TAG: 10 little secrets!

Hey everyone,

So I saw missbudgetbeauty do this tag and it seemed so fun to do! So, yes i'll admit I did watch a few of these but all of these answers are my own. I'd love for you guys to do this tag and send me a link in the comments!

1. What is one product that makes you feel like a million dollars?

Well, I have quite a few products but none of them really make me feel 'WOW' except for perfume. Ever since I was around 9years old i've worn perfume and have worked up from those little £10 barbie ones from duty free to my favourite right now; Vera Wang Preppy Princess.

2. What is your skincare secret?/A passed down skin care tip.

My nanna is a massive moisturiser fan! She loves it! As a 70year old woman her skin looks amazing and she has hardly any wrinkles, yes she has a few but for 70 she looks amazing! She's always taught me to apply moisturiser everyday whatever the case. My favourite is the Simple spotless skin Moisturiser.

3. Share your biggest hair care secret?

For more volume in your hair, tip your head upside down when blow drying it with a hairdryer.
^like this (no, its not me haha)

4. What is your biggest diet rule?

I am the WORST dieter ever! But one thing i've learned is that it's easier when 2 people are doing it together for moral support.

5. Any workout tips?

I have to admit I hate working out but sometimes I really do quite enjoy it when it's an activity I like to do. So, all I can say for this one is choose something you enjoy! I love going to my dance classes and Zumba!


6. Which Perfume is your secret weapon?

I can honestly say I am baffled by this question, but I think it means which perfume attracts the opposite sex the most. Call me crazy but one thing I used to heavily spray myself with before I went to talk to this one boy was the Girls Lynx. He said he loved it! So I went through about 5bottles of it haha! My trick may have never worked but at least I smelled nice?
7. Show us an item of clothing that always turns heads.

To be honest I don't really have one but, something which I get questions about from my friends is my black Lipsy skater dress. Probably because of the two side slits which show skin!
(again this is a model photo, its not me)

8. What is your most treasured piece of jewellery?

I don't really tend to splurge on pieces of jewellery I just tend to buy costume pieces. However, a while back i bought a Thomas Sabo Charm carrier pearl bracelet and wear it almost every day!

 
*the bracelet and the charm are sold seperatley but this is the charm I wear on mine.

9. Who is your style Crush?

I am in love with Lauren Conrad! Her style is quite like mine, very relaxed but she always looks stunning!


10. Tell us something we don't know about you.

Well, I don't tell you guys alot about my life but I thought i'd share with you an interesting little story about myself... 
Okay, so when I was around 3 or 4years old I loved colouring books and to draw (more like scribble) and this day my aunt had bought me a big case of felt tips! I was the happiest girl alive and couldn't wait to use them, my mum however wouldn't let me without her supervision incase I got them everywhere. Well...... My mum had left me to play with my dolls upstairs and I was kept quiet for hours, in the meantime I had gotten a black felt tip and decided to colour myself in. My mum shouted me to see if I was okay and I stood at the top of the staircase naked, having coloured stripes onto myself with a felt tip pen. 'Mum, look i'm a zebra!' Still, I am reminded of this today what a strange child I was! 

I'd love for you guys to do this tag and leave your youtube video links or blogpost links below!
Thanks for reading
