The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag



I'm currently stuck in bed with the worst cold ever (no exaggeration!) and my brain just isn't working properly to be able to put together a decent blog post. With that in mind I thought it might be fun to do The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag which I saw on Chloe's Way seeing as it doesn't take too much thinking to do and tags are always fun to read so I hope you enjoy! 

1. Name a beauty regime that you rarely do.
I hardly ever exfoliate, I really should because I end up with horrible chicken skin sometimes but honestly I just can't be bothered with it. It seems like such a faff when really I just want to be in and out of the shower in a couple of minutes so I can get on with other things. 

2. Is washing your make up brushes something you do regularly?
To be honest, not really. I use my fingers to apply my foundation/concealer so there's no brushes to wash there. As for my other brushes I definitely don't wash them as often as I should, It's purely just down to me being lazy but if I remember then I will.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?
Not very long, I pretty much always have my nails looking nice to the point where people will notice if they are chipped or not painted. I really enjoy doing my nails or any one else's for that matter cause I just find it really relaxing.

4.How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it?
(i.e. purchasing a new top coat or a new foundation etc.)
I like to keep up with what's running out in my make up bag so I tend to get ahead of myself and buy something new before the last product has even run out. It's not exactly economical and I usually end up with loads of half empty products but I don't like to think about what would happen if I ran out of foundation or mascara! 

5. What is your worst beauty habit?
My worst beauty habit would probably be not keeping my eyebrows in shape as much as I should. I use the excuse that I have a fringe so no one ever really sees them but they are pretty thick and grow so quickly. I tend to just leave them until they get really bad and then I'll pluck/wax them. Attractive huh? I've got this new wax pen now though which is really easy to use so there's no excuses now.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time.
It has to be doing my laundry, I'm so bad at keeping up with washing my clothes that I'll end up with no clean clothes left before I will put a wash in. It's not like it's even a difficult thing to do and I know I would be so much happier if I did my laundry more often because I'd have way more clothes to choose from but I just can't be bothered. 

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready until the last minute or not?
No never, I have to be organised with plenty of time other wise I just get really stressed and end up not even wanting to go out. I don't like to be rushed either so I have to give myself plenty of time, probably cause I really enjoy putting my make up on, doing my hair and choosing an outfit so I like to have time to do it. 

8. Can you commit to spending bans?
I think so, I'm quite frugal when it comes to spending and I'll go through phases when I just don't buy anything. To be honest I don't really have much money anyway at the moment so I'm pretty much on a constant spending ban!    

9. How organised is your make up and nail polish collection?
It should be really organised but it isn't. The products I don't use everyday are tidied away in all the storage I should really make more use of where as the products I use every day are currently sat on my window sill where I do my make up every day. Y'know, I've realised from this tag that I'm really quite lazy! As for nail polish, it gets shared round between my Mum, my Sister and I so there's no guessing where all the nail polishes are in our house!

10. What is the longest amount of time you have gone without writing a blog post?
I think the longest I've gone is a week without writing a post but I could be wrong. I'm pretty good at keeping up with posts, even on holiday I blogged every couple of days because I really enjoy doing it. I post at least twice a week but I'd really like to do it more often.

25 Facts About Me

 
Seeing as I'm new at blogging I thought it might be nice for you all to get to know a little more about me. I don't know about you but I love reading these kinds of posts on other people blogs so here's 25 facts about me.

1. I've just turned twenty and it's pretty darn cool being a part of the grown up club.
2. I have an sister who is three years older than me. She is my best friend and general adviser on life.
3. I'm currently learning to drive, I've put it off for ages but I'm determined to have passed my test by the end of this year.

4. I'm definitely a pet person, I have a Dalmatian called Freddie and a cat called Archie and I love them to bits.
5. I'm half Scottish and half English/Kiwi. My mum is Scottish and my dad is English although he was born in New Zealand.   

6. I can do a mean Scottish accent and I especially love imitating my Mum. Och aye the noo!

7. I find it really difficult talking to new people and I worry I come across as rude but I'm just really shy.

8. Before the age of one I had lived in 4 different places. My Dad left the Navy when I was born so my parents moved around a lot until they found a place to settle.
9. My favourite fashion era is the 1950s, I really admire how much effort men and women put in to their appearance.

10. I've got three tentacle shaped scars on my arm from when I was stung by a jellyfish about 5 years ago on holiday. 

11. I'm at my most productive in the middle of the night which is when most of the writing on my blog happens.

12. I absolutely hate the heat. Don't get me wrong I love sunshine as much as the next person but heat/humidity gives me headaches and itchy heat rash so I get very grumpy.
13. A lot of my family lives half way across the world in Australia and New Zealand and I'm hoping one day I'll be able to go out and visit them.

14. I'm 5 foot 5 and have always wished I was taller. I've no idea why, I guess we always want what we can't have.

15. I have an addiction to Pickled Onion Monster Munch but I don't recommend eating them in public unless you have tic tacs at hand.

16. I don't have a middle name and other than my sister I've never met anyone else who doesn't have one.

17. I had violin lessons from the age of 7 but stopped when I was 14. If I were to pick up a violin now I think it would take me a while to remember how to play.

18. I had a complete obsession with the spice girls when I was younger and Spice World The Movie is still one of my favourite films.

19. I'm really claustrophobic and I'm currently trying to overcome my fear of lifts (elevators). I'd much rather take the stairs, even if it means trekking up ten flights! 

20. I walk really fast and am forever waiting for people to catch up with me.

21. I'm a huge animal lover and I hope that one day I will have a job that involves animals.
   
22. I absolutely love baking. For my sister's 21st birthday party I made 60 cupcakes, it took me 2 days but I loved every minute of it.

23. My favourite lesson at school was history and I really regret not taking it at GCSE.

24. I've never been drunk, I just don't like the taste of alcohol. However I'm always one of the first people up on the dance floor.

25. If I didn't pluck my eyebrows I would have a full on unibrow (Ha just thought I would throw that one in there, I'm proud of my bushy brows!)  



I hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me!
