ABCs of me!

I've seen this tag on quite a few blogs, most recently Liloo's and as she tagged all her readers, I decided to do it as well!




Age: 16. In 10 days, this shall no longer be valid.

Bed size: I have no idea of the size, I think it's a small double bed as two people can fit in it, they just can't roll around. It's very comfy though, which is the main thing I care about.

Chore you hate: Doing my room. It's a monumental task and takes ages, because I've inherited some OCD type gene from my mum and so I need to do it in an orderly fashion, bit by bit.

Day: Saturday. This means half term is nearly over *sob*

Essential start to your day: Dry-shampooing my hair. It helps give my hair life/not look so bed heady in the morning.

Favourite colour: I like all colours, but I adore pink. And my room would prove that.

Gold or Silver: Gold, it's a warm colour and I was freaking awesome at Pokemon Gold.

Height: 5 foot 6, I think. Haven't a clue if I'm honest, and I am certain the school doctor lied to me concerning my height, as I am taller than one of my friends, which wasn't the case with them.

Instruments: I play the piano.

Job title: Student, seeking a summer job (and waiting for acceptance/rejection letters)

Kids: I dislike the noisy kids you encounter everywhere (especially in Primark - WHY take your kids there?!!!), but I would like some when I'm older.

Live: An average village in Luxembourg which is close enough to civilisation.

Mum’s name: Nicola, but she is more often called Nicki, as Luxembourgers do not know that Nicola (as that is how they pronounce Nicholas) is a female name.

Nicknames: Nat, Naty, Tally, Tillymint, Natapat, Nat-pattat (very stupid nickname given by my best friend and her siblings and my brother.)

Overnight hospital stays: I don't think so

Pet peeve: So many things! A more appropriate question would be what isn't one. I'll just go for people who walk slowly.When you can't overtake.

Quote from a movie: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Right or left handed: Right.

Siblings: Two older sisters and one younger brother.

Time you wake up: On schooldays, 6am, otherwise anything ranging from 9-11.

Underwear: Various bright stuff with cartoon animals on them, very childlike, I know!

Vegetables you dislike: Too many, but mainly salad.

What makes you run late: Waiting for my best friend!

X-Rays you’ve had: Throat to check my thyroid, I think.

Yummy food you make: Schnitzel!

Zoo: The only zoo I've really gone to is the Amneville one in France.

That's all for now! Naturally, I tag all my readers as I am too lazy to do otherwise at the moment and I have a stupid project I ought to start on, sigh! But watch this space, I have something exciting I want to post about from my England trip!

My Perfect Imperfections Tag

So I saw Beauty Ambitions do this tag, so I decided to do it as well, as I think it's a really fun tag :)





The tag is to list three imperfections about yourself that make you YOU and then list three things you like about yourself. I'm just gonna go ahead and tag all of my 50 followers (thank you so much !!!!:D) because I hate limiting these things.

Things I don't like about myself
-My eyebrows. I have a thing about eyebrows, especially mine, as for years I've hated them for being too bushy and too unibrow like. If I see just the smallest hair between my eyebrows, I'll go nuts, cause I feel the shadow of the hairs growing back combined with my glasses makes it look as if I have a unibrow and I just could.not.stand.it if I had a unibrow.

-My hair on my upper lip and chin. I have PCOS which basically under other things gives me excessive male hormone, which means excessive body hair, most apparant on my chin and upper lip. I've tried bleaching and waxing strips, hair removal creams and so far the waxing strips were best, but still didn't last long. This really gets me down as I know it's apparant and a lot of people can see it and I've had comments in the past (aged 13, a boy from my class said: hey, you have a moustache! hahahaha) and my self confidence goes down by a mile every time I glance at my chin in the mirror. It also makes me self conscious for pictures as mostly I only like pictures taken at a higher angle as you can't see the hair. Added to this is my sister always saying I have perfect skin when I know I don't because this hair is in the way.

-My hair. Frizzball BIG TIME. I love my curls, I really do but I just wish I could have some nice hair without the frizz. I feel that whatever hair product I try so far, nothing makes the frizz go away, which upsets me as I'm surrounded by girls with perfect hair (straightish wavy, non frizzy and long. The Luxembourgers just have it all, don't they?). I have read that Tigi does great anti frizz products but being a student, not really in my budget.

All my imperfections are hair related, funny eh?

Things I like about myself

-My smile. ok, sometimes I have weird smiles in picture but mostly it's not bad. I loved my smile back when I was little and I think I might still have it, as the above pictures show :P But anyway I just love smiling so yeah that is one thing I do like about myself

-My hips. Wait, what?! Someone actually LIKES their hips?!!!! So I don't like my tummy, but I'm pretty content with my hips. They're a bit big but not too big and I like the way they make my body shape look :)

-My cheeks. Yeah they're chipmunk cheeks (apparantly cheekbones, yet I just see cheekbones :P) but yeah they give me the young factor as sometimes I'd just like to look my age as well instead of a little older so smiling and getting the chipmunk cheeks works :)

So I hope you all liked this, I thought it fun and hope you all do it :) If you do, do comment and tell me!xxxxxxxxx
