This or That?

Hello! 

So lately I've been feeling slightly uninspired. But I had a look at Pinterest, blogs and YouTube and I'm going to do the This or That tag. P.s I've recently discovered a youtuber called "Frannerd" and I want to illustrate. I'm gonna try after this post anyway. I've always loved art. Sorry I'm rambling here are the questions!

Makeup:

Blush or bronzer?

Bronzer. Even though I barely use it. I have naturally red cheeks so I don't like blush much. I'm also very pale. I think I'm physically unable to tan. 

Lip gloss or lipstick?

Lipstick. I HATE LIPGLOSS. It's so sticky and unnatural. Euck

Eyeliner or mascara?

Mascara. Gotta get those fluttery eyelashes to get the bae ;) I joke. I already have long eyelashes so I just need volume. 

Foundation or concealer?

Concealer. Cos you know being a teen and all my hormones need to sort their shot out. I think that's enough said on the matter

Neutral or colour eye shadow?

Neutral. Does anyone ever say coloured?

Pressed or loose eye shadows?

Pressed. I'm VERY clumsy so me with loose eye shadows would just be a mess.

Brushes or sponges?

I really, really want to get a beauty blender but I don't wear foundation all that much so there would be no point. Brushes it is then. 

Nails:

OPI or China Glaze?

OPI. I've never tried either of these but I looked at the colours that OPI had and they all seem so beautiful!

Long or short?

Long and Short.  I like long with bright colours in summer and short with darker colours.

Acrylic or natural?

Natural. Eau de natural (is that how you say it?) I don't know I don't speak French... My nails grow super fast anyway I don't need acrylic

Brights or darks?

Darks. I love me deep greens and burgundys. Ooh lovely.

Flower or no flower?

No flower. I don't like designs much. 

Body:

Jeans or sweat pants?

Jeans. I love black skinny jeans (as mentioned in my Winter Staples) oh I got a cheeky self promo in there ;) 

Long sleeve or short?

Short. Only because I LOVE cardigans. I seriously am like a granny with my cardigan collection. The next one I want to get is a chunky, woollen dark green one. The fantasies guys. 

Dresses or skirts?

Dresses. I love all dresses bodycon, skater, maxi. They're just so nice. 

Stripes or plaid?

Stripes and plaid. I adore them both. I love my plaid shirt and all my stripy tops. I've also for some reason become obsessed with yellow tartan leggings. I have to get some.

Flip flops or sandals?

Sandals. Flip flops really don't agree with my toes.

Scarves or hats?

Scarves. I love blanket scarves. And snoods. But then I also really like old fashioned bowler hats. I don't know. Both

Studs or dangly earrings?

Studs. There so dainty and cute. I really want to get ones that are just a silver line. Tanya Burr wore them in some of her videos

Necklaces or bracelets?

Bracelets. They're so cute. I have trouble finding ones that fit because I have tiny wrists. 

Heels or flats?

Flats. I have no time for heels.

Cowboy boots or riding boots?

I don't really like either to be honest but I'll say riding boots.

Jacket or hoodie?

Hoodie. Comfort guys, comfort.

Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe?

Forever 21. The stuff there just seems nicer. And I've never been to Charlotte Russe

Abercrombie or Hollister?

Hollister. The only reason it's dark in there is so you can't see the prices because OH MY GOSH tha is some expensive stuff

Saks 5th or Nordstrom?

Nordstrom. Haven't been to Saks 5th. And Nordstrom just seems to have more of my kind of clothes.

Hair:

Curly or straight?

Depends on my mood. Generally I'll have it curly one week straight the next and rotate until I keep getting bored.

Bun or ponytail?

Ponytail. Because I have really long, thick hair it would never stay in a bun.

Bobby pins or butterfly clips?

Bobby pins. 

Hair spray or gel?

Hairspray. Who even uses gel?

Long or short?

This is my exact dilemma!!! I have long hair. I really wanna cut it short. I'm gonna leave it for a while because everyone will think I'm copying ZOE when I'm not. What do you think I should do? I wanna keep it long, then dip dye it and after a few months of having it dip dyed I might cut it.

Light or dark?

Dark. Simply because I have brown hair. Blondes are beautiful too though.

Side swept bangs or full bangs?

I had a full fringe but now I'm trying to grow it into a side fringe. It's taking a while.

Up or Down?

Up for school and down on the weekends.

Random:

Rain or shine?

Shine. 

Summer or winter?

Winter. I love Christmas and the whole festiveness of winter.

Fall or spring?

Autumn (fall). It's my favourite season. So beautiful.

Chocolate or vanilla?

Vanilla. I love vanilla everything. If you haven't try a chai latte with two shots of vanilla it's amazing. 

East coast or west coast?

Umm. I don't know....

Thats it!! Well done if you made it to the end. My back is dying from hunching over my iPad but oh well. 

I hope you liked it and tell me what you'd like to see next. I'm gonna go check out Pinterest

*flies off on a broomstick to Neverland*

P.s can anyone teach me how to make YouTube fan edits on vine? If so tweet me!!

Stay happy my little bees!

My Bucket List

Climb a Tree

This may come across as a bit of a weird thing to do but I've never done it before. I'm really afraid of heights, I don't even like stairs but this just seems like a fun thing to do. Even if I don't have the best hand-eye coordination...

Do a Challenge for Charity

I'd love to be involved in a challenge like they do at Children in Need someday. I like to push my self and it would also be for a great cause.

Dip Dye my Hair

I've been seriously considering this for months. If I were to do it I would probably go blonde at the end or blue (like Kylie Jenner) I also want to cut it short but my hair is so thick I don't think I could pull it off.

Learn German

I don't know why but Germany has always fascinated me. I've never been don't know any German people but it just seems so cool! I've recently been trying to find a teacher but with no luck :(

Live in a Foreign Country

It doesn't necessarily have to be foreign. Just away from where i am now. I'd love to move back to England (where I was born). Or America and Germany. I really like to travel and would love to explore the world someday.

Meet my Idol(s)

Right now they are Emma Watson and Zoe Sugg. Emma as an actress and person really inspires me to stand up for my rights and not to hold back my intelligence. Zoe struggles with confidence and anxiety, her willingness to try new things and work hard is such a good thing to try and do.

Act

My lifelong dream is to act. I love the thrill of being someone your not. I'm really not a great social character when it comes to presentations and talking but I'll just make up a character for myself and be that person. I'll say "Right, your name will be   Tiffany, your tall, you have lots of friends, blonde hair" and I'll just pretend. I'd love to be a professional actress one day. People tell me it's a childish dream just wanting fame and fortune. I do NOT want that acting in itself gives me pleasure and that is what I long for. 

So that's all my bucket list! I'm sure along the way I'll add more and possibly complete some of these. I'd love to know all about your bucket lists. 

Also please tell me what you would like to read next. I was thinking of doing a tag? I'm not sure which one though. 

Stay happy my little bees!🐝💤

Winter Staples

                                                            

Hello! This weeks been pretty hectic at school. So I've only gotten around to this blogpost now, but I'm not gonna bore you with excuses. Even though it's almost spring I'm going to show you all my winter essentials since it's still quite chilly out!

  Boots

I ADORE statement boots. These are my only pair at the minute since my others are too small for me but I hope to add some more to my collection soon. These are from Primark/Penneys. They have an insulating layer and keep my feet extra toasty. With some nice buckles and detail on the soles. Hopefully my family pick up on the hints I've been dropping and get me a pair of Doc Martins for my birthday!

  Plaid Shirts

Don't you just love a bit o' plaid. Well I do anyway. This shirt is from New Look. It's a greeny-blue colour. It's very cosy and good for layering. I can't wait to get a red one! 

 Skinny Jeans

This is my typical kind of outfit. I'm a bit on the grunge side of style in everyday wear but when I have to dress up I love to be girly. Black skinny jeans are the things I wear 90% of the time. They're slimming on the leg too! So an absolute must for me. I'd also like to mention that cute Mickey Mouse top (yes it came as pyjamas but who cares?) it's so comfy!

 

  Oversized Jumpers

I am seriously obsessed with these. I have about 5. These two ,a Batman™ jumper, Unicorn jumper and one with roses on it. H&M seriously make the best ones though. I wear them with jeans, leggings, shorts just anything really!

  

  Dark Nail Polish

I'm jumping on the band wagon here with all these dark plum colours which I just can't get enough of. This is by Rimmel London  and in the shade 600 Deliciously Dark. It's beautiful and I have been wearing it non-stop (partly because I'm too lazy to take it off!) I also love maroons and greens.

   Other 

This is quite an open category so I'll just mention the other things that I didn't want to give a full synopsis of. 

First of all leggings, I know some people hate them and some people love them. I'm a lover, they're so comfortable. I've actually been meaning to get some patterned ones I seen a cute pair in H&M with purple cats on but they had none in my size:(  

Next is my Neutrogena hand cream. I get really dry hands in winter so much so my skin actually starts to bleed buts men I put this on at night my skin is SUPER hydrated by morning. The thing with this is that it is quite thick and sticky so more of a nightime product.

Last thing is my shower gels which my friend got me in a gift set. My favourite scents are Caramel Cream Cookie Biscuits, Raspberry Frosting and Apricot Vanilla. They are so fragrant and cosy smelling and I just love them to pieces. 

     So that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed this post. Comment and tell me what your

 winter essentials are I love to hear from you.

Goals and Resolutions for 2015

Hello! I've got a quick update for you.

I'm never usually been that into making New Years Resolutions but today I'm feeling inspired. I don't know how well they'll go or if I'll stick to them but it's worth a try. Also I'll keep you posted on how they go and let me know yours.

Eat a Healthier Diet

I know what your thinking, this seems to be everyone's goal but I'm really trying to improve my diet because right now it is APPALLING! I really am not confident in the way my body looks and will try anything (that is safe) to get fitter.

Improve my Skin

This coincides with my first goal. You may think this is a bit vague so I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

Drink A HELLA LOT OF WATER.

Cut down on my chocolate/sweet intake.

Not use harsh chemicals on my skin.

Be more Sociable 

I don't know if you can tell by my way of writing but I am a very shy, awkward and self-conscious person. I have 2 best friends one lives in England the other goes to a completely different school. I have no true friends at my school. I always feel like I'm on the outside. I'm generally the joke of the conversation. I really don't know how I'll achieve this goal but I thought I'd write it anyway. 

And finally possibly one of my biggest goals...

Reach 50 Followers on My Blog

Right now I currently have a whopping 0 followers. I know 50 may not seem like a lot to those of you that have blogs with maybe 2000 followers or something of the like but to me 50's huge. It's not like I'm an attention seeker and I only want the popularity. It's the fact that I put effort into this and to be rewarded by people liking and appreciating this blog would be incredible!
