Hello, if you want to know, I am a very happy bunny and I couldn't wait to post this! I only just found out earlier in the week that a trusty reader/fellow blogger (I will mention you, don't worry) had nominated me for the Liebster tag award. The Liebster award is an award (I know I'm so clever!) that is given/voted for by bloggers for other bloggers - or at least that's what I've made of it. Once you are tagged and nominated, you then need to nominate more bloggers. You are also given a set of questions to answer in a blog post which I'm also excited about as I've always wanted to do a Q&A!
I was nominated by Rose from Kisses Rose who has a wonderful blog and you should definitely check it out!
Right, let's get cracking... (too early for Easter jokes?)
What is your favourite season?
My favourite season is probably autumn because I love when the leaves start to fall off the trees and it turns the whole place into a colourful rainbow of gold, orange, red, green and brown. It's also when it starts feeling a bit more cosy inside because I can finally drink hot chocolate again and wear huge, over-sized jumpers. I love hot weather (fingers crossed this summer, UK) but it's just not the same as loading up on hundreds of warm layers!
What was your least favourite age to be?
Honestly? I would have to say the teenage years in general. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm still a teenager now but I've had to (and will probably still have to) get past a lot of things. When you're around 12 you are usually starting secondary school, in year 10/11 the pressure of exams and coursework come along (yep, I'm in that category unluckily) and somewhere in the midst of all that puberty hits you like a ton of bricks! Along with that you are busy trying to keep up friendships. I just think that the teenage is a very messy and muddled up age to be.
If you could learn a new language, what would it be?
It would have to be Italian! I've always loved the culture of Italy and was very interested in it since quite young. Having finally been to Italy (around this time last year) I love it even more! Italian food is amazing as well... pasta, pizza, gelato... yum! If you want to find out more about my trip to Italy then there were two posts that were probably posted between March/April 2015.

What shop do you buy most of your clothes from?
If you hadn't guessed already from some of my shopping hauls, I don't really get designer things and tend to go for everyday clothing shops like Primark, New Look, Matalan (beware I have a post coming up on one of them!) I like to find clothes that look really good for my style and fit well but at the same time hopefully most people could afford. That way when people compliment me on my clothes and ask where they're from I can say I got them from one of these shops and let them be surprised! Believe me, it's happened before!
What's your favourite board game?
This is a really hard question for me because I have a love-hate relationship with board games! I hate losing! But I'm going to go for the classic Monopoly because the first time I played it I won! I haven't won since then but we won't go into detail about that... *cough* cheaters *cough*
Why do you blog?
I started blogging in 2014 because I wanted to try out something different that I could really get a lot of fun out of and that would show a side to me that I didn't used to really show to anyone. Then I realised that I loved the idea of blogging which made sense because I enjoy writing and I think in a very creative way. Although I was considering expressing this completely different side to me that not many people knew at the time to the whole world, when I started actually making posts I noticed how it had become something that separated me from my reality which was where bad days happened and teachers annoyed me.
I'm not saying my life wasn't (and isn't) enjoyable and I love spending time with my family and close friends and even the smallest of things can make me happy now but I can be really miserable (my mum would agree!) especially after a long, tiring day and blogging really excites me once I start typing. A year ago roughly, I started properly getting to grips with blogging and now I can take a whole morning just getting the photos right and then I spend several evenings trying to write up a post! This is what I find fun and I don't know what I would want to waste my time on if I didn't blog.

What was the first thing you did this morning when you woke up?
Well today was a boring school day so I had to wake up at 6:00am to the Kiss radio station - no ad - and get dressed in a horrible school uniform. Even if Justin Bieber's songs are pretty cool right now, it still doesn't motivate you to get out of bed that early on a Friday morning when you know you have a hour and a half exam that you are in no way ready for. Trust me.
What was the best holiday you ever went on?
I'm not sure because I been on a lot of lovely holidays to be honest! I've already mentioned my first time abroad to Italy and technically that wasn't meant to be a holiday (kind of was though) because it was a school trip so I won't go into that although it was AMAZING. I think I will go with the most recent one which was last summer and we went to Derbyshire and got to go on cool walks and stay in a really nice cottage with a metal spiral staircase going up. Even if the room my brother and I shared had a bad connection to Wi-Fi!
If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?
Well, I'm already sat on my bed in my PJs (I'm lazy, I know) so my second choice would have to be sitting in the corner of a small, cosy café with a mug full of hot chocolate cupped in between my hands and chatting to one of my closest friends. We would probably be talking about the most random of things!
Do you have any pets?
I have two guinea pigs who are sisters, called Caramel and Lolly. You can tell which one is which because Caramel has a huge patch of brown on her side and Lolly has a tiny black dot just above the middle of her eyes. They are honestly the chubbiest balls of fluff I've ever known and I love them so so SO much! Whenever I need a bit of light relief I know can play with them and stroke their furry little backs forever! <3 Cheesy much??
Two very sleepy guinea pigs (they made the mess, not me!)
Do you play any sports?
I am a very lazy person so no, I don't play any sports properly but don't worry I do still exercise sometimes, I'm not that bad! I do PE (yes, maybe because it's a rule!) twice a week in school and I do random things at home like dancing crazily, hula-hooping and skipping - yes I am a real child! I did also join the gym recently and was getting good at going once every week but my knee has decided to mess itself up (again!) so I probably won't be going until after the Easter holidays at least...
That was all for this week's post, I hope you liked reading my answers to the questions as much as I liked answering them. As I said before, I've always wanted to do something like this so its been a good opportunity! For now though, post soon xx
