Beauty 101 - Tag

To mix things up i thought i would do a beauty tag as i havent done a tag in a while. I found this one on google and loved the questions it included, pointless random facts. Im planning to bring my December favourites very soon so keep an eye out for that!


1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is very much straight

2. What is your natural hair colour?
Dark blonde

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
Ive only ever had highlights in my hair twice and ombred once, each time i went to the salon no way would i do it myself (even though i am qualified to do so)

4. How often do you wash your hair?
Every night. Theres this myth that washing your hair is bad for it but it is infact untrue. I backcomb my hair and use a lot of hairspray each day so i feel so mucky when i dont wash it before bed.

5. Do you wear the same hairstyle every day or change it?
I mainly wear my hair the same everyday, normally straight and my fringe clipped up. Some days il put a plait in my fringe and on days when im feeling veeeery lazy il just scoop it up into a messy bobble.

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I try to do it myself but miserably fail. No way am i paying salon prices!

7. How often to you change your nail polish?
Every week, my nail varnish constantly chips and i hate scruffy looking nails.

8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
I always have nail varnish on my toes, if not i look like i have man feet and thats not  a good look for me!

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
If im in a rush about 15-20 minutes if not normally about 30 minutes.

10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Face, its very rare i wear eye makeup except from mascara.

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
A bit of both, il go through stages where i just buy makeup for the sake of it but then other times il just top up on what im running out of. All depends on how many pennies i have.

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Almost never. I think i have worn false eyelashes about 5 times in my life and that was either for prom, a dance show or just a night out.

13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
Yes,  feel really lazy if i dont put on my makeup.

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
Yes like i said above i wear it every single day.

15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
Absolutely, it doesnt bother me if people see me without makeup, i only apply it normally everyday because i like to make the effort and myself feel alive and well.

16. How many high end products do you have?
Only a handful, mainly brushes.

17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Not as often as i should...

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
If im going somewhere important or early in the morning i will plan but normally i just roll out of bed and randomly choose clothes.

19. How often do you change your handbag?
probably every few months. Im in love with the Ted Baker shopper bags atm.

20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
Okay so im in a really bad sleeping pattern at the minute due to working hours. Lately ive been going to sleep around 2 am and getting up at 11am, thats really lazy i know but i cant help it. A few months ago i wouldnt be in bed past 9!

21. How often & when do you workout?
I used to exercise LOADS when i was at school but ive become a major couch potato. However these past few days ive done lots of exercising, like last night me and my boyfriend went for a half an hour jog. Was so rejuvenating.

22. Left-handed or Right-handed?
Right handed.

23. How tall are you?
I think about 5 foot 9 Inches. Pretty tall for a girl.

24. Do you speak a foreign language?
Nope tried learning spanish once. I can now say hello and goodbye.

25. How many pets do you have?
Just one, my beautiful doggy missy!

26. How often are you on Blogger?
I check it everyday but only post twice a week. I would love to posting everyday but due to the demands of everyday life i just dont have the time:-(

27. Do you read the comments posted blogs?
Yes.

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes i love reading other peoples reviews and testing out new products. Most of the time you find something that you would never have found on your own.

29. How did you come up with your blog name?
I have been called Misskeeleah on instagram for a while so i just kinda went with that.

30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
Im not a professional so i just my bog standard iphone camera, i still manage to get some pretty good shots, its all about the technique.

31. How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other)
My mum mainly does it (as i live with my parents) but i help out as much as i can by keeping my things tidy.

32. What is your favourite colour?
I don't exactly have a favourite colour, i like black and white when it comes to clothes, pink for my bedroom and cream for decor. 

33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?
This may sound very cliche but i love cosmopolitan and glamour.

34. Do you swear?
Not very often no and if i do its only the minor words.

35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
Well right now it is 11.30 at night so after this i will be reading my book - Girl Online On Tour, and then going to beddy byes.

Out With The Old And In With The New

Wow as if I've not wrote on my blog since last year... Cheesy joke alert! No but seriously Ive felt so lost not writing on my blog this past week, i left my laptop at my sisters and blogger doesn't work on ipads so i've been left stranded in a blogless world! Anyway I'm back..again and with great force! I'm not doing this new year new me malarkey but i am vowing to make this year the one. Ive given myself a good kick up the bum and have made, not resolutions, but goals i want to achieve by the end of this year. Yes i guess i will share them with you.

1) Be more positive - Something Ive struggled with this year is my mood. Due to certain events that's happened these past few years its become a habit of me to look at every situation in a negative way, i worry about the future and cant help but assume the worst of things. These past few weeks Ive been strict on myself and have started looking on the bright side of life. Ive learned that there are so many massive opportunities out there which I'm not going to experience by sitting at home on my bum and sulking. 

2) Stick to the things i start - Everything I've ever started in life i have quit, whether it be down to confidence, lack of time or just pure laziness (mainly the confidence issue), i have always found excuses to not stick at the things i begin. Ive had so many opportunities thrown at me in which i have just let slip out of my hands as i felt i didn't deserve them. There's so many things i wish to start this year and I'm going to make sure i give my 100% all to achieve them.

3) Plan more exciting trips - Last year i didn't plan many exciting activities. I didn't really have a holiday, i spent a weekend in a caravan at the seaside and also had two nights in Blackpool which i really did enjoy, but this year i want to do more. Me and my boyfriend are looking at going away for Christmas and I've booked a week away at butlins with the kiddiwinks (my nieces and nephew), i also want to attend things like concerts, shows, Christmas markets, parties, firework displays and all that jazz. You see life's too short and when I'm on my death bed i want to flash back at my life and see loads of memories made with my near and dear ones.

4) Save Save Save - This is one thing i need to conquer, and fast. I am absolutely rubbish at saving my money. as soon as i get paid i spend it. I can always find something to buy even when i dont need anything. My mum and dad go bonkers at me for this as I'm always complaining how skint i am just a few days after pay day. If i want the luxurious life i always dreamt of i need to be a bit more tight on the money.

5) Get my career sorted - I've always had big dreams and ambitions but have never followed them for two reasons; one I've always been told to stop aiming too high and go for more "realistic" careers and two my confidence and self esteem have held me back, I've always told myself "i don't belong here" "I'm not good enough" etc etc but wheres that going to get me? exactly, nowhere. I need to plan where i want to be and how I'm going to achieve it. Big things are going to happen and I'm going to make it happen. 

6) BLOG BLOG BLOG - Ive found my passion in 2015 which is blogging and I'm going to continue it all through 2016. I feel like i finally belong somewhere and i have already met so many lovely people through blogging. Misskeeleah has grown rapidly over the past few months and I've got many amazing opportunities ahead of me. I was a bit apprehensive when i first started this website but the support has been overwhelming that I've got no doubts about the next year. 

Ive never felt so determined to change my life for the better like i do now. Ive seen life in a different perspective, the future finally seems bright and I'm excited to see what 2016 brings me and my family. I hope you all have had a very merry Christmas and a fab new year.

BLOGMAS Day 25- Blogmas Is Over

So as you may know I decided I was going to do BLOGMAS for the whole of December but I've decided to leave it there and finish it now. Christmas has been and gone and well I'm working most days as it's been so busy at work so will not have time write on my blog everyday like I would love to! So I've decided to finish it today but will be annually posting twice a week, I'm not sure which days yet but will I announce it very soon. Tomorrow I will be doing a post showing you all what I got for Christmas 2015 as today has been so jam packed full and fun I havent had time to photograph all of my amazing presents in order to include them in a post. 

I hope you all have had or are having a very merry Christmas, I know I have. This Christmas has been the best in a while exchanging gifts, enjoying a beast of a dinner and spending the day with the ones who I adore and love. Keep safe and enjoy the holidays. Ho ho ho.
