10. Coke Zero: I have at least one can of these every day. It has to be zero since I don't consume sugar, or I at least try not to. Nothing quenches my thirst like an ice cold Coke Zero. If I cannot find Coke Zero I'll settle for TAB. Yes I do know that it's an unhealthy habit and I tell myself that the rest of my healthy lifestyle makes up for it. I need to have little pleasures in life.

9. Pants: I wear pants 99% of the time. I enjoy wearing a pretty dress now and then but pants you'll always find me in pants. Dark jeans are my favorite. In summer I'll definitely pair up some shorts and a cute top to enjoy that summer air.

8. Eyeliner: I cannot be out in the world without eyeliner. I don't mind walking around with no makeup but I need to at least have added some pencil to my eyes. I look extremely tired without it. My preference for color would be black or dark grey.

7. A nail clipper: I love pretty nails but I can not do long nails. Give me a short nailed manicure anytime. Back in high school I absolutely adored long nails but I think it's something I've just grown out of after having my first baby.

6. Cleaning products: On black Friday I'm only interested in cleaning products. I have tons of cleaning stock. I just love the smell and feel of clean things. When I moved people found it so strange that I had one tiny box of food and two boxes of cleaning products. I store soap, toilet cleaner, floor cleaner, bleach and so forth. See, I'm feeling happy just thinking about it!

5. Socks: The only time I'm without socks in Winter, is when I'm in the shower. My feet become extremely ice cold like ice cubes. I am a summer baby but socks and a blankie is key for the prefect Winters' day. I'll accept those fuzzy Christmas socks gifts anytime! Send those socks my way.

4. My bed: I've got a king size bed which I absolutely love! I'll choose a spot then curl myself up into a tiny little ball. There's so much space and it makes that I do not want to get up in the morning. I slept on a double bed recently at a holiday house and I could not believe or recall that a double bed felt so small. Thank you King size!

3. Bed-slippers: Bed slippers are so comfy and relaxed. They are my go to shoes in the house. Although I wear it all the time, for some reason I'm also always looking for it. I'm surprised that I've only got one pair. I guess I'm loyal to that one pair until "wear&tear" do us part.

2. A hair tie: Or as we say "pompom". I need to be able to tie my up on demand. I love the feel of lose hair but I get quickly annoyed by the fact that it's all over the place. I'm that person who goes to the hair salon and then ties my hair up as soon as I walk out the door. My hairdresser actually caught me doing this once and as was not very impressed. All her hard work to waste and to add I've got quite a lot of hair on head.

1. Internet: Yes! My number one thing that I can not live without is the Internet. My world would crash if there was lever to be a life without internet! I live, eat, sleep, breathe internet. When I'm sick - I Google it. When I'm bored - I Google. When I wake up - Facebook. Before I go to sleep - Facebook. During my lunch - I Instagram (***free work WiFi***). So there you have it.

***BONUS***: I just had to add a bonus item! I do not know how I could have forgotten about this. I'd be miserable without tweezers. Can you image walking around looking like a hairy worm has housed itself on top of your eyes? I need to keep those brows on fleek! I'd usually have my brows threaded as I find that it's a much cleaner look. If only I could master the skill of threading myself, I'd be threading more than brow.
