Happy Wednesday darling dolls!! I hope your week is faring well so far!?! The weather has been boosted here & it's been sunny every day this week...long may it continue. I hope the sun has been shining for all of you as well. A long while ago I got tagged to do one of these (I have a lot of tags to do, so I will try and get to them all as I can). I am not good at talking about myself, so I hope these aren't too bad. I do love answering questions, so if any of you ever want to ask me anything, feel free to do so. As requested for more 'personal' posts, I am going to try and do more of them here and there!
Have a great day my dollfaces
xoxoxoxo
1. I decided to be brave & entered a Street Style competition of Rokit Vintage - if you could be so kind & give my picture a like if you have a facebook account (as it's connected to facebook) I'd really appreciate it very much. I don't enter these things normally, but I'm trying to be more brave. You just hit the link to like my picture - Here
2. I'm extremely timid & nervous meeting people for the first time to the point I feel ill. But, once I'm there, I'm ok & a bit crazy ;-)
3. I tear up when others cry, even if it's on tv, in a book, on the street. I can't watch these shows that surprise people with money or lost relatives, I'm in tears before it begins.
4. I like up-cycling/making things, I'm always keeping scraps of fabrics, buttons and other objects to create something new.
5. I'm a Christian, I believe in God. I read my Bible. This doesn't mean I will judge you, it just means I will love you as you are...despite what many of the world's 'Christians' may say. I have respect for all beliefs & enjoy learning about them.
6. One day I want to create a garden just like the one in the movie/book 'The Secret Garden' because I love that book so much! Over-flowing with flowers. I'll also have peacocks & bunnies in there too. (I'll keep them safe) ;-)
7. Contrary to the lovely compliments I get through my blog & in real life, I grew up as the 'ugly duckling' & used to get teased a lot. It took a long time to be able to look at myself & not see that girl that got picked on.
8. I hope to live a life that inspires others, even if it's only one person. I don't want to live to serve myself, I rather make a difference.

9. I love all things vampire - books, shows, movies! I could watch The Lost Boys, Queen of the Damned & others over and over.
10. I like sports, I watch football (soccer) with my husband, I used to play field hockey growing up. I once fractured my foot playing football but went on to score a few goals and block some before being taken off the field.
11. I love houses with bright colours in them, it reminds me of being in art museums. The only room I like neutrals in is my livingroom/media room because I like to relax when reading or watching movies.
12. Alexander McQueen is one of my favourite designers, his work is like fantasy meets reality, out there and amazing. Just a shame he's no longer here with us. I would sell all my clothes to have one of his couture creations.
13. With the birth of both of my daughters, I had no pain relief. I actually walked my oldest to school (3 blocks) the day I gave birth. I just kept a positive mind & did what I needed. 2 pushes - all done! (Thank God).

14. I hope to one day travel & see countries like Brazil, Spain, Cuba, Mexico & Japan.
15. I once got Pharrell Williams' song 'Happy' stuck in my head for a week, it even woke me from sleep playing in my head & dreams...I would wake up thinking...'WTF...this is not making me happy!! Haha...but it is a great song, just not on repeat for a week ;D
16. I love the small things in life that people usually pass by, flowers growing out of buildings, clouds shaped like hearts, when random people start talking to me on the street, Makes days better.
17. I went to a gig (concert) once to see a friend's band play and this man said hello to me from a relatively dark spot in the room & I thought he looked familiar, but it didn't dawn on me until mid-show that it was the lead singer of Snow Patrol & I let out a shriek. He was nice anyways, ha!
18. I am a freak for offices, stationary and all the stuff that goes in them. I'd be well happy with my own office with all the gadgets in it.
19. Females that don't support other females irritate me & I'd like to give them a slappin'. The rights & treatment of women is already messed up without us making it harder for each other. Guys stick together...we should too!
20. The singer James Blunt once kissed me on the face (very near the lips) when my husband and I met him many years ago. I was mortified because people were snapping pictures & saying, 'awww'

done !! Wow, loved to know u better, it gives me idea to the same for my blog too !
ReplyDeleteBTW, my primary school friends called me ugly duckling too, maybe coz of my hair , or maybe we just learned about the story then , can't figure out !

You are stunning my dear...they teased you because you were different and marvellous and sometimes people are afraid of what they don't understand, so they tease & also some people are just plain rude and mean. But, you are wonderful and a very sweet woman!! XO
DeleteDon´t let anyone bring you down again, your a beautiful woman! If I had FB, I´d vote for you!
ReplyDeleteI won't my sweet...you are a beautiful woman too :) Thank you so much, so kind!! Xxx
DeleteEvery time I read one of these posts on your blog I'm amazed at how many fun and wonderful facts you manage to list. Having "Happy" stuck in your head for a week is hilarious (or maybe not) and your birth story just makes me plain jealous (as somebody who had the worst time ever) :-) A lovely, positive post and lots of fab facts. Hope the sun will stay for the weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy, takes me ages to think of stuff :) Sorry you had a bad time, I know a lot of ladies do. But, you have a beautiful son with extreme talent :)) I hope the sun is shining for you too doll, it's lovely here xo
DeleteEveryone of your thought is deep in my soul too.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you can travel to me one day or me to you.
The universe will definitely decide.
Love and sunshine in your soul ALWAYS
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Yes, we must travel to see each other, it would be wonderful XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Love & Sunshine to you too ALWAYS
DeleteI love these pictures so much, there is something dark and mysterious about them!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with #19, that annoys me when women don't support other women. Great to get to know you more, so much I'm sure we did not know, especially the James Blunt situation! :-) I voted for you! Good luck! I don't usually do competitions either, but taking risks are good.
ReplyDelete/Madison x
Thank you doll. Yes, it is very annoying, we need to stick together. And thank you for the vote, I appreciate it xx
DeleteIt's nice know you better dear! I'm really shy too sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteMorning Kizzy! I do always enjoy these tags from blogger since I could know them better. First of all, ouf course already voted for u (this morning, Im ur 6th like, good luck with it!); then, what James Blunt?! Lol, it must have been amazing! But does it make your husband jealous then? Joking!:) Im very shy as well if you meet me the first time, I need to know well a person before to be "me". Love the song HAppy as well, actually it is in my mind now!:D I hate when women do not support each other, it irritates me and usually I just ignore them. The photos are wonderful Kizzy because so are you!:) Have a lovely Wed, hugs and kisses! xo
ReplyDeleteHello doll! Yes, I'll try to do them more often :)) Thank you very much, so kind. No, my husband wasn't jealous, it's ok. I prefer my husband to James Blunt <3 I hope you have a gorgeous day my dear!! hugs and kisses to you too xo
Deletebeautiful pics, kisses
ReplyDeletethank you, kisses
DeleteMy vote for the Street Style competition has been cast! And I really think you look the best among all the other people who entered. WIN!!! :) Just like you I was someone who got bullied around in school. So I know how difficult it is to get compliments and really believe in them now... I even have a hard time telling people I'm a model, when they ask me what I do. Even though I even have a contract with an agency. I just wonder how all this happened, when I got to hear so many bad words about the way I looked in school... But at the same time I think it's BECAUSE of this I will always stay humble, no matter how many "likes" Miss Meadows gets in "her" Facebook page. Haha! I will never become an obnoxious diva who thinks she's "all that" ;) And I also think it was those bad words from other people who made us strong enough to go our own ways and become the super women we are today! Cheers! :) <3 <3 <3
ReplyDelete<33333333333333 Going through stuff like that does make one more humble and appreciative of good things when they come along! And you are a beautiful model indeed, know it doll!! <333333333
DeleteLove this post!!! Im exactly the same in number 5 ^^

Thank you so much, that's very humbling to read. I am just me :) Yes, it was very sad that he is gone, especially with such a talent, sad that there was something there that made him not want to be alive anymore...very sad. Hope you are having a great week too doll. Loves & hugs to you Xxx
DeleteHi doll!!! I voted for you!! Fingers crossed!! Hope you win. We have a lot in common. I love all Vampire movies and series too. I have seen the Lost Boys and Queen of the Damned countless times. I cried when Aaliyah died. God bless her soul. I haven't read the book The Secret Garden yet but I have seen the b&w film. It's so amazing. Have a happy Wednesday Kizzy!!

HAHAHAHA I don't think I'll ever experience it. i wouldn't think you would get nervous meeting people for the first time. you wouldn't be nervous with me. i would say girl, we don't have time to be nervous! what are we gonna do today!

ReplyDeleteThank you doll. Yes, I love the Brazil team too :)) Kisses to you too :)
DeleteWe have so much in common:)! Some of these things I have already knew about you but it's always great to learn more. That situation with James Blunt sounds funny:) meeting celebrities is always kind of surreal.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have your secret garden some day! and that you get to travel to many countries and to my own :)!
Thank you doll, I hope so too. You will be invited :)) And yes, I hope I get to travel to your country too, it would be marvellous :) xx

DeleteLove these pics of you and also love to read about you! We have so much in common. I was the ugly duckling too (still not a swan, but at least a better looking duck, I mean me ;D). I'm sorry you got bullied but look at you now, you are gorgeous :). I'm a Christian too and it's important for me, but maybe it's more a cultural background.. ? I believe in God too but I fall somewhere in the New Age category thoughts-wise.

Yes. Thank you doll xx
DeleteSuch a sweet post! And once again I see that we have many things in common - not kissing James Blunt, though!
ReplyDeletehahaha
Yes yes...hahaha ;)
DeleteIt's so nice to know you more. I understand how you feel about the song "Happy" by Pharell. It is a great song but the radios here in Toronto keeps playing it one after the other that it is quite annoying now. Lucky you to have an easy childbirth experience. I admire Alexander McQueen too. He is very talented. Too bad he is no longer with us. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHaha..yes, many songs are over-played, it's crazy. Least its a positive song. Hope you have a wonderful week too x
Deleteit was interesting reading all those things! and congrats on getting past all those nasty comments from highschool- you're beautiful! :)

Thank you doll, so sweet :) xx
DeleteThis is very sweet Kizzy and I appreciate your honesty. I think women DO need to support one another and express their true feelings. We have more commonalities that we might think. Being bullied is very sad and something many of us ~ including myself, have struggled with. Blogging is so wonderful because you can take your time, and when you feel comfortable.. share things. The blog world is generally a supportive place thankfully! xxleslie
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you used to be an "ugly duckling". Clearly you are peaking now. I love reading all these bits and bobs about people so this was a really interesting read. You write so well - you shouldn't be so scared! I found a few points we have in similar towards the start of your post - I'm quite introverted so meeting new people gives me that sickly feeling too. And you replay the scenario of the meet over and over in your mind until you actually meet them! But actually, they're not scary monsters at all, but usually just nice friendly people. I am also the same with crying at absolutely everything. Even tears from my worst enemy would bring the same to my eyes. People on the street crying, my friends crying, people on TV crying, anything will set me off. Having said that, I can pull off quite the pokerface! I can't believe you own geckos! Wowww. I'd really like a few turtles or iguanas or something. Rosemary x
ReplyDeleterosemaryofelephants.blogspot.com
Ha..thank you. Yes, geckos...I'd like another one, a bunny, a bearded dragon and a blue day gecko :) x
DeleteI have to say these pics of you are truly stunning! Such increible eyes...
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of these!!

ReplyDeleteSo touching that you've shared these things with us!!,
besos, querida!
wow! You look great! Lucy www.tpinkcarpet.com
ReplyDeleteDear Kizzy, wow, you told so much about yourself in this post - makes you even more sympathic to me! And the pix are gorgeous too! Was an "ugly duckling" as a kid as well - the bonus of this: we get better, as we get older! Tee her! Have a fantastic weekend of easter fun!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. You are gorgeous inside and out! It is horrible how those silly things as children stay with us. I'm so jealous you have been in the presence of both Gary Lightbody and James Blunt. I actually think my boyfriend would be jealous too. :) Keep inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI am a Christian and I love this movie as well, the secret garden. Xoxo :)
ReplyDeletehttp://liveoutloudpris.weebly.com/
Wow, loved learning these things about you! It is a very sad thing how cruel people can be to each other, even women. However, I've accepted that for as many mean people there are in the world, there are also as many nice people; at least I like to tell myself that. I also love Snow Patrol and getting kissed by James Blunt?! Ha ha ha! -Jess L
ReplyDeleteI loe to find out more about you. We definitely have some similarities. You are a really beautiful kind person...it has finally stopped raining here in time for easter, wishing you a wonderful and sunny weekend.
ReplyDeleteI voted for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat tag!
Going to Brazil next year with my family, lets go together LOL.

First of all I want to say how gorgeous those photographs are! You look simply amazing through these black lace, so mysterious and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI also really glad that you've decided to write some more details abotu your personality, it's aways interesting to read about such original people as you are. I love everything you've written about being a Christian, I quite agree with you here!
By the way 'The Secret Garden' is one of my favourite books too, I guess you already know:)
Have a good day, dear Kizzy!
You look stunning girl! lookin forward to get to know you more better.

Hi Kizzy! This post has been very interesting you're a special and unique person, I really like your blog because it makes me enter a fantastic world! I like people as you doll!
ReplyDeletewww.urbanikamoda.blogspot.com
Hello Kizzy. I think I mentioned a few times before that I really love to read personal posts as it allows me to identify and connect with the blog author more. I'm so glad that you did this post. Now where should I start?
ReplyDeleteFirstly, the Happy song is playing in the background now. Yeah, it's been in my huby's head for quite a while and also every now and then, I would play if from Youtube just to feel the groove. I've just voted for you on FB. I think you are currently in the top 3. As much as I look outgoing, I'm just like you, really nervous and timid before meeting new people.
I don't know if I consider myself a Christian. I don't go church but I believe in God. I do not believe in many things Christians say and do too and I'm so glad I found another Christian who have respect for all beliefs and enjoy learning about the various religions. Many Christians I know condemn other beliefs and it is just so sad. I have an aunt who is much too Christian in a way I didn't like. She often sang praises about how my dad is so kind, such a loving hub and father and simply a really a good man but she ended her line with "too bad he is not a Christian". That really got me riled up and I did not want to argue with her as she would simply start a whole discourse on Christianity. It doesn't mean that not being a Christian makes my dad any less good.
I think you shared a little on your ugly duckling past. You know, people who were ugly duckling in the past really grow up to be beautiful swans. And I believe that beauty shines through from within too. I really appreciate inner beauty and you're one of those with beauty in and out.
I absolutely detest bitchy women who don't support each other too and also stabbing one another in the back. I've once a friend who is no longer my friend coz she has been doing this to me w/o my knowledge till another friend told me about it. I'm just absolutely disappointed ans also by the way she handled everything after she was exposed. Totally turned the table around. I was so horrified that I was speechless for quite a while. I've never once experienced a friendship like that in my whole life as I generally treat my friends really well.
OMG! You got kissed by James Blunt. That's so cool! I love his song 1973. Never knew what it meant but I love the music and tune of it.
BTW, I love the photos you feature here! Very artistic. I think I've written an essay here. I remember you liked my shop page (fleurfaerie) before but I can't find your FB profile anymore. DO you mind if we add each other as FB friends?
