Blogtober #25 - The October Blog Tag

Pumpkins, autumn, lifestyle, the October blog tag, blogtober, tag


I was recently scrolling through my Bloglovin' feed when I came across the October Blog Tag on the beautiful Jemma's blog Dorkface. She said at the end she would love to see the rest of us fill it in so I thought it would make the perfect Blogtober post.


NAME
Full name? Rachel Mary Ann Christie Stinson

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR?
Blue but light blue specifically!

WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?
I was at work and then came home and had my dinner. Now I am writing blog posts.

WHERE ARE YOU CURRENTLY?
In the world? Northern Ireland. 
In my house? In the wee room at the front of our house which is used for many things such as a utility/craft/office room.

WHAT IS YOUR STAR SIGN?
I am an Aries and I am a very proud one too!

CAKE OR ICE CREAM?
Ah.. probably cake but only if it's chocolate or one that my mum has made!

FROZEN OR MOANA?
Probably Moana. I do like Frozen but I enjoy the theming of Moana more.

A NIGHT IN OR A NIGHT OUT?
I would have to say both. Nights in are amazing, especially with great friends around. However, I do love getting all dressed up and going out with my friends.

HOME COOKED MEAL OR A TAKEAWAY?
I do love a takeaway but nothing beats a home cooked meal. Especially if it's home cooked by my mummy!

PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA - YES OR NO?
I am actually in the yes camp on this. I really enjoy cooked pineapple - sometimes more than uncooked.

BOOKS OR FILMS?
I love reading but I do find myself watching more films and TV these days. That an I am an avid DVD collector.

AUTUMN OR SPRING?
Spring usually means that my birthday is near but I do love getting cosy in big jumpers and cardigans for Autumn.

FLOWERS OR CHOCOLATES?
Flowers are so beautiful and mean so much - even if it's just a small bunch from a supermarket!

FULL FAT OR DIET COKE?
Diet Coke all the way. I am not a fan of the taste of full fat coke. I prefer Pepsi Max, Diet Pepsi etc.

PHONE OR LAPTOP?
This is hard as I spend a lot of time on my phone and also my iMac. I may have to say phone though!

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT FAVOURITE TV SERIES?
I am not very good at watching anything that is currently on TV and therefore, popular. I recently watched Dirty Sexy Money for the first time which is amazing and I have been re-watching Shades of Blue with my mum in preparation to finally catch up on season 3 of it. I am also a fan of The Good Doctor.

FAVOURITE THING TO DO IN OCTOBER?
It has to be seeing how excited my mum gets buying real pumpkins for the house. She loves pumpkins and always buys one as decorations that she keeps for as long as she can. Makes me very happy. I like to buy her one too!

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT FOOD TO CRAVE?
My mum makes her own sour cream and chive dip for me every weekend so I can dip some breadsticks or crisps into it whilst watching Strictly and X Factor! Amazing!

DO YOU HAVE ANY PIERCINGS OR TATTOOS?
I currently don't have any tattoos but I really want to get one. I know what I want I just have never gotten the courage to do it! I have 7 piercings, all in my ears. Three in each ear lobe and one cartilage piercing.  I would love more piercings in my ears too!

ARE YOU AN INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT?
I'm not really sure I am very much of one or the other. I feel that I am a bit of a mix. When I get to know you I am very chatty and loud. If I don't know you I do tend to stay very quiet and I am not the biggest fan of big gatherings of people unless I know at least someone there.

WHAT IS YOUR ALL TIME FAVOURITE HALLOWEEN FILM?
I don't think I have one I am not a fan of horror movies or that genre really - boring I know!

NAME YOUR TOP 3 ARTISTS/BANDS?
Green Day, Michael Jackson... I cannot think of a third. Those are the main two that spring to my mind!

ANY HALLOWEEN PLANS?
Nope no plans so far. I am however, the kind of person who makes some very last minute plans and could end up planning to head out an hour before I'm meant to!

DO YOU HAVE ANY FEARS?
Falling from a great height, dying and letting people down/making mistakes!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER LOVE?
Course I do. I was in love and it didn't work out. Doesn't mean my life is over! Far from it actually.

DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN (OR ANIMALS YOU TREAT AS BABIES)?
I think by now you all know I have a fur baby called Molly!

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR FUTURE?
To be happy and healthy. To be loved and to feel loved. I would also love to run my own business and re-home as many dogs as I possibly can!

BE HONEST, WHY DID YOU START BLOGGING?
I was taking a year out after uni and didn't have a job. I wanted to feel like I was doing something and also learn more about this world as I had heard so much about it. Here we are four years later!

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR?
Obtaining a first class honours degree - which I worked my ass off for. Then managing to stay employed in a temporary post long enough to interview for it permanently and getting that job!

WHAT ARE YOUR AMBITIONS WITH YOUR BLOG?
To keep growing and maintain consistency.

IF THERE IS ONE THING YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT YOUR BLOG, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I wouldn't say change but I would like to make my photographs look better. I always think they could be improved just a little. I would probably add more features to my layout too but I like how simple it is as well.

HAVE YOU ACHIEVED ANY BLOG GOALS YOU SET OUT THIS YEAR?
I didn't set any blog goals apart from wanting to do Blogtober and so far I have posted for 25 days in a row - YAY!

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE IN 10 YEARS TIME?
Either running my own dog related business or a few grades higher at work! I would also like to own my own house by then!

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM HOLIDAY?
Hawaii or stay in The Polynesian Resort in WDW. I would also love to go back to NYC and stay in a five star hotel!

IF YOU HAD AN ENTIRE DAY TO YOURSELF WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Hmm, I would probably watch some of the movies in my collection that I haven't seen yet and get some more blogging done! Or lets be totally honest, sleep the day away!


I really enjoyed doing this tag and I hope you enjoyed reading it!
