Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 31: Happy Halloween!

Hi everyone,

So today marks the last day of #Blogtober16. A big thank you to HexMum who kindly created it all. So I would really appreciate if you could check her lovely blog out.

So for those of you celebrating Halloween, Happy Halloween!

I am staying in as I am scared that there could be killer clowns out there and I do not fancy bumping into one of them! Being pregnant has it's advantages in these situations. So I am staying in for a night of blogging and films!

Hope you have enjoyed October 2016! See you in November!

QOTD: What are your plans for Halloween?

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 30: A letter to a younger me

Hi everyone,

So todays task is to write a letter to someone. Now I know this could be a popular decision between the #Blogtober16 bloggers but I've gone with it anyway. So my letter will be to a younger version of me.

Dear Childhood me,

There are so many things I would like to tell you and if this is my one chance to I'm going to grasp it, give it everything I have and make the most of it. I want to fuel this with tones of ammunition for you so that you can take life by the reigns and ride it to the best of your ability!

First things first. Do not worry about what others think of you in school because you know what? A lot of them won't be around when you get older. So do well and strive to the best you can be.

Secondly, life is full of trials. It's like a science experiment, you change one or two things to make it a fair test and to see what works and what doesn't. As you know when conducting this experiment you record more than one result until you come to your best one. Life works like this to! If your not happy with something in your life change it! You don't have to make drastic changes. Otherwise, how are you going to tell what makes you happy and what doesn't? So remember make it a fair test!

Relating to that, life chucks all sorts at you. No, you may not be ready for it but you are just going to have to make it what you can. You never know, make the best of the situation and it ay turn out to be the best thing life has chucked at you.

Finally, go and get your dreams and don't let anyone stop you.

With love

An older and if I knew all of this a very wise you

QOTD: What would you tell a younger you?

Itsatashathing: Autumn favourites so far (collab with The-Finer Things In Life)

Hi everyone,

So it's time for my monthly collaboration with the lovely Dion from The-Finer Things In Life! We have decided to do our Autumn favourites.

So, so far this Autumn my favourites have been:

M.A.C cosmetics Matchmaster SPF 15 foundation:


MAC, SPF 15, flowers
Matchmaster foundation

I know I have mentioned this as a holy grail makeup item in a previous blog post and it truly is. It's one of the only foundations I can get to match my skin tone (shade 1.0). Not only that, the coverage is amazing! It's buildable as well. It starts of as a medium coverage but it's super easy to build it up to a full coverage foundation. They are a little pricey at £29 a bottle but it's worth every penny.

Up next is the Bobbi Brown blush in Pale Pink:

pale pink, flowers
Bobbi Brown: Pale pink blush

I have recently rekindled my love for this little blush. It's in the shade Pale Pink and again flatters my skin tone well. It gives me a subtle wash of colour on my cheeks and looks so natural. It has a slight shimmer to it but is mostly matte. These are £19.50 and again is so worth it.

blush, blusher, Bobbi Brown, flowers
Pale Pink

My next favourite is M.A.C Cosmetics mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle:

MAC Cosmetics, flowers
Mineralize Skinfinish: Soft & Gentle
I know there are many reviews about these and I only recently purchased my first one. There are worth the hype and the £24. It is honestly the best highlighter I have used so far and I'm really sad that I have only just joined the hype. It's amazingly pretty and you can put as little or as much as you want on to create your desired look. It gives my skin the perfect glow to chase those cold days away.

My last beauty favourite is the Avon Solutions Truly Radiant daily moisturiser SPF 15:

SPF 15, Avon, flowers
Truly Radiant moisturiser
I couldn't find this moisturiser online sadly so it must be discontinued, however, they do have a Solutions Hydra beyond moisturiser at £3.75. It's a lovey moisturiser, very lightweight and I have really noticed a difference in how my skin looks. My skin seems to have a bit more of a glow to it. I absolutely love Avon products and they are amazing value for money.

I also have two non-beauty related favourites.

The first one is Galaxy smooth milk chocolate:


I have been loving this for a couple of weeks now. I have always liked Galaxy chocolate, in particular the cookie crumble bar. It's been a favourite of my boyfriends as well, so we've been buying the big bars to share.

My final favourite is a Netflix program. I am loving Reign! I won't say much about it other than I find it so gripping. I really recommend it, sadly there's only 3 series and I am on the last one.

What's your Autumn favourite at the moment?

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 29: Three confessions

Hi everyone,

October is drawing to a close and todays post is for me to make 3 confessions. I think over the pat month I have mentioned a couple of things but here are a few more.

  1. I have OCD. I may not be the tidiest person but I have set ways of doing things and I like to stick to my ways of doing them.
  2. My unborn daughter has a better wardrobe then me! I am obsessed with buying her clothes she has so many! She's probably not going to get chance to wear them all. Would you be interested in a haul post of her stuff? Let me know in the comments.
  3. I probably eat way to much chocolate. I always change my favourite but I always love magic stars.
QOTD: If you had to confess one thing what would it be?

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 27: Place I would most like to visit

Hi everyone,

So todays answer may be a given but the place I would most like to visit would be Disneyworld Florida!

I would literally do anything to go there. We were meant to go this year but my boyfriend had never flown before and I'm not the greatest of flyers. So when booking the holiday we changed our minds to go to Tenerife, which was lovely. Not only that I'm 20 and wouldn't be classed as an adult and my boyfriend would have had to be my 'adult' (he found this very amusing).

I would love to go, I see al of the pictures of people there and how magical it looks and I really want to experience that for myself.

I would love to do all of the theme parks and as you know I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I would love to go and experience Hogsmeade. I think I would actually cry.

There is so much to experience there so I would love to go for 2 weeks. I would also want to do as much shopping as possible.

I think now it's now a case of waiting until our little girl to be old enough so she can experience the magic as well. Not only that Disney with children could only make the magic 100x better!

QOTD: Where would you like to visit most?

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 25: What superpower would I have?

Hi everyone,

Now there are so many superpowers out there it is really hard to pick.

However, I think I would like to pick invisibility.

I would pick invisibility because I would love to act as a fly on the wall. Imagine all those conversations I've missed out on because I wasn't allowed to be in the room. How would they know if I was invisible?

Not only that I could go wherever I wanted or do whatever I wanted without being told no.

If I couldn't pick invisibility then I would have to go for mind reading.

I would love to be abe to read peoples thoughts and what they are truly thinking about a situation. I'd also like to know what they really think of me.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 24: Which Disney character am i most like?

Hi everyone,

So today has another difficult question I'm not to sure how to answer this.

I love so many Disney characters and I think I could relate to them all in so many different ways.

I'm going to say Cinderella. We both have fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.

Cinderella is kind to everyone and I hope that's what I am as well. She has a friendly nature which is what I believe I have.

Cinderella also believes in her dreams and finds a way to go after them. I am very much like that, I have dreams and I want to find ways to go after my dreams. So maybe someday the dreams I wish can come true.

I also wish I had a fairy godmother like Cinderella does. Imagine how amazing that would be?!

My mum also used to call me Cinderella or 'Cinderelly' when I was younger.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 23: Favourite time of the year

Hi everyone,

Almost at the end of October and where has the time gone? So what is my favourite time of the year?

I think I'm going to have to pick a season and that is winter.

Why winter?

Everything seems to happen in winter. Birthdays galore and not to mention Christmas!

So firstly on 3rd December our little girl is due! So that will be added excitement. I cannot wait for her to arrive!

Not only that but it will by my 21st on 19th January! I am excited as my boyfriend is planning something for my 21st.

You can't forget about Christmas! I absolutely love Christmas! This really is my favourite time of the year. Family, exchanging presents, fun games and it will be little ones first Christmas. I can't wait for Christmas this year.

Winter is a time as well when you can cosy down with a blanket and hot chocolate and watch a film or read a book. I feel I get more done in the winter as well as I really don't like being too hot and all I want to do is just lay there and chill. In the winter it's different as I can snuggle with my laptop or work and get it done.

Winter also means pretty lights and going around to look at them. I remember as a child we used to go on a trip around and look at all the house with lights up. Some used to do it for charity so we would always put a donation in their boxes.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 22: Biggest accomplishment

Hi everyone,

So This is a really hard question for me to answer as I am honestly not to sure what it could be.

To be honest I think I am creating mine right now and that's the little girl that is going to start mine and my boyfriends family.

I honestly cannot wait to meet her, I'm nervous but excited all at the same time. I think the thing I am most nervous about is giving birth as no one can share their experience and it varies from person to person. You don't know what will happen in labour everything could run completely smoothly or there may be some complications. However, one thing a can be assured of is a beautiful baby girl at the end of it.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 21: What I'm afraid of

Hi everyone,

So I like to make out that I'm not afraid of much. However, there are 3 things I am afraid of:

  1. Lifts or elevators. I watched the episode of Only Fools and Horses as a child where Delboy and Rodney get stuck in the lift (even though Delboy done it deliberately, I didn't know this) and I've been scared of them getting stuck ever since.
  2. Kind of links in with lifts and getting stuck but I don't like small spaces. I am terribly claustrophobic and any small space that I get stuck in I start to panic.
  3. Finally, clowns. I really do not like clowns and all of this talk about killer clowns has made me cry on more than one occasion.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 20: 5 cool things about the place I live

Hi everyone,

October is flying by! Todays post is on 5 cool things about the place I live. I have only lived here a year so I am still discovering new bits myself.

  1. Any bus ride for £1.50! I believe there is a new thing in that if you get on a bus again within an hour it deducts nothing from your oyster card. I couldn't believe that a bus ride was £1.50 when I first moved here. I remember the first time I got on a bus and I asked my boyfriend how much it would be to get to where we were going. He looked at me a bit curiously and told me. Bus rides where I come from are so expensive! Also there are night buses!
  2. Pie and mash! Why we don't have this where I come from is beyond me! I'd never tried it before moving here and pie, mash and liquor is now one of my favourite meals.
  3. The fact my local boots stocks NYX. (I only found this out Monday, oops.)
  4. Everything is on my doorstep,
  5. Shopping centres. The local shopping centres are amazing!

QOTD: What do you like about where you live?

Itsatashathiing: #Blogtober16 Day 19: 10 favourite foods

Hi everyone,

So usually I'd answer this question with ease. However, being pregnant does have it's downsides which means going off foods I loved before,


So my top 10 favourite foods at the moment are:
  1. 'Lunchtime special' from our local Chinese. It's about £3.30 for a tub of rice, chips, chicken balls and we get curry sauce in ours
  2. Magic stars! My Mum is sending me up 4 packets if these star shaped delights.
  3. Cheese and onion walkers baked crisps. Funny story to this, I didn't really like these before I became pregnant and over the last week or so I need them!
  4. Strawberries! My all time favourite fruit.
  5. Broccoli, my favourite vegetable.
  6. Cake, say no more.
  7. KFC Chips and gravy
  8. Chicken Tikka
  9. Pie, mash and liquor
  10. Roast potatoes
Bonus: Nutella!

Some of them I cheated and had to pick meals as it's something that comes together as one.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 17: My favourite concert

Hi everyone,

What is the best concert I have been to? This is a tricky question to answer as I've been to a few different concerts and each have been good for different reasons.

In order:
  1. Busted
  2. Sugababes (went backstage)
  3. P!nk- I'm not dead tour
  4. P!nk- Funhouse tour
  5. JLS
  6. One Direction (went twice, second time we were in the 4th row)
  7. Westlife farewell tour
I think the best one would have to be P!nks funhouse tour. Not only is she an amazing singer but an amazing performer as well. I would love to see her live again.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 16: Piercings and Tattoos

Hi everyone,

Where is October going? It's Day 16 already!

Today it's about piercings and tattoos.

I only have one piercing and that's my ears. I moaned to my parents when I was younger that I wanted my ears pierced. Eventually, for my 8th birthday they gave in. My Dad took me to the local beauticians where my Grandma was having her haircut in the next room and she was waiting to hear me scream. I walked out with a smile on my face to my Grandmas surprise. However, after my begging by the age of around 11/12 I was bored of them and haven't really worn them since.

I really want to get my belly button pierced but I'm not sure how I'd feel getting it done. I also want to get a tattoo done when our baby girl arrives of her name but I'm unsure where to have it. I don't want it anywhere to visible, any suggestions?

10:25: I wave to him from the door as he walks off for work.

10:40: I start cleaning our bedroom and throwing out things we don't need, some may say I'm nesting.

12:15pm: I stop cleaning up and I sit down to watch a bit of TV. I watch police interceptions (love to watch things like this).

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 14: Meaning behing my blog name

Hi everyone,

Day 14 and it's on the meaning of my blog name.

So I am afraid its is a really simple explination but I was stuck for a blog name and I had tried playing with loads of different things. However, nothing stuck or sounded right.

I then thought about using my name in the title. That's when I came up with 'It's a Tasha Thing' pretty much straight away.

It's basically meaning that it's written by me, Tasha and it's about the things I like and love.

Hi everyone,

So day 13 becomes a little hard for me as I don't have my own fridge it's a shared fridge. Therefore I am not going to take photos of the fridge. However I will write a list of what is in our section of the fridge at the moment.

  • Ham
  • Coke (normal)
  • Smarties yoghurts
  • Morrison's fruit yoghurts
  • Bananas
  • Carrots
  • Milk
  • Strawberry flavoured water
  • Frubes (yoghurt)
So that's everything in the fridge at the moment until we go shopping.

Itsatashathing: #blogtober16 Day 12: What's in my handbag?

Hi everyone,

I have been wanting to do this for a while now so thankfully day 12 is: What's in my handbag!

So my handbag came from a little shop in Tenerife, so I am afraid to say isn't real. However, it's amazing quality.

My bag


So first thing in the main section of my bag is the matching purse, again sadly not real. Along with the strap to put over my bag if I need it.

Purse and bag strap


Next is this knitted beanie hat from Matalan at a great price of £4. It's starting t o get colder now so I like to be prepared.

I picked up this academic planner from Poundland a few months back to keep me on track of appointments and birthdays, this comes in handy especially with the baby brain. It's light and compact and just what I needed to slip in my handbag.

pink, butterflies, poundland
My diary


I also have this pink zip pencil case that I picked up from WHSmith. This one isn't pink but it is £1.49 like mine. In here I keep money off vouchers, gift vouchers and any important bits I need to bring with me.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 11: My favourite animal

Hi everyone,

Wow! It's day 11! where is October going, It'll be Christmas before we know it (and blogmas may I add). Todays post is about my favourite animal.

My favourite animal has to be a dog. I think this is because they are loyal animals and are very loving. They seem to know if there is something up and will give you the love that you need. I've always been around dogs growing up and feel they make the best companions.

I also love horses and as a hobby as a child went horse riding. I loved it, again they are lovely animals and I think when I ride a horse I feel completely different and I feel good.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 10 one thing I can't live without

Hi everyone,

It's day 10 of #blogtober16 and it's on something I cannot live without.

So this is a hard one for me as I'm looking around my room and I can't seem to pick just one thing. So I am going to have to go with the very cheesy answer of, my boyfriend.

Honestly, he is more than my boyfriend but my best friend as well. He's always there for me and he never complains when I ask him to do stuff for me, you could say he is my rock. I know he is going to make the best Daddy and I couldn't ask for more than that. Over the past week or so I haven't been feeling my best and he's always been there and made sure I'm okay and if there is anything I need.

Thank you for always being there for me, I couldn't wish for someone better than you. You are perfect.

Itsatashathing: #Blogtober16 Day 9: Films I don't get tired of watching

Hi everyone,

We're onto day 9 and it's about my favourite films, the ones I could watch again and again and not get tired of.

I don't have many but here are a few that I could watch over and over:

  1. Harry Potter (Any of them. I currently have the Philosophers (sorcerers) Stone out.)
  2. Confessions of a shopaholic
  3. The proposal
  4. Cinderella (original)
  5. The Holiday

I honestly can't think of any more films that I could watch again and again without getting bored of. There probably are more but none that I can think of until I watch it.

Also a big happy birthday to my wonderful boyfriend Aron, thank you for being the most wonderful boyfriend and you are going to make the best Daddy.

QOTD: what ae your favourite films?
