’73 Questions’ is a feature in Vogue magazine, where they ask the biggest celebrities 73 quick-fire questions, however it has recently been doing the rounds within the blogging community and is a great way to learn the little things about the people behind the blog. I was nominated by the lovely Sassy Cat Lady, Amy – check out her blog here and the amazing Tinka over at Tinkablee.com.
So without further ado, here are my answers to the 73 questions….
