little old me

Saw this tag over at Click Your Heels and thought the questions she came up with were good enough to steal;)

1. What diary are you using in 2012?
I am a compulsive note-taker, and so hardly leave the house without my diary. This year I picked up a slim dark brown week to a page diary from Typo for a measly $5 AUD.

2. Have you travelled overseas before? Where?
I was lucky enough to be taken along on my parents' travels over the years, so I've been to Scotland, England, France, Bali and Thailand. I'd love to go to France again, and I'm heading to Thailand in a few weeks!

3. What is your family heritage?
Both of my parents are Scottish, but my siblings and I were all born here in Australia.

4. What is your favourite place to eat out?
I have a few favourite restaurants I like to eat at, Chris and I eat at Indian restaurants quite a bit as it is my favourite cuisine. We also like Mozzkito in Clifton Hill (Melbourne) for their huge servings and consistently tasty meals.

5. What handbag are you currently using?
I've been using a large grey tote from Sportsgirl, but since I spilt my lemon lime and bitters slurpee in it I've moved on to a small black cross body bag. I have a new piece from Foley & Corinna on the way, and to say I'm excited is an understatement! 

6. What is your favourite alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink?
Apple Cider, and soda water.

7. What type of exercise or hobby do you do?
Not much, if anything I walk but am not one for team sports or early morning gym sessions.

8. What is you favourite lipstick or lip gloss?
MAC Viva Glam Cyndi is my all time favourite lipstick, I was so sad when it was discontinued.

9. What is the most daring thing you have ever done?
I am terrified of pretty much everything- flying, boats, fire, heights, crowds etc. The two most daring things I've ever done would be climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and snorkelling in the middle of the ocean last time we were in Thailand.

Madame Bovary, the blogs namesake

10. How long have you been a blogger? What made you start?
I began blogging in November 2010, because I wasn't writing enough in my literature course (ha!) and wanted to delve into the beauty world I was peering into via everyone elses blogs. Best decision ever.

11. Are you a MAC or a PC person?
 PC, Chris bought me an Asus laptop for uni (read:blog) at Christmas and I'm in love with it!


I'd love to hear more about YOU! So feel free to do this tag or leave some responses to the questions below, I'd love to get to know my beautiful readers!

About Me & Wellbeing Wednesday

The beautiful Megan from Beauty in the Sky and the amazing Priyanka from twinxNtrax forwarded this blog award to me, in which I have to share seven things about myself that you might not know! Thanks to the lovely ladies for thinking of me, I've made so many new friends from this whole blogging shenanigan and these two were among my favourite new friends I met during the Australia Beauty Bloggers Weekend!
The rules are to;
1. Thank the person who awarded it to you and give a link back to their blog.
2. Write 7 random facts about yourself
3. Then spread the love and award to 7 other bloggers.

1. I am a scaredy cat of the highest order. Flying sends me into tears, rollercoasters are out of the question and boat rides make me rock back and forth like a baby.
2. I am only 20 years old, but I feel and act a lot older. My parents go out more than I do!
3. My parents are Scottish and I've travelled there with them a few times when I was younger. I haven't been back for quite a while though, and I miss my family over there!
4.Despite loving beauty and everything related to it with a passion, I can never nail a 'perfect' look when I go out formally. I am terrible at smoky eyes and wish I could learn how to do them.
5. I crave savoury foods every time I drink a coffee, so rather than having 'coffee and cake' it's more likely I'll want a handful of rice crackers with my flat white.
6.Nail polish hardly lasts more than a day on my fingers:(
7. I asked my best friend Candice to come up with most of these because I couldn't think of anything!

I'd like to tag these ladies to share some random facts on their blogs!
Beautifully Glossy
Haute and Stylish
Ms Sparkle Arkle
Beauty by An Indian

Don't They Know Who I Am?
Making Up For My Age

I began taking part in Wellbeing Wednesday after reading Jess' post over at the belle lumiere Everyone involved attempts a group challenge as well as one we create ourselves, and puts $5 away if the goals are achieved by the end of the week. Next Wednesday, you will find out if I was successful in these goals!
