50 Random Facts About Me Tag

Hey all! Today, I decided to do the 50 random facts about me tag! (I actually went overboard and I have 56, lol). I don't talk about myself that often on this blog, so I thought this was a good opportunity to let you all know me a little more. I took me a long time to compile 50 facts about myself, so sorry if some of these are boring or really random. Anyway, keep reading if you're interested :P

Phew this is going to be a long one, let's get started and good luck getting to the end :P



1) I'm 24 years old :)
2) I'm a university student, I study pharmacy.
3) I've been living on my own since I was 17. Well not alone, with my boyfriend :P
4) I sort of collect makeup lol
5) I sometimes have anxiety for random reasons like when I need to make a phone call.
6) I'm really shy at first and then once you know me I won't stop talking, ahah
7) I'm not big on gossip, I just think it's really boring.
8) I'm a bit of a gamer, I tend to like online games and RPGs.
9) I love to cook! I like to recreate meals that I had at restaurants or in other countries. I love making asian food (mostly japanese, thai and Vietnamese).
10) I listen to electronic music almost exclusively and it's been that way ever since I was in high school. (I like happy hardcore, hardstyle, hard trance, drum and bass, a bit of dubstep, freeform, etc. - comment if you like any of these music styles!
11) I'm a big reader, I especially love to read fantasy book.
12) I read and watch TV mostly in english even though my native language is french.
13) I'm a beer microbrewery enthusiast and I make my own beer at home.
14) I'm a complete cat lover. I have three of them at home and they're part of the family!
15) I'm also allergic to cats, which is ridiculous considering I have three.
16) I'm really afraid of water, especially current and waves. It terrifies me.
17) However, I love to do scuba diving. I have the Open Water certification and the Advanced certification. I feel very comfortable in the water when I dive.
18) I'm also very afraid of heights.
19) And because I'm full of contradictions (as you can probably see at this point), I also love to do rock climbing! I'm not very good at it, and it does scare me, but it feels nice to confront your fears sometimes.
20) One of my favorite things to do is hiking. I love to be in the forest and I love to climb mountains. It's really relaxing and it's always very rewarding.
21) Saying I love to eat, is an understatement. It's pretty much my favorite thing and I love discovering new places to eat.
22) I'm a backpacker and I love to travel. My goal is to visit every single country at least once!
23) I'm always watching a ton of TV series at the same time, right now I'm into : True Blood, New Girl, Game of Thrones, Bones, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
24) Energy drinks are my best friends. I know they're bad for you though so I try to limit myself. It's kind of a guilty pleasure.
25) I'm sort of an hermit. I love to stay at home and my ideal evening is staying in with a movie and yummy food.
26) My favorite food to eat when I'm out is asian food. I especially love Japanese and Vietnamese food.
27) I'm obsessed with chocolate milk.
28) My favorite holiday is Christmas. I get incredibly excited about anything that concerns Christmas. This year I even thought of making an Halloween Tree so I could get my Christmas tree out sooner. I didn't though.
29) In fact, I get way too excited about any holiday in general.
30) At home, I have to have everything organised. I want everything to have its place.
31) I have a tendency to leave all my work at the last minute.
32) I always need to have a fan on me when I sleep.
33) I'm not a morning person. I'm very grumpy in the morning and it takes me a long time to get going. I need coffee or a source of caffeine  if I'm going to wake up early.
34) On that note, I'm a night owl. I like to study at night and I rarely go to bed early unless I really have to.
35) I'm a list maker. If I don't write it down, my brain will repeat the information to itself over and over again util I make a list with it.
36) I'm really afraid of getting into a car accident. I never have *knock on wood* thankfully, but it terrifies me.
37) I'm really afraid of flying, even though I do it quite often. It seems to be getting worse as I grow older.
38) My main cardio workout is the arcade game In the Groove.

46) Lately, I'm constantly making different variations of chicken wraps for dinner.
47) I rarely eat red meat and I never cook it at home. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't favor it.
48) Sushi is my all time favorite food. I could eat it every single day.
49) I never broke a bone.
50) I have two brothers.

BONUS
51) I can spend hours and hours on the computer.
52) My handwriting consists of small perfectly aligned little capital letters.
53) I love bubble tea and I make it at home! Tutorial anyone?
54) I love anything with Hello Kitty on it!
55) There are two flavors I cannot stand : cilantro and sesame oil. If it's in my food I will know instantly and won't be able to eat it.
56) I don't like raw tomatoes, but I will eat them any other way (sauce, ketchup, sun dried, etc.)

October 2013 Favorites

Hey everyone! Today I'm doing my October favorites! Yay! I know I haven't done one last month (sorry :X), it's because I had a three week long internship in Montreal and I didn't have any time to prepare my favorites, so this month will have a bit more stuff than usual. It's going to include my favorites since the beginning of September and a few random favorites as well. I'm also starting a new favorites section which I don't usually do, the monthly fashion favorites! So with this say, let's get onto the favorites.

Makeup


- Garnier BB Cream for Normal to Oily Skin : Love this stuff, decent coverage, comfortable on the skin, love it! Got it on sale too, which is always a bonus.

- L'Oréal Magic Lumi Face Primer : Doesn't feel siliconey on the skin (not a fan of that) and helps foundation glide on and look nicer on the skin. Really expensive for drugstore though :X

- Quo Palette : Present from my bf ♥ at the end of September. My first Quo product and I love it! Super pigmented shadows and beautiful blushes. Been wearing the blushes all month.
- ZA Two Way Cake Powder Foundation : Only powder that will keep me shine free all day long lately.

- Stila Highlighting Duo in Kitten : Gives the most beautiful sheen on the skin. Worn everyday in September and October.

- L'Oréal Magic Lumi Foundation : Way too expensive (18$ at Jean Coutu), but I got this on sale. Nice finish, great coverage and the color matches me perfectly.

- Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara : Holy Grail Mascara, enough said.

- Garnier Roll-on concealer and treatment : very thin consistency, but nice coverage. Feels cooling on the skin, very pleasant. Usually overpriced, but I got this in a set at a super discount.

- Real Techniques Brushes : Contouring brush and expert face brush. Love these, super soft, dense and they're multi-purpose.

- Eco Tools Powder brush : nice for a light dusting of powder on the skin because of the tulip shape and the not too dense bristles. Very soft.

-UD All Nighter Setting Spray : Helps lock in your makeup when sprayed before and after makeup application. Expensive, but worth it.

-Wet n Wild Color Icon Highlight in Reserve your Cabana : Been looking for this powder for ages and I finally got my hands on it. Very subtle highlight, can be worn all over the skin for a nice dewy skin look.

- OPI Nail polish in Dulce de Leche : My first OPI and I'm not disapointed. Super easy to apply, nice staying power and this color is the perfect nude for my skin tone.

- Sephora Pencil Liner (Forest Green) : amazing staying power and super creamy. Very affordable too (11$). Seems like it could be comparable to UD 24/7 Liners for a fraction of the price. Incredible color selection (over 15 shades I think).

- NYX Slide on Pencil (Metallic Blue) : also an amazing liner. Similar consistency to the Sephora Pencil. Great color selection as well.

- E.l.f Black Liquid Liner : Never thought this would be my fave when I picked it up at Dollorama for the 20$ makeup challenge. Super thin applicator, very precise and stays on all day, love it!

- Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze : perfect to be worn on its own or underneath and taupey shadow. Stays on all day.

- Ardell Wispies Lashes : another product I've been wanting for ages and I'm not disappointed. They look great on and you can barely feel them.


Fashion and Accessories
Sorry for the awkward mirror pics, I'm not really used to taking outfit pictures lol. 

Outfit 1 : Flared blue jeans (20$ from Winners) with sheer black High Low blouse with gold hardware (10$ from Dynamite) and imitation suede caramel colored pointy flats with a bow. (4.50$ from Ardène)

Outfit 2 : Caramel colored faux leather bomber jacket (70$ from Garage) with black jeggings (40$ from Garage), burnt orange, blue, white and black tribal motif scarf (2$ from Ardène) and caramel colored booties with gold buckle (60$ from Verona).

Outfit 3 : My snuggling outfit! It's an essential for me during the colder months! Black tank top (15$ from Colori - any comfy top works perfectly too), with hello kitty red and black plaid pyjama pants (15$ from Winners) and Jack Skellington Slippers (20$ from China Town).

In case you're wondering why my Ardène picks are so inexpensive, it's because I usually go at Ardène Dépôt stores, which sell older collections for 70% off!


Food


I haven't been eating very healthy ever since I left for my internship. I also got a new job, which means I have little time for cooking and no motivation for healthy eating. It's been getting colder also so I'm kind of leaning towards comfort food and junk. I've been particularly into :

- Soups in general are really comforting to me,  but I've been especially craving Spicy Kimchi Ramen with added strips of nori and hard boiled egg.
- Gold Fish *drools*
- Fibre 1 brownies which are only 110 calories and 5g of fiber. They taste delicious! I guess it's kind of an healthy treat when you think about it. Much better than most brownies anyway.
- Flavored hot chocolate, especially Rolo flavored, nom!

Random

TV :
- Vampire Diairies (very fitting for this month isn't it :P)
- The Nightmare Before Christmas (as always during october , I like to watch my favorite Halloween classic, I also listen to the soundtrack on repeat lol)
- Netflix!

Books :
- Uprising by Imogen Rose (Bonfire Academy Series)
- Angel and Demons by Dan Brown

Now that I think about it, all my tv and book favorites are totally Halloween appropriate, how funny :P

Shops :
- Target!!!! They have just opened here in Quebec and I'm really excited to go shopping there. I've been once so far and I was quite happy with the cosmetics sections. Too bad we still don't have E.l.f though...

That's all for this month's favorites! I hope you enjoyed this! Let me know if you would like to see more fashion and random favorites in the future :)

August 2013 Beauty and Random Favorites

Beauty Favorites

Victoria Secret Very Sexy Body Spray : it's a little heavier and sweeter than the other Victoria Secret fragrance that I have. I like this one in the evening.

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil : Leaves my hair silky smooth and very soft. It's smells amazing and it's super affordable.

Lush Lip Scrub : Gets rid of ALL the dead skin on my lips, like absolutely nothing else. Completely obsessed with this.

Ardell 120 Demi Lashes : I love that these lashes flare out at the outer corners. It really gives a nice look to the lashes.

Maybelline Color Tattoo (Bad to the Bronze and Barely Branded) : I've been loving using these bases under natural makeup looks. The two shades that are my favorites are exactly what I need for daily use.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer : a favorite for a long time now, and the sample size is still going strong!

Eco Tools Brushes : I love their powder brush, their buffing brush, their large flat shading brush and their smudge brush (which I use as a pencil brush) lately. I use them every time I do a makeup look.

Real Techniques brushes : Lately I'm using the Expert face brush, the contour brush and the large blending brush (which I use for concealer and cream highlighting products) a lot . Love the quality of these.

Black Eyeliner : Got this in Thailand, not sure of the brand, but it's my go-to eyeliner at the moment.

Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey : Love the texture and great color. It's comfortable on the lips and stays on for a while. Really easy to wear on a day-to-day basis.

Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara : Still loving this mascara. I think it's been in every favorite for the past six months. Shows just how much I love this thing.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk : Very useful base for colorful looks. It will make any color pop.

Rimmel London blush in Bronze : I like the formula of this blush (the texture is silky and it's easy to apply), and it gives a nice bronzey look to the cheeks, perfect for summer.

Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit in Light : Perfect color for my eyebrows. I use this all the time now!

Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla and Macademia : this smells amazing, kind of like vanilla cake. Also, I love the packaging.

Favorites accessories

All of these bracelets and earrings are from Ardène, except the one that is on the far left, and the black and gold anklet.  The first one is a friendship bracelet with turtle patterns that I made myself and the anklet I got in Thailand last year.

10 Reason I'm Excited for Summer! ♥


April is coming to an end and may is just beginning. While summer only official starts mid June, may is the month where it gets warmer here in Quebec City, which makes me super excited for summertime!
---


Traveling 
I'm not 100% sure I'll be going backpacking this summer, but if not we will probably be going somewhere close like NYC and Toronto.

Wearing Shorts 
So many cute shorts I want to get :D

Warm Weather
Self explanatory!

School is Out
I have a summer trimester until late June, but after that I'm all free!

Neon colors
On my nails, on my clothes, everywhere :D

Going to the beach
I'm not the biggest beach bum out there, but nothing spells summer for me like the beach.

Good hair and Skin
More humidity means nicer hair and skin for me. Also, I take cool showers and don't heat style my hair as much during the summer so my  hair is super healthy.

Cool drinks & Ice Cream
Piña Coladas, Slush, Milk Shakes, yummy!

My hair gets lighter 

Outdoor fun
BBQ, diving, hiking, I love it all!
