TAG: 20 Things About Me!

So I was tagged by +Blackandwhitepolkadots28 for the 20 things about me. I was planning to do it on Instagram but ended up writing so much I figured a blog post would be easier :)

Lets get started...

1. My Mum isn't into makeup at all, so everything I know is all self taught and I'm still learning as I go.
A needle book I made for a craft swap
A bag I made for my friends wedding














2. Lifeofjessica24 is actually my 2nd Instagram, I have another account called @penyardcrafts where I share my passion for the crafts I make, in particular my sewing projects. I see @penyardcrafts as more of my personal account so there's a lot more about my life on there too.

3. I'm currently in my final year at university, only three more exams to go and I'm finished!

Revising for exams with a little help from my friend
4. I hate exams with a passion!

5. I'm not a typical uni student as I don't drink or like to party but I've made the most of my time here, have made some amazing friends and learnt so many things about life. I'm quite proud that I have finished university without stepping foot inside a club haha.

6. I am really lucky to have a small, but loving family who have always been there for me.

7. I have one younger brother who is in the army, which I think is amazing and I'm super proud of him as it's something I could never do.

Reusable make up wipes, I made and use.
They're fab for removing makeup and applying lotions
8. I'm really passionate about trying to save the environment and try to do my bit to be green, including using reusable products.

9. My dream job would be to work with young children and helping them get a great start in life. I have worked in a day nursery but when I finish university I would like to work in social work or something similar. Or a job where I can help peoples lives be a bit better :)

10. I was really lucky to enjoy my high school years, I had amazing friends and looked forward to going to school every day.

11. I am dyslexic so have always had to try and work hard to account for this in school, university and in jobs. When I started this blog I was really worried my dyslexia would show, so I always have to check my posts 3 times before I actually post them - and I usually miss mistakes, so please bare with me!





12. I love animals and have always grown up surrounded by animals. I currently have a hamster, 2 dogs, a cat, 3 snakes, 2 chickens, a duck and a goat.

Travel Journal I decorated ready for Australia
13. To celebrate finishing university I plan to travel around Australia for 6 weeks with my mum, it's taken 2 summer jobs and a part time whilst at uni to save up, so I'm really excited to make the most of my time there.

14. I am hopeless with general knowledge, especially movies, music and celebrities! I am the worst person to have on your team in a pub quiz!

15. I'm 21 and have only just started to be comfortable in my own body. I am super curvy with big boobs, a tiny waist, wide hips and pretty big thighs, but I'm finally starting to like my curvy body and not being ashamed and trying to hide it.

16. I would love to wear wacky clothes and makeup but I really don't have the confidence, I like to blend in as much as possible, although some days I feel brave and go a bit out there!

17. I'm a really optimistic person, easily pleased and like to find pleasure in even the small things in life.

18. Despite this, in the second year of university I got really ill and since then have had bad anxiety, I have never felt so alone, confused and disappointed in myself, but over time I'm slowly getting better and growing in confidence.

19. In the future I hope to have a loving husband, some beautiful children in a lovely house surrounded by animals.

20. When I was in year 7, my parents told me we were going to move from the city we lived in to the countryside. I was devastated and really did not want to move, but I think it was the best thing we ever did, we have a lovely house (still a work in progress though), land for our animals and fantastic friends.

So there you go - 20 things about me! I hope you've enjoyed reading them...I would love to learn 20 things about you, so if you decide to do this please tag me so I can have a read :)
