Quick Monday Tag

Hello my lovelies!

Hope you're having a fab day! I thought I'd do a quick tag from Karen's Beauty Blog to get me back into the swing of blogging again. I can't produce any exciting posts at the moment as I am desperately seeking my camera charger. I hope I didn't leave it in my hotel in Italy :/

1. Mood:
Happy/busy.

2. Do you read or study with the TV or music playing in the background?
Yes I don't like complete silence.

3. Do you wear glasses?
Yes! I am very shortsighted and although I mainly wear contacts I occasionally sport some funky turquoise and lime green DandGs!

4. Outfit:
Comfy tracksuit.

5. Cold weather — love it or hate it?
I think I was born into the wrong climate.

6. Eyes/Lips/Cheeks:
Body Shop number 16/ MAC Syrup lustre/ Clinque almost bronzer 01 light/medium and Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Baked Mineral Blush 03 Peach.

7. What was the last nice thing to happen to you?
A big cuddle from my fiancee.

8. Something you’d like to remind yourself of today:
“Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” (Matt. 7: 7)

9. Guys who carry man purses — yes or no?
Definitely yes! There is nothing more annoying than, "Can you carry my keys, wallet etc etc?". Plus, I think man bags are hot!

10. Weekly goals: Do my reading for my marketing course and go to the gym or go running three times.

Please feel free to do this tag!
