Hello my little muffins! I have been nominated for 2 Liebster awards in the last couple of weeks! :O So rather than do more than 1 post, I've decided to combine the 2. Hope that's okay ladies! So this will be a bit of a wordy post, read on if you're ready. 

Thank you so much to both Nicola and Nikki for acknowledging my little ramblings, I love this award it's a real boost from one blogger to another and sometimes we just need this.

The rules:

Answer your 10 questions set by your tagger
Set 10 questions for your nominees
Nominate 10 bloggers with 200 followers or less

10 facts about myself:

My Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, nothing will stop me using this bad boy.

The old toothpaste on the spots is so weird...it's never actually worked for me but I understand the concept.

Nope not at the moment. Bad beauty blogger.
