Get To Know Me TAG and Q&A | Life, Blogging and Beauty!

I thought today I would allow you to get to know me a little bit better as although I blog on a weekly and sometimes more often basis. I feel there is little you know about me personally. I love getting to know the person behind the blog so I thought i'd let you guys learn a little more about me. First I shall be doing the Get To Know Me TAG and then will be answering a few questions asked over on Instagram- if you didn't know i'm @xtracesofmythoughts over on there. Would love to see you there!

This is going to be a long one, brownie points if you've got this far! Now for the questions asked on Instagram! Thank you to those of you who asked, i'll leave their @s below so go check them out too!

The Q&A

@geraldines_wonderful_world - If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

As I mentioned in the TAG, i'd love to live elsewhere for a period of my life- possibly America or Spain!

@secretlymegan - What's your favourite thing about blogging?

Definitely the people you meet through blogging, I have some lovely readers who have brilliant blogs- I may do a post of my favourite in the future!

@heyitisjess - If you could swap nationalities- what nationality would you be and why?

This is a hard one! My nan was German so maybe German, I also have Scottish family and I love the Glaswegian accent- I think Scottish! 

@glittermelody - What do you look for in mascaras?

I have pretty long lashes anyway, I love to enhance them though so definitely lengthening to create fluttery lashes- the Roller Lash by Benefit is great for creating that look!

What makes you happy?

Spending time with my family and friends, especially when the sun is out!

Who are your favourite bloggers and why?

Ooh, I did mention about possibly doing a post on them. A quick few are you, Jess from Hey It Is Jess and Nicole from Thrifty Vintage Fashion. I love reading beauty blogs but it's also nice when they throw something else into the mix to change it up a little!

@thriftyvintagefashion - What do you think makes a blog stand out from the crowd?

That's a tough one, I think one that really injects the bloggers personality - as there are so many new bloggers out there, it's hard to be unique and stand out but I really like the personality within the blogs I read on a regular basis.

One piece of advice you'd give to someone starting college?

This is something I've also been thinking about doing a post on. I'd definitely say hang in there, if at first you don't like it/it's not what you expected- give it a chance- you'll have a different perspective once you've really given it a chance. Also do your work as soon as you get it, don't let it pile up to the last minute which is what I did in first year- not the brightest of ideas!

Thank you girls for asking me questions!

I'm aware this post was pretty long but I hope you got to know a little more about me. I'm not going to TAG anyone in particular to do this post as I wasn't tagged myself so do it if you please. I'd love to hear if you've done it, so let me know in the comments!

I'm currently in South Devon on holiday but I have another post scheduled which is due to go up on Wednesday. I'll also be showing you what I got up to on my travels next Sunday hopefully so keep your eyes peeled!
