Hello!

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

Many of my upcoming posts will follow the theme of being 'cheap' or me sourcing some super awesome bargains. I love to share when I'm able to get my hands on a great deal, whether that's a lovely vintage dress from a charity shop, or a clearance in the makeup isles you can bet I'm always searching for the next great buy!

While I have the chance I just want to introduce myself, so here's 20 facts about me!

1. I am 18 years old
2. I have a YouTube channel which I am very proud of
3. Most of the makeup in my collection isn't used
4. I have 4 cats and one dog
5. I am really into gaming, I play on Xbox One and soon to be playing on PC
6. I have a clothing rail filled with clothes I don't wear
7. My sister is a younger, more annoying version of me and appears occasionally on my social media
8. I live in the most eastern town in the UK
9. I have 4 piercings (it used to be 5 but I took my lip piercing out)
10. I am very cheap, the least I spend the better
11. Most of my makeup/beauty items have been brought discounted, been given to me for free or have been traded for other things
12. I am terrible at saving so I'm basically broke all of the time
13. I work in a little shop, part time
14. Although I have the biggest bedroom I still don't have enough space in here for all of my junk
15. I have to declutter regularly if not I would be dubbed a hoarder
16. I get called a 'fake gamer girl' because I don't have time to play online as often as I used to and that sucks
17. Despite having a fairly good fashion sense I always look like I stumbled out of a trash bag
18. I have a boyfriend who I've been with for two years now, he's a big part of my life! He helps out with editing for my YouTube videos all of the time, so supportive
19. Charity shops end up taking most of my money as I can get some quality items for a fraction of retail price
20. Poundland is probably my second home, please don't judge it's just fabulous

So I know those facts were probably rather boring but I'm not used to this form of expressing myself, usually I speaking to a camera alone in my room, now I'm typing on the bus trying to think of what to write.

I wanted to keep this short and sweet and let you find out the rest yourself, thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again :)
