VOGUE'S 73 QUESTIONS


H a p p y October Everyone! It's currently raining outside and it feels like an autumn night even though were a month into spring (the joys of living in Australia)! I finally have the chance to sit down and write up a blog post for this month. Looking at my past blog posts, I've realised that over the past 3 and a half years of having my own blog that I've never did a post "about me" such as '15 Facts About Me' or 'Get to Know Me Tag'. So I thought I would do a 'Vogue's 73 Question Tag' obvs inspired by Vogue's 73 Questions with... videos on YouTube. I'm also writing this post to look back on in a few years, or maybe I do one each year? Anyways here are 73 facts about me. 

1. What’s the best thing that has happened to you this month?

2. What’s the best thing that has happened to you this year?
Getting a job unexpectedly, it literally came out of no where (I wasn't even looking for one). I have to admit and say I love working at a pharmacy, I kinda wish I studied a Bachelor of Pharmacy at University now. It's never to late right?
