I'm weird because...

Ok I love these sorts of posts. Its easy and give you a bit more incite on how I see myself, I sometimes find out some thing new along the way. I got this off of Dorkfaces blog which I love! Go check it out! Any way onto the questions!




I'm weird because...
  1. I prefer staying in to going out, I could stay in everyday for at least a week before I need to get "fresh air"
  2. When I'm reading or playing a game, the world around me disappears completely and I forget where I am sometimes and it can take someone shouting in my face to get me to come back to reality.
  3. I like to listen to music in the bathroom. Even if I don't need to go to the toilet. I just sit in there with the door locked and listen.






I'm a bad friend because...
  1. I'm an introvert, I don't like going out and I don't really like people coming round. As soon as people are in my flat I want them out. Nothing personal I just like my space.
  2. You may not hear from me for lengths of time unless you contact me first.
  3. I don't share, so if we're getting a pizza you will have to order your own cause you can have any of mine.





I'm a good friend because...
  1. Even though I'm an introvert if you need me I will be there straight away.
  2. I will listen to you and if you want it I can offer advice but if you don't I will just listen.
  3. I understand when people want sometime apart and sometimes friends don't get it. I won't come hounding your door way if you've asked for time with family, bf or whatever.





I'm sad because...
  1. It hasn't snowed yet and I like snow and the world stopping because people can't handle it.
  2. I don't like having to receive certain benefits, even if it means I can eat for another week.
  3. I can never make up my mind what I want to do with my hair





I'm happy because...
  1. My little boy is developing so well and is such a cheeky beautiful boy 😊
  2. I have a loving husband who makes me feel beautiful all the time
  3. I have an incredibly supportive and loving family and I know I am extremely happy to have it.






I'm excited because...






  1. My little boy is turning one soon and I'm having a little party for him (me)
  2. I'm enjoying doing my blog and the response I've been having so far!
  3. I have been designing my tattoo for Jack and its looking awesome 😁
So there you have it! I really enjoyed doing this though found thinking of anything sad really difficult as I'm in a happy place right now and intend to stay there!


Thanks for reading! I hope you do this post as well its so fun, let me know if you do! Don't forget to leave me a comment and a link to your blog so I can have a good read and will be fixing up my page a bit more so there's some links to my different sites. Thanks guys.

Blogger

I'm going to go ahead and start of by saying I am not an expert at blogging. This is my 4th attempt at trying to start one, I think it did well but I got bored.
Unfortunately it os just one of those things, unless you're really passionate about what you are writing about.


And that was my downfall before. I was trying too hard to write about things I just had no idea about so that my blog would be noticed. Yes I wear clothing mainly bought from new look but I am in no way a fashion savvy girl. I could probably guess just by taking a look on the high street what's popular but otherwise I am clueless.
I have mentioned in a previous blog post, helpfully named fashion, I was not born with the fashion gene. I like doing make up, I use to change my eye make up everyday. Hell I went to London, got into lots of debt, to do a make up course. I enjoyed it but my tutors didn't seem to... In fact they seemed l
slightly depressed on their chosen career path... Except one but she didn't seem all there to begin with. But I couldn't tell you what was trending, I could only tell you what I used ... Which wasn't and isn't a lot.


And there in lays the problem. I was trying to hard to be this beauty/ fashion blogger when that's not me. I'm an everything and anything girl. You want fashion, sure here's the Hogwarts jumper I wear more then I should. You want beauty? Well jump on in I'll show you how I put my mascara on. I'm certain its the same way you do it but you never know (everyone does it in the dark upside down right?).


But that's just a small percentage of who I am. I'm also a mum, wife, cook (don't ask anyone though they're horrid liars and will say I don't cook... ), baker, gamer, reader, crafter, slightly paranoid, collector and so much more. I doubt there's one person that knows the full bomb site that is me.
Not even me. Everyday I surprise myself by doing something I didn't think I could do or Sa something that a few years ago you wouldn't catch me saying in a ... Few years apparently. I actually stand up for what I believe in now.


I guess that's why it felt so right to restart my blog now. Because I'm more myself now then I ever have been before and what I write now is actually ... Well.. Me.


So I guess if I were to give any advice to some one starting a blog from the point of view of someone who doesn't have a clue is..


Just do it. Just write but be yourself. Write how you would say it out loud if you were talking to a friend or family member. Let some of your weirdness seep in between the lines. That way I think people will appreciate your blog more because its more personal. Its you!


And this is me.


Take it easy.
