Photos That Make Me Happy...

Hi everyone!

So I am back! :) 

I try to promote happiness on my blog and in my life as much as possible, so today I decided to do my post on ten photos that make me happy! Leonie actually did this post a couple of months ago and I thought it was a really cute and unique idea, so all credit does go to her for this one!

So I guess due to me kinda stealing this blog idea from Leonie, my first photo should really include her! This photo was taken before we travelled to London for the second Miranda Sings Show in August this year. I remember being so exhausted as we only had about 4/5 hours sleep the night before but equally being super excited to meet Colleen again. This is one of my favourite pictures of us and one of my favourite memories together, I wish we could do our London weekend all over again!

My second picture is of my friends dog, Mia! We had just got our conservatory re-done and the floor was brand new which is why the room looks so empty! I was having breakfast before work and I turned around to see her sat waiting for me with her toy in her mouth. I couldn't resist taking a quick snap because she looked so damn cute! I did then play with her as she waited so patiently for me.

Following on from my first picture, the third picture that makes me happy is the one with Colleen. These were actually taken at the second show where I asked her to be Colleen for pictures and not Miranda. The pictures from the first show are horrible so I'm really happy that these ones turned out better! I have so many fond memories from this weekend and actually being able to meet one of my favourite people makes it even better!

The fourth photo that makes me really happy is of my friend, Annabel, and I during our Halloween themed weekend at work. Everyone makes fun of us and calls us Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum because we do everything together and can be quite annoying (oops!). So we decided that it would be funny to play on that idea and actually come to work dressed as those characters. We didn't tell anyone our idea and just turned up together in our outfits. We also tried and failed to do everything together, we were on the same till points and tried to walk in sync. I think my favourite thing was to see the customers reactions, the majority of them just stared at us but didn't say a word.

The fifth picture is kind of random, but it is a picture of my feet in some leaves. Autumn/Winter is my favourite time of year, I love the colours, I love the fashion and I love the cold days! Christmas and my birthday are also during this period which makes me so happy! I'm also a huge photography nerd so I love going out with my camera and capturing Autumn at its best!

The sixth picture is of Amelia, Leonie and I at Capital's Summertime Ball last year. I love this picture but I love the memories that go alongside it more. We travelled up to London together by train which was...an experience lets say! I had so much fun with my best friends listening to some of our favourite artists, and it is a day that I would very much love to repeat!

I took the seventh picture while I was on holiday in America last year. We went on a mini road-trip and one of the places we stayed was Boston. We went Whale watching for the afternoon and it was such an amazing experience! We saw so many Whales up close, including a calf! I think seeing nature in its natural habitat is really cool and is something I will never forget!

My eight picture was taken a couple of Christmas' ago when I went to my aunties house for our annual Christmas family weekend. I had to take some portrait images for a photography project I was working on and these two cuties couldn't stop posing for me! This is still one of my favourite pictures as Evie and Thomas both look so happy!

My ninth picture that makes me happy is a picture of a picture! Leonie and I took these Polaroids on New Years Eve last year. I remember this day so vividly and how happy I was to be seeing the New Year in with my very best friend. We ordered pizza, exchanged Christmas gifts and laughed a lot! We also filmed the Yoga Challenge for my Youtube channel which is one of my all time favourite videos as it makes me cry with laughter every time!

My final image is of the New York City skyline taken from the Rockefeller Building. I like the picture itself as you can see the whole city so well but it also brings back so many happy memories. I've wanted to go to New York ever since I was little, practically begging my parents to go and this year they surprised me with plane tickets for my 18th Birthday! Safe to say I cried like a baby! I loved New York and am dying to go back again!

I hope you enjoyed this post, its slightly different to my usual posts.

Taking a break...

Hey everyone!

So I took a little break from blogging and from the internet in general as my life has got super hectic. I also started to feel very overwhelmed with everything that has been going on so I thought the best option would be to slow down and only do the things I needed to do.

However...I am now back and will resume posting with my normal schedule of every Thursday at 6pm starting next week! 

If you want more daily posts then be sure to follow my instagram: cottoncxndyheart

The Liebster Award...

Hi everyone!

So I was recently nominated by Leonie for the Liebster award, which is basically a tag where you share 11 facts about yourself and then you answer 11 questions that the previous blogger has left you. So thank you Leonie for nominating me!

The rules for the tag are:

1. Post 11 facts about yourself
2. Answer 11 questions that the nominator has asked
3. Nominate 11 other bloggers
4. Give them 11 questions to answer
5. Let the blogger know that you have nominated them

So lets get started!

11 facts about me:

1. I have green/blue eyes and medium length light brown hair, I'm actually growing my hair because I want to cut it and send it to a charity that make wigs for poorly children!
2. I love photography and am always taking pictures wherever I go.
3. I would love to travel more and I would love to go back to America again soon.
4. I love the whole Ballinger family and I met Colleen, Rachel, Gwen, Tim and Kory in London exactly one month ago, which made me very happy!
5. My favourite tv shows are Dance Moms, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Made in Chelsea.
6. I love Ariana Grande and I hope to get tickets to see her on her European tour.
7. I am constantly singing and I love to belt out Disney songs when I'm home alone.
8. People used to think that Leonie and I were twins, even our teachers would get us muddled, so we played along to confuse everyone.
9. I absolutely love my job and the people I work with, it makes me so happy.
10. I love to cook and bake in my spare time.
11. I am a huge animal fan and I am convinced that I am going to be a crazy dog lady when I'm older.

11 questions for me:

1. Who is someone that inspires you?

Okay so you probably know the answer to this one...Colleen Ballinger-Evans. She is always so positive and spreads happiness all the time which I think is so important. She takes time out of her day to interact with fans which not a lot of people do. When I met her, she was the exact same person you see in videos, there is nothing fake about her at all. However, I also get inspired by the people around me. I like to surround myself with positive people that make me a better person.

2. If you were to create another blog, what do you think it would mainly be about?

That is a difficult one because I don't think it would be any different to this one. I would probably write some more posts that were inspiring or gave some more life advice as I personally love reading those types of posts.

3. What is one thing you aspire to be?

Happy.

4. Where is your phone right now?

Right next to me, charging. I am currently snapchatting Leonie.

5. When was the last time you proved yourself wrong?

I'm not too sure! I love when I get really nervous about something, or worry about about it a lot and then I do it and it's not as bad as I think. I like when I step out of my comfort zone and get over my shyness.

6. How many concerts have you been too?

5, soon to be 6. I have been too; Jessie J, One Direction, Radio 2 Festival in a day, Lily Allen and Capital Summertime Ball. I am seeing Shawn Mendes in June as well.

7. Which one are you? A pen writer or pencil writer?

Pen! I hate writing in pencil!

8. Are you excited or worried to see what the future will bring, why?

A bit of both. I'm worried because I have no clue what I want to do with my life but I am excited to travel, educate myself, laugh, love, work etc.

9. Would you describe yourself as a brave being or a fearful fella?
Again, I would say a bit of both. If you read my post about my fears, then you will know that I get scared easily. However, I can be quite brave when I want to be, when I'm in the right mindset, I love stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something that I wouldn't normally do.

10. Do you believe in Ghosts? If so, any spooky stories to tell?
Yes I do! I once saw a ghost in my bathroom, it didn't look like anything in particular, but it was almost like a cloud. It wasn't steam either as it was during the day and the shower hadn't been on. I also feel a presence looking over me and the candles flicker really weirdly in my room. I find ghosts and spirits quite interesting and I really want to do a Ouija board!

11. Have you ever overcame one of your fears?
There isn't a moment that really sticks out for me no, but I have got a lot braver when it comes to swimming in the sea. I can swim a bit more and don't feel quite as nervous, unless I'm on a pedalo or kayak away from the shore.

The 11 bloggers I nominate are:

Amy's Life
Geraldine's Wonderful World

Sharing my fears...

Hi everyone!

Today I want to discuss some of my fears as I think it would be interesting to see if any of you share the same. My best friend Leonie, actually wrote this blog post during her 31 day blog post challenge. I really enjoyed her post and it got me thinking about some of my fears so I thought I would share mine with you. I always think fear itself is quite an unusual concept if you think about it. Some of these fears we have may never happen to us or hurt us, but our mind makes us believe that they are scary and horrible. 

My first fear which is probably my biggest fear and is something that affects me almost everyday and it is the fear of getting locked in or trapped somewhere. I don't mean getting locked in your house, but getting locked into places that are very difficult to get out of. For example, I really don't like using public bathrooms as I am terrified that I will get locked in the toilet cubicle. Whenever I use a toilet cubicle, I always have to work out how I will escape if the lock gets stuck and I cant get out. I also hate using elevators and will only use them if I really have too. The fear of the elevator breaking and getting trapped freaks me out so much. I do get claustrophobic in these situations which can make me feel very overwhelmed.

My second fear is of bugs. This is a pretty common fear and is not something that affects me too much, I also use the term 'bugs' very lightly. I actually mean Spiders and Moths. I hate spiders and I hate it when you get those really big fast moving ones. I have had many a heart attack while trying to get rid of a spider using a glass and the spider has fallen out onto me. However, to an extent I can deal with a couple of spiders. Moths, on the other hand, I cannot! I am terrified of Moths and I do believe that they are the spawn of satan. If there is a moth in a room, chances are that I am not in the room either as I would have run out screaming a couple of seconds earlier. I dislike Moths as I feel like they don't have their life together, they can never make their mind up over which direction they want to fly in. Instead they just fly in multiple directions and end up flying into you in the process. No thank you!

My third fear is of the sea. I don't mind paddling in the sea but I don't like swimming in the sea. I don't like the fact I cant see where I am putting my feet and I never know what I could be stepping on. I always tend to injure myself in one way or another when I am at the beach too which also doesn't help. I have a huge fear of drowning or of boats sinking. Whenever I go on a boat trip, I always make sure I am outside so that I can easily escape if anything does happen. I'm scared of kayaking and canoeing on the sea too as I am scared I will capsize and drown. If there is someone else in my kayak with me then I feel a lot safer. For some reason, doing all of the above activities on a lake or river feels completely different and I love it!

My fourth fear is of Bears. I never knew this was a fear of mine until I was put into a situation where I could become vulnerable to it. When I went too America last year, one of the places we travelled too were the White Mountains near North Conway aka the prettiest place I have ever been! We wanted to go hiking and I was so excited to explore and do some exercise. However, before we started the hike, we had to read lots of information on Bears and how we must act if we are ever approached by one. This made me really nervous and I became incredibly paranoid of my surroundings as we started our hike. I got myself overly worked up and I started to panic. We couldn't finish the hike as I convinced myself that I was going to get eaten so I refused to go any further. I didn't see a Bear during my whole holiday but the thought and fear was still just as strong.

My fifth fear is of tablets. I hate taking tablets and I won't take medicine unless I really feel I have too or I am in a lot of pain. I am so scared that a tablet will get stuck in my throat so it takes me ages to actually swallow them. I have so much difficulty that I usually end up chewing them - which tastes disgusting!

My sixth fear is of clowns. I hate that everything about them is so fake, you don't know who the actual person underneath is. They are just all round creepy.

My final fear is a bit deep, but I have a fear of failure. I am scared about not succeeding in education, in work and life in general. I always fear that I am going to let other people down if I fail at something.

So those are my fears, what are yours?

Get To Know Me Tag!

Hi everyone!

I was nominated by prettyrainclouds to do the 'get to know me tag' so thank you Leonie for nominating me! Make sure you all go check out her blog. I have done a similar post to this before on my blog, in fact it was my first ever post over 2 years ago! So I guess it is time I do an updated version so you can all get to know me a bit better, especially for all my new readers.

1. How old are you?
I am 18 years old and my birthday is the 3rd January. 

2. Tea or Coffee?
Neither, I'm definitely not your typical Brit! The only hot drink I really like is Hot Chocolate with lots of mini marshmallows!

3. Are you allergic to anything?
I'm allergic to Cats and I can have quite a bad reaction if I am around them for a long time, but it doesn't really bother me as I am much more of a Dog person! I am also allergic to face masks so I have to be really careful about what creams and skincare items I use.

4.Favourite social media?
This is a difficult one, I guess I probably should say YouTube as I post videos every Sunday. However, I am super obsessed with Instagram and Snapchat.

5. Best thing to eat for breakfast?
I'm not a huge breakfast lover so I'm going to be basic and say Granola! 

6. Favourite YouTubers?
How can I pick just one! I love Colleen Evans, Miranda Sings, Rachel Ballinger, Kory DeSoto, Rebecca Zamolo and Joshua Evans.

7. Favourite Bloggers?
I have so many, but I really love Prettyrainclouds, Amy's Life, and Geraldine's Wonderful World.

8. Do you play any instruments?
I do! I can play the Keyboard and I am teaching myself how to play the Ukulele - I love it!

9. Are you a righty or a lefty?
I am a righty.

10. Do you remember your dreams?
I usually remember my scary dreams even if I had them years ago!

11. City Girl or Country Girl?
This is a hard one! I love going out for long walks in the country but I also love being in the hustle and bustle of the city so I would probably say city!

12. Do you have any siblings?
I have one older brother,

13. Can you whistle?
Not really, sometimes if I am looking after a dog I can whistle for them to come to me but I can't whistle a tune.

14. Lush vs Bath and Body Works?
I would say Lush purely because we don't have Bath and Body Works in the Uk. However, every time I go too America, I pretty much buy the whole store so I think Bath and Body Works comes out on top!

15. Favourite Season?
Autumn/Fall. I love everything about it! The colours are so pretty and I love going for long walks with all the leaves on the ground. I also love being able to wear cosy jumpers but it still being warm enough to go outside without a coat.

16. What was your least favourite subject at school?
I actually really enjoyed School but my least favourite subjects were Maths and Science. I found Science interesting but I was just never very good at it. I have always been much more of an English and History girl!

17. Do you sing in the shower?
I sometimes put on my music while I shower and sing along but I am always singing, regardless of what I am doing I will be singing! I'm not a good singer, I just enjoy it!

18. Favourite food?
Any Mexican food I will devour! I also really love Pizza and Pasta!

19. How do you vent your anger?
I usually write it down, I keep a journal where if I feel really mad or sad I just write about it and it really helps. I rarely tell people how I feel so it is a lot better to write it down than just keep it in. I rarely get angry, I get annoyed but never angry.

20. Converse or Vans?
Vans 100%! I have some Disney Vans with Minnie Mouse on them and they are my favourite shoes, I wear them everywhere!

That is the end of this tag, I hope you all enjoyed! I am not going to tag anyone specifically, instead I tag anyone who is reading this. Let me know if you do do the tag, I would love to get to know you all more!

Meeting Colleen Evans/Miranda Sings (twice)!

Hi everyone!

So today's post is going to be slightly different as I want to tell you all about the 19th and 20th of August, aka two of the happiest days I have ever had! I went to see and meet Colleen Evans also known as the 5 threat (singer, actor, dancer, model, magician) 'Miranda Sings. If any of you don't know who Colleen is, she is a youtuber and posts videos as both herself, psychosoprano, and her kooky alter-ego Miranda Sings.

I really want to remember everything that happened so I am going to break down the post into some key parts; buying the tickets, the journey, meeting Colleen and the show. I went to see Colleen with my best friend, Leonie, so if you want to hear about our experience from her point of view then make sure you check out her blog - trust me it's funny!

Ticket Buying

Back in April, I had a slight hunch that Colleen would be touring the Uk soon as she kept on dropping sly hints in videos so me being the keen bean I am, did a little bit of research and found some dates on ticketmaster that she had not actually released yet. She then did announce a whole European tour which included a date in London - I was so excited! I was slightly nervous as I needed to get time off work but my manager is so sweet and she let me take it out of my holiday. The tickets were £60 so I assumed they were meet and greet tickets. The ticket company and the venue were adamant that there were no VIP tickets available for this show so a few of us tweeted Colleen asking her if this was true and she replied to myself and another girl! She told us that she would sort it out and there were definitely meet and greets available. This was the first fangirl attack and problem of our trip, little did we know there would be many more to come! I was so excited that I was going to be meeting Colleen, I couldn't contain it!

A couple of weeks later, Colleen announced that she was going to be performing a second show at Indigo at the O2 in London as her first show completely sold out within half an hour. I couldn't resist buying another set of VIP tickets as this show was on the Friday before so there was no issue over work. I know it is probably a bit weird going to the same show two days in a row, but when some one means as much too you as Colleen means to me, then I think you would do the same too. Again the tickets were only £60 too so they weren't mega expensive. I was also really happy that I had a 50/50 chance of getting a decent meet and greet photo.

The Journey

Leonie and I got the train to London Waterloo and then got the tube direct to North Greenwich. Our journey took about an hour and a half altogether and it was super easy as we have both travelled to London many times before so we knew where we were going. We did spend about £80 on train tickets but it included a travel-card which allowed us to go anywhere on the tube and use the London buses if we wished too.

When we arrived at the O2, we waited around a lot and even waited outside in the rain to greet Colleen as she arrived. We met some lovely girls who were also seeing Colleen so they made waiting around more bearable as we were all being silly and having a lot of fun!

Colleen waved at us driving in both Friday and Saturday which made us super excited. She looked so genuinely happy to see us which made all of us really happy too!

The journey back was just as simple apart from Leonie and I almost passing out because we had to run for our train on Saturday. If you ever use the underground in London, just a little advice, don't run up and down the really long escalators as you won't be able to breathe for the next 15 minutes!

The Meet and Greet

August 19th: The meet and greet started at 5pm where Colleen does a 15 minute question and answer session and then you get to go on stage and have your photo taken. She doesn't have enough time to answer everyone's question so you just have to stick your hand up and hope for the best. Leonie and I were first in the queue so we ended up getting front row seats for the Q+A! Colleen also answered my question which I was super shocked about, I asked her what she was most excited about for her puppy. She also said that she loved my "lol ur not colleen evans" tshirt.

When we got on to the stage, Leonie and I started chatting to Gwen (Colleen's mum) who was so sweet and we told her that we were coming back again the following day, she seemed really happy! I also hugged Kory, Colleens best friend and tour assistant. Colleen is the sweetest person but I got really flustered and didn't say much too her! I look like a toe in my meet and greet pictures from the 19th but they are slowly growing on me. We got a red VIP wristband for this show.

August 20th: The meet and greet again started at 5pm, but this time Leonie and I decided to go to the back of the queue as we wanted to be some of the last people meeting Colleen. We also had to go through security scanners, like the ones they have at airports. I'm not too sure what these were doing as they beeped every time someone walked through but in regards to everyone's safety I was fine going through them.

We decided to sit right at the back in the middle, this turned out to be a really good spot as we could see Colleen really clearly and the girls we met the previous day also joined us. This meet and greet was really special as it was soon to be Gwen's birthday so Colleen surprised her by flying out her dad, Tim, and sister, Rachel, all the way from California to spend her birthday with them. We all got to watch the surprise and I remember turning to Leonie and us both saying "we get to meet Rachel" in very excited voices!

Colleen answered my question again which I didn't expect, this time I asked "what is the best thing about meeting fans all over the world?". Her reply was the cutest thing ever, it made a lot of us cry, including myself. Colleen saw me crying and sent me an air hug and told me that she loved me, this in turn made me cry more!

We then got selfies with Gwen, Kory and Rachel and we had professional pictures taken with Colleen. These ones turned out to be a lot nicer as I asked her to be Colleen and not Miranda for the photo. I remember being taken off guard because Colleen greeted me as herself but as she was hugging me she whispered 'hello' in my ear as Miranda and it startled me! Again, I didn't really speak to Colleen which I am sad about but I did chat with Rachel who was super sweet! We got a gold VIP wristband for this show.

The Show

August 19th: For the show on Friday, we got front row seats which was amazing! We were so close to Colleen and she even made eye contact with us when singing!

The four girls that we had made friends with also turned out to be sitting right next to us which made it so much more fun! We tried to get everyone hyped up for the show but if you have watched Colleen's vlog from that day, you can see that it didn't really work! The show was amazing, I have never laughed so much before, I had a great time. There is a part of the show where Miranda brings a boy onto the stage and they go on a date. For this show, a little boy called James was picked and he had everyone in stitches. I have never seen Colleen break character so much before, to the point where she wasn't even trying to stay as Miranda anymore.

August 20th: For the second show, we were six rows back but we possibly had a better view of the stage as we could see all the way across. I think Colleen recognised Leonie and I as she kept on staring at us while performing and she even pointed at me during 'Do the Miranda' as she sang "hey you over there with the porn hair" which I don't know whether to take as a compliment or not! The show was equally just as good and it was still different to the previous as she brings up different members of the audience on stage.

I also bought a bit too much merchandise - oops! I got a Miranda Camp tshirt as it has all the dates from tour on the back, I also got a friendship bracelet which has a purple love heart charm for Colleen and a lipstick for Miranda and I also got a signed poster.

I am still completely taken back by Colleen's talent, sometimes I think she is overlooked due to Miranda but when you listen to her sing 'Defying Gravity' or do her opera magician act, it really gives you chills! My favourite part of the show was when Colleen sang 'Reading Mean Comments' and her opera magician act. I wish Colleen sang a bit more as herself as personally I am more of a fan of her than Miranda, weird I know as they are the same person. All in all, I had an amazing time! I honestly have never felt happier! I think I forgot how much I needed to just be happy and have some fun!

If you ever get the chance to see Colleen perform, I 100% would recommend going! The one thing that really stood out for me is that Colleen is not the slightest bit fake, the person you see in videos is the person you meet. She is so kindhearted and generous and some of the things she has done for her fans this tour just proves that!

If you want to see my vlog from these two days, it will be up on my YouTube channel this Sunday (28th August).

Live Lokai...

Hi everyone!

Back in June I purchased a Lokai bracelet for myself and my best friend Leonie. I have wanted one for ages and finally caved in and got one. I really love the simple design and the silicone material that makes it super comfortable to wear. 

The Lokai bracelet symbolises balance in your life. The white bead contains water from Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth and the black bead contains mud from the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. It is supposed to reflect how when you reach a high point in your life you need to remain humble and when you reach a low point, remind yourself that there are better things to come! The meaning behind the bracelet is more important than the bracelet itself.

Lokai also donates 10% of its net profit to charity partners so it is a really good company to purchase from.

I think the product is really cool so I just wanted to write a little post on a current favourite. If you are a bit of a photography geek like me, then you will love these bracelets as they make perfect pictures. I wanted to share with you some of mine to show you where in my life my Lokai bracelet has come with me!

Unique Blogger Award!

Hello everyone!

Today I have an awards post as I was nominated by Leonie from prettyrainclouds so thank you so much Leonie! Make sure you check out her amazing blog!

These are the rules for this award:

• Thank the blogger who nominated you
• Nominate 8-13 bloggers to do this award and give them three questions of your own to answer
• Answer their 3 questions
• Include one meme and one quote that you like
• Add a link to the creator - https://tekehdddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.wordpress.com/

Here are Leonie's questions for me:

1. If you could ask anyone, whether they are alive or not, 10 questions (that they have to answer truthfully) who would you choose and what would be some of the questions you'd ask?

This is a really tough question! I would probably want to ask the Queen 10 questions because it's not everyday that you would be able to get the gossip from the Palace! My questions would probably vary from genuine interesting questions too silly questions. I would definitely ask her what the bathrooms are like at Buckingham Palace and whether she would ever get a dog that isn't a Corgi. So you know, the important questions!

2. If you could create your own law, what would it be?

I would probably make a law that would banish handheld weapons such as guns or machete's in homes. I know we have a gun law in the Uk but in other places in the world they don't and I feel that the world needs more love and less hate. If banning guns helped stop violence and senseless acts of terror, which I know it would, then that would make me very happy!

3. What is one of your greatest fears?

I am a bit of an all round scaredy cat, so it is hard to narrow my fears down to just one. In fact I do have a blog post coming out soon where I explain some of my fears. Both my top fears are equal too eachother so I am going to have to write both. My first fear is a fear of getting trapped or locked in small spaces. I do get claustrophobic in small places so the thought of getting stuck in an elevator or a toilet cubicle really scares me - weird I know! My second fear is of the sea. I am okay with paddling in the sea and occasionally swimming but put me on a boat or kayak and I freak out. I hate not being able to see what is around me and I get scared that I going to drown. 

I don't really use memes that much so I don't know whether you would class this as one but it is Kim Kardashian 'tragic'. Just purely because it can be used in any situation. Kardashian memes are probably ones I use the most.

I have so many favourite quotes so it is quite hard to pick just one. I would say 'Don't ever let anyone dull your sparkle' as I say this at the end of all my youtube videos. I think it promotes an important message of doing what makes you happy and not caring what other people think. However, recently my favourite quotes have been 'Choose Happiness' and 'Kill them with kindness'.

I nominate:

And anyone who is reading! :)

My questions for you are:
1. If you could be any famous person dead or alive for the day who would you be, why and what would you do?
2. If one song was the soundtrack to your life what would it be?
3. What is your ultimate life goal?
