Georgia

This week we have challenged Londoner, foodie and cool-girl Georgia to choose 11 items that represents her and her life in the past, present and future!

One item that represents my childhood: Bubble-gum flavoured ice-cream on a cone with strawberry sauce and sprinkles

"Just writing this makes me smile! I actually had this a few weeks ago from a passing ice cream truck, I bit into it and had flashbacks of the days when I’d finish primary school and sometimes my mum, dad (mostly dad) or whoever we were with would let us get ice cream – I’d choose the same thing every time and my sister would get a boring plain ice cream with strawberry sauce. It was amazing to see that nearly two decades later we both still chose the same thing, some things never change."

One item that represents my ethnicity: Okra soup and pounded yam

"Hmm Okra soup and pounded yam! I’m Nigerian, Igbo and we are big foodies and I

haven’t yet met one Nigerian person that dislikes Okra soup, especially with stew,

and I better not meet one to be honest! (Ugh I’m making my mouth water writing

this)"

One item that represents my biggest passion: A mirror

"This is tricky because I’m not the type to choose one specific thing and stay with it. I don’t

want to mention a food item again because you’ll probably begin to see a pattern there lol so

let’s go with ‘Life’ and something that represents life – A mirror. A weird one but I think it

portrays the constant ever-changing state and that you’ll never look the same as you did

the previous day though the difference may be minuscule and unseen by the naked eye, it’s

there, same with our thoughts, dreams, locations, appearances etc., like life, nothing stays the

same so it's important to seize the present or the day as they say , carpe diem!

I’m passionate about life and all the beauty that comes with it. Having a conscious

appreciation for life in all its mundane allows me to enjoy the many things I am passionate

about whether that be, fashion and content creation or, cooking up gourmet meals and

baking random things, helping the homeless cause, photography, running and staying active

etc. My passion is to simply try and be the best I can be and that takes a lot of honest

conversations with yourself."

One item that represents my highest ambition in life: A ticked off to do list in my diary

"Then I’ll really know that I got off my booty and worked! I think my ambition is to be able to get to a place where I am happy and proud of myself, a place where I can honestly look back and say that I have no regrets, minimal ‘what ifs’ and my family and friends are content too."

One item that represents my current mood: My headphones

"I love my current playlist so I’m always listening to that. If there’s no actual music on there is always music in my head haha. Sometimes I’ll be talking or someone is talking to me and a specific word or line reminds me of a song, so I’ll have to sing that for 10 seconds before the conversation can resume. Everything is better with a backing track."

One item that represents my favourite person:  An ab machine

"Eek , I have 4 siblings and friends that make this question way too political to answer! I think

collectively an item that would represent them is the machine that you can do ab work on in

the gym. Haha – whenever I’m with friends or family it mostly involves belly-aching laughter

similar to the feeling you get after the first set of an ab workout!"

One item that represents my style: A jumble sale box

"Style changes depending on my mood, I have no actual aesthetic as I vary from rocker chic to preppy to boho vintage to corporate lady boss, to 90s teen to Nordic minimalist to black girl magic to runway-esq to-cant-be-asked-to-dress-up-so-im-probably- wearing-my-pj-bottom- under-these-jeans! What they may have in common though is that it looks easy as I don’t try to wear anything that obviously isn’t me. If I am wearing anything ‘over the top’ as long as you slip on a dash of confidence on top, you’ll be fine."

One item that represents my greatest fear: A huge pile of unopened bill letters or emails

"If they’re unopened I’m obviously scared to open them, and if I’m scared to open them then girl you messed up somewhere along the lines!"

One item that represents my profession: Skyscrapers

"Right now its big skyscrapers."

One item that represents this year: My crucifix

"Being catholic I find that no matter how crazy and surprising life gets, faith allows you to face each challenge unafraid. Bring it *boxing bell rings for the next round*"

One item that represents me: Le Labo fragrances

"The most amazing mix of androgynous scents, you start the day smelling one way and by the end of the day you’re surprised to find that it has morphed into something unexpected."
