Favourites

Since I had some spare time and have a certain song in my head I thought I would answer some 'Favourites' questions, I've already answered a few before (I think), but others are new and quite a few are dependant on my mood so they may have changed. I tried to stick to one favourite per question but I couldn't so here's a list.



1. What is your favourite drink?
Fizzy Drink; I am currently can't get enough of Fanta, like I just want it constantly, but that only started about 1 week or so ago, usually is Raspberry Diet Coke, I tried it on my last visit to London and its been my favourite ever since.
Hot Drink; Tea with honey and milk, Green tea or Hot Chocolate
Still Drink; Juice, Cherry juice, Raspberry + Cranberry juice for some reason I love it, my teeth not so much.


2. What is your favourite song at the moment?
Since I love music from pretty much any genre there's quite a few however I can narrow it down(ish).
McFly Song; Obviously
Musical Song: Slipping through my fingers - Mamma Mia
Acoustic - Sometimes its Hard - Jamie Lawson
Rock(is)- She moves in her own way - The Cooks
Honey I'm Good - Andy Grammer

Basically there isn't one it depends what mood I'm in or what's stuck in my head

3. What is your favourite book?
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I have an extract from my favourite quote tattooed on my ribs. I do love most books I read, I find it easy to fall in love with books and have done since I read Rainbow Fish but The Great Gatsby resonated somewhere within me.

4. What is your favourite colour?
I don't really have one, it is usually dependant on several things, i.e I love my Rose Gold phone but in terms of decorating/home ware I love neutrals such as greys and muted tones and as for make-up, it is dependant on the season. 

5. What is your favourite animal?
Elephant, Lion, Giraffe, Seahorse....although I have elephants scattered everywhere at uni, but I also have a seahorse tattoo. I also love dogs, mainly my dog but dogs in general, guinea pigs, I also have a cockatiel (he's grey and white with one black feather) so as you can guess I love birds (not pigeons they scare me a little when they fly near me). Essentially I should own a zoo or a farm...

6. What is your favourite perfume?
Victoria Secrets Noir Tease, Total Attraction, Endless Love and Aqua Kiss
Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream
Christina Aguilera Signature

7. What is your Favourite Food?
.Pizza Express is the only Margherita Pizza I will eat. I love Chips, Cheese and Gravy, Bacon Cheese Burger, Sour Patch Kids, Cheese Dog, back home I have a sausage roll with tomato sauce and cheese in a roll/cob/bap (whatever you want to call it), stuffing, Yorkshire puddings. I realise my standard is basically long as it has cheese its good for the majority of things.

8. What is your favourite casual clothes shop?
Primark, if that fails New Look. I used to change my style so much I could never justify spending a vast amount on clothes, plus you can't beat Primark's 300 denier black tights. I also go through shoes really quickly so for my casual day-to-day slip on shoes I'll also head to primark. I do like the style or clothes in other but considering I could change my mind by the time it comes to wearing the item again a year later I can't justify spending a vast amount on clothes unless it is a statement item (i.e. a coat or black dress) I can wear it all year or along those lines.

9. What are some of your favourite TV shows?
I've binge watched all 7 series of Skins recently, I also love Friends, Mrs Browns Boys, Call the Midwife, Educating....(Yorkshire is my favourite series so far), Sherlock, Waterloo Road, Jeremy Kyle is a guilty pleasure, Hollyoaks, The Simpsons (I can recite most episodes word for word or tell you what will happen)

10. What is/are your favourite musicals?
Les Misérables, Mamma Mia, Shrek and The Addams Family 


11. What is your favourite film(s)?
Pretty much all Disney films,  Harry Potter series (Prisoner of Azkaban has always been my favourite) and The Addams Family

So they're my current favourites, some of them have never changed and have been my favourite for as long as I can remember, some change daily like my favourite songs.

UPDATE No2: 20 Things To Do Before I Turn 20

In my last update I said I had either completed or started number 5 which was to see 5 new things, I had started number 12 which was tracing my family tree, I had begun 13 by feeling nostalgic and reliving childhood memories and finally I started to stand up for what I believe in which also allowed me to tick off number 18. That also meant I was also 1/5 of the way through my list. Since that update I have managed to tick of some more things on my list.

The first one I managed to tick off my list was number 2, since going back to university, I have started a new sport and I love it so much, I never associated P.E or sport with relaxing because I just never really found a sport I liked that much in Secondary School. For at least 1 hour of the week I can forget the stress or worries I have and just have fun and relax which is actually bliss.

I have also vaguely ticked number 4 off, I did try a new food (a cannoli, better than I ever imagined and have been wanting to try this since my obsession with the Cake Boss series'), however I can pronounce that and do still want to try food I wouldn't usually eat.

I have also started number 7, I still keep getting mini break outs however I have found make up products that don't seem too heavy and skin care that doesn't seem to be having an adverse impact on my skin so I'm hoping that will improve some more.

The final two I have managed to tick of were relax, get out of my comfort zone and write letters, I still get stressed however I have found some relaxing scents, relaxing tea etc. so it is slowly improving, I also feel like I get the most stressed at night so try and de-stress the most here, I also feel as if coming back to uni, having to walk further to and from uni, finding a sport I enjoy etc. has helped improve things as well by making me have more time in the day to think and plan ahead, waking up earlier etc. In terms of getting out of my comfort zone, I am pretty much a jeans sort of girl and I always love the idea of dresses and skirts but I'm simply not used to them, but since coming to uni I have not only wore my old skirts/dresses what I had but I've also bought some new ones and I'm wearing them on a pretty regular basis. I also have started writing letters so that can also be ticked off.

So in total I have now ticked off 10 of my 20 things, which means I am half way through my list with 4 months and 16 days left. I will ideally update this after Christmas provided I've actually ticked off more things.
