Get To Know Me

Hola, so I've been hiding the past few months, well I haven't but I just haven't put any time into my blog. I can make excuses as to why I haven't but the bottom line is IT'S BEEN FREAKING AGES!

Today since I was uber bored and practically dying away I thought I would get back into the swing of things and start my blog up even if I can't upload on YouTube yet however with any luck that should be starting again rather soon...fingers crossed.

Many of you who read this might know a few things about me but some of you might only know my name or what I have put out online beforehand so I thought it would be cool to do a Get To Know Me tag.

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

My hair is naturally curly however when I was younger it was dead straight but over the years it has gained curls, but they aren't half a pain.

2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

I used to get my mum to dye my hair for a few years back in secondary school but I made bad hair colour choice and wanted to go back to my blonde, I used colourb4 to strip some of the dye out but I found that it gave me an eggy smell to my hair for weeks after using it even after vigorously washing it which was not cool at all. I then read online about baby shampoo, condinter and calcium tablets on removing hair dye so I used that mixture a few times but it was taking ages to lighten so in the end I headed to a salon and I've been there 3-4 times now and I absolutely love it there, thought I haven't been in at least a year....oops!

3. Do you wear the same style every day, or do you change it?

I keep my hair simple because I have limited skill set when it comes to making it beautiful. My go to's when I am doing errands or at work are a pony, messy bun or plait. However if I am at a gig or going out with friends I usually make more of an effort by straightening it or curling it. 

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

I never get my nails done because I have the bad habit of biting them, I know it's disgusting but I do it when I am stressed/nervous/anxious, I have tried multiple times to grow them but failed.

5. How often do you change your nail polish?

If I am to wear nail polish which is very rare it is only for one day or so. As I said in the previous question I am a nail biter so they don't look so pretty. I have tried false nails a few times but I haven't been able to get the knack of them yet.

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?

I hate my feet, and never get them out unless I have to so they aren't painted.

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?

If I am just going to work it usually takes about 5 minutes if that. However if I am going someone important or have more time I will take a lot longer making it look a lot more polished and attempting liner so that would be about 30-40 minutes.

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

I do my base first so my foundation, concealer and so on. I rarely use eye shadow so my eyes usually consist of mascara and occasionally eyeliner.

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?

I wouldn't say I collect makeup as such nor do I buy it when I just need it, I am an impulse buyer and if I see something I think would look pretty on me I buy it. I own up to 30 lipsticks and only ever use about 6 of them because I buy before I think.

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Not often, I've worn them twice before, I suck at doing them and don't see the point in wearing them if I am just nipping into town for a few hours, though I feel like I could probably wear them a lot more as I have stubby little eyelashes unlike my brother who was blessed with amazing lashes.

11. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?

I don't wear makeup everyday and on the days I do I usually just wear my "every day" look minus lipstick and eyeliner.

12. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with family?

Sometimes it really depends on what mood I am in; if I feel really down and ugly I will sit and do my makeup even if I am not doing anything. And I often find myself when I am bored at nights sat in my room trying out different makeup looks and regretting it instantly because I waste all my products.

13. Will you leave the house without makeup?

Yes and I often do, it doesn't really bother me not to have makeup on. When I travel to gigs I often go bare faced and do my makeup there because I can't deal with having to do it again once I've been on a sweaty coach for 5 hours or something ridiculous,

14. How many high-end products do you have?

I don't own any high-end products I would however like to invest in MAC foundation when I have the spare cash because it seems wonderful but I am more of a drug store brand gal, and there is no shame in that.

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?

When I am going out in a different city I decide what I am wearing as I have to take it in a suitcase with me but if I am just going out locally I just shove on whatever I have in my drawers at the time.

16. How often do you change your handbag?

I am really quite bad and never swap my bags over unless they are on their last legs or should I say straps (hilarious) so time wise I would say about every 2-3 months if that.

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

I suck with sleeping, usually I sleep at 2/3am wake up at 8/9am then have a nap about 3pm.

18. How often or when do you workout?

I aim to work out but I usually do some zumba in front of the TV when I have spare time and go on walks with the dog. If I really put my mind to it I could probably work out every day....that's a lie.

19. Left handed or right handed?

Right handed.

20. How tall are you?

5'5" 

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?

Nope, I studied French in primary school and took German at GCSE but I remember about 2 words of each and that's the common ones that everyone knows even those who haven't taken the language.

22. How many pets do you have?

One. A dog (I think he is a mongrel) and his name is Charlie.

23. How often are you on Blogger?

Hardly ever but I am keen to get back into the swing so I would say I will be on at least 5 times a week, reading blogs and updating mine.

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?

Yes, I love to see what other people's opinions are and what they recommend.

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

I wish I did as I see a lot of things I think I would love to try but I always end up forgetting, so maybe a plan is to make a note.

26. How did you come up with your blog name?

It's linked with my YouTube but not entirely the same title.

27. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?

When I take pictures I use my Nikon Coolpix which I bought a few years ago when I took art.

28. How often do you clean your house?

I usually vacuum twice a week and general tidy about once a week, I however can't say the same for my bedroom, and it is a mess, though I am planning on cleaning it tomorrow when I get home.

29. What's your favourite colour?

Black.

30. Do you swear?

Often and I have to stop myself as it's getting really bad, argh!

31. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

Considering it is 11pm and I am in bed writing this I am probably going to watch some Youtube videos, finish a few more chapters in my book and maybe sleep.
