I noticed a few bloggers were doing this ‘tag’ at the beginning of last year, so I started writing up my own, and then totally forgot about it… until now!

Better late then never I say!

I thought it was about high time we got to know each other a little better anyway, don’t you?

I had fun writing these and hope you enjoy reading :)

1. I’m turning 25 26 this year, and it’s the first birthday I’m not looking forward to. I feel like I should have all my shit together by now, but I totally don’t. My life is still such a mess!

2. If I could be watching any TV show right now, it would be SpongeBob SquarePants.

3. I get most my compliments on the length of my eyelashes – I’m telling you, it’s all about RevitaLash people!!! P.s you can see my full comparison review of fLash and RevitaLash HERE if you’re interested.

4. My celebrity crush is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Have you seen 500 Days of Summer? Enough said.

5. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a real ‘girly girl’ and I love all things pink and sparkly.

6. I called my cat Penguin because she’s black and white. I know, so original.

7. I lost half of one of my front teeth during a game of Laser Force on my 15th birthday when one of my friends accidentally whacked me in the mouth with her gun. I cried the whole night because I looked like a hillbilly.

8. I’m completely and utterly obsessed with Taylor Swift. I have posters and quotes all through my room and on my desk at work, I listen to her music every single day without fail, and I legit think she the best person that ever lived. Ever.

9. My all time favourite movie is How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. Not only is Kate Hudson  drop dead gorgeous, but she’s bloody hilarious too!

10. I prefer to drink Chardonnay over Sauvignon any day.

11. I hate awkwardness and confrontation. I never want to have anyone on my bad side, and will avoid rubbing someone up the wrong way like the plague!

12. I know it’s corny, but my favourite inspirational quote is, “shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars” by Les Brown.

13. My star sign is cancer, and I totally live up to the expectation. I’m overly sensitive, an absolute homebody and a hopeless romantic!

14. I’ve never really been into designer or high end fashion and will never be able to justify spending a ridiculous amount of money on a plain white t-shit, just because the label attached to it is a ‘designer’ one.

15. When I broke up with my previous boyfriend, I decided to go out and buy a rabbit so I would have something to care for (mum wouldn’t let me get a pony or a cat, so I got a rabbit). I called him ‘Bunny’ (I know, great name), and I house trained him so he could live inside most of the time – he eventually thought he was a dog!

16. I’m completely transparent and cannot hide my feelings to save my life. I’ve been told by people that they can read me like a book! I’m still not sure if that’s a good or bad thing…

17. I am legit naming my first child Taylor, be it a boy or a girl.

18. I wear a SpongeBob SquarePants t-shirt to bed. I freaking LOVE him.

19. I have a younger sister called Georgia and I annoy her for fun. She’s a professional photographer (just like my Dad), and I’ve also got three amazing step sisters and two step brothers.

20. I can’t save money to save my life. My friend snapped my credit card in half about three years ago… but I just went to the bank and got a new one the next day.

21. My favourite time of the year is Christmas.

22. I’ve only ever been truly in love twice.

23. I have always had a massive fear of spiders and other large spider-like crawly insects. I will scream like a little girl if I see one.

24. I had braces for three years while I was at college, and in two of those three years I had both my school balls (hence all the closed mouth photos).

25. I’m obsessed with candles, and I light one every night before I go to bed. Let’s not even think about how much money I’ve burned away on Ecoya and Glasshouse… you can see some of my fave candles HERE.

26. I hate getting my hair cut.

27. My first job was working part time at Baker’s Delight, and I swear it was the best job I ever had. So much free food…

28. I truly believe that a being positive, optimistic and enthusiastic person makes you way more happy.

29. I hate asparagus and beetroot with a passion.

30. When I was just a baby, my aunty went to see a fortune teller that told her I was going to grow up to have a career in the NZ media industry. I now work full time in digital content management for More FM & The Breeze The Edge radio station, and part time as a blogger! Spooookkkyyyy…..

31. I love Disney movies, my favourites would have to be Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid.

32. I prefer gold over silver. So if you’re ever thinking about getting me a lil something (yea you are), make it gold!

33. I’ve had highlights in my hair on and off since I was about sixteen. However, I am proud to say that it’s been over a year with absolutely no hair dye and I’m still a natural blonde! Woohoo!

34. I hate change and I suffer from anxiety. I’ve always been a planner and have always liked having all my ducks in a row – uncertainty and me have never seen eye to eye! I often wish I was more cruisey and able to just ‘let things go’ like most other people. You can read about how I combat my anxiety HERE.

35. I have four best friends that mean the absolute world to me. I honestly don’t know where I would be today without them.

36. The colour of my nail polish will be pink about 99% of the time.

37. I have a gym membership but never actually go to the gym. I think the last time I went was in November… ooops.

38. No one close to me has ever died, and I’m terrified for the day it happens.

39. I have a one-year-old German Shepherd called Zac, and he is the absolute love of my life.

40. I have a really bad habit of twirling my hair. I do it aaaaaalllllllll the time, and the people that hang out with me on a regular basis have all noticed how often I do it.

41. If I’ve had a bad day, I sit outside at night and watch the stars to calm myself down. I get lost in my thoughts about life and will often spot a shooting star that I will then wish upon!

42. Everyone always spells my last name ‘Monroe’ (like Marilyn Monroe), but it’s actually spelled Munro.

43. I’m going to Europe for the first time in June this year and I am beyond excited! I will only be away for four weeks, but still!!! UPDATE: The trip was amaaaaazing, and I cannot wait to go back and explore more.

44. Both my parents run their own businesses, which is where I get most my drive and ambition from.

45. I have a Suzuki Swift called Taylor.

46. I was offered a University Scholarship for Food Technology that I turned down because I wanted to do something in media… also, I hate maths and statistics.

47. I love both old school and mainstream music. If you ever got a hold of my Spotify playlist you’d be super jel, I’m telling ya.

48. I don’t think I’ve worn half the clothes in my closest, but I just can’t get rid of them because they’re all so puurrtyyy.

49. I’ve only ever been to Australia and Bali Australia, Bali, London, Paris and Greece – Bali was freaking awesome. If you ever go, you need to visit Gili Island. It’s pure bliss!

50. I hate scary movies.

So those were my 50 random facts about me! I hope you found them… interesting! Leave a comment below if you have/are going to do this tag too, so I can read it x
