October! Not only is Autumn in full swing around here but in the blogosphere, it’s Blogtober! Blogtober is basically a-blog-a-day! I’ll be blogging about a variety of subjects, every day throughout this month.
Now on to Day 1 of this challenge…October is one of my favorite months. It’s when the colours start to change and there is a crispness in the air that just smells like Autumn! I like pulling out my scarves and my boots and sweaters. Lighting a crazy amount of candles and drinking my weight in Pumpkin Spice Latte. This time last year I was the size of a house due to growing a tiny human.
So, welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere and welcome to the first day of #Blogtober18! As an introduction to me and my blog, “Simply Together”, I thought I’d share 10 Facts About me;
1. I was born in Newcastle, England but I don’t have the Geordie accent.
2. Liam and I have been together for nearly 4 years. We met through friends and I accidentally and rather drunkenly gave him the wrong number the night we had our first kiss, NYE 2014. We didn’t start dating until the March.
3. I won the award for ‘Biggest Flirt’ In my year 11 year book. Ha!
4. Through out my teen years I suffered with an eating disorder. It was a long and hard road. Although my relationship with food is still quite a negative one at times, I have been at a healthy weight for a long time now. Since having Molly I have really struggled with the way I look, but have decided I’m in no rush to loose the weight. I eat healthy and exercise and it is coming off slowly. To be honest, it’ll come off when it comes off. I’ll get fat again when we have more children anyway and I’m ok with that!
5. I have an unhealthy obsessions with Holidays. Christmas being my favorite followed closely by Halloween. I go all out for every single one. Now that I have Molly, it’s even more of an excuse to go bat shit crazy with decorations and themed activities!
6. My go to drink when out is Sambucca and lemonade. Double shot of Sambucca in a pint glass, filled to the top with lemonade. Do judge it, try it!!
7. It’s no secret that Disney is a very big part of my life. From being obsessed with it growing up, to working on the ships. I have plush toys, More mugs than you could ever think of and random bits and bobs here and there. When I was a teen I loved Tinkerbell. I had many Tink items Including a Tink snow globe bought by my boyfriend at the time and I still have it to this day. She is secretly still my favorite pixie. I have passed down my love for Disney to Molly and so far so good!
8. I don’t really have a taste in music. I prefer heavier music, but If I like it, I’ll listen to it. My playlist can go from Hawaiian roller-coaster ride from Lilo and stitch to Dead by April.
9. I have a weird fear, more of a dislike of Balloons. Not to sure why. I just don’t like them. The feel of them makes me cringe and I hate when they pop. Again, please don’t judge!
10. I have a love for so many weird and wonderful things. I get called a nerd on a regular basis. From all things Disney and Harry Potter to Studio Ghibli and everything in between. I enjoy playing the PS4 and even nerding out on the old school Nintendo 64 every now and then.
