  10. I love soul music, especially Motown and neo-soul. My favourite singers are Joss stone, india arie and stevie wonder. 
  11. I love animals and really want a dog when I have my own home.


My 11 Questions from Lisa:



1. If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

If I was an animal I would be a fluffy little duck/ baby chick, because they are small and cute! 


2. What is your favourite breakfast food?

I love to eat chocolate cereals, although recently I have found porridge with sugar to be yummy.

3. Where did you go on your last vacation/ trip?

Believe it or not I havnt been away since 2010 when I went to Ghana, West Africa for 7 weeks. It was a life changing experience and I had such an amazing time.



4. What is your favourite movie?

I think my favourite movie ever would have to be the Notebook. It is such a beautiful and romantic film and I cry whenever I watch it.


5. Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?
I would want Rachel McAdams or Natalie Portman to play me in a movie about my life because they are both amazing actresses with a lot of range!

6. If there was a zombie apocalypse and you had to choose between staying in your home with ample food, but little protection (meaning you don't have the supplies to board yourself in completely) or hitting the road with a full tank of gas, but very limited supplies, what would your coarse of action be? 

I think I would stay in my house as everyone needs food to survive. A hard question Lisa!

7.  Are you a cat or a dog person? Why?

I am a dog person although believe it or not as a child I was scared of them. I used to be a cat person when I was younger but not I find dogs to be friendlier and cuter. I would like a dog at some point.

8.   What is the worst book you have ever read?

Gosh, I have read a lot of books but I think perhaps Frankenstein  by Mary Shelley. I didnt enjoy it. 

9. If you could go back in time, what year would you go to and why?

I would like to go back to the 1920s in America and go to illegal jazz parties as a flapper just because I think that would be so much fun! 

10. Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

I hope that I am in a career I love or am with somebody I love, hoping I will settle down and start a family, but who knows what God has in store!

11. Do you drink coffee or tea? (I'm team tea)

Right with you Lisa, I'm team tea too!! Its wonderful to wake up in the morning with a cup of tea.
