What Makes Me Happy
Why hello there! It occurred to me the other day that I haven't really written much about myself, only on fashion and what's on trend. So today I thought it would be nice to share with you, some of the things that make me happy.
1. First up, one of the things that really makes me smile has to be when one of my four cats (and yes, they are rather a handful!) chooses to sit on my lap. There is nothing quite like the feeling of being chosen. It is such a privilege and it happens so very rarely it is a moment I have to saver for as long as possible by trying to not move a muscle. Everything stops when I become a bed for one of my babies.
3. Finding incredible bargains is one of my absolute favourite things. I love it when I'm flicking through a clothes rack and find something cool, only to find that it is half price! I'm going to be honest with you, I rarely buy anything full price! I just can't help myself when I see a good old bargain. It's straight in the basket for me.
4. Me and my sister get on really well (but my god, she can be annoying!) and I love how we can just sit in silence. It's lovely to be so close to someone that you don't need to try hard or be someone else around them. We can sit for hours like this, especially when we are knackered from a long day at school.
7. Knowing that I've done myself proud. A few weeks back, I received my National 5 exam results and I am so so happy with what 1 got. It's the best feeling ever, knowing that all the work and time you put in really paid off. I still cant quite believe how well I did!
8. Nothing beats when you hear a new song - it could be in a shop, from a TV show or recommended by a friend - that you absolutely adore. I love finding new music to listen to as when I find a song I like, I will not stop playing it and then I tend to get bored of it very quickly. If you know of any good tunes please do send them over to me, I am always in need of a new playlist!
9. Something I really love is when people - complete strangers or friends of years - praise me for my style. Many people are surprised at my use of colour and dramatic frills and always wonder how I incorporate them into my wardrobe as they are afraid they wouldn't be able to pull it off. I tell them anyone can make their style more interesting if they add different items in gradually!
10. I love my mums cooking. Quite often, as soon as I get home from school I ask what we are having to eat later that evening. She makes the best Spaghetti Bolognese and let me tell you, nothing will beat her roast potatoes!

2. I absolutely love it when I turn up at school feeling like I'm still asleep and my best friend comes bouncing over to me and starts telling me about that obscure dream she had last night. It wakes me up as I cant help but laugh. This is almost an everyday routine. I, myself tend to not remember my own dreams so instead I have Anna's to replace them. You wouldn't believe the things she dreams about!

5. I can't get enough of baking and cooking puddings right now. It's my passion. I love using new recipes and mixing them together to create the most delicious bakes. When I bite into some lemon drizzle cake or take a spoonful of Panna Cotta, it's like all my worries go away! It may seem like I'm a right fatto but I don't care because really, what is better than a good Victoria sponge?
6. My dad has silly nicknames for everything and my one is Lala. It makes me feel so happy when he squeezes my shoulder and calls me this. Dad often works long days and I tend to only really see him in the evenings so this really makes me feel very happy.
