I'm looking forward to; Finishing school My next family gathering My next bath - with a lush bath bomb of course! decorating my room But most of all im looking forward to the things I can't plan...  Like finding a fox asleep in my garden.. Such a beautiful creature! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

I honestly think that nature is beauty. So to name all of my favourite plants would take a lifetime, so how about I name twelve?! Oak Tree Bluebells (hence the name XD) Daffodils Grass - Grass is always overlooked but think about how bland the earth would look if we didn't have grass... Silver Birch Roses Moss - because of its healing properties (not that its the only plant that has healing properties...) Daisy's Delphinium Forget - Me - Not's Buttercup Grape Vines I think Wild Flowers are absolutely beautiful, so here's a picture! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

I suppose you could say I'm a lil' bit of a fangirl *monkey covering it's eyes emoji* but only for a few special shows... Doctor Who The 100 Holby City Dance Moms Thirteen Raised by Wolves My Mad Fat Diary Jane the Virgin Harry Potter What are your Tv Obsessions? Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Navy Orange Purple They're just pretty, look up, they pretty, look ^ up there XD Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

I tend to plan all of my blog posts before I write them, and definitely did for this month's challenge, but why on earth I ever thought this was an appropriate topic for me to write about is beyond me... I think words/language are the greatest invention of the human race! So no, I don't hate any words. Nuff said. #shortblogpost Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I'm a fairly fussy eater - always have been. I've even been described as 'very english' when it comes to food, which I presume applies to the facts that I like plain food and am not a great fan of spice; I get plain-ish at Nando's...  but I'm getting better, I think!! XD Back to the list; Food I don't like; Tomatoes - although I love Ketchup so.... Prawns - eugh, I can just gag thinking about them not a great fan of Aubergine Pickles (extreme) Spice - In. Anything. There's my top 5! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

So, incase you didn't know, I'm quite a creative person and a while back I came across Zentangling!! This is a form of art that uses structured patterns to create miniature pieces of art, and of course I had to try it myself - it is definitely my favourite style of pattern. There is no comparison! Here are some of my Zentangles; ^ this one is my favourite!! *Heart eye emoji* I just realised the position of my hand doesn't change in any of the pictures, ahha!! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

I'm a little sceptical about this topic, mainly because what if I met them and they weren't as amazing as I thought they'd be? Kate Winslet Ghandi Buddha Erin Hanson (ThePoeticUnderground) Emma Watson Shakespeare Adele Plato Actually, on second thoughts I bet these lovely people are just as incredible as I imagine they are!! Who would you want to meet?  Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

It wouldn't have been very fair if I did my favourite girls names and not my favourite boys names.. 1. (again the classics are always a good choice) Jack, James, John, 2. I have to admit I am a fan of boys names that end in an 'er'; Hunter for example 3. And classic names that can be shortened; Edward - Ed, Eddy, Ted 4, Then there's the names that are completely unusual like 'Cosmo' Which I have to admit I don't think my Gran would approve of XD What are your favourite boys names? Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

So, I don't have any pleasures that I should be guilty for, nor should you - Who is to say that we should feel guilty for things we enjoy?? But for the sake of the list - I'll write things that I guess people could judge you for (although we should never judge ) and hence they would call them 'Guilty' pleasures.. Disney - In general, Disney isn't considered a Guilty pleasure but from the perspective that I'm 19 years old and still enjoy disney I guess it could.. but you know what - I love Disney and always will #proud,  Laughing when you're not supposed to - it a categoric 'guilty pleasure - because you can't stop laughing (when you're not supposed too) for which you feel guilty. XD Skipping school - (for whatever reason) It feels so good, yet so wrong.. What are your guilty pleasures? Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

This post I doubt will be much of a list because I just don't think I could choose any favourite words... Any words that have meaning (to me) are no doubt higher up the list, but I couldn't pick a top one or even a top ten for that matter! The only thing I feel needs saying, is that I believe that the invention of words was 100% the most valuable invention ever! Nuff Said. Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Now, it would be totally wrong for me to not be bias for this list and have my name at the top.. Chantal DeHaine But other than that I can't really say. I mean, yes, I've already chosen what my first daughter is going to be called, but you can't know that yet... Classic names are always a winner, you really can't go wrong with an Elizabeth or a Nancy. And a lot of the more traditional names are coming back into fashion - Margaret, Florence and Ethel for example. Or tradition can be completely contradicted by the more Unusual names of the twenty-first century; i.e. Monroe and Juniper, or just being named after general items of weather or random objects really.. But in general - I find it's the people who make their name and not the other way round!! What's your favourite Girls Name? Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

When I saw this heading on the list challenge, I was apprehensive because it doesn't seem like I've ever payed that much attention to smell. I mean, yes, I wear perfume and all that jazz but my 'favourite scent'? However, without realising or particularly choosing scented things, there's a running theme for all things smelly amongst my possessions. I light Green Apple scented candles in my room, my shampoo is Green Apple and the air freshener in my car is Green Apple... Thus I think it's fair to say that my favourite scent is Green Apple!! Although you can never really go wrong with Vanilla - of which I also have a surplus of in candle form.. Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

If I had the ability to read minds there's only 5 people I'd want to read... Albert Einstein - I'm sure there was some great stuff going on in that head of his.. Queen Elizabeth - What does it take to rule a country? Plato - I can imagine being astonished by his pure brilliance Descartes - 'I think, therefore I am'  Buddha - all that wisdom in one place... Who would you want to read?? Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

You could; Skydive Write a really short blog post, like this one XD Run Watch a movie Have a bubble bath Rock climb Fly across the world Sleep Buy someone flowers Read a good book Drive to the beach Today you could change your life - really, there's nothing stopping you!! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

  If only I could travel through the 'time-y wimey stuff' oh the things I would do and the things I would see... I would travel to the beginning of time just to see its creation.  I would watch the great blaze spread across london and tell the baker it wasn't his fault. I would go and ask Einstein where he got his ideas. I would ask Shakespeare how he actually spelt his name or whether he just changed it to confuse people. I would discover who wrote the bible I would thank whoever created the first words I would have afternoon tea with Henry VIII and barely escape a beheading I would march with the suffragettes I would thank Sir Baden Powell for the Girl Guides I would not dabble with the future. What will you do when they create time travel? Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

A while back I stumbled upon the assumption that in spending 10000 hours one could completely master a skill and I've always wanted to try it out. I'm a creative soul and I like to see the progress of something. So rather than spending 10000 reading a book about something and becoming an expert I'd much rather get my hands dirty with experience.  Some things that I want to learn to do are; play the guitar expertly carve wood glass blowing build houses calligraphy read music write shorthand fluently fluently 'speak' sign language draw amazingly special fx makeup And gosh so much more... I could spend my whole life learning new things and never get bored #planforthefuture Do the things you want to Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Okay so I can drive - but I've ridden in a car since birth, have been driven in a limo, get the train frequently, have been on a plane, can cycle, used to love rollerblading, can ice skate (not that I could get very far), have walked down those moving walkways in the airports; so you see I've experienced a lot of modes of transport. And thus there are only a few (that I can think of presently) that I haven't; Helicopter  Hot air balloon  Unicycle - if I could ride one XD Jet plane Space rocket Although I think Hot Air Balloon is the most likely one, which is a little upsetting :( What mode of transport would you like to try?? Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Chantal what are all these quotes here for?? Well the title is pretty explanatory; these are just three of the quotes that will stay with me for the rest of my life.  I just feel like they are really empowering!! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine
