TMI Tag :)

Hey guys! I've been tagged by the lovely Alyshia from Sincereley Alyshia (Be sure to check out her blog, it's a great one!)

It's been ages since I've done a tag and I think this is actually the first one I've actually officially been tagged to do.

Apologies for the delay as I was tagged a while ago but if you regularly read my blog you would know about y stressful period at uni which I'm still recovering from, so my apologies.

 

QUESTIONS!

A black pyjama top with pink love hearts on and black jogging bottoms.

No not yet
Ever had a terrible breakup? 

Nope.
How tall are you?

 Around 5'4"-5'5"
How much do you weigh? 

About 60kg (in the process of losing a stone)
Any tattoos? 

No and don't intend on getting any. I'm not the biggest fan of them
Any piercings? 

Yes. I have 2. One in each ear but I'm hoping to get my tragus and cartilage pierced soon!

Zodiac sign?

 Leo
Quality you look for in a partner? 

My kind of sense of humour (which can be pretty weird).
Favorite Quote?

 I definitely have more than one but right now I'd have to say: "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do". I repeatedly find this out all the time
Favorite actor/actress 

Anne Hathaway and Sandra Bullock
Favorite color? 

It's gotta be purple!
Loud music or soft?  

Loud! I barely ever listen to soft music and when I do it doesn't last long. Which is weird as I'm a pretty quiet person.

My room and just stay in my bed until I fall asleep
How long does it take you to shower? 

Around 15-30 minutes.
How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? 

Not including showering, about an hour-an hour and a half. All depends on how much effort I'm putting into my hair and makeup and whether I like the outfit I choose.
Ever been in a physical fight? 

Does fighting with my brothers count?
Turn on? 

A sense of humor, musical, clever, athletic
Turn off? 

Swearing, being mean and inconsiderate, bad fashion sense
The reason I started blogging? 

I wanted a way to 'waste' my time more productively and since I bought a lot of stuff anyway it only felt appropriate to join a community of others who do the same.
Fears? 

I hate animals and insects. No matter how much you tell me they can't hurt me, they're more scared of me than I am I will always fear them and stay as far away as possible from them!
Last thing that made you cry?

 I can't remember. I don't cry often but it was probably something I watched
Last time you said you loved someone? 

Not sure, I'm not a very emotional person... hahaha
Meaning behind your Blog Name? 

I couldn't think of anything but that I love life hahaha (super cheesy- not like me at all)
Last book you read? 

The Fault in our Stars by John Green.. I had heard so much about it and even though it's not really my kind of book, I decided to get it as it was really cheap on the google play store. I actually really enjoyed it (It finished way too soon in my opinion) and am looking forward to the movie.
The book you're currently reading? 

I've got your number by Sophie Kinsella. I'm really enjoying but it's taking me much longer than it should to finish it due to these never ending assignment.
Last show you watched? 

Revenge.

One of my uni friends
The relationship between you and the person you last texted? 

Good uni friend

Last place you were? 

Uni lecture theatre (fun times)
Do you have a crush? 

No
Last time you were insulted? I can't remember. People don't tend to insult me hahaha (to my face at least)

Chocolate
What instruments do you play? 

I play the guitar and piano
Favorite piece of jewellery?

 I love earrings. I love studs and dangly ones. Gold jewellery is my favourite.
Last sport you played? 

As the weather sucks and my favourite sports require playing outside, I've only really been going to the gym which doesn't really count as sport but it's exercise
Last song you sang? 

Drunk in Love ( I actually don't really like this song but it's in my head)
Favorite chat up line? 

I don't have one. All the ones I have heard make me want to cringe
Have you ever used it? 

N/A but I would never hahaha
Last time you hung out with anyone?  

Outside uni setting I would have to say Sunday. The sun decided to make an appearance and I had a great pub lunch. Was super stuffed and didn't eat anything else that day hahaha
Who should answer these questions next?

Christmas tag

Hey guys!

It's December! The month of Christmas! So my first post of this month has to be a Christmas themed one so what better than the Christmas tag?

1) Do you prefer a real/synthetic Christmas tree? 

Synthetic. I'm not the biggest fan of nature and I don't really like the smell.

2) You're in a coffee shop, its December, what do you order?

It has to be a hazelnut hot chocolate. Starbucks do the best!

3) What's your favourite colour scheme to decorate the Christmas tree?

I love the classic colour scheme of red, gold and silver with loads of tinsel and baubles.

4) Do you prefer to give or receive gifts?

I can't pretend I don't love to receive gifts. Who honestly doesn't? So I'm going to say I prefer to receive gifts. However, you can't beat the feeling you get when someone opens a present you got them and they genuinely like it.

5) Do you like mince pies?

I've tried to like them but it just doesn't happen. I love the pastry though but nobody wants to eat the filling by itself and give me the pastry. Lol.

6) What's your favourite Christmas lunch?

I don't really eat traditional Christmas lunch. Don't get me wrong, I do eat Christmas dinners at like work and uni Christmas dos but on Christmas Day I don't eat the traditional as some members of my family aren't keen on it. But I love pigs in blankets and that is somehow incorporated into my unconventional but delicious 'Christmas lunch'.

7) What's your Christmas day fashion?

If it's just my family at home I'll be in something comfortable like leggings and a big jumper (not a Christmas one- I actually don't own one...). Loads of room for me to eat as much as I can :)
 If we're having guests then I'll wear a more presentable jumper and skinny jeans. (That way I eat a more reasonable amount...)

8) What's your favourite Christmas song?

There are a lot to choose from and after posting this I'm sure I'll remember others. I'm a big fan of Last Christmas and Rocking around the Christmas tree.

And you can't forget the classic 'all I want for Christmas is you'. 

(I hope those are their titles lol)

9) Favourite Christmas film?

I love Home alone or the grinch. I can't choose one. It's impossible.

I also love Merry Madagascar, a short but funny Christmas themed film from the Madagascar series.

10) Open presents before or after lunch?

I'm not waiting till after lunch! It's a struggle to wait till Christmas Day!

Hope you've enjoyed this tag and I tag you all! It's Christmas and I think you should all do it! If you do, let me know. I'd love to read it!

Skincare tag

Hey guys

So I've read quite a few skincare tags and even though technically I haven't been tagged and since I'm looking for things to blog about I thought I would jump on the bandwagon. Enjoy :D

Describe your skincare routine in 5 words
easy, refreshing, gentle, regular, modifiable

  What's your skin type?
Oily-like major, which I find so annoying, yet to find products that allow

me to remain shine-free for majority of the day. I guess one benefit

is that my skin remains young (or so I've been told...)

  What's your favourite skincare product?
At the moment it would have to be Soap and Glory's 2-in-1 facial pore purifying mask and peel

It's the best mask I've used so far, leaving my skin feel clean and not greasy

Top blemish zapper

I haven't used one that I'm happy with. I am currently using the Freederm 

one which I'm notimpressed with so am more

than happy for people's opinions. Now that I'm more regular with 

my skincare routine, breakouts are less common 

but when I do get spots (because unfortunately I still do)

 it would be nice to have one that works

Face wipes yay or nay? 

I use face wipes when I get home just to remove the make up I have but 

before I go to bed I wash my face properly as I don't think face

wipes remove all the make up properly, especially

eye make up
  Toner yay or nay? 
I do use a toner but I'm yet to find one I'm 100% happy with so I'm welcome to suggestions

  High end skincare or high end make up?
I think I'm more inclined to buy high end make up because I find make-up more exciting

but it is important to have good skincare but I feel many of the drugstore products are more than great if

not better at times 
  What's the most unusual skincare product you've tried? 
I actually tend not to use unusual products on my face because I'm quite scared about how

my face will react to it. If I had to answer, I would say a self-heating mask I used once, which did feel 

weird on my face but I didn't like it as I didn't

feel that my face was cleansed enough afterwards

You're in a French pharmacy and can only pick one item - what is it? 
I recently saw an advert on Lancome's skin pigmentation corrector and I 

would love to try it out as I would love to get

an even skin tone. Would definitely result in less foundation use
Tell us your top skincare tip

Drink as much water as possible. It's a tip I try to follow as much as possible

because when I do, I definitely see great results in my skin

I hope you've enjoyed reading my skincare tag. Let me know what you think and any suggestions especially on how to deal with extremely oily skin and how to keep my face shine-free all day. I'm more than happy to check out your skincare tags so just comment below and I'll give them a read :)
