Bucket List

So I was asked a very good question by Megan Grundy of Baroqueetalroll, What is on my Bucket List? This is basically a list, however long or short, of the things you most want to do before you die. So this got me thinking hard. I don't quite know how many are going to be on this list, so this could be quite a long list, or a very short one. Mainly due for lack of thinking and imagination on the spot, so this may be something I come back to time to time.

But I definitely know where I want to start. I want to travel, and see all the things my mum and dad have not had the fortune of seeing. Seeing them two miss out on the beautiful sights the world has, has made me realise I need to live life to the full potential. See and hear and smell things others can't/won't ever get to.

Here are a few of the places I need to visit in my lifetime. 
The Northern Lights
The Grand Canyon,
The Great Coral Reef
Jungles and Beaches of Thailand
Route 66
Niagara Falls
Hot springs of Iceland

And here are a few of the things I want to do.
See a Broadway show in New York
Climb Kilimanjaro
Have a bonfire with guitar singing in the outback or on a beach
Meet Beyonce. (fat chance)
A safari trip
Learn a new language (preferably spanish)
Buy a few properties. 1 in London, 1 in the countryside and another somewhere abroad
Have a successful B&B by the sea/lake/river
Have a long and happy marriage with 2 children
Take a make up course and become a make up artist.

This is all I can think of for now. I'm going to come back and change this once I have given a little thought and make it into a 101 things to do before I die...

Keep an eye out for that one! Have you got a bucket list? What's on yours?? Let me know in the comments section.

Leibster Award

Having been away from Blogger for a little while, I was surprised to see a little nomination from an old friend of mine Megan, who runs her own DIY and fashion style blog, you can visit her site here

 

The rules are as follows;

• 11 things about yourself
• Answer the 11 questions set by the blogger who nominated you
• Select blogs with under 200 followers, to answer your 11 questions 
• Let your chosen bloggers know you nominated them 
• Don't forget to link your nominator in your blog post

So 11 things about me...
I am a shopaholic. I will prioritise the newest lipstick over my phone bill. Woops
I have never broke a bone in my body.
I have only ever been abroad twice.
I am a hoarder of make up.
I love apple juice too much
I have only had my nails done once, I have been massively missing out. Now addicted.
Nude lip and smokey eye is my staple look
I went to uni on a very last minute decision and was there within 2 weeks
All of my best friends live in different cities, in the north :( lonely.
I love to dance and would like to think in another life I would work in theatre and musicals
I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers?

Took me so long to think of those :/ I'm so interesting

So here are the 11 questions Megan asked me...

1. What's the story behind starting your blog? 
I really enjoyed reading other people's blogs and always wanted to put my own opinions to other make up junkies and thought what better way! Although my blog has varied blog posts, I aim to make this a more make up review/opinion based blog. 


2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Oh my days, I have no idea. Somewhere near the sea but with my family around? Even just a nice little place in Surrey... I quite like England. I'd like to live in a few different places in my time. So wherever life takes me I guess?

3. Would you rather have 2 left feet or 2 left hands?
Errr, hard question! I'd say two left feet! I need my hands to type and to eat and to write and to apply make up!!!!! But then I guess my shoes wouldn't look good with two left feet. Ahhh good question Meg!

4. Favourite make up brand?
Ooo this is a toughy! I love Nars for their foundations but you can't beat Mac for their lipsticks and overall quality of their products. Soooo, gonna go with Mac.

5. Are you a leather jacket or a denim jacket person?
I would say I am a leather jacket kind of girl. I literally wear mine the whole of the autumn/winter/spring seasons. Toughens up any girly look. I have a denim jacket but only wear it on rare occasions in the summer.

6. If you had to buy all your clothes from one store for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
I think Topshop. They have something for everyone, even little old petite me. And they have the boutique shops that sell something for everyone's style.

7. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
Hopefully still living in London, with an alright paid job in Events, nice car, on my way to paying for a house perhaps. That's the aim anyway...

8. Books or films? 
I love films but nothing quite beats a good book. Like The Hunger Games, the films good, but it misses out all of Katniss' inner thoughts on the two boys and how she makes her decisions. So for me it's going to have to be books. But I have to reeeally get into it.

9. Favourite type of blog posts?
For sure my favourite types of blogs are the make up reviews. I love hearing about new products and how they work on different peoples skin etc. I like the out of the day ones also as I like to see peoples personal style and how they pair clothes together.


10. If you was stranded on a desert island with one item, what would it be?
Mascara. If it was to be make up. Moisturising cream if it was skin care or a phone? To help me get off


11. Do you have a bucket list? If so, I'd like to see a post about it, if not, you should consider making one.
I don't, but it has definitely made me think of one and I will certainly be blogging one. Hope to see yours too Meg!

Here is my blogger of choice :)
1. Catherine What Catherine Said

My questions to you Catherine...
1. If you had a choice would you live in heels or flats for the rest of your life?
2. What is your favourite thing to blog about?
3. Working at Boots, what would you say is the best drug store brand?
4. If you could have one tattoo, what would it say and where would it be?

Body by vi

Now, I'm an absolute sucker for these miracle diet wonders and have been well and truly sucked in by the latest craze to hit the Uk, BodyByVi. I'm not really sure who Vi are, but lets roll with it.

When I purchased this I had two weeks til I hit the beaches of Zante and wanted a quick fix,  as usual I left everything, even down to my fitness, until the last minute. With two weeks to go I took to BodyByVi.

The idea is you have 2 shakes a day in replace of two normal meals.

 

My usual 'routine' would be to have 1 shake in the morning, 1 shake for lunch and a normal healthy dinner. You can mix it up and do it to suit you!

Have you tried BodyByvi? Or any other health craze? If not, which ones would you like to try?

I'll keep you up dated on how I do and if I loose anything.. Ahh

Ciao x
