11 Things About Me...
-My family and friends mean the WORLD to me. I love and appreciate every one of them.
-Turquoise is my favourite colour.
-I absolutely love Elephants (love love LOVE them!!)
-I'm a massive book worm.
-My middle name is also my Nan's name, this means a lot to me - especially as my Nan is no longer with us.
-My favourite flowers are Peonies.
-I have the worst sweet tooth.
-My brother is easily one of my best friends!
-I love going to new places. I have a huge list of places that I would love to go to. Finding the time and the money is my only obstacle at the moment.
-I really would love to learn how to play the piano. I will (hopefully) find the time to do this at some point.
-I'm a sucker for glitter.

The Questions...

1. Have you been travelling? If so where and if not where would you most like to visit?

I have been to Spain, France, Greece, Italy and Turkey - all of these were holidays. I would really love to go travelling and definitely have plans to do this in the future! There are loads of places that I'd like to visit such as, Africa, the US, Thailand, Australia, India etc.

2. Favourite beauty product EVER?

This is quite a difficult question for me. I don't think I have a single stand out favourite. But if I had to pick it would probably be my Bobbi Brown corrector - simply because a decent concealer is a must for me. Otherwise it would be a lipstick... but again it would be hard for me to choose a favorite :)

3. Favourite piece of clothing at the minute?

This would be a tie between my new black jeans from Warehouse or a big comfy knit cardigan.

4. Beauty product you really want to try?

I would quite like to try the Clarisonic. It's been on my wishlist for ages.

5. Most embarrassing moment?

This would be a close call between me almost drowning under the BIGGEST waves in Spain a few months ago (in which I rose from the water looking a complete mess, coughing and bikini that had NOT stayed put) or when I graduated and my cap fell off on stage. I laugh about both of these things now, but at the time they were slightly embarrassing!

6. What do you look for in a boyfriend?

The usual: a sense of humuor, someone who is caring, thoughtful, honest and supportive. 

7. Worst Fear?

Being trapped in a very confined space. I'd really hate that, I can get quite claustrophobic. 

8. Heels or Flats?

I do love heels, but I often wear flats so think they win this one.

9. What was your favourite stuffed animal/toy as a kid?

I had a white fluffy teddy bear with a red and white bow tie. I can remember when I was given him and that he was always in my bed - I loved that bear.

10. Favourite TV show?

I have loads of favourite's. I love F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Grey's Anatomy, True Blood and Family Guy.

11. Five words that best describe you?

Caring, optimistic, creative, honest and open-minded.

My Questions for those that I have nominated...

1. What do you enjoy about blogging?
2. What is your favourite blog?
3. What are your top 3 favourite beauty products?
4. Your favourite lipstick (or balm/gloss)?
