10 random facts about me:

• I recently just graduated from university and I'm now attending college to do a further diploma qualification.
• When I was 16 I turned vegetarian and when I hit 17 I became vegan till I was 20! I eat meat again now mostly for ease as I commute a lot and I am always out and about with people but when the time comes I would love to turn Vegan again!
• I have three pets, a Chihuahua and two chinchillas
• Last year I pretty much took a break from make-up. I wore a bit of foundation occasionally and mascara but that was it. Towards the end of the year I realized just how much I missed playing around with make-up and in particular wearing my eyes dark like I used to at the beginning of the year! So I began wearing it out again!
• I am obsessed with wearing boots and combat boots - I wear them with everything!
• I am also obsessed with nail polish - I have far too much of it!
• As well as beauty I am also in to gaming and reading!
• My hair is pretty much always straight - on the odd occasion I curl it!
• I am awful at applying eyeshadow but I am trying to learn!
• I'm naturally blonde, I've been dying my hair black since I was 16. So for 5 years!

Ellen's Questions

My favorite song right now is Please Don't Say You Love Me by Gabrielle Aplin. I absolutely love the lyrics. However since its been summer I have also been listening to The Beach Boys allllll the time on my Ipod!

2. Best memory of 2013 so far. 

That is a tough one! I have three main ones! Going to Wales for a weekend away, my 21st weekend and my graduation. 2013 has been a tough year but full of big events and dates!
