Day 7 Ten facts about me - 30 day about me.

Today's post (well yesterdays, I had hydrotherapy and was too tired to write) is about ten facts you might want to know about me.


1) I am Lactose intolerant which means I have to avoid food that have lactose and milk in but I'm okay eating milk protein.

2)I love animals, my family own over 50. My puppy is called Tinkerbell and you can find out all about her in one of my previous posts.

3)My favourite band is The 1975. I am defiantly a massive fan! I even have their logo tattooed on my wrist.

Day 6 What's in my bag? - 30 day blog challenge.

Day 6 is all about what is in my handbag. I don't usually carry a handbag as I only have to use of one arm and don't want to end up with no free hands if I have to carry a bag but if I do use one, this is what I take with me....

Day 5 Favorite YouTube channels - 30 day blog challenge.

Day 5 is all about my favorite YouTube channels, and there are a lot of them!
I will list a few with a brief paragraph about what the channels are about and give you the link to one of my favorite most recent videos. 
Here we go!

The Frugal Crafter - I mentioned Lindsay's YouTube channel in my previous post about my favorite blogs. Her channel includes how to videos and lessons on how to paint with certain materials. She has plenty of craft video that you can follow too! The video I watched of hers recently is called Stamp show Haul 2016! and is shows all the cool things she picked up while at the stamp show in the US. 

 
  

Day 4 – Favorite five blogs at the moment - 30 day blog challenge.



Firstly, I forgot to post this yesterday and I actually have no idea how! I blame my sister (like Hannah’s blog here) she usually Facetime’s me every night to ask if I have done it and she did not last night!

So Day 4 is all about my favorite blogs right now, and I actually only have four. I prefer to actually watch YouTube videos as my dyslexia makes it hard to read some blogs (all my posts are checked by my sister to make sure you would be able to read them!).

The Frugal Crafter

My first favorite blog is Lindsay Weirich’s The Frugal Crafter’s blog.

I actually found Lindsay’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/thefrugalcrafter) first and haven’t started reading her blog until recently. The two do go hand in hand. If you see a video on her channel there is sure to be a follow up on her blog. She focuses on art and crafty things. She does a lot of making and painting. Her blog post usually does follow up from videos she has posted on YouTube so I would suggest for you to check out her YouTube channel first and then hop on over to her blog. If you are in America (unfortunately I’m not) She has a bucket load of coupons on her blog for the items you see advertised, and she does a lot of collaborations with Paper Mart so you can find plenty of deals over there!

I love her posts because they are really relaxed and friendly and are easy reads, especially if you love being crafty!

Day 3 What pets do you own - 30 day blog challenge.

Day 3 - What pets do you own and why?

Today's theme is all about what pets I own. As you will know if you have read the all about me post that I have a lot of pets and you saw two of them in the picture that was included in my day 1 post. Personally I have 5 pets that are mine but as a family we own over 50.

Tinkerbell:

Tinkerbell is my Pomeranian X Jack Russell puppy who is 9 months old. She is the first dog I have owned that is all my responsibility. I got her at the end of November 2015. When I first got her she was the smallest ball of fluff I had ever seen. I have wanted a puppy for ages but have never had the money to be able to afford to pay for the things it would have needed so I had to wait until I was older. I got Tinkerbell to help me with my depression, and she definitely did. I'm not saying if you're depressed to go out and buy all the fluffy puppies you can find but having something I was responsible for gave me a purpose to try and beat the depression.

Day 2 The reason behind my blog name - 30 day blog challenge.

I actually spent ages thinking of a name for my blog. It was hard as I was not sure what I really wanted to blog about and I knew it would be a mixture of things so I could not just name it after one topic. I have had a blog before called charlie chats, it was just a general blog about random things I though people might be interested in. This was a while ago, I was maybe 15 and the name was a little childish. I knew I wanted the name to include my name, and I wanted to give advice; be it about my disabilities, my pets, art or anything else I find interesting. So that is basically what I called it, Advice by Charlie. This is my blog logo.

Day 1 Introduction - 30 day blog challenge.

Today is the first day of my 30 day blog challenge which I am partaking in at the same time as my sister is on her blog My Fibro a New Begining. Today's blog post is an introduction into why I want to complete the blog challenge and also to include a recent photo of me. This is going to be a short post because the reason I am doing the 30 day blog challenge is because I am really bad at thinking of things to write about so I feel this will give me some motivation to write as the topic has already been chosen for me. I also hope it will help me to write more often once the blog challenge has finished. 
Here is a recent photo of me as I promised. 
Family photo! Me, Mango the Guinea Pig and Tinkerbell the puppy <3

Thanks for reading,
