'Get to know me' tag!

Hi everyone!

Phew! What a busy last few weeks it has been. I moved out of home on the 4th of March up to Auckland, NZ to start my Bachelor of Business degree! The degree consists of three years full-time study, and then hopefully I will find an amazing job at the end of it. I am hoping to major in marketing or management or both! I think studying business will also be really beneficial for my blog too. At the moment, I am still adjusting to traffic noise and the sheer amount of people, but I am sure I will get used to it soon.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has submitted an entry into my international giveaway. I love seeing which products and brands you (and your family) enjoy using. For those of you who don't know, I am running a really awesome giveaway at the moment in which you can win a prize pack full of gorgeous natural and organic skincare and beauty products. All the details including how to enter, prize list, rules etc. are discussed in my previous blog post, so check it out! Bare Faced Beauty by Caitlin is also on Facebook. Simply 'like' the page for updates, extra posts and Facebook giveaways, I look forward to seeing you there!

So you are probably wondering by now, when is she going to talk about the 'get to know me' tag.  Basically, it is a list of questions which I will answer, so my readers can get to know me a little better. I thought it would be a cool way to interact with you guys a bit more, and show my personality etc. :)
So let's get started!

1. Who is your favourite super hero? Why?
A: I was never really into comics or super hero's, but my favourite would probably be Spiderman (and Super woman of course!)

2. What is your favourite magazine?
A: Which magazine I read really depends on my mood! I enjoy reading magazines that have a bit of substance and interesting real life articles. One that never lets me down is NZ magazine 'NEXT'. I also quite like reading home interior magazines, and occasionally food magazines too.

3. Have you ever lived abroad?
A: Nope. I have never lived abroad. I think I would like to live in America for a couple of years when I am older, just for a change, but I think I will always come back to living in New Zealand :)

4. If you could wear one accessory (bracelet, earrings, necklace etc.) for the rest of your life, what would you wear?
A: This is a really tough question, but I would probably have to go with earrings. They can finish off an outfit perfectly, and always look feminine and pretty! I feel naked without wearing earrings!

5. Do you own any animals?
Of course! I love animals, and have grown up with pets, so I think I would feel incomplete without having any animals! At home we have three cats (two boys and a girl) and some sheep. I got one of the cats for my 16th birthday. His name is Leo and he is the cutest little cat I have ever seen! He never fails to make me laugh or smile :) I have included a photo of him at the end of this post!

6. As for perfume... floral, fruity, foodie or other?
A: I have always liked light, floral scents, as I think they are perfect for wearing during the day. I think lighter scents are more suitable for younger women too. My two favourite perfume's are Daisy by Marc Jacobs (the original) and Scarlett by Cacharel. I love wearing Daisy during summer, and Scarlett in the evening or during Autumn/Winter.

7. Do you have a favourite store to shop at for clothes?
A: My all time favourite store is called 'Forever New', I believe the store is also in the states under the name 'Ever New'. Their style is sophisticated, glamorous and chic. All their clothes are gorgeous, particularly their tops and dresses! I would definitely recommend shopping there for a date night/ evening dress.

8. What blogging habit gets on your nerves?
A: This hasn't happened to me personally, but it really annoys me when people advertise their own pages/businesses etc. through the comment section of someone's video or blog post. I understand that they want to get more fans, but there are better ways to do so!

9. What type of music do you like listening to? Any favourite artist's or songs?
A: I enjoy songs from a range of different genres. I enjoy good pop music, soundtrack songs, classical piano, old school jazz, Latin American, Rock, Alternative, all sorts! Some of my favourite artist's/bands are Red Hot Chili Pepper's, Paramore, Lady Gaga and Adele.

10. What are your ambitions for the future?
A: I would love to become a successful marketing manager for an international organic skincare or make up brand. I would love my blog to keep growing and perhaps become my own business! I would like to have a family, travel around Europe and just live a healthy, long and successful life!

Thanks for reading! Feel free to reply to any of the questions in the comment section below. I hope you have had/are having a wonderful day, wherever you are in the world! I love my international fans!

I will be posting a new review later in the week xx
