25 Facts About Me (Part 1)


So this '50 Facts About Me' tag has been going on for a while now, through blogs and vlogs, and I felt as though it was a handy way of letting ye know a little bit more about moi.
This is the first batch, having divided it into 2 parts because 50 is too much to read :)

So... here is the first half...

1) I'm known as 'Kayla' to my friends & family.

2) I have the worst sweet tooth, with addiction to chocolate, serious counselling-needed-chocolate-addict.

3) I believed when I was 7, after reading 'Harry Potter' that I could possibly be a witch.

4) And also 'Harry Potter' is my favorite book & film franchise.

5) My favorite food, is Irish Beef Stew.

6) I love the smells of mowed grass, Christmas scented castles & strangely the smell of farm sheds.

7) I have one, true, Best Friend, Edel.

8) I suffered from stress pains when I was 15, because I was self-conscious about my appearance.

9) My main Passion is Music. I play the piano, guitar, tin-whistle, a little of the flute, and I sing.

11) My favorite tv shows are Bones, Greys Anatomy, Sherlock, Downton Abbey, New Girl and Gilmore Girls. ( I LOVE TV).

12) Religion is an important factor in my life.

13) My Mum (who is more of a sister) is one of my role models. She lives a happy life, with no care for over-stressing herself. The other role model being my Grand-mother. She led a life full of faith and strength.

14) I love cats & dogs.... Oooooh and SHEEP :)

15) I'm a good enough cleaner, I find it therapeutic.

16) I let my hair dry naturally, instead of heated products.

17) My favorite blogger is 'Sprinkle of Glitter'.

18) I want to become a General Adult Nurse, moving onto working in ITU, and then hopefully get a degree in Music.

19) Gazing out at the stars makes me think that magic is real.

20) I'm extremely ticklish around the waist.

21) I enjoy going to Bakerys, I love my pastries.

22) I hate night clubs.

Liebster Blog Award

The Liebster Award is something of which I haven't heard about, ever since the 30 Day Snap I've been real busy, but I was lucky enough to get time to check over my bloglovin, and I came across my name on Away with the fairies
I came across Annas blog a while back, and I'm happy with how she and I comment on each others blogs, it makes me feel as though some people are reading my blogs. So thank you so much Anna for the nomination and your lovely comments, it means a lot knowing that you enjoy what I post.


The Liebster Award involves:
1- Answering the 10 Liebster Award questions that were given by your nominee, and with linking the person who nominated you.
2- 10 bloggers with under 200 followers must be nominated for the award. (Even though I chose 7, because simply enough I'm just lazy, and these bloggers are the only ones that interest me).
3- You must come up with 10 questions for your nominees (and these nominees must be notified on there blog)

So... here are Annas questions that she had picked out for me... I'll answer honestly, so if I come across as a little strange or random, well then your getting to know what I'm like.

1- What made you start blogging?
Well I enjoy writing in my diaries, ever since I was a kid, and I have an interest in photography (I'm useless at it, but I enjoy it nonetheless). So the idea of fusing them together is pretty cool. Plus I really enjoy the idea of talking about interests to other bloggers.

2- When did you start blogging?
I started on the 5th of May 2013... yep only a while back. (I'm new to all of this).

3- Which style of posts do you enjoy most?
I enjoy lifestyle posts, I like to know what other people get up to... NOSEY I AM! No, but I'm curious to what the world looks like from other peoples perspectives.

4- What is your guilty pleasure?
Can eating a stash of chocolate be a normal answer.....No?... Ok then, well me sitting down, watching reruns of 'Gilmore Girls' and 'Bones' with a truck-full of chocolate is my guilty pleasure. Also eating tubs of ice-cream, ALL IN ONE GO!

5- If you could go to the past or into the future which would it be and why?
I think I would choose the past because I like the idea of being surprised by my future. Plus seeing my gran again would mean a lot.

6- What is your favourite song right now?
I'd have to say 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke, I just see myself wearing glasses and strutting down the street.

7- Who is your biggest inspiration?
Hmm, well I'd say Louise from 'Sprinkle of Glitter' is my blog inspiration. She has a wonderful life, family and friends. It's pretty much what I want for my future. And a whole heck of fun.

8- If you could be anyone for the day, who would you be?
I'd like to know what it would be like to be the Queen of England. I'd be interested to know what she gets up too. I doubt she'd be like me, laying on the couch in my PJs watching 'Scrubs' or 'Top Gear'.

9- Do you have any goals at the minute?
Well I'm hoping for a better physique, heehee, work in progress.

10- Do you watch any tv religiously?
God yeah I do... I have my favourites such as 'Bones', 'Greys Anatomy' and 'The Mentalist'. But recently I've been obsessed with the series 'Sherlock'... I need my tv time, it's therapy for me.

So onto the nominees I've chosen... I've picked 7, not 10... And remember it's people that have under 200 followers. So the following nominees are (drumroll please....)


So my questions for you all are:
1- When did you start blogging and what was your reason for starting it?
2- Who is your most favourite blogger and why?
3- What do you like to do in your free time?
4- What do like most about your appearance?
5- What is your favourite movie or tv show or book and whyyyyy?
6- What song puts you in a good mood?
7- Do you prefer Winter or Summer and whyyyyyyyy?
8- Who do you idolise in your life? (It can be someone either close to you or someone famous).
9- Is there any event or special occasion coming up in your life? (Or something your looking forward to?)
10- What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?

So I'm looking forward to what you all have to say... hopefully there'll be some surprising answers.
Anyway, feel privileged I even picked ye.... haaaa.... only joking.... I love each and everyone of your blogs... Soooooo gooooood luck :)

30 Day Snap #30 | Final Day, Sunny Day


So Guys, it's all finished. It'll be nice to look back on these photos I think.
This month was a pretty busy month, with coming over here to London, having an interview for Nursing (where I'll be starting this coming September), having my brother and bff coming over from Ireland, going to the movies, shopping, my trips to London, babysitting in between it all.
Today I went to a temple in Letchmore Heath. It was a lovely spot for such a beautiful day.

I'm planning on grouping my favourite photos together for a blog when I head back home to Ireland as well, might as well show the memories.

Anyway let me know what your highlights were during this snap challenge.

30 Day Snap Challenge

Hey Guys, 3 more days till the 30 day snap challenge, WHOO HOO!
Its a strange thing to get excited about but I'm new to this whole blogging and it's different. I love getting excited over different experiences.
The idea itself came from Sprinkle Of Glitter, so it is indeed a challenge.


So, this little adventure will be slightly difficult but it'll be my mission to make it FUN. You may be asking yourselves, "How on earth would it be difficult?", well my darlings, this 30 day challenge will be something I would like to look back on and see what my life consisted of. So I don't want the predictable pictures of, "Oooh a television, how exciting", or a cupboard full of sweets with a picture of me beside it drooling. No I think this challenge is a good way to keep me active and start becoming creative. Like I said in one of my previous blogs, I want this a Summer to remember. So this document of my life will hopefully show many of my fun Summer moments.

 For example they could be pictures of spending a beautiful evening in the park with the family, going out for a meal, finding a gorgeous outfit, or even a picture of yourself wearing a smile. These pictures should bring you backin time when you scan through them in years to come.
This little photo will be added to my daily photos, so you'll know that it belongs to the 30 day snap, and not to my other separate blogs.


I am really looking forward to it, and what I love most about it, is that the ideas come from me, so there's no need to be comparing myself to anyone. This will be all about challenging my creativity and in ways my confidence.

Also I'm excited to see what others have in store with this 30 day snap challenge. And hopefully, fingers-crossed, perhaps I'll find some new bloggers that I'll find interesting.

Who else is as excited as I am for this challenge? Your welcome to join me on this challenge :) 3 days, countdown is on... YAY :D
