This week I was tagged by the lovely blogger and fellow Make up Mafia member Sarah from Seriously Shallow to do the Would you Rather - the beauty edition. Ive seen posts like this knocking around and this one seemed quite fun so I figured i would give it a go!
Would you rather lose all of you mascara, eyeliners, lipsticks and lip gloss or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?
Ah man that is a totally hard one because I am SO in love with my Mac Pro Palette and my Naked Palettes - particular No's 1 & 3 but I would probably have to ditch them given the choice. Lets face it some eyeliners if you smudge them out could work as an eye shadow and I don't think I could go without Mascara. I have recently started to get into Lipstick more - especially now the beauty brands have developed the formulas which don't make you feel like you mouth has been in the Sahara for a week! Lip Gloss I can take or leave - I am totally over the whole hair sticking to your lips until someone can invent a non sticky one!
Would you rather cut all your hair off or never be able to cut it again?
Im going to say that I would rather cut it all off - having said that though I have done the short haired look (trust me it was bad and I spend years regretting having it cut so short - we are talking pixie cut/shorter). The trouble with my hair is, it is so thick and when left to its own devices is curly. If it goes past my shoulders it starts to go all kinds of crazy so I tend to stick to a bob type style but I hate to think what it would be like if I could never cut it again!
Would you rather have coral cheeks or pink cheeks?
Coral is a winner for me every time. I tend to stick to coral type colours because they suit my olive skin colour better. I often struggle to find a proper pink that looks good on me.
If you had £1000 would you rather buy clothes or make up?
Oooo thats a hard one... I think I would probably spend £500 on each! I love both :)
Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
What the? I think i would probably say eyeliner as lipstick...
Would you rather only shop in MAC or Sephora?
Well I've never shopped in Sephora before but from what I have read you can get lots of brands in Sephora so probably that.
Would you rather use one eyeshadow colour or one lipstick colour for the rest of your life?
Probably one lipstick, I have loads of lipsticks in my draw but I never really move away from my Revlon Chubby Pencil which takes up permanent residence in my handbag.
Would you rather wear Winter clothes in Summer or Summer clothes in Winter?
I don't like wearing lots of clothes - ok that came out wrong - I mean I hate over complicated. I hate long sleeves on anything and 9 times out of 10 if something has long sleeves I push it up to my elbow.
Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eye product?
Again like I say I tend to stick to one lip product but I could give it up.
Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?
I long for Zoella's Messy bun but my hair is not long enough for either a pony or messy bun. Id deffo choose a messy bun look though.
Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipstick?
OMG I can't even think about never being able to paint my nails again! My nails are like my thing!
Would you rather shave your eyebrows off or have non at all and fill them in everyday?
Id rather shave them off tbh! I tend to be rocking a full fringe anyway and you can rarely see my eyebrows anyway.
Would you rather live without make up or nail polish?
Now I know what I just said, but I don't think I could go without make up (without fear of scaring folks).
And there you go thats the beauty edition of would you rather! If you feel like doing this tag then I tag everyone!!! If you do it then leave it in the comments below and I'll have a read!!!

Good evening, wow its not very often you here me say that is it! But here I am sat here on a Friday night in bed, I have officially become a world cup widow!
Now its not that I hate football, but the idea of sitting through every single match for the next 3 weeks is not something that appeals at all! Sure I'll be patriotic and watch the England Matches (as long as they don't interfere with my sleep) but that about stretches me to my limits!
So my lovelies! I think the next 3 weeks is going to get us well and truly aquatinted again as I fear I may be going rather a lot of what I am now, sitting on the bed with the door closed, laptop on knee.
So how are we all? I feel a little out of touch with this! I don't feel like I have blogged properly for SO long! What with everything that has happened over the past few months! I love this little space on the internet that is mine though and I am going to start showing it some serious love and attention that has been lacking recently!
Let me know what you want to see. I have a couple of posts lined up for you, including a sneaky peek at certain parts of our new house - I want to start doing a few different kinds of posts too, some homey posts, things like that so I hope that is something you will all enjoy! Any more ideas then feel free to leave them in the comments box :)

You may remember back in February when I hot footed off on
the train to Nottingham for my first ever blogger meet up organised by the
lovely Kelly and Emma - You can read all about it here.
When I found out the girls had decided to organise another event, this time in
Birmingham I was straight there putting my name on the list.
The girls chose the fantastic venue of Cherry Reds tucked
away just around the corner from both the New Street Station and the Mail Box.
This time we took up one of the venues function rooms on the first floor which
was fab as I felt like you could really sit and chat to people without the
worry of other people noseying in (what is it about a group of people getting together
that makes people do that?? Although hands up I am the same!) The venue itself
was lovely. Not the sort of place you would normally stumble on, on a trip to
Birmingham because its tucked away from the main shopping are but still close
enough to go to.
We had 2 talks lined up for us. Jo from Weleda came and
spoke to use about the company, their products and we got to have a play, smell
and try of their products. There were defiantly a couple of products which
caught my attention. What I liked about Weleda is the brand focuses on the
green aspect of beauty and is one of the largest companies to focus on all
things natural, organic, eco-friendly and fair trade. We were given a goody bag
including a couple of samples of their products to try.
After we had all had a drink, chat and food, the lovely
Suzie from Xenca told us all about her brand. Now I will hold my hands up and
admit that before the event Xenca is not a brand I have heard of. I will admit
that I am one of these beauty people who knows what they like and likes to use
brands that have been around forever. I think I would like to start being more
adventurous and start using new brands. Suzie told us in comparison to Weleda
which is similar in its ethics, Xenca has only been around for a few years. As
we listened to Suzie’s talk it was certainly a brand which caught my attention.
Xenca has a wide range of products available including skincare, beauty and
also their range of “healthcare” products. Suzie again let us play with all of
the products and let us try some of the health products including the cologen
powders designed to replenish the cologen your body naturally loses as you get
older and the 5 day + powder which contains the equivalent of your 5 fruit and
veg a day. At the end of her talk offered us the chance to have either a free
lipstick or eye shadow. After swatching all like mad I chose the eye shadow in
the shade cappuccino which I thought would be perfect for work! (You can see it in the below picture in the top left)
Overall the event was a fantastic well organised (again) day! It was so lovely to meet some of the bloggers who had been at the last event as well as some new bloggers! I really can't tell you how nice it is to sit and talk to like minded people! We couldn't resist a cheeky snap of us all at the end of the day (minus leah who had to go to get her train) - I'll leave links for all the girls below so make sure you go and check them all out!!!
Left to right:
Emma: Frugally Peachy
Caroline: Putting your life in order
Sarah: Seriously Shallow
Kerry: Kerry Just Beauty
Kelly: To Become Mum
Laura: Life and Lipstick
Naomi: Style Face Beauty
The lovely Suzie is on the end from Xenca and heres a link to Leah (Peaches and Smoke)who isn't in the picture.
Hopefully it won't be too long before the girls decide they will organise another one :)
Hello my lovelies! I am bacccccckkk!!!
Firstly I want to say thank you for sticking with me! I know there is nothing more annoying that a blogger who disappears for months. If you didn't see my last post about everything that was going on then check it out here
So anyway.. Im back from Ibiza which I will go more into in a sec and was absolutely fantastic and me and Adam have officially moved into our house! There are still a few things in boxes and we need a few more homely touches but its home :)
Ibiza was absolutely fantastic. It was such a lovely place. Ive been to Ibiza twice before to a different part of the island. This time we stayed in an area on the south side called Cala Llonga which is a really quiet little village with about 4 hotels, a few shops, a few bars.. its perfect.
I mean just look at that! Who can resist waking up to a view like that??? The fortnight was spent with lots of sunbathing, game playing, book reading... it was just what I needed.
I'll probably share some more photos and things I picked up (duty free anyone) soon but I just thought I would share that with you for now.
Tomorrow I am off to the 2nd Midlands Blogger Meet up - this time it is being held in Birmingham. I am really looking forward to meeting up with a lot of the bloggers that I met at the Nottingham event which I went to in February! I am really looking forward to kick starting blogging again by sharing my adventures with you! :P
Hope that you are all well. Leave me a comment and tell me what you have been up to :)

Hey lovelies!!! Remember me!
How is it even May this week! The last few months have been such a blur! I can't believe it has been nearly 2 months since I sat down, laptop on knee and chatted with you guys! I really have missed you and have so much to catch up with you! My life has taken some serious changes over the past 2 months!
So one of the last posts I posted was about finding unique presents on Etsy. You can read it here. As I said in that post my friend from Sheffield came to visit for the day and we went out. 2 weeks later after he came, he came down again. Now I am not going to lie, me and Adam have alway had quite a flirty relationship - we only actually met up twice since we initially met wayyyyyy back in 1999 - he came up for my 18th Birthday and I went up to Sheffield for the day last year. It had been 6 years then since I had actually seen him but we texted each other practically every day. Anyway when he came up in March, one thing led to another, we kissed and the rest as they say is history!
I can not even begin to tell you how bloody happy this boy has made me. Not to get all soppy on you guys but he really is amazing! The last 2 months I have been completely swept off my feet!
Anyway not only did this happen, around the same time we got together Adam (who lives in Sheffield and works in Barnsley/Meadowhall) was offered the possible chance of moving his job to Derby. We carried on dating, him driving down here most weekends either for the whole weekend or on a Sunday to spend the day, and left Derby at the back of our minds. Then it was all confirmed that it would be happening!!! Adam decided he wanted to move to Stoke if he would be working in Derby as it would be closer to commute from here and he wanted to be here. SO we looked for a house, starting renting a house and we move in officially this weekend!! Honestly everything has just fallen into place so fast but it all just feels so right! I have had a couple of bitchy comments from people - don't you think it is all happening too fast but as I keep saying to them - me and Adam have known each other for 15 years - its not like we just met. I don't think I have stopped smiling for the last 2 months!
One not very nice thing that happened at the end of March was that Dad was quite ill! He had a heart attack while at work (me mum and dad all work at the hospital) and it was pretty scary time! Gladly he is on the mend now and getting back to his old self!
So what else has happened... I got a new job!!! Its within the same department that I work in at the moment but doing something different - well kind of different - I was given the chance to do this job on a secondment basis and when the opportunity came up for me to do it full time and permanently I went for it and got it! :)
Can you believe that my holiday is just over a week away! It doesn't seem like 5 minutes ago since we booked it so in between moving boxes and spending the weekend with my boy, I have been buying new holiday clothes and packing too!
I can't promise that I am going to be able to blog over the next couple of weeks - what with moving this weekend and then i'll be away but once I am back from Ibiza at the end of May, I will have internet at our house and should be in a routine and be able to sit down and spend some time blogging again! I hopefully should be going to another blogger meet up at the end of May so that may be something to kick start my blogging up again. It is being organised by the lovely Emma and Kelly again but this time is in Birmingham.
I hope you are all well! I promise I will try and keep you updated over the next couple of weeks until I get on here properly again! Make sure you are following me on Twitter and Instagram to keep updated with my travels and adventures! Leave me comments with what you have been up to and what gossip I have missed!!!!
