The Beauty Blogger 'Get To Know Me' Tag!


1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
VERY curly! Frizzy infact!

2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
Dye it myself with Garnier Olia - it's fab!

3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?
I do it pretty similar everyday but sometimes I chop and change.

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I go every two weeks to get my nails done, but I do my toes myself :-)

5. How often do you change your nail polish?
2 weeks (I wear gel/Calgel).

6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?
I get a bit lazy with them in the Winter and tend to just have a clear polish on them as no one ever see's them but in Summer I do try to always have them painted.

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?
If I'm going 'out out' then I can take up to 45 minutes, but everyday maybe 25-35 minutes. It depends on what make-up I'm doing.

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Face if I'm not wearing eyeshadow, and eyes first if I'm wearing eyeshadow.

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
Collector! A hardcore one *hides face*

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Hardly ever, I can't apply them to save my life!

11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?
No, I'd say I average on 4 days a week wearing make-up, I love to not wear any and let my skin breath/be able to rub my eyes LOL :-)

12. Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with family?
I don't really, no. Unless I'm bored and putting on make-up for fun or to practice which I do a lot.

13. Will you leave the house without makeup?
Yeah, I do it all the time. It doesn't bother me. I think it's pretty strange when people say 'I can't leave the house without make-up on'. I'm pretty comfortable in my own skin.

14. How many high-end products do you have?
A lot LOL :-)

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you're getting dressed?
If I'm going out somewhere then I always plan, if it's day-to-day then I might or I might not, it depends.

16. How often do you change your handbag?
Hmm....every month maybe? I don't know.

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?
If I have work about half 7am, on my days off I try to get up between 8am and 10am, depends how tired I am! And I go to sleep about 12pm every night. 

18. How often or when do you workout?
Never! Haha, I want to, but I'd rather be at home with a cuppa!

19. Left handed or right handed?
Right.

20. How tall are you?
5'3" - roughly.

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?
A little French, very little.

22. How many pets do you have?
My puppy dog Chilly who is my pride and joy, I also had a black Goldfish called Francois (after NARS) but he died :-(

23. How often are you on Blogger?
Quite a lot just browsing at other blogs and writing posts too, maybe once a day? I don't know.

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?
I do a lot actually.

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes, LOADS of lists!

2013! - New Beginnings


So here we are in 2013, I haven't done a blog post for a good few months now. Truth is I was just lacking the motivation, I lost track of where I wanted my blog to go and what I wanted to achieve with it. After starting a new job and receiving a new camera for Christmas from my boyfriend (Thanks Jake!), I felt it was time to start the blog up again and endeavour to make it grow through 2013. 

I am currently undergoing plans to give the blog a complete makeover and prep for that has already been started. I was going to wait until it's all finished to start posting again, but I was just far too excited! So stay tuned as it may start to change in the very near future.

Aside from that I will also be posting videos on YouTube featuring the same type of content that I talk about in my blog posts, but this will be a much more personal way of me communicating my loves and interests which I am excited to do! Can't say when the first video will go up but I'll post it on the blog so you all can find it!

Another change with the blog which I am so excited about is the domain name - it is no longer cocomykel.blogspot.co.uk but it is cocomykel.com - how fabulous? :-) I am so excited about this change as it really feels like my website now and I hope it makes it easier to access for everyone. You can still access it from the old address it will just redirect you.

So, all that said - wishing you all a fabulous 2013 filled with lots of new adventures and I do hope you will follow me on my adventures by reading the blog and watching it grow.

Lots more new content to come.......love always
