What is The Versatile Blogger Award?

It's an award given to bloggers from other bloggers in recognition of the content and hard work that they put into their blogs.

The Rules:

- Thank the person that nominated you!
- Share a link back to their blog.
- List seven facts about yourself.
- Nominate 15 blogs that you love or have recently discovered.

My 7 Facts:

1. I am a biscuit fiend and my biggest weakness is chocolate bourbons. I could annihilate a full pack of those easily if I allowed myself! 

2. I really hate my voice because I sound like a 12-year-old boy with a blocked nose. When I played consoles I'd get a lot of stick for being a kid when I said anything in the lobby. 😂It used to annoy the hell out of me, but them knowing I was a girl was way worse!

3. I am a huge fan of the game World of Warcraft and I have played it for over 10 years. I am on a break now until the Vanilla servers are released, but this game will always have a special place in my heart. I even have a World of Warcraft tattoo. Oh, and I played Alliance. For the Alliance! 🦁

4. I love 90's chick flicks. They are my favourite things to watch when I am feeling down about anything, and my favourite has to be 10 Things I Hate About You. It's fun, the main character is a badass chick that takes no shit from anyone, and then you have Heath Ledger. What's not to love?!

5. I am bad at hair and make-up! Anything remotely girly I can't do well. I struggle with my hair the most, so the only two styles are down or in a ponytail. I also dress like I did when I was a teenager, which is jeans and t-shirts or hoodies. I am not a feminine person, so wearing a wedding dress will be interesting!

6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favourite TV show. I like that the show is relatable for teenagers, and the gang went through a lot together. I also loved the fact Buffy would throw random puns in while she was fighting!

7. If the gif above doesn't tell you this fact, then I don't know what will! I am always hungry and feel that I should be twice the size I actually am. I'm a sucker for fast food and cake...It's a problem. However, a bonus fact for you, I do not drink alcohol, smoke or anything along those lines. So food is my only vice!

Why I Choose To Be A Blogger

I choose to blog because it's fun. I enjoy researching and writing my content, and it doesn't feel like a chore to me. If I wasn't a blogger I would spend my time reading about true crime and the paranormal anyway. This gives me a place to share it with like-minded people, as I am aware my content isn't everyone's cup of tea.

I have tried a few times to start a blog and I have been unsuccessful, but this time I am committed to sharing my interests with you all. 😃

2 Pieces Of Advice For New Bloggers

1. Don't let nerves stop you. Write about what you enjoy and what you find interesting. Don't try to be someone else to fit what is popular at the time or what most people want to read. I've done this before and I lost interest in it very quickly. Be yourself and do not try to be someone else. 

2. Don't force yourself to post if you don't feel motivated. I have had my off days and needed to rest up and recuperate. Sometimes it's good to have some time for yourself. Don't panic about your blog, relax, and get back on it when you feel better!

Hey guys! Today I have a post that is a bit different. It is a new thing for me, and because I like these kinds of questions I figured why not. We've all sat with friends and played the Would You Rather game. Sometimes it can get pretty strange, but this should be fun nonetheless! 

This first post will be about cats because as you may know, I have two of the little monsters myself! So without further ado, let us start this Would You Rather post.

Would you rather have one giant cat that you can ride like a horse or lots of regular sized cats?

This is a difficult one because I love the idea of riding a giant cat around! However, I remembered that a giant cat would probably have gigantic poos too. I don't know about you, but picking up the poo of 2 regular sized cats is bad enough! 😅That being said I don't think this is enough to sway me from having a giant cat. I guess it would be like mucking a horse out? Maybe? 😂

Would you rather speak to cats but humans will never understand you, or speak to humans but cats will never respond to you?

Hands down I would choose to speak to cats. Our cats are so different personality-wise, and I’d love to know what they have to say. I like to think Willow is bitchy, constantly judging us, but loves us deep deep deep down. On the other hand, I think Enzo would be like Joey from Friends because he’s bloody handsome but can be so dumb sometimes. 😍

Also, the fact I don’t like most people made it an easy decision. 

Would you rather have cat hair on all your belongings but never your clothes, or have it all over your clothing and nothing else?

Errrrrrrm. This is just life for me now, but I think that I'd rather have cat fur on all of my belongings. If I had cat fur all over my clothes it would drive me insane! I think it's because I wouldn't like hair on my clothes for work or on special occasions. Just having a bit of fur on my clothing irritates me, but I do wear a lot of black clothing so it is super obvious when it's there. 

Would you rather have a dog with a cat’s personality or a cat with a dog’s personality?

Cat with a dogs personality! To be honest I think our cat Enzo is like this anyway. He's very cuddly, always follows you around for love, and he really enjoys playing with balls (as in toys 😂). Willow is a lot more cat-like as she's more independent. She only wants attention when she wants it, and if she doesn't you'll know about it. They have very different personalities but I love them equally.

I may do more of these posts in the future, but I will try to give them themes if I can! 

Do you enjoy Would You Rather questions? Do you have any suggestions? 😊Let me know in the comments!

How did I feel on the day?

The day was finally here and I was freaking out. I was also tired because we had been at a party the night before, but back to the point... As I didn't know what the pain would be like I decided it was best to cover my eyebrows in numbing cream and hope that it worked! 

I had a mini panic attack while we were on the way there because I thought I was going to be late. I hate being late for stuff, and I didn't want to lose my appointment. However, my panicking was uncalled for as we got there just on time.

When I got there she wiped my makeup off, drew the shape I asked her for and then checked I was happy with the shape. She also told me that I had one eyebrow lower than the other! Which was a surprise to me! I knew one was thinner but I didn't know I was uneven. 😅After we got the shape down and we were happy, I laid on the bed and it was time to begin the procedure.

What did it feel like?

When she started I didn't feel it at all and was able to lay there without any pain. The one thing I noticed was the sound, and I heard that scraping sound every time she dragged the needles across my eyebrow. Honestly, it was awful at first but I got used to it eventually.

Between each step she would apply more numbing cream to make sure I was comfortable, but I have to admit it started to get raw. It was still bearable but when she went over one area 5-6 times I started to feel it. 

There were points when she was doing the inside of my brows that I wanted to sneeze, and that was because it was so close to my nose. I felt like I spent most of my time fighting them back!

Before and after shot! Ignore the lack of makeup and redness haha.

The aftercare information was given to me on an A4 sheet of paper, and it gave me in-depth instructions on how to care for them. I was also given an ointment to use daily to help the healing process. It has been awkward avoiding water in the shower and I haven't been able to exercise as sweating on them would affect the healing too.

How has the healing process been?

Day 1-3: The first few days were okay but they were very red. My eyebrows were a bit sore but it was manageable. They looked dark and exactly how they did when they were just done. I expected them to look dark, but that isn't a problem for me because I like that look a lot.

Day 3-7: One word: Itchy! For the whole 4 days, it was a constant battle to resist the urge to give them a good scratch. They also started to scab a fair bit and they became patchy as the scabs started to fall off naturally. They looked a lot lighter where the scab had come away, but I was reassured they do go darker when it heals further. (It still made me worry they were going to be too light.)

Day 7 -14: More of the scabs started to fall away after day 7 and the itching subsided. They started to get a bit darker where they faded before. I had to fight the urge to pluck them, as she told me not to do that while they healed. I guess I am so used to plucking I can't help myself, but that's what got me here in the first place! 😅

What happens next?

I have my touch up booked in April and I am kind of excited about it! I may go a bit darker this time because I like the way they look that way. I'm happy with the result so far and would recommend it to anyone that overplucked like me.

The next post I write about this will be after my touch up and about the final results! I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you have any questions let me know in the comments. 😊

For as long as I can remember I have loved seeing enamel pins on jackets and backpacks. Seeing those items of clothing absolutely covered in pins was awesome, but I would hate to lose any of them. It was never an option for me growing up because of my fear of losing or damaging anything I like. 😓

However, it wasn't until recently that I decided to start collecting enamel pins myself to decorate my woman cave. After looking online at some shops I found tons of cute and quirky ones. You can get so many different designs it's unreal. I didn't know where to start at first! I found cats, cacti, food and many many of the things I love. I struggled at first I'm not gonna lie.

To help me decide I started thinking about things I really love, and one of my favourite TV shows of all time is Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It's a show I could binge watch until the cows come home, and I named my black cat Willow due to my obsession. 😁So I decided to go for a vampire themed pin first.

I chose this one to start my collection because I thought it was really fun. I think it was the heart shaped mouth and the fangs that caught my eye. I'm definitely going to get more Buffy themed pins in the future, but I plan to update you on my collection regularly and share where I buy them. 

My fiancé and I also collect Funko Pop! figures. In the future I may even start sharing that collection with you too. 😅

Do you guys like to collect anything in particular? I would love to know! You can share them with me in the comments below!
