My Bedroom

29/10/2013

 

After a number of weeks of sleeping in Robbie's room on the floor and painting my furniture and my walls, my room was finally done!

I absolutely love it, it feels more warm and mature. A real girls room. Cream and brown works so well together and I love my new room. Such an improvement from the pink walls with blue tac stains and the rough brown furniture that didn't match the next piece of furniture.

Here are pictures of my new room.

Blush or Bronzer
Bronzer - I do not have high cheekbones so I use bronzer to give some definition and the idea that I do and I often don't use blush because I already have rosy cheeks, even with foundation and all over the top so I don't really see the point in adding more red to my cheeks. 
Lip gloss or Lipstick
Lipstick - I always wear lipstick but I don't always use lip gloss. 
Eye liner or Mascara
Mascara - I wear mascara everyday but I don't wear eyeliner unless I'm going out and meeting someone and even then I don't always wear it. Also mascara can really make your eyes pop!
Foundation or Concealer
Foundation - you can just double up your foundation to work as concealer as well. 
Neutral or Colour eye shadow
Neutral - I just prefer neutral eye shadow on me.
Pressed or Loose eye shadows
Pressed - So much easier to handle in my opinion. 
Brushes or Sponges
Sponges - this was a hard one, I use brushes every day with foundation and what not but I don't always use sponges, but I chose sponges because with sponges you don't get streaks on your face the way the bristles on your brush do. I often use a sponge to smooth out my foundation further after using a brush to apply it so if I had to choose one or the other then I would go with sponges. 

OPI or China Glaze
Well, I've never used either so I'm going to say Essie
Long or Short
Short - I hate the look of really long nails but I'm fine with inbetween but I would choose short over long anyday.
Acrylic or Natural
Definitely natural - acrylic can really damage your nails so natural is the best way to go in my opinion but you still need to care for your nails. 
Brights or Darks 
This changes through the seasons, in summer and spring I prefer brights but in autumn and winter I prefer darks. 
Flower or No Flower 
No flower
Perfume or Body Splash
Perfume - I love to use perfume and I use it on a daily basis. 
Lotion or Body Butter 
Lotion - I use a lotion or moisturiser everyday after I have a shower and I don't use a body butter that often. 
Body Wash or Soap
Body Wash.
Lush or other bath company 
I quite like lush but I'm not sure what I prefer to be honest.

Jeans or Sweat Pants
Jeans - I only own one pair of sweat pants or tracksuit bottoms and I only wear them if I feel sick or I'm really lazy to put on anything else.
Long sleeve or Short
Short Sleeve - I do really love long sleeve but I always buy short sleeves and I have lots of them. 
Dresses or Skirts
Dresses!!
Stripes or Plaid 
I actually think I like strips at the moment, will probably change to plaid next week or something. 
Flip Flops or Sandals 
Sandles - I only wear flip flops to the beach plus I have bad ankles and feet so my feet just get really sore if I wear flip flops too much because they don't have any support. 
Scarves or Hats
Hats - I have one hat though but when I wear a scarf I feel like it's choking me and I feel almost claustrophobic in it and have to take it off almost immediately unless it's a really really light scarf then I'm not too bad. 
Studs or Dangly Earrings 
Studs - I don't actually have my ears pierced yet but I do prefer the look of studs. 
Necklaces or Bracelets 
Necklaces -  Bracelets annoy me most of the time and I end up taking them off but I still love the look of bracelets and I have so many of them. 
Heels or Flats
Flats - I love heels but I never have anywhere to wear them.  
Jacket or Hoodie
Hoodie - They're just so cosy, especially over sized ones.  
Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe 
Forever 21
Abercombie or Hollister
Hollister - Especially they're shops and the male shop assistants ;)

Curly or Straight
Straight - I do really like curly hair but I don't think it suits me that much. 
Bun or Ponytail
Ponytail.
Bobby pins or Butterfly clips
Bobby pins - I like to use butterfly clips too but bobby pins blend in with your hair a lot more.
Hair spray or Gel 
Hairspray for sure.
Long or Short 
Long - I looooove short hair but on me I suit long hair so much more compared to when I had short hair a number of years ago. 
Light or Dark
Dark.
Side sweep bangs or Full bangs
I prefer no bangs to be perfectly honest but if I had to choose then I'd go with side swept bangs or fringe as we British folk call them. 
Up or Down 
I'm a hair up kind of girl, I like my hair down but I prefer it up or just pinned back out of my face so I usually have an half up half down look. 
Rain or Shine
I actually prefer the rain which is very convenient to where I live. We have a lot of rain all year round. 
Summer or Winter
Summer - I don't like snow all that much, I'll go out and play in it and all but only for like twenty minutes then I'm done. 
Fall or Spring 
Spring - Spring is my favourite season, the temperature is perfect, everything is so sweet and all the flowers come out, I just love walking home from school in spring, I always take my time. 
Chocolate or Vanilla 
Chocolate, definietly chocolate. 
East coast or West coast
West coast.

13.       You’d think I’d get nightmares and all from watching so many horror films, I watch most on my own  late at night might but I don’t because I can lucid dream without having to learn how to do it, comes naturally  I guess so I can stop a nightmare or turn it into something better.

26.       I had braces for two years because my teeth were ‘severe’. They were so crooked it was unreal.

27.       I always have this idea that everything needs to be perfect before I do something or before a special day and by perfect I mean silly things like my room has to be spotless and I have to have my hair and makeup done perfectly..

39.       I hate tea, coffee, fizzy drinks and I think water is disgusting.

40.       I hate my nose.

41.       I am the weirdest person ever when I’m alone, I mean I will roll on the ground, singing at the top of my voice and just generally being weird, but if anyone knows me personally, “weird is cool”.

42.       I love ice cream so much; I would marry ice cream if I could.

43.       I really want to be a catwalk model but I’m six inches too short :’( My favourite runway show to watch is The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

44.       I have never drank, smoked, done drugged or had sex.

45.       I procrastinate so much with everything.

46.       I get so excited to go into town, not to meet people but to do my hair and makeup, I’m literally jumping around before I start to get ready.

47.       I can’t wait to get married and have kids.

48.       I LOVE to plan and get organised, I got excited to plan to move out of my house in two years time a few days ago just because a youtuber did a video about moving house.

50.       I can’t sing for the life of me, and it’s the one thing I want to be able to do so badly, I want to be a famous singer but that is never going to happen so I’ll stick to miming songs on my phone.
