I've finally had enough time to start writing this post, I have been nominated three times now so I will answer all three sets of questions then ask 10 of my own. For those of you who haven't heard of the Liebster award, if you are nominated you are answer 10 questions that were asked by your nominator then you nominate 10 blogs to answer 10 questions that you make up, however sometimes the rules change, I guess it's a bit like Chinese whispers, and one of my nominations asks me to state 11 facts about myself. The blogs you nominate must have less than 200 followers! And you must mention the blog that nominated you.
So let's get started...
Thank you to:
Emma's questions:
What's your favourite Christmas film?
It would have to be Home Alone, I remember the first time I ever saw it and it was when I was a little kid, sitting in the living room with my family. I think the film is quite funny as well!
If you could change your name to anything what would you change it to?
I love my name, apart from the fact that everyone spells it wrong unless I tell them how to spell it, Catherine, Cathryn, Kathryn, Katharine etc. So I guess I would pick a name like Grace which is actually one of my middle names.
What was your favourite song as a child?
Don't judge me but when I was younger we had a cassette of Cher's Believe and I remember singing to it and playing it on repeat. I also used to like the Spice Girls and I used to have their film.
Favourite scent at the moment?
It would have to be CK One Shock, I got a sample of it in a magazine I think, and I have now purchased a bottle purely because I like it so much.
Who is your idol?
I really admire my parents. I know that I am very like my Dad, in some ways we are too similar but I can also see certain traits in my Mum that I know have been passed down to me. My Dad studied 3 out of 4 of the same A-Levels as me and said he would've chosen the same 4th one if they offered it at his school.
Who is your Girl crush?
Selena Gomez, her hair is absolutely stunning, to be honest I think I'm just jealous of it.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now where would you be?
Back in Corfu for definite! Well as long as they don't have any rain.
What's is your favourite beauty product you continually use?
Natural Collection Pressed Powder, I have repurchased this product time and time again and I absolutely love it!
Where do you see your self in 7 years?
In 7 years I will be 26 so hopefully I will have settled down in a nice little house, possibly be married with kids, but if not then it wouldn't bother me. I would rather wait for the right man to come along than settle for someone half decent!
What's your favourite pair of shoes and why?
My black wedges, they were from Primark but they are easily the comfiest pairs of heels I have ever owned. And they go with pretty much everything.
Nicola's questions:
What was your last purchase?
My last purchase was in Superdrug and I bought the Barry M Gelly nail paint in Orange and the Barry M Nail Art Pen in black. In my freshers they had a themed night (Pangea - Cirlce of Life) so I painted my nails like this:
What's your favourite item of clothing?
It's only a recent purchase but I am in love with my pink fluffy knitted jumper from F&F at Tesco. [link] I usually wear it with either black or dark wash jeans and a long chained necklace.
What's your favourite type of chocolate?
Kinder Bueno - I could eat them all day.
Why did you start blogging?
I had read a lot of other blogs and I wanted to see if I would enjoy writing one too (which I do!) I have started a couple before but had never really researched what other people write about, I was a bit lost in the blogging world. Now I try to blog as often as I can because I know I enjoy it so much.
One thing you can't live without?
My iPod touch and wifi. At the halls I am living in, there is no wifi so I have turned my laptop into a hotspot to effectively create wifi! I listen to my iPod wherever I am so I just would not be able to live without it.
How many pillows do you sleep with?
At home I sleep with 2 and an V shaped pillow but I accidentally left it at home when I moved so I am currently sleeping with 2.
Do you have any phobias?
Being trapped, not that anyone likes it, I just have the biggest fear of waking up in a coffin and being buried underground, or being stuck in a lift for hours.
Favourite designer/brand?
Ted Baker because I love the designs of his bags.
What perfume are you currently using?
I am switching between two at the moment, CK One Shock (as mentioned before) and Vera Wang Princess
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
As this is similar to one of Emma's questions I will answer it again but I would choose America this time, probably LA!
Alicia's Questions
What's your favorite song at the moment?
Ellie Goulding - Burn
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If not Corfu or America, then I think I would like to go to Spain.
Celebrity crush?
Channing Tatum, I would happily watch Step Up and Magic Mike all day long.
Would you rather live in the country or in the city?
Is it cheating if I say in the suburbs? It's where I live at the moment and it's great, it's not so remote in the country that everyone knows everyone else's business but you get to know your neighbours, and there's enough to do without it getting too busy. Central London is only about a 30 minute train journey away so it's easy enough to pop in!
What's the first thing you notice about people?
Their hair, I think it's because I'm particularly fussy with my hair so I look at other people's.
What is your favourite dessert?
This is tough because I prefer savoury to sweet but I guess my favourite dessert is crème brulee.
What is your favourite place in the world?
I think it would have to be my bed, I love lie ins (who doesn't!) and I love how cosy and warm it is in the winter!
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In 5 years time I will be 24, I will probably still be in training to be an actuary so I will be living in a flat with some friends maybe.
If you could switch places with anyone for a day, who would it be?
My sister, I've always wondered what it would be like to be her and see me through her eyes!
If you could pick 3 words to describe yourself, what would they be?
Happy, disorganised and friendly!
What is your favourite season?
Autumn, I don't like the rain though. I just like the fact you can be cosy and I also like the shades of make up more in Autumn.
