Hello and thank you for having me! I'm Cat; a 17 year-old Scottish blogger, with a slight book-hoarding problem and a real love for 90s boybands and chai lattes. My blog, Through A Cat's Eyes, is my pride and joy.
I started blogging in August 2007. I've had the same blog for the full time and haven't taken any long breaks or hiatuses, but there's been a name-change and I've deleted the old posts (they were really embarrassing...). I got into blogging through my friend Amber from The Mile Long Bookshelf. We became friends in 2007 through her blog and I started blogging pretty soon after because she inspired me to give it a go myself. I haven't looked back since!
The one I've been using recently is Soap & Glory's 'Peaches & Clean' face wash and I really love it. I'm on my second bottle which is quite unusual for me so I guess it must be good! I'd also recommend Garnier's micellar water for a basic, all-round makeup remover and light cleanser.
Usually conversations I have with friends. For example, I had a conversation with my friend, David, in my friend's kitchen at a house party recently about how we don't have any real problems, as we're living in a first-world country and we're white (typical slightly-drunk conversations...not). It got me thinking about perspective and has inspired me to write a post about it (maybe coming up soon!).
In all honesty, I struggle. I'm in my final year of school and only have 5 official school days left before I stop forever - scary stuff! Uni will undoubtedly make blogging difficult but I've been doing it for long enough to get a good balance and be quite good with my time management. I tend to just blog when inspiration hits and set some time aside for blogging to take a break from school-work. It's all about balance and priorities which really just comes with time.
My name's Catriona but friends and family call me Cat. Aaaand, I've always kind of wondered what life looks like to a cat, so my blog name has a bit of a double-meaning.
