Q&A // Get to know me

Q&A //

So today's blog post is going to be a quick Q&A. I love getting to know new people and think Q&A's are the perfect way to get to know someone :)

Q1:Why is my name spelt differently?My name is pronounced like Neve, but spelt N-I-A-M-H. My dad is Irish, so I'm half Irish. Niamh is the Irish spelling and comes from the Irish story of Niamh the Princess.

Q2:What do you want to do with your life?Ever since I was around 5, I loved reading. I've always wanted to be an author and write fiction books for kids or teens. I was always ahead in English and had a high reading age since I was 7. Writing is my passion, but I also love acting.

Q3:What's your favourite subject at school?I really love drama at my college. I didn't have the opputunity to do drama at high school and love it at college. My teacher is incredible, funny and so laid back for a teacher. I also love my drama group. we're a small group and all very close.

Q4:Favourite app?I love Instagram. I love sharing photos with people and documenting what I've been up to, so Instagram is the perfect place :)

Q5:What are your three favourite hobbies?I love taking photos. I have a busy life and a bad memory. I love taking photos, as they document all the fun things I've done, especially over the holidays, when I do more, because I'm not at school. My second favourite hobby is watching YouTube or films. I'm a big movie fan and love watching them to pass an hour or two. I like all the typical YouTubers, like Zoella, PointlessBlog, PlanetGabby, ThatcherJoe. And my final hobby is some sort of art. I love drawing most of all and always grab a pencil and some paper when I'm bored.

Q6:What is your favorite TV series?Pretty Little Liars for sure. The show is incredible, full of talented people and I'm absolutely in love with it! The story line is fast paced, action packed and very mysterious. The show has me on edge all the time! I also love watching Suits and when its on each year I adore I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

Q7:Who is your role model?I have so many people that I look up to. Keegan Allen from PLL inspires me through photography. Amanda Seyfried is one of my favorite actress', as is Meryl Streep. My music inspiration is Ed Sheeran. I love Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgeons from my childhood memories. There's so many to choose, but all of the above are in the mix. A lot of people inspire me and to be quite honest it depends what show or reality thing I have been loving. For example, because I've just watched Pretty Little Liars, my mind is saying my role model is currently Troian Bellisario.

Q8:What do you look for in a person? As a friend or someone you like?I think laughter is the best thing in the world. A good laugh makes everyone feel better, so probably laughter. Obviously, only as long as the laughter isn't at someone else's expense.

Q9:What is your favourite time of the year and why?CHRISTMAS!I love all things Christmas, from the cheesy music to the tree. But the main reason I love it is the atmosphere. Everyone's in a great mood, shopping around town and just being happy. I find more people are happy around Christmas time.

Q10:What do you hate a lot?Bullying or racism. I really don't understand how someone can tell someone to kill themselves whilst sat behind a phone. And discriminating someone in any way because they are a different colour to you is pathetic. To be honest, I find anything like racism or bullying sickening.Oh, and I also hate parents that pressurize teens to do well at school. Well, that and I hate mushrooms...

So I hope you likes this little Q&A and maybe now you know me a bit better :) Thanks for reading, see you soon, Niamh x

Beauty and Clothes Haul

Beauty and Clothes Haul // Recent Buys

So recently I went shopping with two friends, Megan and Kenzie, at Fosse Shopping Park Leicester. If you live in Leicester, you'll know a lot of people use Fosse Park for a quick shop or somewhere to stop and eat, due to it's huge Food Hall.

So one of my favourite shops is New Look. From here I brought two tops, each on sale, priced at £5 each. A great bargain. I've mentioned one of the tops in a previous blog. Its a long sleeved, black top, thats floaty and loose fitting.

 The second top was in the same kind of style, but dark blue with a black lace hem at the bottom. This one is three qauter length sleeved and cost the same amount. Personally I prefer the first one, as I like having my arms covered, but the second one has a nice hem.

My next purchases were from Asda. I have to say, one of the main reasons I love Fosse park is due to Asda. It's just the perfect place to get everything you need, from books to DVDs, make up to sweets. It's exceptionally cheap too. The first thing I picked up was this glass jar. I fell in love with the cute heart on the front and the baby blue screw lid. It was only £2.50 and the perfect size. It started on my desk, containing nail polishes. Not liking how it looked, I replaced the polishes with fairy lights. This looked really cute and is the perfect way to add a bit of decoration to a room. Another way would be to store money or savings in the jar.

The final two things I brought were cotton pads and make up remover. The cotton pads were Asda's own and cost me 79p. I needed a new pack, and decided to go with the bigger versions, so I would not use more than one cotton pad every time I took off my make up. And finally, the micellar water. This is the best make up remover I have discovered. It removes dirt and make up, has no smell and is great for your skin. As if that wasn't enough, it only cost me £2.50.

Until next time,

A Cosy Night In

A Cosy Night //

Everybody loves having time to relax and let off some stress. I find the perfect way to do so, is to have a cosy night in. By this I mean making yourself feel better, if you've had a down day or just generally letting yourself relax.

My cosy nights consists of doing something I love. Suiting it to your needs/likes is important, as it makes you feel happy. I often find I have cosy nights quite often, as they're fun and nothing is better than just letting yourself go for a night and not worrying about anything.

STEP 1:

Grab yourself a nice, calorie high snack ;)

My favorite thing to grab would probably be a bag of sweets, such as Tangfastics. But anything will do and it doesn't have to be calorie high! I just find something full of sugar makes me feel better. I was recently given this box of Thorntons Winter chocolates and they went pretty quick!

STEP 2: 

Put on our favorite film

My next step would be to get together a running of films I want to watch. My favourite is a good, heart warming musical or Disney film. My favourites are things like Mamma Mia, Tangled, Hoodwinked.
If you're not a film fanatic like me, put on a series or log onto your laptop to watch You Tube. Watching something that entertains you, is good for you. No matter what people say, a good film helps you unwind.
