3. What was the first beauty brand you ever bought anything from? I’m pretty sure this would have either been a Rimmel Nail Varnish or this baby pink tinted clear lip gloss I used all the time from the Body Shop… hmm I wonder if they still do that?!
4. What is your favourite perfume? Ooo this is tough as I love so many.  I’m going to go for the new one I got for Christmas – NR by Nina Ricki.
5. Do you have another blog/website and if so what is the link? No, not anymore.
6. What is your favourite food to make? I love baking cupcakes because there’s much variety with flavours and decorations.  I find it really relaxing to bake.
7. Do your close friends and relatives know about your blog? A few do but not all of them.  There’s no particular reason why I haven’t told people, the opportunity just hasn’t arisen to tell them.  Helloooooo Gemma if you’re reading this!! *hugs*
8. What are your favourite bands or singers? I like loads of different music and artists so I don’t have a favourite I like to listen to who is in the charts now.  I tend to like the odd songs people do rather than everything.  Some music I like is….Adele,  Example, The Script, Coldplay and Rihanna.
9. If you could travel anywhere in the world for a vacation where would you go? I’d go to Barbados.  I went a good few years ago with my parents and it was amazing!
10. What is one store or item you wish you had where you lived but don’t?
11. How do you discover new blogs to follow? I always look at comments people leave on my blog and will always check out people’s blog if they leave a link.  I really I enjoy taking the time to see what amazing blogs you guys have!
