What do I enjoy in my free time?
🎬Movies - BESIDES Horror movies... I love them all! Comedy is my favourite genre as I love having a laugh.
🍜Food - I am always on the lookout for a new cuisine to try and for the best bubble tea! If you see me post on my instagram story be sure to expect food! I also give unsolicited food reviews but you will thank me later.
🎡Going out with friends - My favourite thing to do is go out with my friends, do an activity, get some food (let’s not forget about dessert) and a night full of laughter and conversations. The best part is when I make my vlogs and get to relive it again!
🎮Games - Whether it’s minesweeper, Shrek 2, Overcooked or Black Ops... i love it all! I also love board games and designing fun trivia questions when I host.
🏵Henna Artist - You can find me on instagram @Al.henna where I showcase my artistic side through henna and even make my own cones!
