Tag: 13 Personal Questions!

I was tagged by Georgia from Beauty Inside Art to do this tag about a week or so ago and it looked fun - so here is my version! Now here are a few pictures of ME - so vain, I know! 

1. What do you order at Starbucks? 

I only really buy Starbucks during winter/Christmas time and I always get the gingerbread latte (heaven!). Although I love coffee more now, especially iced coffee, so I will have to go in Starbucks soon to see what they have for summer!

2. What is the one thing in your closet that you cannot live without?

That is a difficult question as I love a lot of things from jumpers and skater dresses to skinny jeans and jackets but I would have to go with my Dorothy Perkins Skinny Petite Jeans - they hold their shape really well and they are super cheap!

3. What is the one thing that most people don't know about you?

Errmm...I am a vegetarian, I wear contact lenses and I adore husky puppies...well that's three things...

4. What is the one thing you want to do before you die?

Speak fluent Italian...or live in America!

5. What is the one food you can't live without?

PASTA! I adore pasta and I have done since I was a baby! But I do love noodles, pizza, pancakes, cheese, bagels and french baguette too!

6. What is the one quote you live your life by?

I don't really know, I don't really have one. Just live your life to its fullest and be yourself!

7. What do you like/dislike about the blogging community?

I LOVE all of the positive, lovely comments on my blog posts and all of my followers - it makes me really genuinely happy that people like my blog and what I write! Although I do not like the 'follow for a follow' type comments - if you like my blog and posts then follow if you want, if you don't then look at another blog. 

8. What is your number one song on your ipod?

I love music so I have a lot of songs that I would say are my number one songs but recently I have been loving two new songs from Fall Out Boy - 'the phoenix' and 'young volancoes'. Check them out on youtube!

9. What kind of style would you describe yourself as having?

I don't know, I like simple classic basic clothing - a kind of Scandinavia simple approach to clothing. But I love French style, it is so chic and sophisticated so I am trying to incorporate that into my wardrobe. 

10. Favourite number?

15, as I was born on the 15th of August. 

11. Two hobbies?

Singing - I LOVE to sing and shopping - if that counts!

12. Two Pet Peeves?

People who are fake and who let down their friends and commitments. And people who play their music really loud on public transport or in their car.

13. Your guilty pleasure?

I would have to say...euro pop and eurovision. I love it and I have watched it nearly all of my life really. I love it because it is quite cheesy, very kitsch and unusual - and very catchy! *Cringe, I know*

Week in photographs #21

New Nail Polish Buys |  New Rings (H&M) |  New Primark Top |  Iced Mocha Frappe |  American Food |  Coffee Notebook |  Eurovision | Coffee Candle | Ring and new polish | Squirrel 

My week has consisted of: Writing reviews and blog posts, getting deliveries, new polishes, Eurovision and ASDA - American food and iced coffee - in particular the McDonalds Iced Mocha Frappe!

Firstly, new nail polishes - I have gone a bit nail polish crazy over this past week! I have bought another one of the MUA polishes in the shade 'plum noir' which I like but the formula is a bit streaky - even with two coats. I also bought a Miss Sporty polish (I have heard a lot of good things about them) in the shade '456' - love the shade and the formula! I also have a polish from NYC in the shade 320 blue sky' which is a gorgeous shade but the wear and formula are not great. I also love the mini OPI polish I received in my Birch Box this month.

Iced coffee and American food have been my obsessions this week - especially the iced mocha frappes from McDonalds (I have just finished another one...oops). I think they are about 300 calories each which is a lot but I don't eat the whipped cream that comes on top - I would highly recommended these!  Also we went to ASDA yesterday (which is Walmart in America) and found that they have started selling some American foods such as Mountain Dew, Pop Tarts, Coffee mate etc. Mountain dew is great, I love it!

Finally, Eurovision. As I am from England, we do cringe a bit when 'eurovision' is mentioned because we always come last or second to last! It is kind of a joke in England. Although we have won it a few times in the past and I think the idea of Eurovision was created in England. We had Bonnie Tyler (she looked and sounded like she was drunk). Most of the songs were...not great to say the least but I did LOVE the song from Malta! Greece and Hungary were good too. The worst songs, in my opinion, came from France and Finland - I mean seriously! Obviously everyone has their own opinion and you may like the songs I don't/do - if you are not in Europe you may be able to watch Eurovision on Youtube and I definitely recommend it. I do love how it brings European countries and singers together (yes, I am a bit of a eurovision/euro pop geek!). Overall, the UK didn't do too badly, we had 24 points I think and we were far from the bottom of the list!

I hope everyone had a great week! x
