"These are a few of my favorite things" | Favorites Tag

Hello lovely reader! As mentioned in previous "Tag Posts" I really do enjoy these questionnaire-esque journeys. As you can see from the title, this tag is all about favorites. This post could have involved me sitting around with seven children during a thunderstorm, but unfortunately I am not Julie Andrews. (heres the link if you now have the need to listen to that song or if you have no clue what I am referring to) So as Maria says, "These are a few of my favorite things!"

Favorite pet I ever had: Rosie, she's a Cairn Terrier (picture Toto from the Wizard of Oz, but a cream color)
Favorite car I’ve owned: Jeep 
Favorite meal out, ever: Now this needs to be more specific, are we talking fine dining or burgers and fries. I once was in Chicago and went to a place called "Harry Caray's" where I had the best burger in the entire world! I also really liked a line of restaurants in West Palm Beach called Carmine's, the food is insanely good.
Favorite food I’ve cooked: I once made a Meatball-Tortellini soup that I was quite proud of because to me it required "legitimate cooking", I made the meatballs, chopped the parsley, and diced some vegetables. It tasted great and was a complete success. 
Favorite food from childhood: My mom tells me that when I was younger I used to eat hot dogs a lot which probably explains why I'm not the biggest fan of them now. Chicken fingers were also a favorite.
Favorite movie of all time: Now this is not possible, I had a question like this in the last tag that I did. I have many but today let's go with the ever quotable "Mean Girls".
Favorite book of all time: Again a ridiculous question because I have so many. I adore "Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit" and I really love "The Fault In Our Stars". But then I like "#GIRLBOSS" too, so it's impossible to choose one.
Favorite item category to go shopping for with a girlfriend: clothes or makeup
Favorite day out – what, where, with whom: Going to Chicago once with my Mom was fun, we explored the city went shopping and ate at a cute little diner.
Favorite color: pastels (yes I'm aware that's a shade not a color), light pink or purple
Favorite artist: if we're talking singers, not possible to choose and if we're talking art artists than maybe Andy Warhol, if I'm honest I don't know much about artists but I did a report on Mr. Warhol once and really liked some of his pieces, he was also cool, so there's that.
Favorite song: Nope can't pick, my "let's get pumped up" or "get in a good mood" song at the moment is "Rather Be"
Favorite paid entertainment: Bruno Mars concert, nuff said
Favorite hobby activity that makes me get lost for hours: Blogging!
Favorite skill (past or current): my ability to visualize things, I'm also pretty good at golf, I can read people pretty well too (whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on the situation)
Favorite advice I’ve ever been given: "Successful people do the things that unsuccessful people don't" -My Dad
Favorite advice I’ve ever given: Be yourself, trust yourself, and do what makes you happy
Favorite year of the best birthday I ever had… and why: Let's see, my 8th birthday was pretty good, my friends and I went to this place where we got to dress up and had our hair and makeup done, we thought we were "the stuff" 
Favorite natural wonder I’ve ever seen: The ocean, its pretty amazing to just look at and reflect on
Favorite close call I’ve ever had: Can't really say I've had too many "close calls", sorry I'm not that rock & roll, yet 
My favorite flower – purchased: a set of roses that were the most beautiful shade or mute purple/pink I've ever seen
My favorite flower or plant – personally grown: I can't remember what they were called but they were purple and kind of fuzzy, I'm not much of a gardener
My favorite hair day ever? One year for prom I had my hair curled and I still look back at the pictures and wonder if I'll ever be able to master the flawlessness that my hair had that day
The most favorite gift I’ve ever gotten – what and from whom? A children's Juicy Couture purse, my parents gave it to me when I was like 13 and that was when I was starting to become more heavily interested in fashion, I thought it was the nicest thing ever and was so excited!
Favorite outdoor smell: flowers
Favorite Saturday night ever? This isn't specific because it has happened many times, but watching movies, playing Just Dance and singing random songs with friends is always a good time
My favorite non-relative adult growing up: Audrey Hepburn everyone else I looked up to weren't adults
Favorite TV rerun I could watch 50 times? Music specials on artists that I like
Favorite item no one knows I own? This blog?
Favorite competent activity I do? For the most part, artistic or diy projects, sketching too, and baking
Favorite food item I can never run out of? Cheese or eggs, mainly basic stuff because it's necessary to make most dishes! I also always like to have some type of treat for the times when the sweet tooth strikes!
The favorite picture I’ve ever taken? I like the pictures that I've taken when I'm on trips. I'm quite pleased with the ones in my photo diary that I shared with you last month. I also like the less "professional" ones too though that are on my Camera Roll on my phone just because they're full of memories.
Favorite secret I still safeguard? (don’t reveal it!) Well then what is the point of this question?

That was a lot more intense than I thought it would be! I hope you enjoyed it and if you give this tag a go feel free to leave a link in the comments! Xx

14 RANDOM QUESTION TAG: GET TO KNOW ME!

Hey lovely reader! As you can see today's post is a fun tag, full of random questions. I originally saw the tag on Queen of Jet Lags so be sure to check hers out too! 

1. If you could change your name to anything, what would it be and why?


This is an interesting question. I can honestly say I'm quite happy with my name. Fun Fact: I was almost named Nicole. My two favorite names though are Audrey and Eleanor. 


2. If you could go back in time and give your younger self advice, what would it be and why?


That things will work out and to trust your gut. Also don't be afraid to be yourself. Basically everything mentioned in "Little Me", those lyrics are perfect for a question like this. 

3. What did you want to be when you were little?


An actress, a singer, a model, a fashion designer...many things!

4. What do you order at Starbucks?


Nothing...gasp...sorry I'm not obsessed with Starbucks. I do like their hot chocolate during the wintertime, other than that I just drink water.

5. What’s the hardest you ever laughed?


This question definitely causes reminiscing. Two of my best friends always make me laugh, but the things we laugh about probably wouldn't sound funny to anyone else and some of the stories aren't things they'd want me sharing on the internet I'm sure:) My dad is also good for a laugh. 

6. If you could play any instrument, which would it be and why?


Guitar! I used to play the flute but I love the acoustic guitar. I think it can show so many different feelings based on how it's played, whether it's a soft tune or a fast strum. I also wish I could play because then you could take it with you anywhere and just chill and have a little sing-song. 

7. What’s your favorite thing to do when your upset?


Listen to music or watch some of my favorited videos on Youtube. 

8. What’s your favorite movie?


Depends on the genre. My favorite classic would have to be "Funny Face" starring Audrey Hepburn. I love the Harry Potter series too. Great Gatsby is probably the best movie I've seen lately. I also love concert DVDs. 

9. What’s one food you can not live without?


Ok this one is hard because I am a foodie for sure. If we're being general maybe cheese because it's in a lot of my favorite dishes. 

10. What’s your favorite dessert?


Triple Chocolate cake made by my mom! Chocolate cake with chocolate chips in it and chocolate frosting, it melts in your mouth!

11. Favorite pizza topping?


Wow tough question! I love many types of pizzas, margarita, deluxe, sicilian, mediterranean, the list goes on. So for today let's say, sun dried tomatoes. 

12. Would you rather have the superpower to read minds, or the superpower to be invisible?


As much as I'd want to know what people are thinking it's probably better for everyone to not. So let's go with being invisible. 

13. What did you do for your last birthday?


I had lunch and went shopping with my bestie. 

14. If you had one personal “selfish” wish, what would it be and why?


To be extremely successful and as cheesy as it sounds, live the life I dream about.

Would You Rather | Beauty Tag




1. Would you rather be able to apply eyeliner perfectly or be able to contour like Kim Kardashian?

This one is soo tough, eyeliner is everything but so is contouring!! I guess I'd have to go with contour like Kim K.


2. Would you rather wear foundation which is two shades lighter or two shades darker?
Definitely lighter, I'm not the tannest person to begin with so I wouldn't mind being light. Also, bronzer and blush can add color, no orange fake tan like looks for me thanks!


3. Would you rather wear no lipstick ever again or no eyeliner ever again?
Lipstick for sure! I need my eyeliner.


4. Would you rather give up your foundation or your mascara?

Hmmm probably foundation, I'd probably regret it on spotty days but I love me some full lashes!


5. Would you rather apply your makeup yourself with no mirror whilst on a bumpy car journey or ask a 5 year old child to do it?
Can the 5 year old child be a makeup artist prodigy? Let's go with the five year old, maybe then you can guarantee some smooth lines.


6. Would you rather wear exactly the same makeup every single day for the rest of your life or drastically change your makeup every single day for the rest of your life (even if it doesn’t suit you!)?
Ok so this is going to make me sound boring but I think I'd have to choose wearing the exact same makeup every single day for the rest of my life. I would want to have to wear makeup that doesn't suit me.


7. Would you rather have dodgy brows or have patchy fake tan? 
DODGY BROWS!! Fake tans are not for me, nor will they ever be, never have had a fake tan and I can almost guarantee that I never will. (Obviously Cara does not have dodgy brows, I just didn't like any of the pictures I could find)


8. Would you rather have perfectly white teeth or have your perfect hairstyle?
This one is interesting. I care about dental hygiene and having nice teeth so I'm going to have to go with perfectly white teeth. And let's be honest, having a perfect hair day can be hard to come by so if I can live through it now, I'd survive. Maybe my perfect teeth would distract from less than perfect hair.


9. Would you rather wear the same colour nail varnish for the rest of your life or be able to change the colours of your varnish whenever you like but it’s always a little bit smudged?
Well, seeing as smudged nail polish is a pet peeve of mine, I have to choose wearing the same color for the rest of my life.


10. Would you rather have lots of scented body and perfume products that smell amazing to you but to everyone else you smell like pine tree car air freshener or have products that smell average to you but smell incredible to those around you?
This question cracks me up. I'll go with smelling average to myself but amazing to those around me. 

I hope you enjoyed this fun post! If  copy the questions and give it a go yourself! If you do, leave a link in the comments! I'd love to read it! Xx
