Spring Beauty Tag!



Last Friday I was tagged by Zoe or Beauty Pie to do the spring Beauty Tag that she created(You may remember her from my fellow blogger interview!)!!  :)  So here it goes : 


1. Do you change your makeup when spring arrives? if so, how?

I think the main thing I change is that I skip using primers a lot of the time, they make my face feel heavy (if that makes sense) because of the heat (I'm in the south lol). The other main thing that I change is transitioning from neutral matte colored eye shadows to bright and shimmery colors!

2. Whats your favorite spring fragrance?

Ive recently discovered LUSH (I know kind of late, but the closest one to me is six hours away!) and I am so obsessed with Karma

3. Whats going to be your favorite accessory this spring?

I recently went through my dresser to get rid of all the heavy winter clothes in order to replace them with shorts and tee shirts galore, and I stumbled across a pink leather bracelet I had made at a cute little shop last year with my name engraved on it! I haven't gone long without wearing it since then, and when I do forget to put it on i feel like I'm missing something.

4. Whats going to be your most worn item of clothing this spring?

Probably a pair os shorts that I bought last year at Target. They are a really faded/pastel blue with a pink floral print!

5. What are your top three favorite nail polishes?

I am actually planning a entire post for this in a few days! lol But I would have to go with essie Butler Please, essie Splash of Grendaline, and Sinful Colors Rise & Shine! 

6. Do you prefer pumps or sandals in spring?

For everyday wear I would probably go with sandals because I move around a lot and I don't want my feet to hurt all day lol, but to go out or to go to a nice restaurant for dinner I would go with pumps. 

7. Whats your favorite spring jacket?

I am currently looking for a new spring jacket because a friend borrowed mine from last year and I never got it back … so if you have any suggestions leave them in the comments please!! :)

I hope you guys enjoyed this post!!

Fellow Blogger Interview: Beauty Pie

I know I do not normally post two days in a row and I was going to wait until a little bit later in the week to put this up,  but I was just way to excited not to post this as soon as I possibly could! So I hope you like it! 

I recently decided to go out on a whim and contact one of the bloggers that I have been following over the past few months. Her blog is also one reason that I became inspired to start blogging myself! This wonderful bloggers name is Zoe Frances and her blog is called Beauty Pie, she is so sweet and genuine and I think that you should check out her blog! 



So when I contacted Zoe I asked some questions and also asked if it was okay to put them along with her responses up on here for you all to see … and she said YES! 

I won't keep you waiting any longer! Here is what I asked … I hope you all enjoy this post!



1. What made you want to start blogging? 

I literally had a spare-of-the-moment idea that I wanted to do something creative with my time and after reading a few blogs, I decided to give it a go myself! I put no pressure on myself, I just thought "well, if it doesn't work out, then at least I gave it a go". I wanted to try something new and I love writing :-)


2. Were you ever self-conscious or doubtful of your blog when you started it? 

I was always doubtful of my blog, I still am now! I think you'll always want to be better and when you read so many great blogs, you're gonna start to compare, which is bad.


3. How do you come up with post ideas, and where do you get your inspiration from for them?

I like to read beauty and fashion magazines, especially Cosmopolitan. It helps give me inspiration as I like to read the newest trends in the beauty and fashion world. They also come in handy when I do 'wishlist' posts. Reading other blogs also gives me inspiration:-)


4. How did you decide how often you would post things? 

I try and do at least two or three posts a week, as I like to keep up to date with my blog (it also shows that you're passionate with your writing). I don't have a specific schedule that I stick to, I just post when I feel like it :-)


5. What are some tips that you would give to bloggers who are just starting out, such as myself?

I've only been blogging for four months myself, so I still consider myself a bit of a 'newbie' in the blogging world! I would say to post regularly, make sure your photography is clear and interact with other bloggers through twitter - it really helps get your blog noticed!


I just want to thank Zoe again for answering my questions and letting me share with you guys!  And if you haven't already I really hope you take a look at her blog!! 
 (even though her link is in the first bit of this post, and you should have! lol ) 


Until next time
