Seven Little Things (Versatile Blogger Award)

Hey all,

Sorry this post is up so late at night, I have been having technology issues; and those of you who follow me on Twitter would have read that I was about to throw my laptop out the window! I still can't seem to comment, or reply to comments - which is driving me insane! I will get back to you all as soon as I work this all out though! 

I was nominated for a Versatile Blogger Award by the lovely as ever Tegan from Tegania's Thoughts - thank you so much!!

So, here are seven little things about me! 

1. I love to read - it is honestly one of my favourite things in the world! I can get lost in a book for hours and hours! 

2. I probably talk about my cat a little too much! - I can't help it, I adore her. A lot of my friends say that I am a couple of traumatic experiences away from being a crazy cat lady. 

3. I have epilepsy - it's a part of me, and I am completely okay with it. I don't believe that it defines me as a person or holds me back. I just have to stay away from strobe lights, haha. 

4. I really do live for food - I spend a whole lot of my waking time eating, and if I'm not eating I am talking about what I am going to eat later, or food in general (when I am not talking about my cat, hehe).


5. I will always fight for what I believe in - be it Gay Rights, equality or equal pay, I will not stop fighting until I see positive change. I am a social worker after all.


6. My favourite colour is purple.


7. I am a big people person! I enjoy talking to people, being near people and learning about people! So always feel free to chat to me on twitter or send me some comments and emails!


The whole point of the Versatile blogger award is to lead others into some new, and quite frankly amazing blogs that they may have never heard of before!

Rules

Guts & Glamour Tag

Hey all, 

I absolutely love tags! They are always fun, and you always learn interesting bits and pieces about people that you would have never known otherwise. What can I say, I'm a snoop. 

I was talking by the wonderful Ess at This Is Ess.

1. What is your favourite fruit juice? 

Cranberry juice is definitely my favourite! I love its distinct, not too sweet taste. It is also packed full of antioxidants which is an added bonus! 

2. How long has it been since you last shaved your legs?

Shaved them yesterday! Hah, you thought you could embarrass me, didn't you? :P 

3. If I was stuck on an island ... (finish this sentence)

I would find a way to relax for the rest of my days; hopefully I have a few books and some mascara. 

4. What is the one thing you can never leave the house without?

My phone! That thing is my life support system, and I start getting nervous when we're parted for too long! (I'm not crazy, promise). 

5. What are your three biggest pet peeves?

Sentences that go like this: "I'm not racist...BUT", "I'm not complaining...BUT". EUGH! 

Scraping cutlery on plates when eating, it is not a pleasant noise. 

People who 'forget' to indicate when driving - I don't know where you're going, unless you let me know! 

6. What was the pit and peak of your day?

Pit - Realising that I have a uni assignment due on Friday. 

Peak - Scrumptious sushi lunch with mum. 

7. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Let's just say a lot, more than I care to admit. Haha. 

8. When and why did you start your blog?

October last year - I was going through a very stressful point in my life, and felt like I needed to do something that I loved. So I started this blog as a bit of a release, and it worked wonders! It gave me a bit of a fresh start! 

9. Would you rather kiss Lil' Wayne for 10 seconds or hold a snake for 10 seconds?

Snake, definitely. I find snakes kind of cute...

10. Who is your favourite person in the whole wide world?

My mother - she is the biggest inspiration in my life. I am the person that I am today because of her :) I am also quite a fan of my cat, but there are those of you who would argue that she's not a person! 

11. Are you a coffee or tea person?

Tea glorious tea!! All sorts of tea. My current faves are: Peach Green Tea, French Earl Grey, and Peppermint. 

Now I am supposed to create some questions.

1. What's your favourite thing about blogging?

2. Who/what is your biggest inspiration?

3. How many lipstick's do you own? Approximately.

4. Describe your go-to look, what do you like about it?

5. Bright lips or colourful eyes? 

6. What is your favourite food, or type of food? 

7. Do you have any pets? 

8. Where is your favourite place to holiday? 

9. Do you read much? And what do you enjoy reading? 

10. What's your favourite TV Show of the moment? 

Now, I tag ALL of you! I want to read lots of responses! Leave the link to them in the comments, and I will check them out! 

Hope you all have a great afternoon! xx

This or That Makeup Tag

Hey all, 

My second tag! Aren't tag's fun?! Hooray for tag's!(Yes, I am in a bit of a strange mood) 

Saw this tag on a blog I follow (Beauty and Bows for all who are interested - it's a great blog, check it out!), and decided it would be a super fun thing to do! I am also looking for any reason to not write my assignment...

Makeup:

Blush or Bronzer?  I have to say blush, just because my skin is quite dark anyway and I probably don't NEED bronzer. 

Lipgloss or Lipstick?  Lipstick, I don't like the stickiness of lipgloss so much & I have bought some gorgeous new lipstick shades recently! 

Eyeliner or Mascara?  Eyeliner, I can get away with not wearing mascara (although I don't enjoy it). 

Foundation or Concealer?  Foundation. I feel absolutely naked without it! And I could probably get away without a concealer, although I would look awfully tired! 

Neutral or Coloured Eyeshadow?  Neutral; of course I love playing with colours, but neutral eyeshadow is timeless, and can go with everything. 

Pressed or Loose Eyeshadow?  Definitely pressed! My encounters with loose eyeshadows usually end up with my entire face covered in a light dusting of the stuff! Messssssy! 

Brushes or Sponges?  Brushes, I don't really work with sponges often. I like the control a brush gives you, and the feel of it as well. 

Nails:

Long or Short?  Long, my nails are always long and I absolutely love them. It would make me sad to see them go! 

Acrylic or Natural?  Definitely natural! I prefer the way it looks, feels, and no matter what anyone tells me believe that it is better for your nails! 

Brights or Darks?  Darks, I think that it suits my skin tone more & it's easier to match it. But I have been wearing a lot of brights lately. 

Flower or no Flower?  None, something about nail decorations just annoys me. 

Body:

Perfume or Body Splash?  Perfume. 

Lotion or Body Butter?  Lotion, I like how light it feels on my skin. Although I do use a lot of body butters in the winter. 

Body Wash or Soap?  Body wash, this is an easy one for me - soap free body wash. I am allergic to soap, I also never liked the way that soap feels & find it quite drying. 

Fashion:

Jeans or Sweat Pants?  Out in public? Definitely jeans! I like to pretend that I don't have a massive stash of sweat pants in my drawer ;) 

Long Sleeve or Short?  Short, I live in Australia, enough said! 

Dresses or Skirts?  Dresses, I am a big dress wearer.  

Stripes or Plaid?  Stripes! I am in a very nautical mood lately. 

Flip Flops or Sandals?  Sandals, I'm a girly girl & frankly I don't find flip flops (thongs in Australia people) pretty enough. 

Scarves or Hats?  Scarves, I love hats but I just don't wear them enough! 

Studs or Dangly Earrings? Dangly earrings :) 

Cowboy Boots or Riding Boots?  Riding boots, just got some for the past winter (what Brisbane calls Winter anyway), and I LOVE them! 

Jacket or Hoodie?  Jacket, I always feel like I am suffocating in hoodies. 

Hair:

Curly or Straight?  I'm going to be a rebel and say wavy! 

Bun or Ponytail?  Bun, just gets it all off my face. I also hate the way ponytails flick around, well mine does anyway! 

Bobby Pins or Butterfly Clips? Bobby pins, my cat steals them all though. 

Hair Spray or Gel?  Hair spray, I don't think I have ever used hair gel and don't like the way it looks at all. 

Long or Short?  Long, my hair is always long. 

Light or Dark?  Dark.  

Side-swept Bangs or Full Bangs?  Side-swept, although I haven't had a fringe for a while now. 

Up or Down?  Down most of the time, but up when I need to think. I cannot think for any length of time with my hair down! 

Random:

Rain or Shine?  Sunshine!  And lollipops...

Summer or Winter?  Summer, I live in Australia! I really do not enjoy the cold, at all! 

Fall or Spring?  Spring.

Chocolate or Vanilla?  Chocolate, nomnomnomnom. 

I really did enjoy doing this blog, and hope you enjoyed reading it, and perhaps learnt a thing or two about me! I would love to see all your responses, so I tag you all! 

Now, back to my horrid assignment I go... :'( 

Hope you all have a great night & had a much better Friday night than I did! xx
