Beauty Blogger Award Tag

Hello Again,

I love reading tag posts but I haven't done a lot myself so when the lovely Jenny and Jess tagged me in this Beauty Blogger Award Tag I wanted to answers the 10 questions right away! As both jenny and Jess have tagged me in this, I will answer both sets of questions, so let's get to it!



First up are the 10 questions asked by Jenny:

1. Where in the world are you? I am in my home in Aberdeen, Scotland .
2. What do you like most about blogging? I really enjoy the creative side of it, I've never really had an outlet so I enjoy writing about what I want to. My blog is like my online Diary! 
3. Who inspires you? My Parents, for different reason. My Mum because she never stops. Whatever life throws at her she just get's on and deals with it. My Dad because of his strength, he's never given up. My Parent's are the only people I can truly rely on (other than Sam obviously).
4. What is your number one pet hate? People who TUT! There's just no need!
5. Lipstick or gloss? Lipstick, I don't like the stickiness of gloss.
6. What are your current fave pieces in your wardrobe? My Green jumper from H&M and my new tan suede bag from Next.
7. Do you prefer cool or warm toned shadows? Warm!
8. What motivates you? Sam and our Daughter! They're the reason I get up each day.
9. What is your go to skincare brand? I don't actually have on, is that bad?!
10. Favourite drugstore and fave high end product? My fave drugstore product is Maybelline's lash sensational mascara and my fave high end product is my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!

Now my Questions from Jess:

1. Are you a city or a country girl? Definitely a country girl! I love the fresh air!
2. If you had to choose, eyeliner or lipstick? This one is easy, eyeliner! 
3. What is your favourite pizza topping? I really don't like cheese so on my ideal pizza I'd have, BBQ Sauce, Chicken and bacon!
4. TV series or a film? Oh this is a tricky one!! I'd say TV series because I like to binge watch something.
5. Which do you prefer, vlog or blog? Blog! Hands down! I did try YouTube for a while but I just lost all confidence with it. I might pick it up again on the way though.
6. What is your favourite item in your make up bag? Just now it's my MAC Face and body foundation.
7. Yankee Candle or Lush? LUSH! I can't really be that trusted with candles (I once melted the side of my TV with one).
8. What do you do when you need cheering up? I have a hug from Sam or April but if they're not around then I'll just have some chocolate!
9. Coffee or Tea? I'm not a big fan of either but I'd say Tea.
10. What is your ideal date night, takeaway and a film or dinner and cocktails? Takeaway and a film, that way you can just chill in your comfy's and relax.

I now get to nominate 10 bloggers to answers my 10 questions:

2. The last thing that made you laugh so hard your sides hurt?
3. MAC or Urban Decay?
4. Do you prefer drugstore makeup or high end makeup?
5. Why do you blog?
6. What is your fave kind of food?
7. Do you prefer flats or heels?
8. If you could only one which would you choose, Lashes or Eyebrows?
9. Instagram or Twitter?
10. If you could tell you 16 year old self one thing, what would it be?

Cue Aberdeen | Review

Hello Again!

This Sunday past I attended a Blogger Exclusive event at the new restaurant in Aberdeen, Cue Barbecue. I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised at my experience, so much so that this post is going to be all about it! Before I delve into all the amazing interiors and fantastic food I will give you a little bit about how Cue came about. 


'It all started over a plate of food on a road trip south of the border.'

'Meat juice dribbling down chins, ordering more than we could eat, we needed this mouth-watering taste and the smell of wood smoke in our lives. Our mission; bring the dedication of the pit master to you with soul, and explore the diverse culture of barbecue in the southern US and Latin American styles. Watering mouth and you know you have ordered more than you can eat, you relive the mantra: Rub me, Smoke me, Sauce me, Eat me.'

My Favourite Posts by some great Bloggers | Bit of a Schedule Change

Do you know what really get’s my goat? Myself! In the little ‘about me’ part on the right side of my blog I have said that I post on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays but you know what? I’ve been slacking! So I am making a vow right here, right now to whoever is reading this (Hi mum) I am taking that back. I am going to post when I can and when I want to. I don’t have a never ending bank balance that let’s me buy all the new makeup and the entire H&M Home ware range. I wish I did, but I don’t. Recently I’ve been feeling very pressurised (by myself might I add) to churn out a post just because Tuesday is the next day and that’s been taking away the fun of my blog. To me, I enjoy it when I have a good post out even if I only get 30 views or whatever (the views don’t bother me at all, of course I get excited when a post has over a certain amount but show me a blogger who doesn’t). 

This is one of the very lovely stock photos from ashleyelladesign.com as it's pitch black right now and I have no stock photos of my own.

The point I’m trying to come out with is I’m only going to be posting when I feel genuinely happy when doing so. If there’s not a post on a Thursday but there is on a Friday that’s fine with me, continuity isn’t everything in life, that’s just the way it is! 

So blah blah blah, after that rant, I have decided dedicate this post to a few of the great posts I've read recently and honestly, I have been so impressed with the content! So here are a few bloggers and their post's that I've been so impressed by:

Vix Meldrew - this girl doesn't take any shit and doesn't care about writing post's that may push the boundaries and I love her for that! I am such a fan of lists and if you are like me then you should definitely check her out! Her most recent post made me actually almost choke on a minstrel in the middle of my office, it's all about her do's and don'ts about sexting!! 
http://www.vixmeldrew.com/vixmeldrew/2016/2/15/musings-the-art-of-sexting

Lady Writes - I have been speaking to Chloe from Lady Writes for a while now and I commend her so much as she is a very hectic lady but is also a single mum! I don't know what that feels like, but it's hard for me and I have Sam by my side! I always find myself going over to her blog every few days to catch up and one of my favourite posts of hers is all about living in Modern Day Motherhood. Why do I like it so much? Because she tells the truth! 

JuicyyyJess - I bloody love this girl and I haven't actually spoken that much to her (I swear I'm not a stalker) but I will admit I did attempt to make her rainbow cupcakes but failed miserably and they were not fit for human consumption. Jess's recipe was spot on - it just so happens that I can't bake for shit! Anyway, I am a massive fan of PLL and I loved Jess's Most Loved PLL Moments post (Hannah dancing just makes me so happy).
