    After watching Brogan from Brogantatexo.co.uk wishes video it got me thinking about what I wish I knew and how I want my future to turn out. 

    1. What do you wish you knew when you were younger?
    I wish someone had told me that being an adult is hard and that your twenties are some of the toughest years of your life. I always wish someone had told me you don't need all the friends in the world to feel special. 

    2. Where do you wish you could live?
    The Isle of White. I can't wait to go back this year. 

    3. What is one thing you wish you could do?
    I wish I could open up to people more and not hide how I am feeling. 

    4. What would you wish to be better at?
    I would wish to be better at accepting myself for who I am and I wish I was better at not doubting myself and my own abilities. 

    5. What did you wish to become when you were little?
    It may seem sad to some people but I always had an interest in business so always wanted to work in a shop as a child. Now I have a lovely job working in a home interior store. I would love to own my own little business one day. 

    6. Is there anything you wish you could change about the world?
    Just the standard things of not letting people suffer and find cures for illnesses. 

    7. What is your biggest wish?
    My biggest wish in life is that one day I will have a perfect wedding and have my own little family with Glen. Also that my family are always happy and healthy.

Love you lots. 
    5. The difference in my face. 
    6. Mega amount of sister points for Stacey. Such a lucky little sister to have a big sister that sends me amazing parcels. 
    7. 2014 you have been a blast. First year living in the South. As the clock strikes 12 and 2015 begins this man will be by my side as he has been all through 2014. We have had a blast. We have had good times and bad times. You are my world. Heres to 2015 and the memories it brings us. I love you Glen.

    Month one of 2015 over and done with already. I already feel like 2015 is going to quickly already. January was full of lots of lots of pretty beauty products. My favourite base product for January was Rimmel Last Finish Nude Foundation which I have recently finished and I am defiantly thinking about repurchasing it. I love the medium coverage it gives which is prefect for everyday while at work. I used the 17 Define and Conquer kit a lot, I don't use this to contour I just use it to add a little bit of colour to my face. Blusher is one of my favourite makeup products but my two stand out ones of January were the Bobbi Brown Cancer Research Blusher which is a gorgeous pink which gives you the perfect flush of colour on your cheeks. I also loved my Hourglass Ambient Lighting blush in Dim Infusion. I love how it gives you a bit of colour and a shine at the same time. Multi use products are always a winner in my eyes. For eyelashes I was loving volume and length. My two favourites last month were Benefit They're Real, a favourite amongst many for the length it gives your eyelashes. I have recently found an excellent cheaper dupe for this mascara. Watch this space for a post coming soon. My other favourite was Maybelline The Falsies, a favourite for years and the only mascara I have ever repurchased. Chanel Boy, my perfect everyday nude for the month of January and Dior Addict lipstick in Beige Perfection, my perfect reddy beige going out colour for January. My fragrance of choice for the month was my Michael Kors Sexy Amber Perfume, Sumptuous amber wrapped in sandalwood and muck with backdrop notes of dazzling orange, mandarin and white florals. I can not get enough of this fragrance. 

    What were your favourites for the month of January?

    In Januarys Degustbox there was a box of Sukrin Cake Mix, a cake mix which is free from sugar, gluten, wheat and egg. Anyone who knows me well knows I love a good cake so this was right up my street. A simply cake made in ten easy steps. 
    Step one. Preheat oven on gas mark 4.  
    Step two. Mix three large eggs (or your choice of egg replacer), 150ml of water and 75ml of oil in a bowl. I used rice oil which was also in Januarys Degustabox. 
    Step three. Weigh out 30g of coco powder in a bowl. 
    Step four. Sift the packet cake mix into the egg, water and oil mixture and whisk together until the batter becomes smooth.
    Step five. Sift the coco powder into the mixture and whisk together until all the coco powder is mixed in. 
    Step six. Add in a cap of vanilla extract. 
    Step seven. Line a cake tin with some grease proof paper, add in the mixture and pop in the oven for around 30 mins. 
    Step eight. Pop on a cooling rack. 
    Step nine. Decorate your cake. I choose to use chocolate fondant and giant chocolate buttons.
    Step ten. Leave to chill, eat and enjoy. 

    We have tried some of the left over cake and it was defiantly a success. I didn't have much hope for the cake with it having no sugar or anything in it but it will defiantly go down a well.

    When I read the quote I have used to title this post I thought it was perfect. I see my tattoos as art. After reading Pasha from Itsfashionoclock.blogspot.com tattoo post I thought it was time to go into a little more detail about the tattoos I have. My tattoos all have sentimental meanings behind them and were all worth the pain. 

    1. How many tattoos do you have?

    I have four tattoos, It looks like I have three as I have a word under my first tattoo but they were done on separate occasions. 

    2. What's your favourite tattoo you have?

    My favourite tattoo is the last tattoo, It is a feather with a rose in the middle and next to it it says, 'Always on my mind, Forever in my heart'. This tattoo is in memory of my Nana and certainly means a lot it me. 

    3. How old were you when you got your first tattoo?

    I was 18 when I got my first, 19 for my second, 20 for my third and 21 for my fourth. 

    4. What do your parents think about your tattoos?

    My dad has always been supportive of every tattoo I have wanted. My mam on the other hand would always pull a face at the thought but she loves them all. 

    5. Does your boyfriend like your tattoos, if so what's his favourite?

    Yes he does and my feather is his favourite. 

    6. Did you always have a love for tattoos and what was your inspiration?

    I knew from the age of around 15 I wanted a tattoo. My first tattoo is a rose and a swallow, the rose is in memory of Granda who always grew roses and the swallow is in memory of my Nana who always fed the birds. My second tattoo is the word 'TUPPS', my dad has called me tupps since the day I was born and anyone who knows me well knows that my dad means the world to me. My third tattoo is a dandelion with birds coming off it, this represents a really tough time I went through and to me it means 'Tough times do get better'. As previously mentioned my fourth tattoo is for my Nana and will always mean the world to me. 

    7. Do you plan on getting more tattoos in the future?

    I defiantly want more tattoos. I just need to decided what I want. If I ever have children I will have tattoos done for them. 

    8. Which tattoo would you say was the most painful?

    My feather, it took the longest and has quite a bit of shading on it. 

    9. Do you regret any of your tattoos and why?

    I don't really regret any of them but I wish I had got my dandelion done bigger. 

    10. What was your least painful tattoo?

    The word 'TUPPS'. It took about half an hour and was practically pain free. 

    Do you have any tattoos? If so what do you have?
