73 Questions
Once again, things just haven't gone to plan.
Vlogging has just been such a pain since I said I would start trying to make a conscious effort to take my camera around with me and document my life. There have also been other circumstances (deadlines, exhaustion, mental health, etc.) that have got in the way of my aim to video stuff. But my New Years Resolution is definitely going to involve trying to at least do one video every week for you guys that contain different clips of each day.
But now I'm digressing from the original point of this post...
This post is just something fun and something for you to read over the Christmas period. It's my way of re-introducing myself to my audience, both old and potentially new, as I've just been too busy to let you look into my life over the past year. The Seventy-Three Question tag was basically introduced by Vogue and done in partnership with a load of swishy celebs like the Kardashians, Sarah-Jessica Parker, etc. I've taken questions from different interviews but unfortunately, my answers are going to be a little less glamorous...
1. What's the best thing that's happened to you this month?
Being nominated for the Deans Award at uni!
2. What's the best thing that's happened to you this year?
Going to Zakynthos. Definitely was an eye-opening experience that helped me mature.
3. What's the best thing ever?
My family, fiancé and friends!
4. Favourite season?
Autumn!
5. Favourite holiday?
Probably Oman or Turkey. Oman was amazing because we got to see so much of Muscat. Turkey was just great because I got to relax after a really shitty year.
6. Would you ever live in a big city?
Yes. I hate living in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business. I will probably end up living in a city anyway because of Tom's career. Hopefully Manchester!
7. What's your favourite ice cream?
Definitely bubblegum. If we are talking about Ben and Jerry's then it's Cookie Dough.
8. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Naaah. Depends on what type of shoes they are though because if they were expensive then yes because I don't want to scuff the back of them.
9. What's your favourite type of dessert?
Chocolate brownie.
10. Cake or pie?
Definitely cake.

Anything with mushrooms, new potatoes or anchovies.

Sky blue and basically any pastel colour.
15. What colour dress did you wear to your prom?
I never had a prom because I didn't stay at my school until 6th form, I moved to a different college. But my final House Dinner dress was a black maxi-dress with a denim jacket.
16. Blow dry or air dry?
Air dry because I'm lazy. If I need to look smart for something I will blow dry my hair though, although it takes freakin' ages because my hair is so bloody thick.
17. Do you think you're strong?
Despite using 15kg weights at the gym (haha this is probably nothing) at the gym I am incredibly weak.

27. First pet?
I had a cat called Chloe and I remember this girl in my class, called Chloe, got really annoyed because she thought I was copying her name (no, I just liked the name Chloe at the time). I was really young at the time and told my class teacher that 'Chloe climbed out of my window' and she thought I meant my classmate and not my cat...awkward.
