Sad news... my camera is broken and is away at camera-hospital being repaired! So I've decided to do a blog post which doesn't require new photos today :) I visited my friend on instragram's blog http://paigewallbankxo.blogspot.co.uk/ which is so lovely, and I seen her 20 questions tag which I thought might be quite nice to do :) by the way... I'll apologise now that my introductions to each post don't begin with a "hi guys" greeting... I'm just not quite sure who I'm talking to on here yet as I'm pretty new to blogging so having regular readers seems a little wishful at this stage! haha ... anyway, here's a little dip into my lifestyle/thoughts!
1. THINGS YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT...
The usual... phone, keys, purse... and I guess my watch would fall into this category
2. FAVOURITE BRAND OF MAKEUP...
Wow, what a difficult question for a compulsive beauty shopper! urmm, I think mac would probably be my favourite. They have a great selection of everything! From eye shadows to lipsticks, all their colours are so beautiful. If I could pick my next favourite too it would be closely followed by Maxfactor! Then maybe Rimmel... ok I'll stop there haha!
3. FAVOURITE FLOWERS...
VALENTINES DAY 2013
Aww I think this is a lovely question as flowers really do make me feel special! My very favourites are roses, any colour but there's something really beautiful about white/pink ones! They look really sweet and fresh so I love having some in a vase in my room. Also, in the late Summer/Autumn time, sunflowers really catch my eye
4. FAVOURITE CLOTHING SHOPS...
Ok now for a typical long-winded "Laura" answer ... Until recently, I used to be really plain with clothes, just leggings and a top would do but now I've been much more experimental with clothes which I'm enjoying a lot more!
- Urban Outfitters has surprisingly been my favourite of this year! I've always loved their clothes, but being a size 12-14 meant that I couldn't just buy anything from there as I often found their sizing to be on the small side (which made me feel down in the dumps leaving the shop! haha) However, when I went in for a pre-uni wardrobe shake up, I went into the changing rooms and tried lots of things on (something I usually avoid at all costs) and was very pleasantly surprised! Found some of my favourite outfits I own :)
- Primark (always good in winter for scarfs, gloves etc)
- Topshop
- H&M
- Next
- Zara (handbags in particular... do they count as clothing?)
DRESS: URBAN OUTFITTERS
DRESS: TOPSHOP
SHOES: NEW LOOK
DRESS: URBAN OUTFITTERS (SALE)
5. FAVOURITE PERFUME...
Miss Dior (thanks Matthew hehe xx)
6. HEELS OR FLATS?
I'm quite tall, so heels aren't absolutely essential but a nice pair of heeled boots or some platforms always make me feel a lot more dressed up for a night out! But for the most part... flats. I must just add, that shoes are my very least favourite things to shop for!
7. GOOD GRADES?
I'm pretty proud of my grades so far I'd say. Got pretty consistent GCSEs... 6 As, 5 Bs... however I was slightly disappointed there were no A*s or Es because at least that would highlight anything I was good/bad at haha! At A level I tried out Maths for a year and was hopeless (E grade) but I continued with my other 3 subjects, Psychology, Sociology and Art. I came out with 2 As (which I worked extremelyyyyy hard for) and a very unfortunate D in Art which I also worked very hard for :( But, onwards and upwards and hopefully I'll get a good degree :)
8. FAVOURITE COLOURS...
I like a good baby pink :) ... rose-gold jewellery, taupe/smokey brown kind of colour for eye shadows, I like to wear black... Overall, quite a few!
9. DO YOU DRINK ENERGY DRINKS?
Yes, ever since secondary school I've loved lucozade sports (raspberry)
10. DO YOU DRINK JUICE?
Yes! I've never particularly liked fizzy drinks so I often drink blackcurrant squash, fresh orange juice, ice tea etc (or my favourite... milk! but I don't think that's a juice haha)
11. DO YOU LIKE SWIMMING?
I do :) well... lazy swimming haha! This involves a big rubber ring to float around in... which is my favourite thing to do every holiday :) Swimming in general is ok, I'm not particularly sporty unfortunately but of all sports, I guess I do enjoy swimming :)
12. DO YOU EAT FRIES WITH A FORK?
Definitely not McDonalds/KFC... I love them too much to bother haha otherwise, most of the time
13. WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE MOISTURISER?
Morning - Origins GinZing or la roche posay effaclar duo
Night - *tip for people with oily skin* the lady at a Liz Earle counter said that if I use my cleanse and polish cleanser, going without moisturiser at night can stop the little oily patches! But, in the winter if I do use moisturiser at night, it would be the Origins drink up intensive overnight mask or the liz earle skin repair
14. DO YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED LATER IN LIFE?
I guess I do, but there's a lot more things on my 'life plan' which are a lot more important to me :)
15. DO YOU GET MAD EASILY?
I overthink and analyse things too much, so I get upset about small things too quickly...
16. ARE YOU INTO GHOST HUNTING?
Certainly not! haha... I'm such a wus at horror films, I once had to take some paracetamols before bed to stop me getting a headache by stressing out too much after watching a scary film!... Jaws is my kinda horror! ;)
17. ANY PHOBIAS?
^^^ maybe the above haha
18. DO YOU BITE YOUR NAILS?
Sad confession, yes. I have acrylic nails on just about 95% of the time so I don't have chance to bite them anymore. But, I realise this is a no-win situation for my natural nails as they're either bitten away or damaged with false ones! oops...
19. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE?
Nooo, I'm pretty cautious (boring haha)
20. DO YOU DRINK COFFEE?
No, not a fan of coffee I'd much prefer a cup of tea or hot chocolate. I realise this makes me a whole lot less mature-sounding haha!
Well, I hope you enjoyed those very random questions and it gave anyone who doesn't know me a little gist of "Laura" :) Thanks for reading!
