2013 in Questions | Holy Chic

Hey guys!

So today is the third instalment of review 2013 in a month! I am so excited to be reviewing the year for you in the form of questions. This is a mix up of what I found on line and some inserts of the New Year’s tag so this is really just a jumbled mess. But that aside, I hope you enjoy it J

3. What are you most happy about completing? GCSE’s. now that I have done them I realise how easy they are but its soo good to get them out of the way

4. What was the biggest risk you took? - I honestly don’t even know the answer to that. I’m not the most risqué person out there.

Knowing what you know now, if you could write a letter to yourself that would travel back in time so that you would receive it at the start of the year, what advice would you give your younger self? To just let go of the past and move on. Think positively and try my hardest because it will get me so much further in life
