So being the type of person who would class their main hobbies as 'shopping' 'pinteresting' or 'going out for the day', I figured it was high time I started the lifestyle blog that I'd been dreaming of for a long time. My friends, and a quote I saw the other day that said 'there are 7 days in a week, and someday isn't one of them' finally motivated me to quit dreaming and start doing.
As an introductory post, I thought I'd list a simple 5 things about me, to kick-start this page.
1) Morning person or night owl?
I am an early riser. Although I'm quite outgoing and I love people, the idea of a late night out at a party usually ends with me pining for my bed and wishing I was snuggled up watching a movie or eating a decent dinner instead of cheap alcohol and party snacks. Whereas, I cannot seem to stop myself from waking up by 8am even on a Saturday. I don't generally get up and start my day, as I like to sit in bed browsing over a vogue with some breakfast, but I don't like to waste the morning, and I'll usually be out of bed and ready to go by 10am.
2) Tea or coffee?
Both. Is that allowed? I love a cup of tea before bed or when reading a book, but I could never pass up my enjoyment of a good cappuccino or espresso in the morning or at a coffee shop in London (my current favourite being 'notes' situated near Covent Garden).
3) Books/magazines or films/TV?
I think I'd put books and magazines way above films and TV. I love to go to the cinema or to watch a good film on the sofa, but I don't get round to it often, and sometimes I get so bored I end up switching the screen off or getting distracted by my phone. TV is definitely a no for me too, as I rarely ever watch it! This sounds like bragging but I honestly forget to watch, or loose track of TV series, and aside from the Great British Bake Off I wouldn't say there's any TV I genuinely love. Books however, I could read for hours (and yes they are always better than the film versions), and magazines are so lovely to flick through or cut out for inspiration.
4) Cooking or takeaway?
Takeaway is a rare treat in my house, so I would go with cooking 100%. The occasional Chinese or Indian is always amazing, but I always regret the amount of unhealthy greasy food I intake afterwards! I have a few recipe books that I really love to cook from, such as 'Sunday Suppers' by Karen Mordechai, and I also think that making the food is half the fun, which you miss out on when ordering food.
5) Cats or dogs?
Cats cats cats! I have nothing against dog owners, but in my opinion dogs are lovely when they are someone else's, but rather smelly and time consuming as your own! Cats however, are hilariously aloof, come and go as they please, don't smell, don't need walking, and are still adorably cute!
And there you have it! 5 pretty random things about me. Thank you for reading and I sure hope to see you here again for the first proper post.
