•Do you have a favourite dinner?

Probably chicken quesadilla’s but I’ve been getting into Chinese style Beef n Broccoli lately.

•Can you suggest any handy household tips?

I’m one of the least domesticated people ever LOL. Ummm, I know it’s handy being bald??. If the shower plug thingy is ever clogged up, I’m not involved in the police lineup.

•Do you have a favourite celebrity chef or home & lifestyle influencer?

I don’t even know what a home & lifestyle influencer is lol….but I do like the chef Rick Stein. I used to like the guy who used to get blind drunk on wine while cooking too.

•What does home mean to you?

I think it’s the place where you are truly yourself. There’s no truer version of you than the one at home.

•How do you like to spend time aside from home/family?

Making music, listening to music, watching music documentaries. Basically, anything involving music.

•Do you have a favourite desert?

I have a huuuuuge sweet tooth. Probably why I don’t have many left. My favourite is probably peach and pineapple yoghurt.

•Can you name one item you couldn’t live without?

Probably obvious from one of the last answers but my headphones. I go to sleep listening to music and can’t sleep properly without them.

Thank you Eughine! 🤎
