Hey everyone! My name is Ellen, if you didn't already know ... Anyways, I'm a teenage girl living in London going to a secondary school just trying to live my teenage years to the fullest! Well, kind of... Here, I just want to talk a little bit about my side so you will all get to know me. Fits of all, as I already mentioned, I'm a 13 year old girl and I live in the UK. I just wanted to start off by saying what my hobbies are and what I love doing. Okay, so I love to make podcast videos, even though I've only made one! I love the colours turquoise,

baby pink, black and white. I love classical music as well as country and pop music. Oh I always wanted to mention that I'm half Ghanaian and half Japanese, so my mum is from Japan and my dad's parents are from Ghana so that makes me "blasian", if that's how you spell it, I guess! Comment where you're from! Sorry for trailing off, continuing... I have two siblings, one younger brother and a younger sister. If anyone knows me well, they would also know that two of my favourite subjects are maths and chemistry, yes I am that girl. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE anything Disney or Ghibli. If you guys didn't know what Studio Ghibli was , it is a very famous Japanese animation film studio. Ghibli has literally been almost my whole life and my all time favourite film... Kiki's delivery service. If you have any favourite Disney or Ghibli or any film recommendations in general then please let me know and I will be sure to give you a shout-out! I also love stationery and I know this is kind of random but when I have cute stationery then I feel so much more motivated to work and speaking of work and studying, make sure you listen to my podcast on Spotify, The Silver Linings Podcast to listen to the top 10 tips in how to maximise productivity and minimise procrastination.
My dream job is to be a dermatologist and I've always wanted to be one since I was so little, or so what my parents told me. My inspiration is my dermatologist who used to take care of me so well so a MASSIVE thank you to her for helping me improving my skin. You see, since I was a few months old, I think, I had very severe eczema to the point where my mum had to but full body pjamas and gloves where she tied some twine around my wrists so I wouldn't take them off and scratch myself. I also often got really hot and my mum had to take me outside in the freezing cold, you know England for its horrible weather especially at night. She always put cream on me as well as my dad and I often had to take blood tests because I had so many allergies. I have an allergy to eggs, unless baked in cakes and cookies/some raw fruit on birch trees such as apples unless poached/ nuts (of course) / seafood and it's pretty complicated. Oh ... little story time, for those of you who know me in really life may know but once in year 6, basically when I was 10, I had to do a blood test but first these nurses were putting like an anti-freeze spray or somehting on my skin and if you have ever had that before you know it burns like crazy. And then attempted to extract blood from my skin like three times and keep saying that "my veins I too small" but what do they expect?! Do they want me to just pump my veins with blood and just pump it so much that it's just bulging out?!?!! Then I went to another doctor who specialised in blood tests, tried to take my blood like another 5 times I believe and I couldn't take it!! You know when people distract you when they want to do something to you, in my case, they read you like "Where's Wally books?" And they just put on this random TV Show as if it's all gonna unicorns and rainbows but I know they were just trying to help... Can you relate? That's why I wanted to be a doctor and still do becuase despite everything, they've always been so supportive my whole life.
My point is don't give up on what is most important and remember to pass it on, whatever someone has done for you, you in return provide something for someone else in need in later years.
So if you like this blog, and I am very sorry it was so long - it just felt like I was writing in my diary :) - make sure you subscribe to the blog and remember to send me an email or send me a message! You can also give me any recommendations that you want me to do and I will give a shout to those who message me, if anyone does!!! Anyway it was fun writing this and talk to you soon!!!!!!!
