Questions, Questions, Questions!!

I really enjoy answering these questions so I thought I'd do some more that I found on Twitter. I don't know what it is about these posts that I like so much, perhaps it makes me think a bit more about myself? 

Selfie

From just before Christmas, my teeth look so white! 

Full name

Charlotte Rhianne Gill

Age

17 (less than a week till I'm 18 though!)

Birthday

23rd January 1997

Idols

Helen Glover, Malala Yousafzai, Beyonce, Katherine Grainger

Favourite movie

Grown Ups is my favourite comedy movie and (not being original in any way) The Notebook is possibly favourite rom-com. But overall my top top favourite is Perks of Being a Wallflower. 

Favourite TV Show

24 Hours in A&E, Celebrity Juice, Silent Witness or Russell Howard's Good News

Something you hate about yourself

My massive forehead and my voice

Something you love about yourself

My hair (when it cooperates) and I think I'm a kind, caring person

Best friend

I have close friends too but my best friends are probably Emma, Greenie and Sophie 

Someone you hate

I don't know if I actually hate anyone because hate is quite a strong word but I just really don't like rude people, whether I know them or not, I can't stand rudeness

Favourite song

Jubel by Klingande and Stockholm Syndrome & Little Things by One Direction 

Favourite band

I think it's obvious but One Direction

Say sexy you think of:

Confidence, muscles and a nice, friendly smile (height is quite important too!)

Relationship status

I couldn't be more single if I tried

Ever had bf/gf

Nope (cries whilst consuming copious amounts of chocolate)

My idea of a perfect date

Something simple like a nice dinner and then a movie or just chill out at their house! 

Where I want to be right now

Somewhere warm and sunny with blue sky and blue sea like Florida or the Caribbean

Girl crush

Kendall Jenner

I mean just look at her, it's not fair

Boy crush

Harry Styles and Nick Bateman

Need I say more?

Embarassing memory

There are so many I can't remember. I've probably suppressed them in the back of my memory!

Talents

I guess rowing, I'm a good listener and I hope I'm good at writing? 

Someone I miss

The girls from the Welsh team! 

Someone I love

My friends for always being there

Future goals

Row for GB (who knows if that's actually achievable?!) and to be successful

A confession

This is really tricky! Urm.... I really don't know. I don't really have a lot of secrets/confessions and the ones that I do have are VERY secret and will not be exposed any time soon!   

Something I'm addicted to

Music, it is the one thing (apart from human essentials e.g. Water, oxygen and food) that I can't live without

Fave animal

Dolphins and horses (I can't choose between the two!) 

Favourite TV couple

I had to think really hard about TV shows for this one! I think maybe Miranda and Gary from 'Miranda' because they are so well suited and they are together eventually even though they encounter some major hiccups! Also, Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl, partly for the same reasons but also because their final relationship is so perfect and he treats her like a princess! 

Ships

Janya (Jim Chapman and Tanya Burr) They literally have my relationship goals!

Favourite quote

I'm a sucker for quotes but some of my favourites are 'You never know what's impossible until you try' or 'Winners never quit, quitters never win' or 'The body achieves what the mind believes' 

Lucky number 

I don't believe in lucky numbers so I don't have one!

Biggest wish

To be happy, loved and successful

Bad habits

Nail biting and procrastinating

Food you hate

MUSHROOMS. I think it's partly their awful squishy texture but they also taste so gross. 

Hair colour

Blonde

Eye colour

Blue

Favourite kind of ice cream

Pretty much anything from Ben and Jerry's or a simple Mint Choc Chip!

Any question you'd like: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Hopefully either still studying for a masters or working, hopefully in London!

I hope you enjoyed these questions! Feel free to do them yourself, let me know if you do! 

Much Love

Charlotte

The Sweater Weather Tag

I was scrolling through Sprinkle Of Glitter's Amazing Advertisers and came across Alices Antics. Having a glance at her blog I discovered this tag and it looked fun so I thought I'd give it a go, especially as it has been so cold recently I thought the Sweater Weather tag was quite appropriate. 

1) Favourite Candle Scent?
I love candles but I'm ashamed to say I don't actually own that many! There is a Yankee Candle scent called Soft Cotton which has a really delightful, crisp smell but I think it's also quite a Spring/Summer scent! For Autumn/Winter I'm yet to discover my favourite candle. If you have any recommendations please let me know in the comments!

2) Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate?
Is this really a question? Actually thinking about it, I don't know if I can choose! Hot chocolate is perfect after a day of shopping or training in the freezing cold. Tea is so comforting. And coffee can be so varied and really picks you up on a day when you might be lagging a bit! I think I'd have to say Hot Chocolate though because I drink tea and coffee all year round but I tend to only drink Hot Chocolate in winter, it HAS to be Galaxy though!

3) Do You Switch Up Your Make-up Routine for the Season? 
I'm going to be honest, I'm quite boring with my own makeup, simply because I don't have a lot of makeup and I don't know what will look good on me! If I'm going to a party I will add more eyeshadow, lipstick, eyeliner etc but I have never done anything drastic. I tend to stick to neutrals and nudes! 

4) Hats or Scarves?

Hmm, this is tricky. I only own two hats because I never thought hats suited me until I found these two. In comparison I have loads of scarves and snoods. Snoods are a must for winter, I always find myself burrowing into it when I get really cold. I guess for that reason I have to say scarves but I do love hats, I think they can complete an outfit.

5) Favourite Christmas Food?
Pigs in Blankets or stuffing I'd say. I LOVE roast potatoes but I have them all year round, not just at Christmas. Of course I love chocolate and Terry's Chocolate Orange is a definite favourite (it counts as part of your five a day right?) 

6) Most Worn Sweater? 

I've only recently bought this  Red reindeer jumper from Boohoo which is actually the first Christmas jumper I've ever bought (shameful I know). But I also bought a light blue, knitted  jumper recently but in size 16 so it's so baggy and I have been living in it ever since (it has been washed don't worry). So I think this will end up being my most worn sweater. 

7) Must-Have Winter Nail Polish? 

I think Barry M have the best winter nail polish collection at the moment. I've always loved the matte burgundy but I recently purchased the Gelly Hi-Shine Chai. It's quite a dark grey but I love it! It dried quickly and I love the shiny finish of the Gelly Hi-shine polishes. 

Gelly Shine Chai 

8) Favourite Autumn/Winter Memory?
I think the one that sticks out most is riding my old horse bareback in the snow about 4-5 years ago. I just remember going down to the yard, seeing the field covered in snow and deciding to get on and have a little ride around the field. It was bliss. I wish I could relive it, I really miss having my own horse! 

9) Boots or Uggs?
I think we all went through that phase at around 13-14 years old when Uggs were all the rage. And yes, they are really warm and comfy but I much prefer boots now. Chelsea boots are probably some of my favourites and I live in my brown Topshop boots. They have a fur edge which adds warmth and they go well with majority of my clothes. 

My Topshop boots are getting quite worn out! 

10) What is the Winter Weather Like Where You Live?
Crap. Rain, Cold. Ice. Wind. No snow. It's really quite grey and bland. I think I'd much rather have my Christmas in Florida where it'll be sunny!  Or go to the extreme opposite and have a white Christmas! 

Much Love

Charlotte
