All about me: 25 Questions

Hi guys! I decided to do a different kind of blog post this week. I’ve never really wrote anything about myself or introduced myself properly so I thought i’d do a 25 questions/25 facts about me post!!

1) What is your name? My name, in case you hadn’t already guessed is Louise. I don’t like being called Louise though, I prefer Lou. Working with children though, I get all kind of variations – Aweez, Wooeez, Weezy, Lou Lou and Eez are just a few of many!

2) What was your favourite subject at school? I’ve always loved English!! I was always much better at English than I was at Maths and I did really well in my GCSE exams. I also loved Child Development and it’s what made me know I wanted to work with children. Here I am, 7 years later still studying it!!

3) What is your favourite drink? I’m a pepsi max/diet coke addict!

4) What is your favourite food? Chocolate! I could literally just eat it all day everyday and never get fed up! I am good though and only eat it a couple of times a week! I also love Pizza, Fruit & Chicken – especially from Nandos! Yum! I’m hungry now!!

5) What is your favourite song? My absolute all time favourite song is The Words – Christina Perri, it’s so beautiful! I love pretty much any type of music though from cheesy 90s pop music to heavy metal, i’m so random haha!

6) Favourite Book of all time? Such a hard choice, I have so many!! I’d say my favourite is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, purely because i’ve read it at least 20 times and I love it even more every time I do!

7) Favourite Colour? I love Purple and Yellow! 

8) Favourite Perfume? Daisy by Marc Jacobs – I love it so much!

9) Are you married? Nope, but i’ve been with my lovely boyfriend Dan for almost 4 and a half years!

10) Have you ever been out of the country? If so how many times? Yep, I look forward to my holidays so much, I’ve been abroad about 10 times, mainly to various places in Spain and Greece! I’d love to branch out a bit more though and I’m currently planning a trip to New York City for my 25th birthday next year!!

11) How many siblings do you have? Just one, a younger Brother called Luke.

12) What is your favourite shop? 99% of my wardrobe is from New Look!

14) When was the last time you cried? Erm.. it may or may not have been when I was watching Once Upon a Time the other day..

15) Favourite Movie? I physically can’t pick a single favourite movie because I have so many! I love Disney (Snow White and Beauty and the Beast being my faves), Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and RomComs/Romantic Movies!

16) Favourite TV show? Jeez, that’s a tough one, I have no idea! Lol, Once Upon a Time is without a doubt my favourite tv show. I only discovered it last year and since then I binged watched it all, cried over it many many times, became obsessed, spent money on loads of merchandise & basically allowed it to take over my life!! I seriously love it soooo much, I can’t explain!! 🙂 I also love Friends, House, Gavin and Stacey, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.

17) Can you cook? I can, nothing too exotic though haha! My boyfriend says I make the best cheese toasties in the world though & I made a very delicious Victoria Sponge Cake today!

18) Can you drive? Yeahh! I passed my driving test last year after putting it off for so long & it’s the best thing i’ve ever done!

19) Do you have a job? Yes. I’ve worked in a PreSchool for 4 years and I love it so much, it’s so rewarding! I’m the room leader too and I love the people I work with, including my Momma!

20) Favourite Celebrity? The 3 Jennifers – Jennifer Morrison, Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Anniston! I also love Josh Dallas and Colin O’Donoghue *swoon* 🙂 Plus basically the entire cast of Once Upon a Time!

21) How old are you? I’m 23 but I look about 15/16!

22) When is your birthday? The 12th of November 🙂

23) Any bad habits? Over thinking things, worrying and stressing!!

24) What is you biggest fear? I have a huge fear of dying and losing people I love 😦 I’m also pretty terrified of small spaces, snakes, ambulances and, the weirdest one of all – Baked Beans?! They freak me out, the texture of them and they taste like rubber! If I ever wash up and someone’s eaten them and they’re floating round the bowl, bleurghhhhhh! *gags*

25) Your biggest dream? I’d love to go to America, especially New York City and Florida/Disney World!!

 

So that’s al! I hope you enjoyed reading it and I didn’t bore you too much! 🙂

A much younger me, I was about 4 or 5 here! (I still don’t look much older than this!!)

Fairytale Beginnings:Book Review

Fairytale Beginnings by Holly Martin

“but despite all our problems, I know we are supposed to be together, I know you are my soul mate”

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!! I actually said to myself when I was reading it: “i’m sure this book was written for me” because it was literally as though everything I love/possibly obsess over?! was put together, and this was the beautiful outcome!! I’m a huge disney and Once Upon a Time fan and this story just made me smile so much!!

I loved it from the minute I started reading it & I fell in love with Clover Castle as soon as it was described – “it was magical and arrogant and wonderful all at the same time..”. I’m ashamed to say that I live in the same town as a castle which i’ve never been inside of – shame on me!! I feel like after reading this story, I need to visit more places like this and discover just how beautiful they can be!!

I loved the characters in the story. Milly again reminded me of myself quite a lot – someone who obsessed with Disney, who dreams of happy endings and romance & who’s possibly not quite ready to “grow up”. I’ll be honest I wasn’t a fan of Cameron at first but that soon changed and I began shipping them both quite early on! Olivia though – yuk!! I took an instant dislike to her and I knew she was up to something straight away. I love how the story was like a Disney film in itself; two lovers, a villian, a magical castle & most importantly – a happy ending!! 🙂

What i also adored about this book is the little bit of mystery in it! I found myself not wanting to put it down because I was so eager to find out all about the legacy and all the secrets of Clover Castle! It reminded me of my beloved Once Upon a Time so much!!

Would I recommend this book? – Definitely, 100%!! If you’re a disney/ouat fan, or just a lover of Happy Endings and a bit of romance, there’s no doubt that you’ll love this book, it’s just magical and it’ll definitely make you smile!!

My Rating? – 5* Holly Martin really is an incredible author and I can’t wait to read more of her books this year! Note to self not to read one when i’m busy with Uni work though – I get so sucked into her books that it’s impossible to concentrate on anything else!! 🙂 I just love them!!

Thanks for reading guys!! 🙂
