A-Z of Me

I saw Severina upload an 'A-Z of Me' post on her blog almost two weeks ago and loved it, it was something I hadn't seen done before and thought it was a great idea which is why I decided to do this post for myself. I used a couple of the same headings as Severina did which wasn't intentional; as I was brainstorming I just found that a couple were the same but they seemed like the most suitable for that letter anyway which is why I didn't try to think of something else.

A is for Author
Whether it's the author of a blog post, an article or a novel, I love writing and hope to continue this passion in the future, hopefully as a job.
B is for Beauty
I love buying and trying various beauty products as suggested by my blog posts but natural beauty is another thing I feel passionate about, I want people to feel confident and happy in their own skin as I truly believe that everyone is beautiful but not everyone sees it.
C is for Culture
I find it interesting to learn about different cultures and languages. I'd love to be able to speak a variety of languages but at the moment just learning French is a challenge!
D is for Dresses
Dresses are one of my favourite types of clothing, any formality and any style. I love buying and wearing dresses and have a couple in my wardrobe that I am very excited to wear when there is a suitable occasion. For me, a casual dress and leggings is so much comfier and often makes me feel more confident than a top and jeans but I also love wearing a more formal dress for evening occasions.
E is for Equality
I feel very strongly about equality amongst people, in any area, as I don't see why so many lablels should be applied and should define how a person should be perceived or treated. Whatever gender, race, sexuality or anything else you identify as, I don't think it should play any role in how you are treated in your life.
F is for Family and Friends
Family and friends are some of the most important things to me, I don't know where I'd be without them!
G is for Gym
I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I actually enjoy going to the gym (most of the time) and like noticing a difference in my fitness and strength.
H is for Halloween
My birthday is very close to Halloween so I've had a lot of Halloween themed parties over the years and it's made me love the occasion.
I is for Independence
I like to consider myself quite independent, not in all areas of my life but when possible I like to control my own things and act as independently as I can. It's important to me to be my own person rather than relying on somebody else.
J is for Journalism
Like I mentioned in the author heading, I would love to go into some sort of work involving writing in the future and one of the main things I would like to go into is journalism, particularly print journalism but not ruling out other areas. I've done a couple of things related to this field but will be studying it at University in September which I am very much looking forward to.
K is for Karate
I used to do karate and got to one belt below black before the club folded due to a lack of numbers.
L is for Laughter
If you know me in person, it is highly likely that you will have seen me laughing on multiple occasions. I love to laugh and find myself doing it a lot more than is probably necessary but that's not necessarily a bad thing except when it makes me look like an absolute nutter; laughing to myself! I also cry with laughter a lot, particularly in warmer environments which people always joke about or think I'm crazy but I honestly believe I cry more with laughter when the room is warmer. I also have several different types of laughs. If you can make me laugh or we can have a laugh together, there is a high chance I'll get on well with you.
M is for Music
Music is a huge part of my life, I love so many different artists and several different styles and I couldn't imagine it not being a part of my life.
N is for Notebooks
Again linking to the writing element, I love notebooks- I have more than I need but it helps to keep things neat and separate (plus they look cute).
O is for Organised
I like being organised for pretty much anything and definitely feel more at ease when I know exactly what I'm doing or what to expect (at least to an extent). I also love lists which definitely helps me to be organised.
P is for Pets
I have three pets at the moment: a dog, a cat and a horse, and love them all. They each have their personalities and their presence (or more specifically cuddles) makes me very happy. Although they may not feel the same when I constantly bug them for a hug.
Q is for Quizzes
I love doing quizzes and if I have a chance at winning, I get pretty competitive, if I really don't know the answers or topic areas then it doesn't bother me but if it's something I know a fair bit about I get very competitive and then excited if I win. We do a family quiz at Christmas each year and I love to both make the quiz, when it's my turn, and take part in our team.
R is for Reading
I love to read, particularly fiction novels and blogs. I love burying my head in a book and becoming involved with both the plot and the characters.
S is for Shopaholic
I am a shopaholic: I love buying new things, particularly clothes or beauty products.
T is for TV Shows (& Movies)
I had to have a category for TV shows and Movies as there are so many that I love, they are a great source of entertainment and like with books, I like to temporarily immerse myself in another world.
U is for University
I felt this needed to be included in my A-Z as although I'm not at university yet, I am very excited to start that chapter of my life.
V is for Vegetarian
Quite self explanatory really: I'm a vegetarian. I became a piscetarian 8 years ago but become fully vegetarian (so basically I stopped eating fish) about 4 months ago.
W is for Watermelon
Of course W had to be for watermelon. It is my favourite food and if it wasn't so expensive or limited to certain times of the year, I would eats it 24/7.
X is for 'X'
X was a tricky one to think of so I went for the typical 'x' sign that I use to end messages as well as the end of my blog name and blog posts.
Y is for YouTube
If you don't know by now, I watch a lot of YouTubers and couldn't not include this platform in my A-Z.
Z is for Zodiac
I'm not sure whether or not I believe the astrology behind zodiac signs but I love to read about horoscopes and often relate to them (although I understand that they are rather generic when you properly consider them).
