Did You Know… [Part One of Five]

One of my 101 goals, was to write & publish 100 facts about me & a lot of you that completed the survey, wanted to know more personal things about the lady behind the lens & blog, so here is part one!

1. By now, you’ll know that bright & vibrant colours run right through my life, from my photographic work, to my wardrobe to my make-up. High saturation ticks all the right boxes for me & I’m not afraid to be bold & get noticed.

2. Given my love for pink, sequins, celeb culture & general good-girly-times, it probably wouldn’t surprise you that I like chart music— but I’m also partial to (death) metal. Bit of The Black Dahlia Murder, anyone?

3. I love cosmetics & own 12 glitter eyeliners, plus a ludicrous amount of eyeshadows & pigments, as well as numerous bronzers, blushers, nail polishes & hair products. And a £100 trolley to whip it all around in!

4. I’m addicted to Spearmint Trebor Extra Strong Mints & minty things in general: softmints; toothpaste; mint choc chip ice-cream; After Eight mints; gum; lip balm— nom nom nom! Fresh.

5. I like the fruity smell of unlit tobacco, but hate smoking, not only because of the health risks, but that skanky, stale smell of old smoke that clings to your hair, clothes, curtains & any available fabric! Stank.

6. I’m a complete foodie & eat / cook for pleasure, not survival. I could never be a fussy eater! The only things I’ve tried & don’t like are brussel sprouts, pure dark chocolate & pies full of rich gravy.

7. I visit the Procrastination Station regularly. (Hello? I could be doing something productive right now, but instead I’m being really quite narcissistic.) I can always think of something I ‘must’ do, when I should be doing housework!

8. My blood type is O+.

9. I love that my name’s not just spelt a-m-y (despite the frustration of most people getting it wrong & spelling it Amiee!)

10. I’m very visually indecisive, which is why I constantly change layouts & could probably never get a tattoo. I’m always looking back through my photographs & thinking of new ways to re-invent them.

11. I met my partner at work– it wasn’t love at first sight, as we didn’t start talking for almost a year! But a mutual love of some bands brought us together & within a week of our first date, we were official! And still together over 4 years later.

12. I can’t judge the length of car journeys & usually end up being late! This is probably one of my worst traits.

13. I love long train journeys (providing I have a seat) & listening to my iPod & writing notes & generally being quite romanticised about the whole thing– although rubbing sweaty shoulders with the person next to me, while crammed in like sardines during a delay, is usually the situation!

14. I rarely sing in front of people (so there’s always that chance I could have an amazing hidden talent & be the next Mariah, without even knowing, eh?!)

15. I have a beauty spot on my stomach that I used to call my “chocolate chip” when I was younger.

16. I do most of my thinking & plan out my day, when in the bath/shower. It’s the one place I can be alone, with no distractions!

17. I own close to 70 handbags. And that’s after a major clear-out!

18. I have a few very close friends, rather than a big group of acquaintances, which is the way I prefer it. I recently whittled down my Facebook friends & deleted 200 people from my life! It felt good.

19. I’d rather be boiling hot, than freezing cold— I’d choose Summer over Winter, any day! Summer is so much more exciting than any other season— beaches, holidays, ice-creams, sunshine, long days. Good times!

20. I love lists: shopping; to do; wishlists; photography ideas; happy things; this!; anything & everything! Actually ticking things off of them however, is a whole new problem.
