Questions and answers...

Okay, so this is basically an updated "about me" because I haven't done one since I started this blog two years ago. I basically looked through a bunch of quesiton and answer posts off of other peoples blogs and threw together a nice long list of questions.

Me.

1. Do you have any siblings?
   I do yeah, I have two brothers and two sisters. 
2. How old are you? 
   I am 19 :)
3. What's your height? 
   I think I'm 5"6
4. Do you workout?
    Kinda, I try to do as many sit-ups and crunches as I can everyday, and I also try and walk instead of using trains/buses as much as I can. 
5. Do you have any pets?  
   I don't no, although I did had a bunny called Buttons when I was younger and I have always lived with dogs as my parents always have them. I don't live at home anymore though and I can't have pets in my flat.
6. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?  
   drawing, singing, baking and binge watch netflix. 
7. What do you feel is your greatest achievment? 
   I got a distinction in my grade 5 singing exam, and an A* in my music performance assessment. Which is pretty good for me because I'm not very lucky when it comes to getting good grades.
8. What do you value most in life? 
   My family 
9. What do you do? 
   I'm at uni, but I'm also looking for a part-time job.
10. What is your dream job? 
    I'm not completely sure. I'd love to sing, that's my biggest dream, but, my main dream job is any career that I can help people in. I can't imagine myself sitting behind a desk because of my knee problem so idfk. Maybe I'll try out youtube, that would be perfect for me. 
11. What did you take for your GCSE'S/in college? 
    For my GCSE's, I took catering, media studies and music. and in college I did applied science - boring af. 
12. Do you make good grades? 
    no. I am one of them highly unfortunate people who studies their ass off and still gets awful grades. 
13. Do you want to get married later on in life? 
    Not particularly. I don't like to feel trapped and that's basically what a marriage is, and tbh, I'd rather not be trapped with one person for the rest of my life, I'd end up spending every day riddled with anxiety. 
14. Do you have any phobias? 
    fucking..omg, yes. Heights are just, ew. And spiders, moths and daddy long legs, I'd rather not. 
15. Have you ever been abroad? 
    nope *sigh*

Beauty/Shopping. 

1. Heels or flats? 
   I adore wearing heels but fuck, they hurt far too much so imma go with flats.
2. Where do you buy most of your clothes from? 
   As I'm a student, I'm therefore a poor fucker and can only afford to buy clothes from primark, new look and H&M. 
3. Favourite drugstore makeup brand? 
   Rimmel London and Maybelline cosmetics. 
4. Favourite nail polish brand? 
   Barry M. 
5. What was your first makeup item? I think it was a Barry M lipgloss or something. 
6. At what age did you start wearing makeup? 
   I was either 12 or 13, started off basic with a pretty crappy eyeliner and mascara. 
7. Do you wear falsies? If so which brand? 
   nope. 
8. How do you take care of your hair? 
   I make sure I wash it every 4 days because then it's still getting it's natural oils that it needs, but it's always getting kept clean - don't want to wash it too often. I also use two hair serums, a dove one (that isn't available in the UK, I got mine in a poundshop because the langauge on the bottle is in a different language) and a john freida one. I also make sure to use a deep conditioning hair mask every week and, I mainly use one called Roots from Lush. I'm not the best at caring for my hair though as I do dye my hair quite a lot. 
9. Whats the colour of your natural hair? 
   I think my natural colour is a mousy brown. 
10. What are your views on plastic surgery? 
    if it's what makes you happy then go for it, just don't go too far...one lip filler is fine, it looks nice, but 5 looks tacky - know the limit. But ye, I'm considering it myself. 
11. Do you bite your nails? 
    ew no.

XOX.

Monthly favourites/Collective Haul!

I know that it's not quite the end of the month but we're two days away from the end of February so I thought I'd post this now because, this is a post I've been really excited about posting. It's going to contain all of the small bits and bobs I've loved and bought this month.

Music! 

Okay, so the first thing I've loved this month is FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney. I heard this sound the day that the video was released and adored it, listened to it on repeat for about half an hour and decided to buy it and I had it on repeat for the rest of the day. Insanely good song. I think it would be a lot better without Kanye though but whatever. If you've not heard it, I strongly recommend that you do.

Random bits & bobs!

The first thing I bought this month for myself that wasn't food was this hair dye. The colour I bought was Bubblegum Blue. And although it has not came out the correct colour (due to a bad bleaching job) I would still recommend this dye. My hair came out a gorgeous blue/green colour so even though it's not the blue I bought the dye for, it's still came out a nice colour. I bought this box of 4 from Amazon for £10, which is an absolute bargain considering the individual tubes are £4 each.

These bedsheets are gorgeous! I loove hedgehogs so these were just (almost) perfect for me. (to have been perfect it would have had to have had pugs on it) But anyway, I bought these for about £9 from Primark which was an insanely good price for bed sheets, especially seen as they're really good quality as well.

Makeup!

I had been wanting to try out this foundation for a very long time. And I must admit, I am glad I got it. It's a really good foundation considering the price. The coverage is good although, it's quite thin so it does requite some layering. Although I do think that I'll try a different foundation next time I need to buy some. I bought this from Superdrug for £7.

(does nail polish count as makeup?) 

This was quite an impulsive purchase. I had been after a grey nail polish for a long time, and hadn't found one that was a shade that I liked. But, I was in tesco, and I happened to go past the Barry M counter and saw this and I just had to buy it. I'd prefer a matte one but a matte top coat is easy to come across these days so it doesn't bother me too much especially seen as I love it as it is. It dries super fast which is a bonus as well. I do two coats which is more than enough for a nice even coverage. Barry M nail polish never fails me. I bought this for £4.

Clothes & Accessories!

I had been after a new bag for a while and I went into new look and this bag instantly jumped out at me. It was the perfect size for what I needed it for and it's gorgeous. I use this bag all the time and would not be without it. I paid £23 for this bag.

As you all know, I have been planning on joining the gym and as motivation, I bought some gym clothes. I bought this vest and a sports bra but I won't be posting a picture of the bra on here. I am in love with this top and can not wait to wear it for the gym or anything I choose to wear it for. I bought this vest for £22. And I bought the bra for £22 as well. I ordered both items off of amazon. I would have bought the bra elsewhere but, as my bra size is too awkward to buy in a store, I had to order it online.

Happy New Year

So on the 22nd of this month, Liverpool had it's annual Chinese New Year parade. So obviously I went and picked up a few things before watching the parade, in the pouring rain might I add. I got absolutely soaked but it was completely worth it because it was such a good morning.

So the first thing I bought was the classic Chinese New Year parade dragon. I just had to have one of these because I used to get them from school when I was younger but they always got ruined.

The second thing I picked up was this lucky buddah charm. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. At the minute he's hung on my memory board but when I get a car he'll definitely be in there. 

The last thing I picked up was the Chinese lucky coins in a red ribbon. They did have these in gold but I'm more of a silver person so I picked it up in silver. I've worn these on a choker a couple of times since I got it and it looks so beautiful, but right now it's in my purse. You can never have enough luck!
