pieces.

The rest of it can go towards an early retirement for myself and my boyfriend to spend all the time we need with however many children we'd have at this point.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

QOTD: how do you chase away the Monday morning blues?
