Hi everyone,
We reckon the world needs some light hearted entertainment this week so we thought we’d have a little fun with some “Get to Know Us” posts.
As you may know from our social media last week, the lovely Hannah has come aboard the Organised Chaos train and has been looking after the various social media accounts for Organised Chaos for the last few months.
As I’ve been getting to know Hannah over the last while, I thought a formal introduction would be great…and while we’re at it, I’ve never really given a bit of background info on myself either. So here’s 15 questions to get to know us better!
Here we go…
Hannah Hillyer. . . Social Media Assistant for Organised Chaos
1. What is your middle name?
Louise.
2. What is your favourite colour?
Black! Cheating here though cause it’s not really a colour!
3. Cats or Dogs?
Dogs.
4. How many countries have you visited?
Eight; England, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Denmark and Italy.
5. What was your favourite/worst subject in school?
Favourite subject was always English! And I hated Maths with a passion.
6. What was your first job?
I had my first job for six years! I worked in my local Super Valu all the way through school and college.
7. What’s your favourite holiday? Season?
Winter/Christmas. My whole family are Christmas obsessed so it’s always been my favourite time of year.
8. What scares you the most?
Deep water- I can’t swim so being around deep water freaks me out.
9. How many shoes do you own?
16! And I’m supposed to be good at decluttering!!
10. Must have beauty product?
Concealer- always!
11. What’s your favourite hobby?
Reading, I’ve always had my head stuck in a book ever since I got the first Harry Potter book aged seven!
12. Who would make you star struck?
Following on from my previous answer- J.K.Rowling is probably one of the few people I’d be starstruck to meet! I’ve always admired her determination and how kind she is.
13. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever got?
My Mum’s always said ‘If you don’t ask you don’t get’ and I think it’s great advice! We all are so afraid of people saying no that sometimes we forget to ask for things. It’s good to be cheeky sometimes 🙂
14. What are you doing as soon as you’ve finished these questions?
I’m going to eat a tub of Ben & Jerry’s and watch Leonardo Di Caprio’s new documentary on global warming.
15. What do you hope for by the time you’re 40?
I’d love to run my own business, have had a couple of kids and to have travelled a lot more than I have!
Sarah Reynolds. . . Owner of Organised Chaos
1. What is your middle name?
Frances
2. What is your favourite colour?
Yellow!
3. Cats or Dogs?
Cats…I worship them!
4. How many countries have you visited?
About 9/ 10
5. What was your favourite/worst subject in school?
My favourite was Geography, my worst was English and Maths – ironically the two subjects I use daily to build the business and blog!
6. What was your first job?
I worked as Sales Assistant for Brown Thomas at 18…well it was ‘Next’ first but only for a day for their Winter sale, then onto BTs.
7. What’s your favourite holiday? Season?
My favourite holiday is a skiing holiday and my favourite season is Spring!
8. What scares you the most?
Being sick. I cope when I am sick, but the thoughts of it has terrified me since I was young.
9. How many shoes do you own?
Mmmm…34…and you thought you were bad Hannah! 😉
10. Must have beauty product?
Does water count? If not, a good night cream…!
11. What’s your favourite hobby?
I love singing and musical theatre
12. Who would make you star struck?
George Clooney…I met him once and all my photos are blurry as my hand was shaking so much! Totally gorgeous & as friendly as you can be during a 10 second meeting!
13. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever got?
I love Hannah’s Mam’s advice above & totally agree…the worst someone can say is No.
I’ve heard so many good pieces of advice over the years, and as the owner of a small business I grab onto nuggets for dear life.
But the most reassuring one and the one I have to remind myself of constantly is that the only thing that’s constant in life is change. Resisting it won’t make a difficult change any easier….lean into the discomfort.
14. What are you doing as soon as you’ve finished these questions?
I’m off to bed!
15. What do you hope for by the time you’re 40?
I hope with every fibre of my being that I own my own home…and a cat!
Hope you enjoyed that!
Happy Organising!
