11 things about myself 

1. I always cry at applause. Whether its curtain call of any show, someone wins something or even if someone in a book receives a lot of applause. I just cry away!

2. I dropped art in school as soon as I could, now I love all things art and wish I hadn't dropped it. 

3. I love playing board games.

4. I hate cooking, but love looking at food magazines/recipes. I like to think that I can make them if I wanted to :)

5. I love buying storage containers. You can never have too many!

6. I am horrible at saving money, but I am getting much better thankfully!

7. I love astronomy, ballet, graphic design and hiking, but no one would know unless I told them. 

8. I hate when people read over my shoulder when writing blog posts. I dont care once it's written and posted, but I make people wait until its up before letting them read it! 

9. Purple is my favorite color and green is my least favorite. 

10. I havent had caffeine since I was 12 (except once, i was drunk and accidentally drank some Woodstock which has Coca Cola in it!) 

11. I hate getting fresh flowers. I would much prefer a seedling that I can grow myself! My boyfriend is definitely happy about that! 

11 questions by Sabrina!

1- What's your favorite book?

Very difficult question! If just a quick read, Love Letters by Katie Fforde is great, if a more serious long read, I prefer classic literature like Emma or Gone With The Wind. I also love How To Be An Explorer of the World by Keri Smith. Such a book to get you out of your comfort zone!

2- Have you ever wished you were born in another time period? If so, when?

All the time!! I love the 50's and 60's and while I am glad that I can have a job as a woman, I love the time when women just looked after the house and the family. I love wearing big dresses and hats, and I wish everyone knew how to dance like they did on those days. I love watching movies from that time. 

3- Describe your morning routine on a Saturday.

It quite often depends. Usually, Its my day off work, so I am usually sleeping in as much as possible! I dont have much of a routine cause my work shifts get changed around constantly, but I'm sure once I get set shifts, then my routines will go back to normal! 

4- What do you cook (or eat) when you don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen?

A lot of omelettes! I am not a very good cook, so I mainly make omelettes, eggs, pasta bakes or cheese sandwiches! (Healthy, I know!) 

5- What's a good movie you've seen lately?

I like the movie Anna Karenina, how it was filmed is very clever and an interesting time period. Another great movie is Robot and Frank. I like to watch movies that have symbolism in each scene, and Robot and Frank doesnt really have that, so once I stopped looking for what each scene meant and just watched it, it was very enjoyable!

6- What's your favorite scent?

Vanilla!! I absolutely love the smell of vanilla. Whenever I got angry when I was younger, I would always quick sniff some vanilla essence and all my anger left! It was my life-saver. :) 

7- Coffee or tea?

Green Tea!! I dont drink caffeine, so I will always choose decaf teas. I love the smell of coffee, but I hate the taste of it! 

8- What is your greatest accomplishment?

I have a lot of little accomplishments that all make up who I am, so i would say I have just one great accomplishment, but little things like finishing high school successfully, selling some of my art, and starting this blog. 

9- What is your favorite season, and why?

I love the cold! I especially love the snow, so winter! But I do love the colors of autumn and the flowers/new growth with spring. I dont really like much about summer, apart from that I can wear skirts and dresses, which I love :) 

10- Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Introvert! I have never been an 'out-there' person, and there are times that I just like to be by myself, so I would say I am an introvert. 

11- What is your favorite color to wear?

I love the color purple, and my boyfriend likes me wearing purple, so I do wear a lot of that, but people have said that wearing red makes my blue eyes a lot bluer, so a lot of the time I wear red! I interchange between those usually!!
