Hi everyone! I recently got tagged to participate in a blog post with the above theme. Haven’t done this before so I thought, “why not?!” It will mix things up a little! I was tagged by the lovely Claire at http://msclairehana.wordpress.com/ 🙂

In unrelated news, here are some cakes I got from "Cupcake Camp", a local initiative to raise $ for charity. I'm going to decorate this post with cake pix hehe! 🙂
“The Rules
- You must post 11 things about yourself on your blog.
- You must answer the questions that the tagger has set for you as well as create a new set of eleven questions for those who you tag to answer
- Choose eleven people and link them in your tag.
- Go to their page and tell them! [In my case I’ve either told people before posting and/or tweeted them afterwards! ;)]
- No tag backs.
- Yes, you legit have to tag.”

Part 1: 11 things about me!
- When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a veternarian.
- I have a *slight* obsession with hats and love to wear them any time! Here’s a picture of myself that I took yesterday and surprise – I’ve got a hat on LOL! 🙂
- I’m left handed.
- I would love to visit Japan and enjoy listening to Japanese music (J-Pop) as well as studying the language.
- I have American relatives but their actual nationality is not American OR Australian.
- I can while away many hours online without even realising it and admit that at times it is a form of escapism for me!
- I have (successfully!) studied at university.
- I believe that I am an introvert.
- Following from #8, my Myers-Briggs profile is actually ENFP.
- I would love to get a new (second hand) car this year… However I’m finding it hard to convince myself that it truly is necessary!
- I have seen David Bowie and Bjork perform live in concert, respectively.

Part 2: Answering Claire’s Questions for Me
- You’re given a shopping spree but can only buy one type of clothing, i.e. shirts, blouses, shorts, jeans, etc., what would you buy?
I would buy coats – I adore coats and have so much other clothing that it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t buy any of those for a while! - The Mayans were right and the world is going to end. You’re allowed one toiletry. What do you grab?
Shower gel. The hugest bottle I can find! - What’s your favorite sound?
Decent music. - If you could be freakishly good at something, what would it be?
Art… or writing… Can I choose more than one?! 😉 - What type of life do you secretly envy? I.e. the party girl life, the holed-up bookworm life, the frat boy life, etc.
The successful internet entrepeneur – I’d love to be able to work from home. - What’s the longest you can go between haircuts before you’re going insane?
I’m guessing around 10 weeks. - Kill, erm… “make love to,” Marry – Adam Levine, Robert Pattinson, Zac Efron
Hmmm… Adam Levine – Marry, Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron – the first option! - Sushi or Mexican food?
Sushi all the way! But I do like Mexican food as well. - You have to take classes in one subject for the rest of your life, what subject?
Visual arts (practical). - Describe your style in three words.
Colourful. Accessories. Statement-pieces. - What’s your favorite quirk about yourself?
That I’m able to remember a lot of random facts and historical stuff about all sorts of things.

Well readers and visitors, I hope you found this post interesting. 🙂 All of the above blogs are well worth reading so if you have the time, do check out the links!
Would you like to answer any of the questions I have posed to my tag-ees? If so go for it in the Comments! 🙂
I also plan to do a post tonight on a men’s product new to the Australian market. During the week I have a Thalgo product review planned – a real gem of a product – as well as a review on my new most-favourite-in-the-world-and-a-budget-price body lotion! 🙂
Hope you are all having an awesome weekend and that you have an even better week ahead! x
What’s your #1 beauty tip? It would be to set my gel/pencil/liquid liner with black eyeshadow 🙂
Who was or were your celebrity crushes when you were a teenager? I didn’t really have any but I would say James Franco or Joseph Gordon Levitt.
What is your dream travel destination – and why? I would say America, because everything there is so inexpensive as opposed to here (in Aus) because MAC there is half the price than here!
Dogs or cats? Dog lover! – I have a dog myself!
Tea or coffee? Oooo both! Green Tea / Mocha
Chocolate or cheese? Hmmmmmmm I would lean towards cheese….
What is your favourite takeaway food? Rice Noodles with Beef & Veges 🙂
Have you ever had a hair colouring disaster? If so, what happened?! Bleached my hair and left it in for too long?!
What is your favourite book of all time? (Can be fiction or non-fiction.) Hmmmm book, not really a book lover. But I really liked reading ‘Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing’ by Judy Blume.
Have you met anyone famous? If so, who where and how? I think I have, I just don’t remember who. LOL
Why did you start blogging? As a hobby 🙂
Hi thank you wow you answered all of the Qs! 🙂 Excellent tip re setting the eyeshadow. Agreed we get ripped off big time in Australia when it comes to cosmetics as well as lots of other products! 😦
Love it! My obsession with hats is quickly growing… Especially slouchy beanies and cloche type hats. I have a short pixie cut, so it makes wearing hats very easy 🙂
P.S. LOVE that you incorporated all the cupcake pictures. Haha, I shall now head to the nearest Sprinkles cupcakes. Yumm!
Hi Claire. 🙂 Yes it’s always easier with shorter hair (hats I mean)! 🙂 I used to have a pixie cut for many years, loved it but set myself a bit of a challenge for my hair at the moment…(Currently my hair’s the longest it’s been in approx. 10 yrs!)
