Over the past few weeks, you’ve read about some of the wonderful bloggers I know, and now I thought that it might be time for me to learn a little about you!
Hi, I’m Meagan! Nice to meet you.
If you would like to play along just copy and paste the questions into the comments section and replace my answers with yours. I can’t wait to meet you!
1. How old are you?
28.
2. Where are you from?
Auckland, New Zealand.
3. What do you do for a living?
I’m a full-time Design and Visual Arts student. I’m also a blogger, a photographer, a teaching assistant, and a library assistant – a bit of a Girl Friday!
4. If you could have any super power, what would it be?
Telekinesis, so I could visit my friends and family all over the world.
5. What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?
I own one pair of trousers from TS 14+ that are an amazing stretch knit fabric and are so comfortable! Their only downside is that they’re handwash only – I don’t have the attention span for that, so I don’t get to wear them as often as I’d like.
6. Where do you want to travel to?
Everywhere! I want to experience France, Scotland, Italy, Japan, Czech Republic, Antarctica and more, as well as revisiting places like Indonesia and New Caledonia.
Everyone who answers my questions will go in the draw to win a gift pack of random beauty treats, because it’s United Nations International Day of Happiness, and giving you treats makes me happy!

1. How old are you?
22. But some days it feels like only yesterday that I was a tween or a wee kidlet.
2. Where are you from?
Tauranga, New Zealand.
3. What do you do for a living?
A student by day, and a guest writer by night!
4. If you could have any super power, what would it be?
To fly? Or maybe ‘lightning flash’ running skills.
5. What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?
Currently my little lace skirt that goes with everything. A great op-shop find!
6. Where do you want to travel to?
I think my life would be made if I were to be paid to write while travelling the world (AND eat vegetarian goodies at the same time). After a return visit to Aussie, my dream place to visit next is Italy without a doubt. Following that I’d love to visit all the Med countries (and live there), and Japan. I am obsessed with culture and travel, it’s just about having a full piggybank and the right time in my life to do it all. 🙂
Travelling AND eating vegetarian goodies? Sounds perfect! I’d love to travel the world; visit different cultures and spend time with them learning to cook their meals – it would be so amazing!!!

Oooh, good question! Ah, probably the ability to read minds – but selectively, I wouldn’t wanna play that game all the time!

My wedding dress, unfortunately I most likely will never get to wear that again (roll on a dress-up party!!), but it holds the best memories for me <3
6. Where do you want to travel to?
Ooh! Lots of places! I'd love to revisit Africa, and take Hubby this time – but Paris, Egypt, South America all have an obvious appeal! And any place that has a Disneyland!

Also, we’ll have to think up an amazing event for you to wear your wedding dress to!

21
2. Where are you from?
Wellington, NZ
3. What do you do for a living?
Retail
4. If you could have any super power, what would it be?
I would have to say Mind control. Would be pretty cool to be able to manipulate people and get them to do stuff (as long as you don’t abuse it)
5. What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?
This is kinda boring, but it has to be my jeans. I’m kind of a cheapskate with clothes and I’d rather spend my money on a few different things rather than one expensive thing, so most of my clothes cost less than $50, but I got these jeans for $250 and they fit perfectly. I’ve had them 3 years and they’ve been on so many adventures with me.
6. Where do you want to travel to?
Pretty much everywhere. I’ve only been to Australia and the Pacific islands, so I’m really keen to do more exploring. I learnt French all through High School and I can speak it ok, so I would love to live there someday and get to travel around Europe.
I love your blog by the way : )
Thanks Natalie!
Your jeans sound perfect – I think that it’s so worth investing a little bit more in to something you’re going to wear often. I wore my only pair of jeans to death last winter, so I’m going to have to invest in a new pair over the next few months!
