True Facts About Moi!

I've wanted to do a quick blog, telling the world some unknown facts about myself and just general things you may or may not know about me. So when I came across a blog page called "It's Life" And saw that she had done a simillar thing, then I jumped at the chance and sort of...erm....copied her? I really hope she doesn't mind! Her blog page is doddlove.blogspot.com so feel free to check her out :)

Anyway here are my random facts!!

1. Are you named after anyone?

 No, Mum told me she and my Dad just liked the name!

2. When was the last time you cried?

Ooh not sure actually. I am a bit of a crier usually but I don't think I've cried for a while!

3. Do you have kids?

No, I have a nephew if that counts? :)

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?

Yes I think so. I know I can come across as shy but if someone persists to get information out of me then you can't shut me up!

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Ahh I do! Usually with my friends or family; not with complete strangers! That is always a bit risky...

6. Will you ever bungee-jump?

Ohh god I dont know! I would love to say yes but when it came down to it, I don't know if I could!

7. What's your favorite cereal?

I don't really have one as I get bored after a box or so....Oh wait! I take that back! I could never bet bored of Lucky Charms. It's just a shame they're so expensive in the UK

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their smile. If they have a warm, genuine smile then I know we can get along :)

9. What is your eye color?

Blue

10. Scary movie or happy endings?

Happy endings probably

Petrol, rubber tyres and freshly mown grass. Weird combo I know!

Probably Summer because I complain alot when I'm too cold.

13. Computer or TV?

Computer! I'm far too addicted to Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and my Blog!

14. What's the furthest you've ever been from home?

Errrrm....Malta? I'm rubbish at Geography so haven't a clue! :/

I have far too many but if I had to pick right now....I'd say either Beauty and the Beast or......Fight Club. Wow, how different are they?!

20. Do you have any siblings?

Yes, I have an older sister called Sam :)

21. What do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm pretty much grown up now and I haven't the slightest idea!! A professional writer would be my dream but I don't know how realistic that sounds right now.

22. When was your first slow dance and the song?

Gosh, I really can't remember! I don't think I've ever had a memorable or meaningful slow dance if I'm honest.

23. Movies you dislike?

I generally dislike Westerns and really, really old war movies. But I REALLY hate the film Kung-Fu Hustle! That was one of the longest 2 hours of my life!

23. What three YouTubers would you like to meet in person?

Ooh I can only pick 3? Hmmm....well probably Fleur De Force, Ingrid/ missglamorazzi and....Tanya/ pixi2woo

Well I hope that settles a few things! If anyone wants to know anymore or ask any questions then feel free to comment on this post! 

Hope you're all having a great Monday (haha, I'm sure!) and hope to hear from you soon!

(Very) Belated Birthday Gift Review!

My birthday is actually in February and one of my best friend's finally got round to giving me my present about 3 weeks ago....better late than never I always say! I was thrilled to get my present from her as I look forward to gifts from her every year; whether that being at Christmas or my Birthday! The reason? Because she gives such amazing presents! She seems to know me so well, even though I've only known her about 3 years, and she is so generous too. So you can imagine my excitement when she walked into the pub (yes we met for a pub lunch!) and handed over a bag full of presents saying it was all for me!

She (Grace) bought me 3 books and she made me open those first! The first one is called Dream Makers by Nora Roberts and if you didn't know already, I absolutely love Nora Roberts books! I have a small collection of her books and just love adding to it! I havent actually read it yet but I'm sure it will be as well written and enjoyable as all her other books I have had the pleasure to read. The second one is called Crazy As Chocolate by Elisabeth Hyde. I haven't read any of her books but Grace assured me she is a phenomenal author and the tittle itself struck a chord with me as I LOVE chocolate! The third and final book is the one I've actually started to read reccently and it is called The Chocolate Run by Dorothy Koomson. Yes, more chocolate I hear you say! I've only read the first few chapters so I can't really give a review on it but I will do at a later date once I have finished it. The few chapters I have read have been funny and brilliantly written so I am hopeful! It is written by the author that wrote My Best Friend's Girl (which isn't as bad as it sounds!!) and I absolutely loved that book. It's beautifully written, funny and true to real life, but it's also very sad and would probably make you cry! I know I did!

The final part to my present I was most excited about as my friend had given me an inkling as to what it was. It was a brand new Ecotools brush set! The set consists of one face brush, one concealer brush, one eyeshadow brush, an angled liner brush, one comb brush and a small round mirror in a brush roll to keep it tidy. I'd been after a new set of brushes for ages as I always seem to buy one at a time and never stick to one brand. I also seem to buy more low end brushes (e.g- from boots!) and I was desperate to get my mitts on a decent set!

After the initial screams of thanks and "ohmygod!" I managed to contain myself long enough to take a good look at my new brushes. The first thing I noticed was how soft they all were. I know that sounds silly but that matters to me as I have quite sensitive, irritable skin, especially around my eyes, so need my brushes to be soft and gentle. Obviously I was unable to start using them straight away as we were out in public about to have lunch! But when I got home, I couldn't wait to try them out. The brush I use the most now is the face brush and I use it for mainly bronzer but sometimes blush. What can I say about them? They don't shed any hairs at all which is amazing, they are soft and gentle to your skin and they are.... brilliant?! I do sometimes use the concealer brush as an eyeshadow brush and it seems to work really well! All in all I love these brushes and will deffinitely invest in some more in the future :)

Keep an eye on my Blog as I'm planning on writing more posts within the next few weeks!
