Hello beautiful bloggers!

I've had a bit of a whirlwind two months and haven't had chance to blog properly. I have some great beauty posts coming up very soon, I just need to photograph a few products etc. Meanwhile I thought it would be a nice idea to let you know what I've been up to and what's going on in my life at the moment and let you know what non-beauty things I've been enjoying this month.

Even though January was supposed to be the most depressing month of the year, it was suprisingly good for me. My friend at work managed to get tickets to watch Celebrity Big Brother's Live Eviction and you could briefly see me and the girls from work on TV! I spoke to Made in Chelsea's Ollie Locke's sister and Lee Ryan from Blue's mum. Even though it was absolutely tipping down I had such a good evening and it was one of my favourite days in January.

As some of you may know my sister was expecting a baby girl in February and on the 10th of February at 11.01am, my gorgeous niece Eliza was born weighing 7lb 13oz. Both baby and mother are doing really well, and I'm so happy to have another little niece! Some more fantastic news is that my other sister is having a baby in May AND my brother and girlfriend are expecting in July! So I will have four nieces/nephews by the end of the year!

I would also like to wish Isabelle a happy 4th birthday as it was her birthday on February the 15th! Being the amazing Auntie I am, I volunteered to make her birthday cake this year and the theme was the film Tangled. I would like to mention I am no professional baker and I've never made a cake before so I was really happy with how it turned out!

Hard work!

20 Things About Me

Mood: Ecstatic 

Listening to: Bastille- Pompeii

Hello my beautiful bloggers!

I've decided that I'm going to write twenty facts about myself so you can get to know me a little better. Hope you all enjoy and feel free to ask me questions in the comments.

1. I once made up an entire Christmas song called 'I love Christmas'. I can still remember the lyrics.

2. I can't remember a time when I wasn't obsessed with beauty items and make-up. I love everything about it.

3. I hate horror films, even the adverts scare me and give me nightmares. I would much prefer to watch a Rom-Com or an action film. 

4. I have naturally very wavy/curly hair. 

5. I went through the 'Emo' phase when I was 14/15. Not my greatest look.

6. My favourite Disney film is The Aristocats and my favourite Disney Princess is Aurora (Sleeping Beauty).

7. I have certain films I have to watch at Christmas time, they include Bridget Jones' Diary, The Holiday, Elf and Home Alone.

8. Tomato ketchup is the worst thing ever, I feel sick looking at the bottle.

9. The last people I saw in concert were Rihanna and David Guetta.

10. I've been blonde all my life until I decided to dye it brown in February. I've not dyed it since but the brown has now faded to a golden blonde.

11. Wrists and veins make me feel nauseous.

12. I'm a very family oriented person and I get on with my parents really well.

13. Peonies are my favourite flowers.

14. I still find The Vicar of Dibley incredibly funny, I would recommend you watch it if you haven't seen it.

15. I once went to an Atomic Kitten CD signing and accidentally ran out the one picture you were allowed to have. I got really upset and the girls (Atomic Kitten) told me to come and have another one, even though the bodyguard wasn't happy about it.

16. When I was younger my friends and I used to play Titanic. I would run my bath and we used to re-enact the part where the ship was sinking. My mother used to tell me off for wasting water...oops.

17. My cat is called Biggles. Originally her name was Mr. Bigglesworth (like the cat in Austin Powers) but then we found out she was a girl...so Biggles it was.

18. I can speak English and Welsh fluently. I went to a Welsh school where all of the subjects were taught through Welsh (apart from English).

19. I prefer to eat desserts, soups, yoghurt, ice-cream etc. with a teaspoon. I have no idea why, but I hate using a dessert spoon.

20. Krakow, Poland was one of the best places I've ever visited. It was so beautiful in the snow. I want to go back there one day.

So there we are, I hope you know me a little better now. Feel free to let me know if you've done something similar. I'll be more than happy to read it.

Love from Bethan
