Summer Wishlist!


My summer Wishlist

So I have decided to devise a list of things that I want to do this summer, so many summers in the past I have found myself trying to think back of something that I've done ( who remembers the first day back to primary school? Having to share something good you did? ).
So despite it being a fair way into summer I'm going to create this list and hopefully, fingers crossed, I can do the majority of these things ...

1. Spend time with family - holiday, days in and days out! 
2. Go for a picnic - I think we might have one while on holiday with family and some friends have mentioned it as well, so a picnic is definitely on the cards!! :)
3. Go on a shopping trip with my sister - even if it's just into town, we haven't properly been shopping together on out own before so it will be nice!
4. Take lots of pictures - for my birthday I got a fuji film instax 8 which I adore, the pictures are so cute providing you get the right setting which it has takene a while to perfect but they are a great keepsake and make a change to be able to hold a picture than just see it on my phone or laptop!
5. Read A LOT! - I set myself a target this year as I found myself not reading much last year, so my target it 30 books and I've read 18 so far and with a huge English reading list I need to get going on more.
6. shop shop shop - need I say more?!
7. Get fit and healthy - I tried jogging but I'm not so good but a friend and I plan on joining a gym later this month!
8. Eat a lot of ice cream! This kind of contradicts this ^  but you have to have ice cream in summer! I'm loving lemon sorbet mmmmmm
9. Watch lots of films and listen to lots of music! :)
10. Change my hair!- it's just so boring at the moment but I plan on having it highlighted and it soon which I cannot wait for!!

And that's it for now! I can't wait to share more of my life with you guys! I recently reached 100 bloglovin followers which is amazing thanks so much!!

Please comment on what you want to do this summer and some more post ideas you would like to see me do!

 The Liebster Award

 
 
 
 I was recently nominated by two people for the Liebster award and i would like to say thank you to them both, they are the wonderful sara from http://www.simplysara.co.uk/  and Aino from http://www.toofabuloustofunction.blogspot.co.uk/ .

My wierdest habit is probably washing my hands a lot, i kinda have a thing about germs. :/
 

2. What is the stupidest thing you have ever cried for?

This would probably have to be silly arguements with friends when i was younger!

This is difficult! I would give some to family and friends, some to a charity and then go on a massive spending spree.
 

4. What is your favourite beauty product?

My favourite beauty product at the moment has to be my eyebrow products. Having recently having my eyebrows arched at benefit i decided to get some new products to keep them looking good- these are the Maybelline brow drama and also the pencil, both in dark blonde.
 

5. If you could travel anywhere in the entire world where would you travel?

My friend and i were actually discussing this and we really want to travel around Europe, that would be awesome!

I really struggled with this one and i'm still not certain as i have seen lots of wonderful things!

I would be one of the Kardashians because i think they are so funny so getting to spend the day with them would be amazing!

knock, knock
who's there?
doctor
doctor who?
you said it!!
 

9.  coffee or tea?

Coffee! Starbucks caramel frap!
 

10. What/ who inspires you?

I would'nt put my inspiration down to one thing or one person- i try to find inspiration from lots of different people and things - including friends, family or even scrolling through pinterest or watching youtube videos.
 

11. If you had to choose between foundation and mascara which one would you choose and why?

100% mascara- i look terrible without it!

 

Now for the questions from Sara...
 

1. Who would you say is your style icon?

I really like the style of the Youtubers Zoe Sugg and Tanya Burr- i think they are both so pretty and have great style, their videos are brilliant for beauty and clothing inspiration.  I also like to get inspiration from those around me, especially friends and even my younger sister- she has great style.
 

2.  What is your favourite place to travel/ visit?

From places i've been before i really like mallorca as it is lovely and hot and sunny, they also have amazing little markets there with such cute things!
 

3. Your top blogging tips/ makeup tips?

i haven't been blogging that long so i don't really have any of my own tips but some makeup tips i try to follow are to always moisturise before applying my make up as it keeps my skin healthy and i find it helps the makeup apply better and also keeping my makeup minimal as too much can have bad results!
 

4.  Your favourite high street foundation?

Bourjois healthy mix is so good! It has great coverage for me and the formula is just really nice plus it smells good too which is always a bonus!
 

5.  Do you have any pets?

I have two gerbils and they are called pip and pop, pip belongs to me and pop to my sister.
 

6. What is your occupation?

I currently go to school, i am going into year 12 in september and i also have a part time job. whoo go me!
 

7. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

It's wierd as i've never really given this much thought however i would like to have a job i enjoy and i'm not sure about much else!
 

8. Your favourite high street shops?

for clothing - New look, primark and H&M
for beauty- boots and superdrug
 

9.  Do most of your friends/ family know about you blog and were you embarrased to start with?

As i said before i haven't had the blog that long however some friends know and i told some family but they don't really understand it. I was slightly emabarassed at first but not so much now.
 

 10. What made you start writing?

I've always loved writing and that prbably comes from reading so much. i started following blogs properly last year when i got a Bloglovin account and liked the idea of having my own blog but it wasn't until this year when discussing it with friends that i decided to go ahead with the idea.
