15 Question Tag

Today I'm going to be doing the 15 Question Tag and I don't know if I've done it before as the questions do seem familiar but I looked on this blog and couldn't find it so maybe I done it on my old blog- I don't really know.

What’s a nickname only your family calls you?
My family don't have a nickname for me (we're not a family that does nicknames) and none of my friends have a nickname for me.

What’s a weird habit of yours?
I leave way too early to go somewhere as I hate being late so I'll always be that person that arrives super early.

Do you have any weird phobias?
I'm scared of balloons popping but I think that's quite common and I also have a phobia of rollercoasters, especially after the accident at Alton Towers. 

What’s a song you secretly love to blast & belt out when you’re alone?
It's always my favourite song at the moment so right now I would belt out Tears by Clean Bandit and Louisa Johnson but sometimes I will sing a random song that pops into my head.

What’s one of your biggest pet peeves?
People being late- I can't stand it!

What’s one of your nervous habits?
I start talking really quietly, I shake and I keep saying erm even if I know what to say.  

What side of the bed do you sleep on?
I have a single bed so I just sleep in the middle of it. 

What was your first stuffed animal & what was its name?

I had a pink bear which was called Pinky because 4 year old me couldn't think of any proper names and pink was (and still is) my favourite colour.

What's the drink you ALWAYS order at Starbucks?

I don't go to Starbucks often but I always get a cold drink as I'm not that much of a fan of their hot drinks.

What's the beauty rule you preach.. but never ACTUALLY practice?

Lining your lips before applying lipstick- I always say I'm going to do it but when it comes to it I forget. 

Which way do you face in the shower? 

Towards the water and the taps.

Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'? 

Sadly no.

What's your favourite 'comfort food'/food thats 'bad' but you love to eat it anyways? 

All my favourite foods are bad but I still eat it anyway and I don't really have a comfort food as I will eat anything sweet which I can find.

What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?

Goals or a hashtag- usually what the trendy saying is. Or I always call people tramps if I'm annoyed at someone.

Time to sleep- what are you ACTUALLY wearing?

Top and pyjama bottoms.

That was the 15 Question Tag and hopefully you've learnt something new about me. I'm not going to tag anyone in particular as anyone can do it. Let me know in the comments below what tags you would like me to answer next.

14 Signs You Love Stationery

If you are a stationery addict like me you will know these signs but if your not sure whether you are a stationery addict or not read this post and see whether you can relate to these or not. 

1. You have a notebook for every little thing

I need a notebook for lists, a notebook for my shopping lists, I need a notebook for my handbag...

2. You need every notebook you see and think to yourself 'I know I can find a use for this delightful beauty'

'Even though I don't need it now I will need it soon' 

3. That fangirl moment when you see there's multiple colours of your favourite pen

'I NEED THEM NOW'

4. You have to buy every pack of stickers you see even when you have more than a 3 year old

For your planners and journalling obviously

5. You have every type of pen there is and still think you don't have enough

'I think I need more pens' 

6. Post-It Notes are your bae and have them in every single colour

'I'll just write that down on a Post-It note'

7. Lists are also your bae and there is always one on your desk

'Just need to tick that off'

8. Washi tape is also your bae and you use it on every piece of paper you use to 'jazz it up a bit'

'This piece of paper just needs a bit of colour to jazz it up a bit' 

9. The only reason you like back to school is the stationery shopping as everywhere comes out with their cutest stationery ever.

'More stationery! Yasss!'

10. You have a lot of requirements for your ideal pencil case

'This one is too big, this one is too small, this one won't fit my scientific calculator in'

11. You buy planners at random times of the year because 'they look cute'
