I was born Michelle on April Fools Day in 1982 but ended up getting called Micha, Mesho or Mimi by friends. I have a mom, a dad, a brother, a soon to be sister-in-law, a doggy & the most wonderful best friends any girl could ask for. When I was a small kid, I always got mistaken for a boy as my mom had a habit of forcing me to have boy cut hair not to mention favouring Action Men over Barbies. I loved nothing better than riding my little BMX bike which subsequently meant that the Accident & Emergency Department in the local hospital knew me by name. Thankfully I’m now a fully fledged girl, boobs & all… minus the addiction to all things pink!

My parents are from the UK, so I guess that technically makes me British (or Scottish, if you want to be technical). I was raised in Singapore and Kuwait, resulting in having a messed up accent and having no clue where to call “home”. No one normally knows where I’m from when they talk to me, within a nano-second you hear a mix between american, scottish and english. Yes, I’m aware that I’m rather weird, but that’s the best bit about being me

In 2006, my mom bought my grandfather a Yorkshire Terrier puppy & he named him Bobby (I call him Chewy or Doggy Dog). He is the cutest thing alive, he was born with liver problems & needs to be medicated for the rest of his doggy life. I blog about him *alot*
