Questions from 

1. What made you want to blog?

I wanted to write about the things I do, as I like reading what other people do! I also thought it would be a good opportunity to make some friends :)

2. What is your favourite possession?

My teddies from when I was a baby.. they are so special to me!

3. If you had to move countries tomorrow, where would you move to?

Ooooh... this is hard! I would love to live somewhere that I've never been like New Zealand or Fiji. Or I'd love to live in a wooden lodge in the Grand Canyon because that is the most amazing place I have ever been! 

4. What is your favourite inspirational quote?

My parents have always told me 'everything happens for a reason' so I guess that is one thing I always take inspiration from and believe in.

5. What is your favourite dessert?

I like Panna cotta, and mango sorbet... maybe not together though!

6. Why did you start blogging?

I kind of answered this in the first question so I stole the 6th question Leyla answered.... 6. What's your 'blogging goal'? I guess its just to keep it up... I want to make sure I keep writing my blog and not just stop!

7. What made you come up with the idea for your first blog post?

I finished the book and decided that I wanted to start writing about the books that I read... the blog has kind of evolved into more of a lifestyle blog from there as I don't read enough books to keep a blog going on that alone.. I'd post once every 3 weeks haha!!!

8. What is your favourite blog?

I really love Cider With Rosie and The Londoner. Inspirational lifestyle blogs.
9. If you had to be stuck with three celebrities on a desert island, who would you pick?

Jennifer Lawrence... she's just amazing and I may have a slight hunger games obsession so she would be a helpful person to have haha! Ryan Reynolds because I feel like he would probably cheer me and my mate Jen up... and Dan Smith from Bastille.. he can sing to us.

10. What is your favourite shop to visit?

I love going to Cath Kidston and wishing I had all the money in the world haha. At the risk of sounding like my Dad I like to go to garden centres and look at all the house holdy gifty stuff.
