Get To Know Me!

I saw these questions on Emily's blog (Beauty Broadcast) and thought it would be a great way for you all to get to know me a little more! :)

 

 

 

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight? Straight, but I have noticed that there is a wave to it now

2. What is your natural hair color? Red

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon? I’ve never dyed my hair. I am au natural 

4. How often do you wash your hair? I have to wash it every day or it’ll get oily. I’ve tried dry shampoos, but none of them seem to work for me.

5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?

I am a vet tech, so I almost always have it up due to bodily fluids potentially getting in it lol. But on the weekends I like to have down.

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon? Years ago, I would always get my nails done (acrylic). After about a week, I would get bored and the take them off, which is a huge waste of money! So now I do them on my own.

7. How often to you change your nail polish? Probably every 4 to 5 days.

8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer? Yes. Naked toes don’t look good on me lol

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup? Usually it takes me 15 to 20 minutes. Sometimes, if I’m extremely tired before work, it can take me 10.  

10. What do you do first? Face or eyes? Both at the same time lol. I’ll put BB cream/ foundation first, then go to my eyes, then back to the face for finishing powder and blush, THEN mascara lol.

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it? If something catches my eye and intrigues me (which actually happens a lot), I’ll buy it. So I'm more of a collector lol.

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes? Never. I used to wear them for dance recitals, but now there is really no point.

13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day? Most of the time I do. Unless I’m tired (#9). Then it’s BB cream, paint pot, finishing powder and mascara.

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)? If there isn’t really anything special going on or not going out later, then no.

15. Will you leave the house without makeup? Yes and I have many times. Not ashamed lol

16. How many high end products do you have? I am a bonafide Urban Decay eye shadow user. LOVE THEM! I have all 3 Naked palettes, the first basics and a lot of singles lol. I also have NARS, MAC, Benefit and other random brands.

*I am not a high end snob whatsoever. I have a lot of drugstore as well :)

17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes? At least once/week.

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed? I kind of decide as I’m going lol. Sometimes it’s planned.

19. How often do you change your handbag? Oh Lord. Besides makeup, handbags are my kryptonite. I have SO many, it’s ridiculous. I used to change them every 2 to 3 months (sooner if I found a new one), but I’m in love with the one I’m currently using, so it’ll be a while before I change it again.

20. What time do you get up & go to sleep? I get up depending on my work schedule, but it’s between 5:30a-6:30a. Going to bed is harder though because my lucky duck of a bf gets to sleep in, so I’ll stay up with him so we can have some time together  until 2a-ish. Most times I fall asleep while we watch a movie/tv show, but then wake up again.

21. How often & when do you workout? Well….I’m walking and lifting heavy dogs while at work if that counts lol. I don’t work out. It actually bores me. That’s one of the reasons why I loved dancing in high school/studio because it’s so much fun and it’s an amazing workout!

22. Left-handed or Right-handed? Mainly right, but I can do certain things with my left.

23. How tall are you? 5’2”

24. Do you speak a foreign language? No. I have always wanted to learn Icelandic though, since I had a grandmother from Reykjavik, but sadly I never got the chance to meet her.

25. How many pets do you have? I have one 8 month old kitten living with me, Blynken. At my parents, I have an almost 2 year old German Shepherd, Willow and two 2 year old ginger kitties, Whiskey and Weasley.

26. How often are you on Blogger? I’ve been to a lot of blogs that are on blogger, at least 4 to 5 times a wk. I check mine at least once a day.

27. Do you read the comments posted on blogs? I do actually and everyone seems really nice! Hopefully I will get that as well :)

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts? Yes. I do that with YouTube videos also.

29. How did you come up with your blog name? I came up with about 5 or 6 years ago maybe? I don’t  really know how, but I do remember I wanted something unique, and about beauty. My blog’s website name had “beautyblog” added to it due to Sarah Palin having some political blog or website with that name.

30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs? I’ve been using my iPhone 5s. Fancy Pants lol

31. How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other) There’s at least one thing to clean daily.

32. What is your favorite color? Turquoise is, by far, my favorite.  I also like pretty much all shades of blue. But really, I like all colors. I’m a really colorful person (I just turned 28 last month and I still LOVE Lisa Frank lol).

33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine? People’s Style Watch

34. Do you swear? Too much. It’s awful.

35. What are you doing with the rest of your day? Painting my nails and reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows :)
