2 Songs

10 Day 'You' Challenge
10 secrets // 9 places // 8 fears // 7 wants // 6 places // 5 foods
4 books // 3 films // 2 songs // 1 picture of yourself

Little apology first in this post. I'm sorry all I've been posting is this daft challenge. I've been terribly busy this week and haven't had time to do any 'normal posts'. I also have a job interview tomorrow(!!) and it's my result's day on Thursday so expect even more personal posts, again very sorry. After Thursday I will get down to the more beauty side of things here because hopefully I'll have money. Anyway on with the challenge! 

1. Rock the Casbah - The Clash.
God I love this song, I first heard it 'properly' on my first (illegal) night out and it's been one of my favorites ever sinc always it has a good memory of a fab night out for me, which is ever better :-)

2. This is a hard one but I'll pick Hope - The Blackout.
They are such a good band, full of amazing friendly members and always they are so damn good live! This song especially because well I just like it a whole lot. I adore acoustic music as well so I choose the acoustic version.


This was really hard because I haven't included some of my favorites bands like The Candle Thieves and such so if you want to know more chekc out my last.fm.

Also asking for a little advice here, can anyone help me with putting pictures side by side each other in a blog post? I do have some methods but their not all that great and well google's not much help either. So please?

3 Films

10 Day 'You' Challenge
10 secrets // 9 places // 8 fears // 7 wants // 6 places // 5 foods
4 books // 3 films // 2 songs // 1 picture of yourself

Yet another hard choice for me! I love films so much, I'm such a film geek. This is going to be pretty boring though because it's going to be 2 series and one film but I'm sure you you keep searching this tag I will eventually post more of my favorite films :)

1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. 
Just ~wow~ I only watched them this year, first time ever because when I was younger they scared me and well they've taken the top spot!

2. Harry Potter series.
I'm sorry I had to. They don't quite live up to the books enough but they will do. Amazing cast too.


3. The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
This film has the most amazing soundtrack ever, yes I know it off by heart. I first watched this when I was about 10 and loved it ever since. I just love what it's about and the characters are just amazing! (I was Dr. Frank-N-Furter for Halloween once ^.^)
Do you like any of these films? Also what are your favorite films?

5 Foods // 4 Books

10 Day 'You' Challenge
10 secrets // 9 places // 8 fears // 7 wants // 6 places // 5 foods
4 books // 3 films // 2 songs // 1 picture of yourself

Okay so I missed yesterdays because I was so busy with my other posts and my the giveaway starting so I thought I would do day 5 and 4 together and their quite nice challenges :)

5 Foods
1. I absolutely adore take away, I'm aware of how unhealthy and fattening it is but I can't help it I adore it.Well I love pizza hut too, it's just as good.
2. I love macaroni cheese (packet mix I haven't tried homemade) and it's just so nice and easy to make.
3. I like shortbread and last week I made some with my boyfriend since then it's lovely plus my mum's brought me some back in the shape of a westie and it was so cute!
4. Ben and Jerry's. I'm sure everyone loves this and has their fav flavor (definitely cookie dough!) and I always tend to get it when it's on offer, it's just so yummy and a good snack/relaxing night in on your own or when I'm with Tom ^.^
5. I'm ind of stuck now, this is hard because I eat lots of food and it's hard to narrow it down so I'll say cheese. I love it in bread, with crackers, on it's own. Just yum, even though I like cheddar and that's about it.

4 Books
I don't think anyone knows who hard this will actually be for me, I'm an avid reader so 4 will be hard. (Don't actually think any one these will be single books D:)

1. I have to say for top spot it had to be both. Lord of the Rings and The harry Potter books, no one will beat these books. HP was my childhood and LOTR my teenage years.

2. Honestly - anything by Stephen King, actually this book - Needful Things (and no this isn't all of his books I have, just a few!). 
He is one of the best writers I have ever heard of and read their books. I would recommend him 10x over because he's fabulous and just so widely recommended by all. Plus his stories do get pretty messed up. 

3. I also really enjoyed the the Inheritance Cycle (first one Eragon got made into a film) even though many people thought the writer to be sucky and too young. I really enjoyed them - mind I love fantasy, dragons and all that. Plus the book covers are amazing!

4. The Hunger Games Trilogy. Now I actually read these BEFORE the whole drama and fangirl over the film. I actually was against seeing the film because I just knew this one would be ruined. I really loved these books but was so disappointed by the ending. I didn't like Peeta all that much, I hope the other films (if.. a big if, they make them *fingers crossed*) live up to the books.
I also didn't actually have these books with this cover, I had the books before the movie ones and other ones were later released ^.^

This was so hard for me to do because I love my books I prefer them to a night out most of the time (I enjoy Spiders!) so for more of my favorite books check out my Goodreads account.

6 Places

10 Day 'You' Challenge
10 secrets // 9 places // 8 fears // 7 wants // 6 places // 5 foods
4 books // 3 films // 2 songs // 1 picture of yourself

1. I would love to visit New York, just because simply it's the city that never sleeps. It looks like an amazing and gorgeous city to be quite honest.
2. I'd love to go back Wales, (not just for the accents!) it's a beautiful place that I would love to explore with my camera.
3. I actually love my home city, I know it like the back of my hand and there's some places here that I like to go too where I can just relax and write or read.
4. I really badly want to go back to London just for Camden Market, it really us an amazing place I could spend a whole day there and not get to see all of it. 
5. This is getting quite hard to do now :( My bedroom I guess, it's so lovely in here and it's my space.
6. Erm, probably my boyfriends house/bedroom only when it's me and him. It kind of feels like our own and there's lots of peace and quiet.

8 Fears

10 Day 'You' Challenge
10 secrets // 9 places // 8 fears // 7 wants // 6 places // 5 foods
4 books // 3 films // 2 songs // 1 picture of yourself
  1. I'm pretty sad to admit this but the dark. I don't sleep in it and I still sleep with the light on. I can't be by myself in the dark, if I'm with my boyfriend I'm okay. If not well.. my mind is very vivid and makes horrible things up in my head :(
  2. I really don't like spiders. Not the fact of them, their just so small and they crawl around and you loose them so easily, man that's scary.
  3. I fear I won't get the grades I want which means not doing well in college and university. All I want is to do well in my life.
  4. Loosing everyone I love. Yes everyone has this fear, I've already had my parents split up and move away, I'm not ready to loose them yet.
  5. Getting old - I like the idea of turning 18 and 21 and then being in my 20's but not getting any older please.
  6. Creepy old men, just ewww.
  7. Chavs that live near me, I grew up on a horrible part of my city and well people are violent are round there and I guess it's not the place you want to walk through late at night, on your own.
  8. Dying, yeah I don't wanna leave before I have chance to do anything, see anyone or meet anyone.

9 Loves

10 Day 'You' Challenge
10 secrets // 9 places // 8 fears // 7 wants // 6 places // 5 foods
4 books // 3 films // 2 songs // 1 picture of yourself

Now I love a whole lot of things so narrowing it down to just 9 will be pretty hard, but here goes. 

1. Top of the list, books! I adore books, I mean look at my bookshelves for god sakes (this isn't even all of my books)
3. Something you love - my books #photochallenge (Taken with Instagram)

2. Doc Martens, all girls loves shoes and have their favorites, well Doc's are mine. I will literally wear them with anything and everything, their not very girly but I wore them to prom! I will never ever stray from them, their the best.

3. Anything vintage, whether it be cars and motorbikes or clothing. I love it! The whole idea of their fashion and style icons is amazing, for instance the hair styles, how I wish my hair was long enough so I could curl it or do victory rolls. 

4. My boyfriend, yes I'm going to get soppy. It's out 6 months today and well, I love him lots. :-) 























5. Red lipstick, I will wear it with anything. Specially black flicked eye make up, it's my favorite.

6. Shopping like all girls. For books, clothes, make up, stationary. You name it I'll buy it. I like pretty things yet I don't always like spending my money, because I never have any it's dreadful :c I love online shopping the most, I love trawling through websites online and making wishlists, finding discounts. It always works, buying things makes me happy. Specially if it's for someone else.

7. Late nights, I like staying up by myself reading or writing, blogging or just on my laptop. I also like doing it with other people, my boyfriend and friends. Going out, parties, playing board games, watching TV and DVD's. I love staying up to the early hours.

8. Pretty notebooks. I may never use them if I buy them but I love them, I love owning them and I don't even know why. It's a little obsession I guess. I like to collect them and I do eventually use them , it just takes me a little time.

9. I love writing. Whether it be blog posts, my diary or writing letters even though I don't have a pen pal right now I love it. I love getting everything down so I can create memories and remember it. I like re reading things and thinking back to when I wrote what I did. I adore it. I just wish I had a pen pal.

10 Day 'You' Challenge - 10 Secrets

Now I have always loved doing photo challenges and all sorts of things, mainly done on my tumblr. It makes me feel as if I have something to do that day and then when I've done that part of the challenge I feel like I've actually accomplished something that day because normally I don't. I found this one floating around on other peoples blogs and thought to myself that I would give it a try. I'm going to be doing it from day 10 down to day 1 and here I go.


10 Secrets
I'm a very open person so I don't tend to have many secrets but I'll do the best I can.
  1. Everyone in my family seem to think I'm really smart and it just comes to me but I am so scared for results day it's not even funny. Same for college, I'm just so scared.
  2. I'm a very open and friendly person but I don't make friends easily and when I do it's normally with guys. I guess I just don't like girls too much because where I live they can be quite fake and very slutty.
  3. Despite being scared for college and all my results I am so excited, because thinking about it this is the start of my life properly. I can finally get a proper job and study the things I really want to do but also read as many books as I want and not get complained at because I'm doing English Literature for an A Level.
  4. I really enjoy being on my own and not around other people, I like the peace and quiet of my own room and reading a book all on my own.
  5. Following on from the last one, apart from my family they may only be two or three people I'm only fully comfortable to be around included are my boyfriend and best friend, I'm a bit of an odd bod.
  6. I love all things old an vintage, but I don't always dress that way because I'm scared of being judged ever with the 'I don't give a fuck of your opinion about me' attitude I seem to put on. 
  7. I'm a video game geek, I have all the consoles and most of the games but I never really get chance to play them anymore, my boyfriend does more then I do.
  8. I love to write but I never quite get the time which is very saddening because it's one of my passions.
  9. It sometimes bothers me that I don't always have as many friends as other people or that people don't like me but then I realize I have an amazing boyfriend and best friend and all the books I could ever have to last me a life time.
  10. I'm a sucker old cars, camper vans, vespa's (yes that's a bike), american mustang, old mini's. You name it I love it, ever since getting with my boyfriend of now my love for them has grown, I just can't help it. I see them in the street and squeal a little.
There you have it, they suck a little bit but I guess I'm not all that interesting/secretive. Everyone I know pretty much knows my business, through me telling them and well not telling them too :)
