Hi guys, how are you doing?
You may, like me, have seen the Beauty and Brains tag going around recently and I thought I would have a go myself.. hope you enjoy!
What is your favourite book?
I love reading and I would say my favourite book is probably The Reading Group by Elizabeth Noble, just because I keep going back to it and it never gets old! I also really like books by Stephen King and Ben Elton.
What is your favourite quotation?
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” A very wise and inspiring quote from from Winston Churchill, which I feel is very relevent to my life right now.
English or Maths?
I'm not particularly talented at either of these subjects, and I havn't studied them since I did my GCSEs, but I would have to say that I prefer English. I think I would probably be better at English Literature than Language because I read all the time but i'm not so good at the whole spelling/grammar thing... Maths, however, I cannot stand. I wasn't awful at it at school, but I always hated the lessons and to this day I havn't needed to use half of the stuff we learned.
Science or Art?
Science, definitely! I suppose I need to say that as I am studying Chemistry and Biology at A Level, but it's true! I've always been interested in the human aspect of biology and i'm hoping to study a variation of that at university.
Name five music artists/albums that have changed your life
This is a dificult one because, to be honest, I can't say that any artist or album has actually changed my life or affected me in a big way. Artists I like though are Maroon 5, Panic! At The Disco, Eminem and Colbie Caillat (an odd mix, I know).
What were your favourite and least favourite school subjects?
My favourite subject was definitely Biology, closely followed by French. My least favourite subject was probably Maths or Geography.
Who is your favourite 'Celebrity with a Brain?'
Hmm, it's hard to choose. I'm a big fan of Eddie Izzard and David Mitchell... I also like people like Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie..
If you could study anything, anywhere, what would it be?
I don't know! I change my mind all the time, but right now I think I would like to study a biology based course in France or maybe America. I also think it would be really fun to do a make up course somewhere too...
Who is your favourite guru you admire for more than their love of beauty/fashion?
I think this would have to be Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter, she has such a lovely outlook on life and seems like a genuinely nice person!
If your blog didn't focus on beauty, what would it be?
Umm, I can't think of another subject i'd want to write about all the time. I suppose I would probably just do day to day life posts and just talk about things that interest me (I guess then it would turn into a beauty blog by itself!)
There! My first tag finished! Now I tag you all to do it too...
Thank you so much for reading, sorry it was a little (completely) light on pictures, but i'll make up for it in the next post!
