So I´m Active With Ella but who is Ella?
Here´s a list of 45 facts that every bestie should know the answers too 😉
- I´m actually a scouser. I was born in Liverpool but raised in Ireland since the age of 5.
- I´m 5´3
- I used to blog about Fashion & my blog was called ELSCHAMBER. Turns out I wasn’t quite the fashionista I thought I was. I guess leggings & Nikes are way more comfortable 😉
- I have an unhealthy obsession with Peanut butter especially Mani-life. It is the best thing in life after my doggy Peanie Potter.
- Which brings me to the next one. I have a dog called Peanie Potter. I got him when I lived in Spain & he is now being dog-sat by my family in Ireland. I also have a cat called Gizmo who I got in 2001. Peanie loves her & well she doesn’t love him so much)
