My Very First Blog Post...

Hey there,

I’m so glad that you have stumbled upon my blog. As the title suggests, this is my first blog post on this platform and I just wanted to use this as an opportunity for my readers - if this post actually has readers - to get to know me a little bit. I just want to say that in no way shape or form am I a professional. So if I comment on something, I’m just saying my opinion on the topic.

So let’s start with my name huh? My name is Amaara Ladha and I am a 17 year old from London, England. I am currently studying A-Levels and I am in my final year. I am studying Biology, Chemistry and Psychology.

Now enough of the boring mundane facts. Let’s get into some more interesting aspects of what I’m all about.

I suppose the most important thing that readers would want to know is what my blog is all about. Well to answer this question all I’m going to say is that the hint is in the title. RANDOM RAMBLING. So yeah, my blog will have beauty posts, fashion posts, lifestyle posts, DIY’s, basically anything I feel like writing about.

My blog is aimed at British teenage girls so there will be posts which will focus on sixth form and specifically English posts. But there will also be general posts like tutorials, look books and reviews. So just because you're not from England or the UK, it doesn't mean that you can't read and engage with my blog. I will try to upload at least twice a month, and I will try to have one specifically British post and one which is a more general post which anyone can read no matter where they are from.

Now, some important things you should know about me. My favourite TV show at the minute is either The Vampire Diaries or Dirty John. I know that I’m starting The Vampire Diaries super late but yeah my friend finally convinced me to watch it. Another one of my all time favourite shows that I’ve watched since the very beginning is NCIS! I absolutely love it. My favourite food is anything Italian and my favourite dessert is Banoffee Pie.

My hobbies include; writing novels on Wattpad you can check out my novels here. Please have a read and leave a comment. I have different types of novels on there and the one which is most popular is my NCIS fanfiction Tiva and Jibbs Tales.

So when i googled what my first blog post should be about, every website says to write about yourself and so I am. However what they suggested I tell you is what you have read in the above paragraphs and if I was reading a blogger's first blog post and deciding whether or not to follow the blog, I would want some more information. So I will give you some more information, I will tell you a little bit more about my life. Here we go...

As I said before, I am a teenage girl from London. I go to sixth form and I am in Year 13. For those of you who are not familiar with what this means, it's basically the final year of high school before you go to university. Obviously, this means that at the moment I am under a considerable amount of stress, between university applications, interviews and revising for my exams. One thing that helps me to manage my stress, is to not only concentrate on the academics. Of course the academics are super important but if you want to succeed, it's vital that you do other things also.

Some of the things which I like to do are; volunteering, working a couple of days in each school holiday at a children's camp, I love writing novels/ in my diary/ blog posts, and just recently, I was in the school production. As you can tell, I do a lot of things other than just study and that is my coping mechanism for stress.

Now, I will tell you a little bit more about me as a person. I'm not what you would call a 'popular' girl but I am not a loner either. I have my small circle of very close friends whom I love so much. I have no idea what I would do without them. Also, I am a total extrovert. I am bubbly, loud and completely and utterly crazy (my friends who are reading this right now are probably nodding right now!) so yeah I am pretty outgoing. When I was younger, I was a lot more anxious but now after growing up a lot in the past few years I feel like a totally different version of myself. I feel like I am who I want to be and I couldn't be happier.

Although I am an extrovert, I do like having time to myself. I love to go for a walk/ run around my local area with my headphones on and just take half an hour or so to myself. My sense of style has also changed over the past few years. As a child, I never wore trousers. I was always in dresses or skirts. I was a total girly girl and I still am, I've just toned it down a little; the bright pink room has become pastel blue, and I now have 3 pairs of jeans and trousers that I wear on a regular basis.

Anyway, that's it from me for this entry, I hope you got to know me a little better and I hope that you follow this blog and read my future posts.
