Aloha Sprinklerinos,
After being inspired by A Rosie Outlook (who I'm so pleased I found through Sofia's Journal, it's amazing who you can find through those amazing advertisers!), I have decided to do my own '25 Things About Me'. The last time I did something like this was about 2 years ago so we're about due a catch up I think.
The idea seems pretty simple, share 25 things about your good self.
Let's go!
1. My favourite thing about Mindy is her snout. Mostly because the word 'snout' is so very satisfying to say.
2. If I could decorate my entire house in mints and pinks, I would.
3. I have a little scar on my right knee where I fell over in the school playground and got glass embedded into it. What a safe play environment.
4. The sound of typing is one of my favourite things to listen to.
5. I always, always, always have white bedding in my bedroom. I feel uncomfortable if Matt puts our beige set on (although grateful that he did it!).
6. I got engaged on December 1st 2006.
7. I hate eating outside.
8. I absolutely love the royal family and collect books, tins and china with them on.
9. I still suck my thumb. Don't judge me.
10. If I could go back in time and change one thing in my life it would be to have said goodbye to my mother before she died.
11. If ever I read a sad/bad news story, I go on pinterest straight away. It's my happy place.
12. I have the organisational skills of a flea.
13. The only sport I excel at is frisbee. Which let's face it, isn't much of a sport.
14. My Dad chose my name.
15. I once was a member of a gym (!) where in my head I renamed all the equipment so it was more friendly. So, rather than 'Treadmill', 'Wizadora' etc.
16. Much to Matt's annoyance, I constantly pinch his socks.
17. I think loneliness is the most painful thing.
18. I go to church on a weekly basis and really enjoy it.
19. 19 was the age I finally felt free.
20. I take a LOT of photographs.
21. I only just worked out that I could put the music from my laptop onto my phone. Durr.
22. I am addicted to list making.
23. The smell of mince cooking makes me want to be a little bit sick.
24. Blogging make me do internal happy dances.
25. Sunday night TV is my bliss.
That felt so good! If you have a place to share, feel free to write your lists too.
Were any of those new to you?
Toodlepip!

Louise, this post made me smile so much-especially your re-naming of gym equipment haha! I also only feel comfortable in bed if the bedding is white and love the royal family, I'm far too excited for the birth of the Royal Baby!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and have done for years :)
PS thanks for introducing me to the Soft and Gentle MSF, it's become my ultimate favourite make up product-and that's saying something haha!
So many bloggers are doing this post at the moment, it's so nice to see them at such a personal level :) Lovely post Louise, very nice to read! xx

Owch that was a dangerous school! x
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with the sound of typing! I thought I was weird for liking that x
ReplyDeletemakeupmusicfashion.blogspot.co.uk
Great list Louise! I can't imagine you being disorganised or bad at organising though, especially as you say you are, like me, a maker of many lists! :) What's not to love about eating outside? Everyone loves a good picnic :)

ReplyDeleteThe Introverted Brunette
I loved this post so much Louise! It's so interesting to see little facts about people :) I might do a post on it soon myself! xxx
ReplyDeleteseeking--serendipity.blogspot.com
What a gorgeous photo, your eyes are such a beautiful colour. I love the sound of people spreading butter on toast. It's an odd one to enjoy! Also such an ingenious idea to make the gym more fun, I'd end up talking to the equipment in my head and it would turn into an odd pixar/disney film xo
ReplyDeleteReally enjoy these blog posts every so often, just something a little different to the usual review etc.
ReplyDeleteI may have to start putting together my own "25 things about me" post.
Also, list making is what I do so I don't forget any of the random thoughts throughout the day! :)

I love the sound of typing too. It sounds so productive and is generally really satisfying - I thought it was only me!
ReplyDeletehttp://thelittlekoala.blogspot.co.uk
A lot of those were new to me! I totally agree with you about the mint thing, my bedroom is painted mint and it's so serene, I absolutely love waking up in it :) By the way I really like your more personal ones like this one, they just make a nice change from reviews :)
ReplyDeleteLouisa's Notebook
I wanna do one of these now :)
ReplyDeletegeekypinkness.blogspot.ca
Yes a lot of those were new and i feel like i know you even better now as omg the smell of mince cooking makes me wanna barf too even though i like the taste the smell smells like soil or something strange?ahh now i know why i think ur ace as u only just learnt that u can put music from your laptop to phone ur so cute,i think loneliness is the most painful thing too and no 15 just makes me giggle and think this is Louise all over ha ha,love number 10 i can whole heartedly sympathise with you,i love the sound of myself typing but not other really which is mad lol,great great blog loved it so much xx♥xx
ReplyDeleteI love list making too! Being at uni, and getting to know the housemates I'm living with next year, it's been great to find out today that they also love writing lists! Our house will be covered in them I hope.
ReplyDeletenotqueenvictoria.blogspot.co.uk x
There were quite a few things on that list that I never would have guessed about you, Lou! And I could be your organizing like a flea buddy...I really want to organize my whole space so that everything has it's place and nothing is on the floor. This will probably never happen.... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI did something just like this post a couple weeks ago as an introductory post on my blog, but I did it along with photos :)

My dad chose my name (Louise) too. My mum wanted to call me Paula. I'm glad they went with Louise though as I definitely don't look like a Paula!x

ReplyDeleteI love learning more about you, Louise! I can't believe you hate eating outside! What did it ever do to you? ;)
ReplyDeletebeautyful and honest post. I really love this kind of posts <3 pinterest is also my really happy world <33 and of course snout is a greeeat word :D

Such a lovely post. I loved it!! xx
ReplyDeletehttp://afinefashionfrenzyblog.blogspot.com.au/
So cute! Love reading your posts, every time I come to your blog to check if you've posted and see a new post, I try to read it as slow as possible and relish every moment, hehe. My husband was laughing the other day, when we were watching a movie I wasn't particularly keen on and he caught me reading your blog on my mobile under the blanket. :D Yup! Sprinkleofglitter vs movie: 1-0. :D
ReplyDeleteI also love the sound of typing, great tag and answers!:)
ReplyDeletehttp://laurenlovesmakeupxoxo.blogspot.co.uk/
the sound of typing is ace! it pisses all my friends and family off though haha. Love this post, I may do something similar too if you don't mind.
ReplyDeletehttp://beautybook13.blogspot.co.uk
Haha I am guilty of pinching socks from my boyfriend (also named Matt!) too, boy socks are just so much more comfy. I think it must be down to having big feet ha! Lovely post, I did one of these myself yesterday, they're so nice to read and find out more about other people :) xx
ReplyDeleteI think I should rename gym equipment too!!! ;) I did one of these the other day. xx
ReplyDeleteMy dad chose to call me Louise, too. And I agree with the lonely thing. I hope I'm not lonely for much longer! I also loveee writing lists, but couldn't have white bedding. I love my colourful bedding too much, and I can have up to 5 cats and 2 dogs on my bed, so white bedding would be a disaster!
ReplyDeleteLOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU,LOUISE!
ReplyDeleteLouise! You still suck your thumb? Haha! The gym equipment re-naming is the best idea ever. I'm absolutley going to do that! xx
ReplyDeletemintcandylilies.blogspot.co.uk
I deff need to do this! You inspire me!
ReplyDeleteLove always,
Louise XoXo.
oh louise. such lovely facts and as always really fun to read. your a huuuge inspiration on me. love you.

I like these kinds of posts, it's such a nice, quick way to get to know someone and I bet it's satisfying writing them out. I'm with you on the lists and Pinterest front, my mind turns to mush without these!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rafflesbizarre.blogspot.com
Aw great post Louise! I also felt my best at 19 - I'm not sure what it is about that age but I just loved it :) I just did one of these posts too, they're really fun :) xx
ReplyDeleteAbby | Beauty and a Blogger
Glad to see someone shares my love of a clicky keyboard. There really is nothing more satisfying. Thanks for sharing.

This was a fun read. I am loving the idea to name my treadmill and may have to find a name for her...him? I also love the sound of typing and the clinking of makeup brushes. I thought it was weird. What's embarrassing is that sometimes I'll pretend type just to hear the keys. LOL. Blogging also makes me do internal happy dances. :)
ReplyDeleteFrom reading some of the comments I assume pinching means stealing??
I think I might tag along and do this tag. Seems fun. :)
I
Hey Louise! I like to go to church now again too, and aways feel at peace afterwards :) and I'm terrible for stealing my boyfriends sock too! my washing machine seems to just eat mine, I never know where they go! I've been watching your Youtube channel for awhile, and you're so funny and lovely :) baby glitter is just the double of you, she's the cutest little lady! and since I just started my own little blog I came to look for yours and your posts are so interesting to read I really enjoy them.

I've wanted to do the tag for ages but couldn't think of 50 things so write about myself. Then when I saw you'd done 25 things I was like duh! Not sure why I couldn't think of that lol.
ReplyDeleteI must say though, I love eating outside! I'd eat every meal outside if I could.. I'm with you on the smell of mince cooking though *bleurgh*

I feel uncomfortable if my bedding is white. I've got white and red plaid for both sheets right now and my pillow is brown with orange, red, and green leaves on it. I also have a dark green set with snowflakes, pine trees, and moose.
ReplyDeleteI suck my thumb too! :)

ReplyDeleteFrisbee is definitely a sport. Except it's called ultimate. It's a rather athletic one at higher levels too. Lots of fun to play. Love your posts!
ReplyDeleteAwh, this is lovely! And that's a beautiful picture of you :) I steal my husband's socks all the time too, and he gets pretty infuriated because I end up making them all odd so he doesn't have any pairs left. He's a little bit OCD about wearing properly paired socks. We go to church and love it too :) Andrew (husband) is hoping to train in the CoE and become a vicar. Thanks for this post, it was a happy read :)

Hi, Louise! I have recently discovered your blog and YouTube channel, and I am loving them! Thanks for letting me into your world through your writing, pictures, and, best of all, beauty reviews.
