The Face Behind the Blog Tag

You've all been waiting for this. I'm doing something totally unpredictable. A tag post. I know, I know, you're shocked right now. Staring at the screen, mouth opened, adjusting your (imaginary) glasses and reading this title again. Is it possible you're about to read a post about me? Yes, people, it's true. I'm going to introduce myself a bit more through 5 simple questions.

Hailey knows me well so I need to thank her for this tag. If you don't know who she is, I highly suggest visiting her blog The Undateable Girl's Diary which I regularly read because she has great topics and I really like her writing style, simple and interesting... Anyways, let's jump into this one.

Would You Rather…? (fashion edition)

 ** On a personal note this week: My honest opinion on my job (after 2 years)

OK, what is a better way to come back than with a good old fashioned Q&A? I love them cause they're fun to read and easy to write. I also love to talk about myself (not in real life though...). Anyhow, I saw this post over at Hailey's blog (The Undateable Girl's Diary) and she took it from 3YellowDaisies so read their posts too (after you read mine, of course). As Hailey said, the only rules are that you have to actually make a decision, and “I don’t know” is not an acceptable answer.

There are only 10 questions, but I hope you'll like my answers and, hopefully, you'll think about these and answer them yourself. Let's start.

Let’s Vogue - 73 Questions About Me

** On a personal note this week: These things were cool when I went to school

To be honest, I'm still not sure how much of these personal or random posts I want to put in here... After all, that's why I have a personal blog I share weekly along these posts (yes, that's the link in the beginning of each post here). Anyhow, I saw these posts all around (and I know I'm few months late with these) so I decided to tag along and nominate myself to do this.

You all must know how much I love polls and all these question-answer posts so I couldn't pass on this opportunity. I don't know who started this, how it works or anything basically, but I saw it on the blog of Ronald Sampson (blog On the Ron). I also have to add how supportive he is and active on Twitter so check him out.

The sunshine blogger award | tag 3

I've said many times, I'll say it again - I love tag posts. I love polls, answering questions and this new trend of Instagram stories templates. When I was a kid every person had to have a notebook with questions that required short answers and we would give them to each other to answer questions and pass on to another friend. It was kinda a privilege to get someones notebook, so I was always happy to get one.

I have a feeling I get nominated in all sorts of tag posts in nice intervals of time. I'm not boring you with these, but also get to write them quite often to satisfy my wishes. I wrote my last The sunshine blogger award | tag 2 in January (also, you can find all award posts here and all tag posts here).

The sunshine blogger award | tag 2

I already did this tag just few months ago (in October to be exact), but I can't resist a tag post so I'm doing it again. You can read my previous post here The sunshine blogger award | tag.

Today I'm answering some questions a lovely Annie B. asked. Thank you Annie for tagging me! You can read her post and her answers in her post The Sunshine Blogger Award.

As much as I'd love to do Q&A posts every once in a while, I don't get that many questions, so I'll consider this as my personal Q&A. Cause it actually is. Let's start!

Blogmas 2017: The Mystery Blogger Award

Blogmas 6: Jingle bell rock

I've said this before, I'll say it again - I love tags. However, I'm doing my first Blogmas ever and I did not expect to do random tags. And I already did one which I created and you can read Christmas tag if you're interested. Reading these new questions, I saw there are some Christmas related and also, the title is 'The Mystery Blogger' which I casually translated as 'The Secret Santa' (it's the same, right?).

Blogmas 2017: Christmas tag

Blogmas 1: It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We'll start this Blogmas with getting to know each other's favorite stuff and Christmas traditions. I already said I love tags. I love reading them and answering them. But if I want a new one, I'll just make one up. And here I am.

I'm sure there's a bunch of Christmas tags out there, but I didn't search for any nor did I read any in near past so these are all just random questions that popped to my head.

The sunshine blogger award | tag

Every now and then I get tagged in some post and I love those. I love answering these questions and I love reading them as I find out something new about a person every single time. This time Katie from Beauty from Katie tagged me in The sunshine blogger award tag and I'm here to answer her questions. Thank you Katie!

This is a lot like the Infinity Dream Awards post I did more than a year ago. Keep tagging me in these, please! Haha. I rarely share something personal here, so I think these posts are a great break from beauty related posts.

Rules: thank the person who nominated you, answer the questions they tagged you to do and nominate more people for the award!

Tag: The fall favorites

I don't know if you're familiar with the fact that I dislike fall, but I've been tagged to do this and I just love tags so I can't say no to dear Millie from Modish Rambling (her tag post is here).

Reasons why I don't really like fall is rain when I have to leave my apartment for something obligatory (I don't mind meeting my friends or going shopping, I mind going to college or work...) and because it's usually so cold in the morning and evening, but actually warm in the mid-day. But I do think fall is most fashionable and most interesting when concentrating on fashion.

Note: I did some categories Millie did, but I added some of my own. I wanted to have 10.

I do not own any of the photos. Collage is made and decorated by me.

The Liebster Award

Hello :)

It's Liebster Award time again. In short, I got nominated and I have to answer few questions I've been asked and continue this chain.

There are also few rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you & link back to their blog.
2. Answer the 11 questions you have been asked. 
3. Nominate 11 bloggers for the award. 
4. Ask them 11 questions of your own.

Why 11??

So, I'd like to thank Jemma from The Sweetpea Life for nominating me. It means so much that you read this and actually like it enough to even consider me! Thank you!!

Here are the questions Jemma asked me:

(Before you start: Of course, when I'm put on the spot, I can't remember anything, so go easy on me.)

1. What is your favorite thing about blogging? - Oh wow. I love that I can write whatever I want. I also like to think I'm kinda helping people with my reviews and fashion outfits or nail designs. I love love love taking pictures and quickly editing them. I also love the fact I haven't seen one bad comment. Bloggers I'm in touch with are so nice and kind people! Thanks!
2. What is your favorite movie & why? - As most people, I can't name one. I love Honey, Titanic, most of Nicholas Sparks movies (The Longest Ride, Safe Haven, The Lucky One, The Last Song, A Walk to Remember,...), Fast and Furious franchise,... I basically like (love) all romantic movies, romantic dramas and comedies. I also love action movies (Jean Claude Van Damme is my favorite). There's really a long long list.
3. If you could choose a country to live in for the rest of your life, which country would it be & why? - I would like to live right where I am, in Croatia. I really hope I'll never leave my country. I love it that much (although we're really a mess). But if I had to move, I would choose USA - New York or Portugal. New York is my dream city to visit.
4. Dog or Cat? - That's the easiest question ever! Dog! Not that I don't like cats, but, hey, dogs are awesome!
5. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 3 things (can be anything you like!) what 3 things would you have & why? - I'll take it that there's no signal or electricity there so mobile phone or laptop are out of the question. Also, I'll leave out the survival kit - lighter, knife and so on... I would take one of my plush toys (I don't want to be alone), sunscreen (I burn immediately), hair band or something (I hate having hair in my face).
6. What has been your most recent purchase? - I got a red blazer, a white T-shirt, a turquoise scarf and a blue bracelet. But it was all bought by my aunt. The last thing I bought was a leather jacket for my mom. The last thing I got for myself was a medium size turquoise bag.
7. What are your other passions in life, aside from blogging? - Airplanes! Bikes! Animals! And a lot of stuff, but if we're talking about hobbies, I would say nail manicures. As you can see on my blog, I love nails and decorating them.
8. Chocolate or chips? - Chocolate!
9. If you could host a dinner party with 4 people of your choosing, who would you invite & why? - Obviously my friends because I feel most comfortable with them. But, just for the fun, I'll choose some other. David Beckham - I've always thought he's more than just a hot football player. Cristiano Ronaldo - I'm a big fan of his (yep). Emma Stone - I love her acting and I think she's really cool person. Jimmy Fallon - he's my favorite host (with Ellen ofc). Also, Elvis Presley, Lady Diana, Paul Walker and Whitney Houston, but yeah... There are also a lot more people on this list (Rihanna, Kevin Costner,...)...
10. Tell me one interesting fact about yourself. - I love all diary products (yogurt, cheese, chocolate milk, cocoa,...), but I hate milk by itself. I really don't like the taste of pure milk.
11. What one thing makes you the most happy? - People I love and me succeeding. There's no greater moment than when you see people around you happy and the pride you feel. I also love being proud of myself. (I'm not egomaniac or anything, but I do love to feel good, you know?)

So, that's that. Now I'll make a list of 11 nominees and questions they have to answer.

Nominees (link on the name is Twitter; link on the name of the blog is blog obviously):

1. Kathryn from Life + Love
2. Kiara King from Lion in the wild
3. Tina from Tea is for Tina
4. Millie from Modish rambling
5. Lauren King from Minnie Mouse Chic
6. Annie from Perception
7. Shelby Amess from Shelby Marie
8. Chloe from Snug corner
9. Kimberly Marquis form The chic confidential
10. Tamzin fom Through new eyes
11. Amy Ellen Sutcliffe from Amy - Ellen's Musings

(There are more blogs I love or like but they either already have the Liebster Award post and nomination or have lots and lots of followers.)

Questions:

1. Why and when did you started blogging?
2. Have you met any friends through blogging (and I do mean friends, not just Internet buddies)?
3. How would you describe yourself in 3-5 words (no more!)?
4. What's your favorite social network and why?
5. Do you find yourself wanting more followers and readers to the point where you actually calculate posting and advertising or even feeling bad about small numbers?
6. If you could go to a concert of any singer or group (dead or alive, together or parted), which would it be?
7. What do you love buying (e.g. bags, shoes, kitchen supplies,...anything)?
8. Would you say you like the way you are, like you're a complete person? If not, why not?
9. What's your little secret your close ones don't know about? If you're willing to share.
10. What do you do when you're stressed?
11. This last one is just for me: have you ever read my blog and what do you think of it? Honest answers, please!

And I'm done. Hopefully, you all liked this :)

Continue the chain of good thoughts and support :* :*

Would you rather? quiz

Here's something different from me. I saw this at Shelby Marie's blog. I had so much fun reading it, so I decided to do the same thing. So here I go...

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eye-liners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye-shadows? ~ I would rather lose my eye-shadows as I don't use them at all; maybe once or twice a year. And I use lip products on daily basis; eye-liner every now and then.
2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again? ~ Definitely to never be able to cut it again. I would like to try short haircut, but long hair is my style.
3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek? ~ Coral. I think it would go better with my skin tone.
4. If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or make-up? ~ Although make-up is my big love, clothes are a bit higher on my list. So, definitely clothes.
5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eye-liner, or eye-liner as lipstick? ~ I would use eye-liner as my lipstick because that sounds more normal and eye-liners can be easily used on the lips.
6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora? ~ I know nothing about Sephora and I do own MAC products so I would choose MAC. I love the brand!
7. Would you rather only use one eye shadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life? ~ As I said, I don't use eye-shadows as much so I could live with just one color. For the lips, however, I like wearing all different kinds of colors and that's pretty important for my look.
8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter? ~ Summer clothes in winter. I can't explain, but I think this would be more me.
9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round? ~ Tough one. But if I really have to choose, darker colors would win.
10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product? ~ I rarely put anything on my eyes, so I would give up eye products.
11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun? ~ I don't like either that much, but I would choose a bun since my head hurts less than when I'm wearing a ponytail.
12. Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss? ~ I don't need to use anything as long as I have my nails done. Take my lip glosses.
13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday? ~ I have no idea. Haha. I would look so weird without eyebrows, but sharpie them everyday... I would probably shave them off.
14. Would you rather live without make-up or nail polish? ~ As stated in question number 12, I'm a huge nail fan so make-up would have to go if I had to choose.
