Blog Awards :)

Abby over at A Pilot in Pearls awarded me the Stylish Blogger Award! Thank you, thank you! I recently found her blog and it is so fun! Be sure to stop by and say hello.

The rules for this award are as follows:
*Link back & thank the person who gave you the award
*Share 7 things about yourself
*Award 5 recently discovered blogs
*Contact them and tell them about their award!

Seven things about me (these get harder and harder, I feel like I've shared a lot over the course of this blog!)

1. I loooove staying up late. I just can't help it, I get this weird burst of energy when midnight rolls around and can tackle anything. Normally this is when I clean the house, wash the dishes, write really long papers, and the like. On the flipside, I am NOT a morning person. I don't really like to talk when I wake up haha. I need to film my old roommate impersonating me in the morning, it's quite hilarious. I moan and groan... you get the picture.

2. I am obsessed with warm weather and dresses so this summer's bright color trend is super appealing to me, I can't resist the spending urge everywhere I go! I've put myself on a shopping ban until the end of Lent, but I did pick up this tunic today (whoops) which I love love LOVE! I can't wait to pair this with some fun chunky wedges and huge sunglasses. I just can't turn down a dress with sleeves. (Yes, taking pictures of yourself in the mirror is weird, but I was shopping by myself and needed a little help from my twitter girlfriends! Those are some fashionable ladies, ha!)

3. Speaking of sunglasses... my face is super small and I have a terrible time finding sunglasses! They either make me look like a bug or hang off the sides of my face. Sadly not even RayBans work. My dad gave my his original Wayfarers from the 70s (?) but they just don't fit. Boo hoo! Does anyone else with this problem have any suggestions for a brand or style that works for them?

4. Formal is coming up this weekend and my spring break tan is fading quickly. Thank goodness for Jergen's Natural Glow!! I decided to try out the foam formula instead of the lotion and let me tell you, I'm sold. No more stinky smell and waiting to dry. I definitely recommend it!

5. You may remember I was supposed to go to Formal in December but it got canceled due to snow at the last minute. It stunk at the time, but my sisters decided since we were already dressed up, we might as well have a good time even if our bus couldn't get up the mountain. So in hindsight it's a great thing, we get two formals! However the brocade in my dress makes a little too wintery for late March so I decided to give Rent the Runway a shot. I've heard great things about it and am anxious to give it a try! I'll let you know what I think.

6. My best friend and I got floor seats to see Taylor Swift! Woohoo! We went two summers ago and it was a night to remember. You better believe I was squealing just as loud as the 10 year olds but who cares? I had a blast and can't wait to do it again. I met Kellie Pickler last time and got her autograph too! It was awesome to meet her where it all began (the same place she auditioned for American Idol)... crazy how far she's come.

7. I don't really care for anything at McDonald's, but their $1 hot fudge sundaes rock my world. Not kidding you, I get one 2-3 times a week. When your guilty pleasure is that cheap it's hard to turn down!


I am passing this award onto the following 5 fabulous recently discovered blogs:
Seersuckered Sailor
Sundresses and Smiles
Simply Southern
Cape Cod Collegiate
Laughter Keeps Us Young

Have a blessed day, y'all!

My First 2 Blog Awards.. EVER!

Last night was pretty eventful in my little blog world, as I got first two blog awards in one evening!

The "Rules":
1. Thank and link back to who gave you the award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Pass it along to 7 blogs you've recently discovered and enjoy
4. Leave your recipient a note, telling them about the award.

The rules are the same for each blog award, so I will just have one..


"7 Things About Myself"
Hm, my name tag's upside down..
(No I don't usually wear name tags out LOL this was from one of my society's taster socials..
Had to properly educate the Freshers on a night out! :P)



1) I'm a Third Culture kid, which basically means I've grown up moving all over the world, attending international schools. I grew up in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Venezuela, the Philippines, Japan, and now the UK :)

2) I love to sing and write songs. I learnt the piano when I was 7, the guitar when I was 13, and to use synthesizers when I was 15, and I've taken singing classes in pop, classical and jazz. Result? Check it out here :)

3) I'm a bit strange in that I hate rom-coms.. except Love Actually & The Bridge Jones films. Otherwise, I don't watch a film unless it has some sort of an explosion, guns or a car chase. My favourite movies? Snatch, Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels, Lucky Number Slevin, Red, you get the idea.

4) I'm in my last year at uni studying Sociology, and hoping to go on to postgraduate studies this fall. I haven't heard back from anywhere yet though.. ergh.

5) My favourite animals are pigs. They are pink, they snort and have swirly tails - what's not to love? And, they taste amazing.

6) I have an amazing other half, his name is Ben, and he is just lovely! (Even if he watches Glee.)

7) I'm probably one of the tallest Asian girls I know.. I'm 5'7.

The Versatile Blogger Award!

I'll start off with the award I got first, from the lovely Communicating Beauty! Thank you so much for this award, and it'll obviously mean a lot to me as the first award everrrr :)

10 Questions:

1. Why did you create this blog?
I'd been making YouTube videos since May, and at the time, it had appealed more to me than blogs. Getting bored of the abundance of horrible quality videos, realising I really only liked a few YouTubers, and my lack of time as a final year student made me decide to venture blogside. It is a much nicer environment than YouTube. I think I've had more fun and success with my blog in the past 2 months than I've ever had with YouTube! :)

2. What kind of blog do you follow?
Beauty blogs, and most of the time I look for UK ones, just because it's so much easier to relate to the writers and get stuff that they show you :)

3. Favorite Makeup Brand
MAC. This might be biased, as I am just coming down from a MAC hype lol.

4. Favorite Clothing Brand
H&M hands down :)

5. Your Indispensable Makeup Product
Foundation!

6. Your Favorite Color
Purple & pink, but this doesn't really apply to clothing or make-up.. LOL, am I the only one like that? I just like 'stuff' that are purple & pink.. (I say that, my shirt up there is purple.. lol life).

7. Your Favourite Perfume
Envy Me by Gucci at the moment. But some other favourites are Inspire by Christina Aguilera and Romance by Ralph Lauren.

8. Your Favorite Film
Named a few up there :)

9. What country would you like to visit and why?
Australia. Mainly because it's the only continent I've never been to besides Antarctica, but also because of all the crazy different animals, and I love scuba diving so the Great Barrier Reef would be AMAZING!

10. Are you a Cat or Dog person?
Dog :) I've mentally adopted Ben's Westies.

Anyway, I hope you take the time through click through some of these lovely ladies as they are all excellent!

Have a great day everyone :)
