My Life In Letters: Part 1!

Hey!

As you can probably tell from my recent blog posts my life has been pretty busy recently (you can read about the chaos that is my life here). Also from my recent blog posts, you can probably tell that I have kind of gone of make-up recently. Now, don't get me wrong it is not that I don't love it anymore, it's just that I don't have time for it right now. 

As I have lost my spark for make-up, I am going to do another 'lifestyle' post today. As this is my 'My Life In Letters' post, I am basically going to go through the alphabet and name some thing that is in my life/important to me that starts with that letter. So, lets get crack-a-lacking.

My Life In Letters!

A- America.

One of my biggest life goals/dreams is to move and live in the USA. 

B- Blue.

Tiffany Blue is my favourite colour.

C- Coffee.

One of my biggest dislikes is coffee.

D- Dancing

I love to dance.

E- England.

I was born and raised in England. I have lived in the same town in the north-west of England my whole life.

F- Feet.

I believe everyone had that one body part that freaks them out and, for me, that body part is feet.

G- Grease.

This was the first musical I ever watched. It is and always will be one of my favourite movies of all time.

H- Helvellyn.

In my school we have 'house' systems. Kinda like in Harry Potter with Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, except ours are not as cool as theirs and each house is named after a famous mountain in the Lake District. I am in Helvellyn which basically just means I wear a blue stripped tie and support Helvellyn teams in events and competition.

I- Insects.

I refuse to put a picture for this one because just looking at a picture of them makes me cringe. Basically, I really really dislike insects.

J- Jessica.

Although I refer to myself as Jess, my actual name is Jessica. Jessica is a Hebrew name and means 'God Beholds'. A fun fact for you here: my mum was going to call me Alice but decided not to after being told that, in our family, the name Alice is cursed with bad luck.

K- Kors, Michael Kors.

Something that has been on my 'wish list' for a while now is a Rose Gold Watch from Michael Kors. One day, I will own one.

L- Lip Products.

Lip products are, by far, my favourite make-up item. Just under half of my make-up collection is lip products and, although I have loads of them, if I buy a make-up item, I tend to buy a lip product.

M- Music.

I am a music person. Music is a big part of my life and it speaks to me. Over the years, I have had lessons to learn loads of different instruments and have been in a few of musicals. If I am not listening to music, I am singing.

I have split this up into 2 parts as it is a pretty long post all together. I will put part 2 up in the near (ish) future so keep your eyes peeled for that.

R.I.P Talia Joy Castellano, Just Keep Swimming Beautiful!

Hey!

On Tuesday the 16th of July 2013, the world lost an amazing, inspiring and talented young girl.

 Talia Joy Castellano (taliajoy18 on YouTube) sadly lost her six year long battle with cancer on Tuesday. I was a lover of her channel and I felt like I had to do some kind of post to honor her. She inspired me so much, had make-up skills that I can only dream of having and touched so many peoples lives. She was taken away far to soon but, in the short time she graced this world, she did so much. A beautiful tribute song has been put up in her honor that I am sure you would all like to check out so I will link it here.

R.I.P Talia.

The 'Beauty VS Brains' Tag!

Hey!

So, I know I have not blogged for like a week and a half. School is getting on top of me and, at the moment, that is my main priority. Alas though, not all is lost, as I break up for summer on Friday and, as my summer job hunt is failing completely, I will probably be spending a lot of time on here.

Anyway, as I still have a mountain of coursework on my bed that needs finishing for tomorrow, I thought I would do a tag. I stumbled across the 'Beauty VS Brains' tag last night and thought it would be perfect for my next blog post, so here it is.

The 'Beauty VS Brains' Tag!

1. What Is Your Favourite Book?

I have 2 favourite books: 'He Is Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccilo' and the 'Hush Hush Saga by Becca Fitzpatrick'.

2. Favourite Quotations?

I have 2 favourite quotations: 

- 'I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you will eventually learn to trust no one but yourself and, sometimes, good things fall apart so better things can fall together' by Marilyn Monroe.

- 'A girl should be two things; classy and fabulous' by Coco Chanel

3. English or Maths?

English.

4. Science or Art?

Art.

(I have skipped question 5 as I could not think of an answer but the question was: 'Name 5 albums or artists that have changed your life?')

6. What Is/Was Your Favourite And Least Favourite Subject In School?

My favourite subject is a toss up between: English, History and Catering. My least favourite subject is probably maths, although I am really good at maths.

7. Favourite 'Celebrity With A Brain'?

I am a big fan of Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson. I think they are both really down to earth and genuine people. This makes them have a brain in my book as they don't follow every other celebrity and they don't let fame go to there head like some celebrity's do.

8. If you could study anything anywhere, what would you study and where would you study it?

I would pick to study musical theatre and I would study it in Chicago because my favourite musical is 'Chicago'.

9. What is your 'nerdy little secret'?

My nerdy little secret is that I am a massive book worm. I love to read and I spend a lot of time doing it.

10. Favourite beauty 'guru' that you admire for more than just there love of beauty and fashion?

I admire Lauren Conrad and Gok Wan for there business skills. Although they started in the beauty and fashion industries, they have both made a name for themselves and now have lines of clothing, accessories, glasses and books.

11. If Your Blog Wasn't Focused On Beauty, What Would It Be Focused On?

I would probably have focused it on motivation, advice, crime or cooking.

12. Name Some Things Your Obsessed With That Some People Would Find 'Geeky' or 'Strange'?

I have an obsession with Twilight Fanfiction, Space and Astronomy. 

13. Name 5 People (Including Friends And Family) Who Inspire You?

My younger brother Harry inspires me as he won his battle with Cancer. Coco Chanel inspires me because she believed in class and style which are things I try to have in my life. Nick Vujicic inspires me because, although he has no limbs, he teaches people how to be happy and how to love themselves. The Suffragettes inspire me because they dedicated there lives to getting rights for women and, without those rights, I would not be in education and I would not have the right to work or vote. Adele inspires me because she does not let people's comments about her weight put her down and she makes the world see that there is more to a person then just there physical appearance.

(I missed out question 14 as-well because I don't believe I have an intellectual soul mate. Question 14: Who Is Your Intellectual Soul Mate?)

Who inspires you?
