Zoella

So, originally i said it would be a week until i did this. But a few very impatient people…*cough* Laura & Kelly *cough* haha wanted me to do it sooner, & i was getting a little scared by the amount of questions i already had.

I was also tagged by Helen to do the “20 questions” post, so i’m going to incorporate those questions into this.

I was also tagged by the gorgeous girlys Tabitha & Louise to do the “Honest Scrap” tag, I’m thinking alot of things will be revealed about me in this post so i hope this is sufficient ladies. :)



Okay, just a warning…there are ALOT of question & this will be a long post. So if you’re not really interested in me & only like my makeup, i would disappear now. haha

But if you are intrigued to find out more about me, grab yourself a cuppa or even an alcoholic beverage, sit back & enjoy.

:)



Me…

Do you have any siblings?

Yes, i have one 17/18 year old brother. He is pictured in one of my blogposts.

How old are you?

I’m 19 & my birthday is on the 28th March

What’s your height?

5ft 4″

What’s your top/dress size?

I’m an English size 6/8

Do you have any diet plans/tips?

I really don’t. If you know me, you’ll know that all i eat is food that’s bad for you. I do sometimes eat fruit/veg & potato is my favourite food.

Do you workout/How do you stay so slim?

This is going to sound awful, but i don’t. I have an extremely high metabolism thus making me slim without having to exercise or watch what i eat. I know alot of people will be like “omg your so lucky” but i’d actually like to be a dress size bigger as i find it very difficult to fit some clothes & i’m sure one day my metabolism will change, and i will put on a million stone from having a rubbish diet now. ;)

Do you have any pets?

I have a goldfish called wasabee. I did have plenty of others but they all died. I think my fish wanted the whole tank for himself and murdered them. Hmph. I also used to have 2 guinea pigs called Milo & Monty. & i LOVED them. Guinea pigs are my favourite animals. They’re too cute.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

This will sound boring..but nothing. I like scrapbooking & oraganising things...like my room. I find it theraputic & satisfying, but usually if i have any time on my hands, i just like to chill out with family/friends.

Who inspires you?

So many people inspire me. I dont’ think i could pick just one. Even people in the street inspire me.

What do you feel is your greatest achievment?

My greatest achievement? Hhm..My A level grades i suppose

What do you value most in life?

The people that value me…(awee vom)

What do you do?

I used to work in an interior design business, but a few weeks ago i was made redundant due to hard times & now i am currently looking for a job. I have always been one of those people that’s not too sure what they want to do with their lives & i pretty much just see where the wind takes me. I really wish i wanted to go to uni, but i dont think i do, due to the fact im not too sure what i’d study…

What is your dream job?

My dream job…hmm..my dream job would be something in the fashion/makeup/interior design industry

What did you take for your GCSE’S

I took Art, Textiles, Business studies & French

Do you make good grades?

Um…my Gcse’s were okay, mostly b’s, some a’s and a few a*’s…i got all A’s for my a levels which i was SO proud of.

What is your ethnicity?

*asks mum* – Um i’m just british, i wish i could say i was half italian or something…but i’m not.

Do you want to get married later on in life?

Of course, as does every other girl. I have aways been a super girly girl. Had a million dolls and looked after them like they were real babies. & weddings have always been something me & Alex would fantasize & plan out ever since we were about 10. We even know what engagement rings we want. haha. I would never marry the wrong person just for a wedding though. I think what is most exciting about a wedding is knowing the person your marrying wants to be with you forever. Too cute.

Do you have any phobias?

Spiders. But i think i have an extreme phobia of them. Even the smallest of spiders shakes me up so much that i feel like crying/hyperventilating. I never used to be this bad but lately i cant even stomach the sight of one. I had to hoover up a dead on the other day, and it was HUGE. and when i sucked it up..it sounded like i’d hoovered a tennis ball..and the noise gave me goosebumps for days. I also dont really like the sea. I dont trust what’s in it.

Have you ever had a near death experience?

I really don’t think i have. :( A car nearly crashed into me today…that could be one? Never broken any bones or been to hospital..im pretty boring.

Do you get mad easily?

No, i dont get mad easily. But if someone is being a complete idiot for a while, i will get frustrated & upset..rather than mad…i would get mad if they continued to be a plonker.

How did you get so gorgeous? (Question courtesy of Laura..haha love you)

It’s called makeup. :) I promise you underneath i look like quasymodo.

Where have you been on holiday & where was the best?

I have beeen to..loads of places in the UK. Cornwall, Isle of Wight, Devon, Dorset, Wales…etc etc. Abroad i have been to portugal 4 times, Rhodes once & The Maldives once. Maldives was the most amazing place i’ve ever ever been. I loved it.

Favourite childhood memory?

Oh gosh i have so many. Me & Alex have thhee most amazing childhood stories. But that would be another post enitrely. haha I remember my grandad used to build boats and playhouses from giant cardboard boxes & me and my cousen & bruv used to think they were the most amazing thing ever. I also remember in the summer, my grandad used to give me & my cuz a “leg & a wing” i dont know if any of you are familiar with that…its when you grab an arm, and the corresponding leg, and just spin round…it freaked me out but was fun.

What was being in Harry Potter like?

Ahhh i get asked this alot. So i will start from the beginning. I was 10 when they first started filming for the first film, and my primary school is in the village they used. So they came & asked everyone in my year (which was probabaly about 7 children) if we wanted to be extras. & of course we said yes. I was in hufflepuff :)

The first year, we were used in Snapes potion class scene. I am not seen in the film annoyingly, but its nice to know i was there. We also got to mingle with the cast, we watched spider man with them. haha & Devon Murray (who plays seamus finnigan) asked me out..haha. i said no. I was 10 years old and boys scared me.

I was also in the second film…again..you cannot see me. I went to london to be on the hogwarts express…which was so exciting.

How do you take care of your hair?

I try not to overwash it, use serums ALWAYS & never over straighten. Give your hair some breaks. I also never dye my hair, besides the odd highlight here & there, and i had a semi permanent colour put in about 4 months ago..but no extreme dying.

The colour of my natural hair is the colour you see in my photos, and i wouldnt have a clue about the exact highlight colour.

What are your views on plastic surgery?

I say, if it makes you happy, & you’ve got the money…why not. Just think that some people go a little O.T.T and i dont like MASSIVE fake boobs because they make me feel a bit queasy.

Is florabundance lipglass sticky or is that just the tester?

Lipglasses are a little sticky & the consistency is quite thick with some. But i dont find them unbearable. Maybe it was just because the tester had oxidised alot?

If makeup somehow wasn’t invented (:O) what would you replace it with?

Dear meee..haha. I would probabaly just be alot more obsessed with jewellery & clothes & shoes. I’d always find something to obsess over.

Do you bite your nails?

Probabaly sometimes..if im nervous. But i never notice until i look down and im like “oh my..where have my nails gone” I mostly just pick them…it’s bad i know, but i have horrible nails & they dont grow. Im an acryllics girl all the way.

Other/Random

I think…i would rather grow a beard because at least you can have that lasered off, but once hair on your head has gone….it’s gone.

If you could know the date you were going to die, would you want to know?

Yes i think i would because then i can do all the things i wanted to do before the date. I wouldnt want to know how i died though.

If you were a cannibal, what would you wear to dinner?
