Hey lovelies! You guys have probably already heard (read?) me mentioning my boyfriend before but I thought I would do this post anyway as I thought it would be a fun more lifestyle-y type post.
Firstly, my boyfriends name is Joseph/Joe. He's 18 years old and we have been together 1 year and 4 months on the 7th April 2014. We have a 5 month old son together named Charlie. We met mid-november or 2012 and the we got together on the 7th December 2012. I'd met him twice before our first proper 'meeting' and we'd spoke but not much. One night, we were out with our mutual friends when everyone went in and it was just us to. Cut a long story short, we were sat in the park till about 12:30am (my parents were worried sick as my phone had went flat! Ooops.) playing 20 questions, doing push ups (well I tried..) and kissing. It was a great night and one I will never forget. We have so many great memories like getting up at 5:00am to go jogging or staying up all night on skype then going to his house in the morning with my friends box set or walking to McDonald's for my first ever Sausage and Egg McMuffin (I didn't like it..). Writing this has made me realise we used to get up really early for some bizarre reason. Anyway, enough of my cheesy blabbering and onto the questions!
1. He's sitting in front of the tv what is on the screen?
Erm, we don't watch tv too much but his favourite tv shows are Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, South Park, Family Guy and American Dad so probably one of them.
2. You're out to eat what kind of dressing does he get on his salad?
He doesn't tend to order salad when we go out..
3. whats one food he doesn't like?
He never used to like pizzas with a tomato base (preferred barbeque - yum!) or peanut butter but he seems to like them both now.
4. You go out to eat and have a drink what does he order?
Non-alcoholic: either coke or diet coke. Alcoholic: probably kopperberg (I can't spell that!)
5. What size shoe does he wear?
A 9 but a 10 in some brands.
6. If he was collecting anything what would it be?
Game of Thrones things. You can buy John Snow's sword online which I know he would love.
7. What is his favorite type of sandwich?
Oooh, toss up between chicken and bacon, blt and chicken tikka (from subway).
8. What would this person eat everyday if he could?
He wouldn't do that. I used to eat the same thing ever day and Joe found it super weird and disgusting so he would never do that.
9. What is his favorite cereal?
He doesn't tend to like cereal however he'll eat cornflakes.
10. Whats his favourite music?
This is impossible for Joe.. If you know him you'll know how varied his music taste is so this question is just too hard.
11. Whats his favourite sports team?
He's not a massive supporter but he likes Liverpool Football Club.
12. Whats his eye colour
They're really deep brown with a hint of green in certain lights.
13. Who's his best friend?
He doesn't have one specific best friend but probably Marc, James and Declan.
14. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't?
Bite my nails or take stuff back two days after buying them.
15. Whats his heritage/where is he from?
He recently told me this so he will kill me if I get this wrong (sorry Joe!) but his family are from both Ireland and Scotland.
16. You bake him a cake for his birthday what kind of cake?
I'm not too sure on this but maybe a giant Resses cups cake as once we bought 9 packs of them :) or maybe some walnut cake as he introduced me to that (thanks Joe, it's so delicious!).
17. Did he play any sports?
He doesn't too much as he's a bit too busy but when he was younger he played football and rugby a lot and he's done jui jitzu for a long time.
18. What could he spend hours doing?
Lately it would be watching the Ricky Gervais Show. Maybe playing one of his games?
19. What is one unique talent he has?
This sounds so weird but picking up things with his feet. If somethings fell on the floor and we're too lazy to get up and get it, he can pick it up with his feet instead which I guess is pretty unique.
It's annoying me how there's 19 and not 20 questions but that's the end of my boyfriend tag. I hope you've enjoyed it and now have a little more insight into both mine and Joe's lives. I quite liked writing this as it was something different which is always fun. I will hopefully speak (write?) to you guys soon as I really am trying to get into the habit of blogging more regularly.

Prom | Polyvore
Opi nail polish
$19 - liberty.co.uk

Hey, I know prom is fast approaching for many people so I thought I would do an outfit post what I would wear. Now this may seem likely a slightly weird post considering I'm 18 now and my prom is over (it was in 2012) however I made this set on Polyvore and I figured it would be a fun idea! My prom was a world wind mess of indecisiveness, feeling too ashamed to wear heels, bad makeup application, dodgy hair, bad time management and bitten nails. Basically, it didn't go too well. My hair wasn't dry even though I'd been the hairdressers, my favourite foundation at the time had run out, my false eyelashes were a mess looking, my lipstick was cheap, a bad colour and drying and my outfit was a bit hit and miss. For those of you wondering this was my dress; I really loved it, it fit well, the colour was pretty however it just wasn't right for prom and how I wore it was pretty shocking. Anyway, I'm starting to babble but what I basically wanted to say was I wanted to make this post for any readers who need some inspiration for their prom in the summer. If it was my prom again, this is the outfit I would have potentially worn.
White dress // Missguided // £30.00 - Firstly, the dress.. I absolutely love this dress! At first, it doesn't look right for prom as it's quite simple but that's what I love about it. The colour is great for summer and will compliment a subtle tan quite nicely. The lace adds a bit of sexiness without being too slutty or revealing considering when I went to prom I was 16. I'm also a bit of a fan of long sleeves lately so I love the fact that this has them too.
Black Sandals // Topshop // £55.00 - I really love these shoes! I'm having a bit of a love-in with heels at the moment and chunky ones seem to be extremely popular at the minute and I can see why. They have quite a large platform which would make them quite comfy so there would be no taking off your shoes to dance all night - spending a while to look perfect then taking off your shoes, not a good look. I also think these would go lovely with the dress as the chunkiness would be a perfect contrast to the delicacy of the dress.
Black and Gold belt // Moschino & 2B // £180 & £6.05 - I included a belt I figured the statement black and gold would offset the pureness and girliness of the white dress nicely. They're also great for figure complimenting. The reason I chose two is pretty obvious; one is £180, the other £6.05 however I love them both. I don't know about you but I can't afford to pay £180 but I think the other one is just as pretty. A few years ago, Urban Outfitters did a black and gold statement cross belt which I also think would look great with this look.
Colour Tattoo in Immortal Charcoal // Maybelline // £4.99 - If you read my blog regularly then you will know that I recently picked up this little beauty. I've worn it a couple of times now and I love it. I think this would be perfect makeup product to compliment the makeup look I have planned as it would create a lovely base to stop creasing and still look flawless when you're dancing at 1:00am.
Gel Eyeliner // Maybelline // £7.99 - Another product previously mentioned on my blog and another one I have definitely fallen for! As its prom, false lashes are a must however they look pretty stupid if you can see the bands so eyeliner is also a must. A thin line of this then some Eyelure 101's or 107's would look beautiful!
Vice 2 Palette // Urban Decay // £42.00 - The third product I have mentioned on my blog but I wouldn't go to prom without it! I would create a smokey look using rewind as a transitional colour, smokeout to darken up the outer corner, radar in the centre of the lid, then strike (or maybe half-baked from my Naked palette) on the inner third to compliment the gold of the belt, dope as a brow highlight and finally rewind to create the perfect strong brow. I would also add smokeout under my bottom lashes to really smoke it out. For inspiration, I would use this photo (the photo links to a brilliant gold smokey eye tutorials by one of my favourite YouTubers) however I would try to make the black darker and smokier. I would also use my GOSH pigment in the colour 'copper'.
Nail Varnish in In The Spot // OPI // £12.00 - For my prom, I just had my natural, unpainted, bitten nails due to not having time to do anything to them (I had originally planned falsies with red glitter!). If I were to do it again with this outfit then I would wear this nail varnish as I just love the colour. With the eye makeup, the shoes and the belt I thought it would be nice to have something to compliment the girliness of the dress rather than contrast it. Its also not too in-your-face so it wouldn't detract from the outfit. Some may say its boring however personally, I think it's more classically pretty.
Retro Matte Lipstick Collection // MAC // £15.00 each - I really love this photo! All of the lipsticks lined up so perfectly with such lovely colours is what I dream of. These lipsticks are from the Retro Matte Collection which are available on the MAC website. I think they would go lovely with the dark smokiness of the eye makeup as well as being the perfect pop of colour for the summer. I still have my MAC voucher so I may have to look into these in my local store as I think I may be in love.
Ombre wavy hair - This was originally how I wanted my hair for prom; long, wavy and ombred a gorgeous caramel-blonde colour. Instead I got my blondey-gingery ombre (that isn't very noticeable on the photo below) with wet hair that dried into my natural frizz ball, oh and it was short too! If I was to do prom again, I would definitely do my own hair. I may not be very good at it but at least I wouldn't be sat in a hairdressers for 3 hours. I would dye my hair the perfect ombre colour the night before then in the morning, add heated rollers to both my hair and my dyed hair extensions then once my makeup was done, I would take out the rollers, run my fingers through my hair, loosely curl any straight bits, add in some texturising spray and finally blow my hair on the cold setting to create that messy wavy look.
I hope you liked this post. I thought it was something a bit different and I really loved creating it. I haven't had Polyvore for too long but as you may be able to tell I'm obsessed; such a great website idea! I may not be going to prom this year but I would still definitely wear this outfit. Are you going to prom this year? If you are, I hope you have a fun time and your getting ready part is much more enjoyable and stress-free than mine was! I will finish with one of the only photos I don't hate from my prom, enjoy 16-year-old me!
