20 Facts About Me

1. I'm 17

   I have just finished my first year of sixth form and in about a month I will be starting my final year of school. This is a scary factor of my life but I am so done with school that I'm also very excited.

2. I'm from the UK

 My DNA places me from many different countries but I was born in South East England and haven't ever moved.

3. My birthday is 25th April 2000

 I am a Taurus baby, I was due on the 23rd which would of meant I would of shared my birthday with Shakespeare but sadly alas I was born two days late.

4. I've danced since I was 2

 I startred ballet when I was 2 since I wanted to be like Angelina Ballerina, it has now been 15 years and has moved onto a lot more than that. Dancing is what I want to spend my life doing.

5. I have one brother

 Falco is his name and he has just turned 20 which makes him vintage!

6. I have been abroad 3 times

 When I wasn't even one I went to Portugal but I don't remember that at all and then when I was five we went to France which I remember bits about including saving lizards from the pool. About two weeks ago I went to Cyprus with my mother which was my first time on a plane and abroad in years and was quite an experience.

7. I wear glasses

 Since the age of eight I have worn glasses for short sight and a few years ago I got contacts as they are easier to dance in.

8. I had a rabbit called Betty

 Sadly she died last year but I still think of her often. I got her when I was eight and she was my best friend.

9. I love to read

 My mother was a librarian. I think that's all I need to say.

10. I'm named from a book character

 I think the last one explains why. In a book my mother read there was a character called Willowmina (not sure if that is the right spelling) but she called herself Willow and my mum really liked that name.

11. I'm 5'11"

 I know what you're thinking, 'Woah that's tall!" I get that a lot. It's useful sometimes like I always know that when we are asked to stand in height order that I am on one end but also inconviant in moments such as being in an old building with low ceilings. 

12. I love photography

 For many years I have owned a camera of my own and gradually trained them in for a better version. I currently own a DSLR Canon 1200D which I adore.

13. I love to sew

 When I was four my mother taught me to knit and then not much later to sew. I love to sew as you feel so achieved and you get to make your own creations. Even better is when it is your own pattern that you've used which I also love to do.

14. I always wear 2 bird and 1 heart necklace

 When I started sixth form my mother gave me two bird necklaces, one small and one large with a cut out centre that the smaller one could fit inside. She also at another point gave me a glittary heart. Both of which I wear as often as I can to always have her with me.

15. I have long hair

 My mother told me when I was little that when she was 16 she had long enough hair to sit on it and since then I have been determined to keep mine long too.

16. I love cardigans

 A cardigan a day keeps the doctor away, a cardigan is like a hug!

17. I make extravagant hit chocolates

 I love to make hot chocolates with whipped cream, marshmallows of various shapes and then whatever else I can find in the cupboard that would work on a hot chocolate. 

18. I live on Pinterest

 To give you some statistics I currently have 5,340 pins across over 100 boards. Yep. I know that probably counts as an addiction!

19. I love Tesco pastries

 Haha okay yep, you need to try them. They are so good! I'm talking the savoury ones such as the cheese twists and pizza pockets. So good!

20. I love Pret's bananas

 Don't laugh! They are the best bananas I have ever had and the next time you go, and if you have never gone then what are you doing with your life, have one. You must!

It's not the end,
