I don't take part in tag blog posts quite as often as I used to but I always enjoy reading them and one that has been going around recently is the 73 thing about me - a blogger's version of Vogue's 73 questions. I last saw this on the lovely Lisa's blog and she left it open for anyone to take part so I had to share my answers. I'm not tagging anyone in particular so if you like the look of the questions, feel free to take part on your blog and let me know so I can have a read!

1. What is your usual Starbucks order?
Chocolate Cream Frappuccino. I would very rarely go for a hot drink, it would have to be a freezing cold day in Winter but in that case I'd probably choose one of their festive hot chocolates
