I've started a blog to compliment my personal Instagram. I'm going to kickstart this with some detailed facts about me.

1. I'm a fashion student, currently at City of Glasgow College in Scotland studying Fashion and Retail.
2. I have my own fashion blog under @silkandpeony (same as my fashion Instagram).
3. I'm 24 years old.
4. I love travelling. Life's too short to see the same places all the time so I always pick somewhere new to explore each time I go abroad. 
5. I find baths and showers therapeutic so I'm big on the self-care.
6. I love dogs, golden retrievers in particular because I love their cuddly coat.
7. I'd love to go to a Safari one day, I'm an animal person.
8. My favourite colour to wear is red because it suits me best.
9. My favourite colour scheme for my bedroom is a light amethyst because it makes me feel feminine and calm. 
10. I have an interest in Interior Design. I like things to look aesthetically pleasing.
11. I was a shy child.
12. I laugh a lot and have a broad sense of humour. I'm not the most dignified person when it comes to this, if something amuses me it's difficult for me to keep a straight face. If you're funny then expect me to fall into fits of laughter. 
13. You'll hear me say "Lighten up!" a lot because we all need to lighten up a bit don't we?
14. I'm engaged, I was supposed to get married last April in Hawaii but now I'm getting married in 2022. I'm so excited.
15. I love shows like Project Runway, Dream Home Makeover or The Next Top Model franchise because I'm a creative person.
16. Made in Chelsea is a guilty pleasure of mine. I watch every episode and would love nothing more than to attend parties with themes. I love anything extravagant because I'm extra.
17. Shows like 'Riverdale' are another guilty pleasure of mine. No matter how ridiculous these shows get. I used to watch pretty little liars and try to find clues. Don't judge me.
18. I love reading, particularly spiritual books like Paulo Coelho or and I love my psychological thrillers as well. I just love things that either make me think on a deeper level as I think it's important to be open minded and look at things from all different perspectives and as for thrillers, I just love the thrill of not knowing what's going to happen next. 
19. I like listening to fashion podcasts. 
20. I'm currently learning French because I can envision myself staying in Paris.
21. I learned how to paint a few years ago, I'm still an amateur but it's never too late to learn new things. I think we should all have pastimes.
22. If I could have any superpower it would be teleportation obviously.
23. I find cleaning, organising and tidying therapeutic. I still live at home but I know where everything is in my bedroom.
24. My favourite cuisine is Thai followed by Italian then Indian and yes in that order. 
25. I'm a pasta over pizza kind of girl. 
26. If Cajun chicken crepes are on the menu then it's not difficult to assume my order.
27. I've never owned a hairdryer or a pair of straighteners.
28. I'm a positive person. I like to keep my mindset healthy by journaling and not having judgements. I believe in taking it easy on days where I'm not up for much and pushing myself extra hard every other day. That's how I avoid burnout.
29. I don't procrastinate very much. I like to keep on top of things I have to do because I think you're less likely to feel overwhelmed if you just get it done. I think working hard starts with making your bed everyday so you can give yourself that sense of accomplishment as soon as you wake up. The more you do, the more you want to do.
30. I think when you find your passion in life everything else becomes effortless. All about living with purpose.
