(image from weheartit.com)

Hey guys, been so busy these past few days! All the Christmas decorations are away and family members have all gone home now so it's all of a sudden very quiet! Thought I would do the Get To Know Me Tag for a bit of fun and something different! 

1. Are you named after anyone? 

Not really but Ellysia is apparently a derivative of Elizabeth which was my great grandmas name

2. When was the last time you cried? 

Tonight, I'm not looking forward to leaving my family and my boyfriend when I go back to uni in a week :(

3. Do you have kids? 

Nope but hopefully one day! 

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?

 I hope! Or maybe I would think I was a bit too crazy!

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Only with people that know what I'm like. Don't wanna offend anyone!

6. Will you ever bungee-jump? 

Never! I am absolutely terrified of heights, I can't even go rock climbing so bungee jumping is definitely completely out of the question!

7. What's your favorite cereal?

 I don't eat cereal cause I don't like milk 

8. What's the first thing you notice about people? 

Quite a lot I think, I'm usually a good judge of character and although I don't like to judge a book by it's cover I usually know when someone is gonna turn out to not be a nice person

9. What is your eye colour? 

Blue

10. Scary movie or happy endings? 

Happy endings every time, I'm such a baby!

11. Favorite smells? 

New catalogues/magazines!

Summer for the holidays and days out and winter for snuggling up by the fire

Computer as I don't watch much TV to be honest

14. What's the furthest you've ever been from home? 

Kansas City in America

15. Do you have any special talents? 

I used to do Ballet (in my thinner days!) but it wasn't really a talent!

16. Where were you born?

 England

17. What are your hobbies? 

Dancing, Drawing, Writing my blog of course! 

18. Do you have any pets? 

I have a dog called Pippin and a tortoise called Eliot!

19. Favorite movie? 

This is England, Trainspotting

20. Do you have any siblings? 

Yes.. a younger brother who is 14

21. What do you want to be when you grow up? 

This is quite specific. Although I am doing a Marketing and Advertising degree I actually want my own Wedding planning business so I'm not sure how my degree fits with that but hey ho haha

I tag all of you! 

Let me know some of your answers to the questions below and link if you have also done the tag!!

Goodbye 2013 - Hello 2014!

This is going to be a slightly different post for me. I'm aware of the fact that my followers probably don't know all that much about me, so I thought since I had a free afternoon, I would write a chit chat sort of post. I  wanted to round up 2013 in my little world and get ready to welcome in 2014 

A lot has happened this year and although there hasn't been anything major (apart from going to uni of course!) I feel like my life has changed a lot. Obviously I haven't seen my friends and family as much over the past few months and that's been a really weird change as I'm used to being at the most 10 minutes away from the people I love! I passed the 3 year mark with my boyfriend that just confirmed the seriousness of our relationship and suddenly it felt so real. Up until that point in August I did see us being together forever (soppy alert!) but it still felt kinda new. We went on our first holiday together in June and yes it was only Center Parcs but it was lovely to go away together and that was another first for us.  Next year it will be 4 years and theres something about that that seems so so much longer than 3!! 

Turning 19 was weird for me, I was so used to being 18 and I felt like it was a really fun age, plus I had really bad tonsillitis for my 19th birthday and ended up going to bed at about half 10 while all my friends carried on the party downstairs. Hopefully this years birthday will be a little more exciting for me!

As far as aims go for 2014 It's pretty simple. I want to become a much more successful blogger because I love it. I couldn't care how many followers or readers I have and although it's even so lovely to chat to some of you and I love reading your comments and replying! It's definitely the highlight of my day when I get to read through your lovely comments. Not only does it help me improve my blog and tailor what I'm writing to what you guys love but I also really like responding to your comments and checking out your blogs too! I like to get to know the people who are reading my posts! I would love to continue my Leesha Loves series and I'm hoping to fit in another series when I get back to uni. 

I would absolutely love to know if theres anything at all that you would like to see differently or any requests you have for the coming months. I'm always up for ideas and tips! 

I would also like to include more beauty reviews on my blog as again It's something that I really enjoy doing and I buy enough beauty products to be able to write as many as I can!

I need to get fit for July and that really doesn't seem like long enough! My own personal problems tend to get in the way a lot and I've been anywhere between a size 6 and a size 16 over the years! Who knows I might find a happy medium in 2014 and finally be happy with my body! That would definitely be nice! 

Then theres the simple things. I want to wear more lipstick, I would like to watch films that are outside my usual Rom Coms, British Drama's and the odd Blockbuster. I want to go for more walks and get more sleep. I want to grow my hair and always have my nails painted. 

I do want to start some sort of Love My Body series but I guess I'm half afraid of failing and then the whole series being ruined so I'm gonna have to have a think about that one. What do you guys think?

I have a lot of posts already planned for January so keep your eyes peeled and keep in touch! I will never stop loving receiving comments and emails from you guys. It blows my mind how anyone can care about what I write so I absolutely love talking to you all!

What are you looking forward to in 2014?

LOVE
