30 Random Facts!

So I thought a great way to start this bog would be to tell you 30 random facts about myself to help you get to know me. Also because I like randomness! Hopefully you'll stick around for more posts :-)

I've also included some pics to break up the potential monotonousness of 30(!) random statements about myself. These pics are from the YouTube meet up I went to in Birmingham with:

Brogan (http://brogantatexo.blogspot.co.uk/)
Becca (http://lilmisstuttyfruitie.blogspot.co.uk/)
It was here, spending time with these lovely girly, that I was inspired to start my YouTube channel and now subsequently this blog. So this post is dedicated to the ladies mentioned above - thank you!
Birmingham meet up - time to shop!

      I'm really nosey too! I love seeing what people have in their makeup & hand bags as well as makeup collections & storage. I love having so many siblings :-) Where do you come in the seven children? I am no. 4 of my Dad's children, & eldest of my Mum's, which is kind of cool as I get to be both eldest & one of the youngest. My husband is also one of seven with a big age gap. He is the baby of the family. Hehe.

      I your blog is great - I love the way you lay out your photos!

      Hi!

      Thanks for the welcome & the heads up about word verification. I'm not particularly technologically minded & so didn't even know this was possible! I have turned it off as it is a pain!

      Your blue hijab is gorgeous! It really brings out the colour of your eyes & skin tone beautifully. I'd be interested in HOTD posts :-)

      Thanks! Gad you like :-)

      Congratulations on filling your MAC palette. I have never tried MAC eyeshadows but want to make a quad. Which colours would you suggest (excluding satin & velum pearl shadows as they contain wheat, which I am allergic to)?
