Happy Sunday! Bailey, my pup above, looks exactly like how I’m feeling right now: tired and over it! I hope you all had a great weekend… I can’t wait ’til bedtime.
But before I go and dream about the apocalypse (I always dream about the world ending – I wonder what it means?!), I’d love to do a “getting to know you” post. It’s been a year since I’ve done this type of post and I enjoy them so much. I have noticed there are many new readers and would very much like to find out more about you!
So tell me…
- How old are you? Where are you from?
- What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
- One random fact about yourself?
I think most of you know the first two things about me so I’ll answer the last one! OK… don’t laugh, but I used to be in a band. It lasted one week. They kicked me out because apparently having a “girl” in a rock band doesn’t work.
…HA! OK. I would call Gwen Stefani and ask what she thinks about that, but I think she’s too busy polishing her Grammy.
Your turn! Please don’t be shy and introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you all!

Hello, Renee! I used to be in a band too. Well, I’m still sort of in it. We figured out that my keyboard kind of clashed with their acoustic guitars, so now I’m kind of like their producer. I’m not sure if that’s a promotion or demotion! Haha
I’m a seventeen year old high school student from California, but right now I’m on summer break. My favourite subject is psychology. I really like history too, but I have trouble memorizing all the names and dates. That’s probably why I like it–it’s always new to me!
Random fact: I want to open up my own animation studio and make movies that are more adult-oriented. For some reason, most American animated movies are targeted towards kids or families. But with foreign cinema, there are animated movies that are more serious too! I love film in general, so I think I’d like to try and get funding for animation by acting and saving money from that. It’s a difficult goal, but I know that one day I’ll accomplish it! (:
Aww, I think promotion? Since you’re overlooking everything? Haha.
Wow, to be honest I never really thought about it, but you’re right… animation does seem to fit the “kids” or family with kids audience. Are there any “adult” animated films you’d recommend? I would really love to check some out! xx
what! Tom Felton!
hes my faviouteee i wish i could meet him! luckkyy……
hi Renee!

Hi Renee…
I just turned 40 (11 June) and am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Gosh, I must be the OLDEST chick on here, hahahaha. But what the heck, I do love being 40. It has been really great. I think when you embrace ageing, you will age gracefully.
I am a Banker. Not exactly an exciting job but I do love it. Used to work in the advertising industry for 12 years and I absolutely hated the “dog-eat-dog” industry. Now, I have more personal time, enjoying fabulous benefits from the Bank, makes living and working great.
One random fact about yourself: I love to cook. My signature dishes: Pasta with Prawns in White Wine Sauce and Spicy Fried Rice Noodles with Prawns (almost like Mee Siam style).
Hey Maisie! Oh no you are not the oldest, trust me! My friend just turned 40 and it sounds like a great age! And I totally agree on aging gracefully. At the end of the day age is only a number, right?
And ditto on the advertising industry. I think all creative industries are like that, no? Oh the stories I’ve heard! I was only in it for a VERY short time but hated it as well.
o and one more thing- you inspired me to make my own beauty blog, so here it is!
http://faceofbeautie.blogspot.com/
Hey Katelyn, Oh I am so happy to hear that! Will go check it out now, love the name already.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG SO MUCH
Haha, I probably sound like a stalker but it’s true. I’m Melissa, 15 and from Malaysia. I am a major health nut and all my friends make fun of me when I once took a health drink at school and it was all slimy and green but it was packed with raw foods so I didn’t care 
I had blueberry yoghurt explode in my bag once at school and my bag smelled reeaaallyy good after that.
Something else about me is that I’m in love with Robbie Wadge and Francisco Lachowski, two gorgeous male models. Sad fact is that there are no cute boys in my school. Le sigh.
Aw Melissa thank you SO much! Very nice to meet you and KUDOS for taking care of yur health. Ugh, I really really try and have cut down so much on junk food but I just can’t resist ice cream GAH! I need to start eating yoghurt ice cream, is that healthier? Haha.
Will go Google the two models now. Do you know Mathias Lauridsen? Swooooooon! x
I am 14 years old and I am in a high school in Edinburgh, Scotland, studying for my Standard Grades. Random fact: I love shopping for, buying, reading reviews of and wishing for beauty products, but I use very few. It means I have a drawer full of make up, face creams and nail varnishes etc. many of which aren’t used! Most of all I have zillions of lipbalms and I have a sort of rota for them so none of the go to waste
Love your blog by the way.
Hey Naomi! Thank you
Omg, Scotland… amazing! I so want to visit there (I want to visit everywhere haha). I’m totally the same when it comes to lipbalms… I have so many and I dump them everywhere (handbags, the kitchen, some are lost inside my couch haha) so I use them all on rotation.
Hi Renee! I’m 15 years old and I’m from Jakarta, Indonesia. I love your blog! Your blog is simple yet good-looking. Just peeerfect.?
And.. my English is not really good.
Random fact(s): I love nail polish! I’ve got many shades of pink (Hot pink is my favourite!). I’m a feminist and I think you’re beautiful!
too many random facts? haha.
Ivana, your English is perfect! And I love nail polish too… just bought a pale yellow online, can’t wait til it arrives! What other colors do you like? You should try mint green… I love it so much!
And thank you so much for your kind words, really glad to meet you.
I’m Maya, 18 years old and from Ontario Canada!
I just graduated high school (so sad!) and moving on into university and taking Classical Studies! So excited cannot wait!
My random fact, I am actually a long boarder and have been long boarding for the past year. I love it, it’s so great and I have to say I feel pretty good while boarding
Oh wow congrats on graduating, Maya! Will you be staying in Canada for university? Ah how exciting, your life is just beginning
I am 15 years old and I hail all the way from Vancouver, B.C. Canada.
I am a high school student and currently on my summer vacation
Random thing about me is that I’m a tomboy. That means I enjoy video games and playing sports. But I also enjoy fashion and beauty too!
Hey Jessica! I’m a total tomboy too, or at least I was! I grew up playing soccer, Lego and collection pots of slim haha. Now I’m not really a tomboy but I’m not really a girly-girl, if that makes sense. I’m in-between? Haha.
Do you have any fun plans this Summer? What are summers like in Vancouver? xx
Renee! I love your blog!!!
I’m Erin, and I currently live in Exeter, New Hampshire, USA, with my fiance, although I grew up in Merrimack, NH, and went to school (briefly) in New York City, where I was studying Drawing at the Pratt Institute. Currently, I work from my computer at home doing Quality Control for a Consulting company (so boring). One random fact…. I just had a baby! She’s two months old, and her name is Charlotte Michele. She and her daddy both have the initials CMM
My name is Ashley, I’m fourteen years old, and I’m from the smallest state of the USA(Rhode Island!). I’m a nerdfighter(don’t worry if you don’t know what that means), and a girl scout. I’m currently not in school as it’s summer, but I’ll be starting high school in the fall.
One random fact: I was valedictorian of my eighth grade class. (:
I’m Imogen, I’m 14 years old and I’m from Somerset, England.
It’s my summer holiday and when I go back I will be in fourth form! Starting my GCSE’s ahh!
Random fact: I’m going to Madeira this holiday with my family and one of my best friends! So excited.
Xx
Hi! I’m 20 years old and I’m from Stockholm, Sweden. I’m currently working but come fall I’ll be studying Asian politics and economy. I’m on vacation right now though
Sooo nice! I’ve been following your blog for a while now, and I really love it!
Random fact: I spent most of 2010 in China learning Mandarin. It was truly the experience of my life!
Heia! I’m 27 year old Andrea. Born Singaporean, migrated to NZ at 16 and lived there for 10 years and now restarting life in Norway.
Currently I am a bum. I was working with Canon in NZ when I decided that I wanted to see the world and so I did! That was about 16 months ago. Now I’m trying to find a job in Norway that doesn’t require me to speak Norsk…at least not yet until my classes start!
Random fact: I’ve eaten whale meat! And moose, reindeer, caribou, arctic char, seal…all part of my travel experience! I’ll let you know when I get my hands on polar bear meat.
Btw, I think you’d give your band the extra x-factor! I mean, look at what Fergie did for The Black Eyed Peas or Haley did for Paramore??!! Their loss!
Hiii
i seriously love your blog. And youre really pretty! Anywayyyy, im 17, and from cleveland, ohio..not the most exciting city in the usa but oh well.
im in highschool, about to be a senior! When I graduate I want to study like history, religion, ethics and things like that. I really would love to be a teacher but the salary kinda makes me want to think twice. But ill probably stick with it
Random thing about me, hmmm. Im dying to see the foo fighters in concert, I have an obsession with purple eyeliner and mascara, and im currently reading the genesis for my english class which is kinda awkward since im muslim.
Hello! I’m 16 and from California. I live in a rural town 30 mins from San Francisco!
I’m currently a student – about to be a senior in highschool! Go firebirds! (LOL, lame right? I mean, firebirds? What were they thinking.) But I do also work part time for a beauty/fashion photographer!
Random fact? I sometimes dream in all French, even though I’ve only been studying the language for a few years! I can also spin both of my arms around 360 degrees (sounds creepy, huh! :0 inherited it from my mum).
Hello!
First of all I gotta say that I love looove your blog! Very helpful and the tips are just great! Keep up the good job!
I’m 17 and I’m German/ Indonesian.Although I was born in Germany,I have spent most of my life in Asia,14 years to be exact, First, 7 years Jakarta, then Germany for 3 years and the other 7 years in Singapore
I used to be a student in Singapore and now I have my summer break! And in 2 weeks,my school will start on Bali (recently moved there). Now a random fact..hmm..well I have light brown hair and blue/green/grey-ish eyes which is quite uncommon for an eurasian..and I love asian cuisine! And my younger brother (15) is the complete oppostite! He looks like an Indonesian (except that he’s almost 2m! haha) and he loves european cuisine the most! I personally think it’s weird but oh well!
I’m 14 and from the US.
I’m going into highschool this year, and I’m rather terrified. Random fact? Uh… I really want to move the beach when I’m old enough.
…and I love this site! I found it while on a roadtrip (stumbleupon) and it made me very happy.
it’s super helpful!
Hey Renee!
Name’s Esmé, I’m 16, from Singapore! Found your blog off googling for a product review on The Body Shop if I’m not wrong on a trip to Bali. I’m currently studying for an ever so painful, yet hopefully rewarding IB Diploma (although it really should be called the Eye Bag Diploma), but reading your blog is pretty much my little “bedtime story” every night. I guess a random fact about myself is that I’m ambidextrous…and I can move my ears? Ahaha. Oh, and perhaps the fact that I’m probably not the type that’ll come across as a beauty junkie, and I’ve been told by my friends that I’m the girliest ungirly person they’ve ever met! Ahaha! Really love your blog by the way! It’s like a breath of fresh air, couldn’t actually believe you were from Singapore until I found out you were half Danish! Ahaha!
Es x
Oh Esme thanks for your lovely comment! I am so glad you like my blog, thank you.
I love your name and good luck with IB. Omg IB haha. I did it for a week or so but after 2 classes of “Theory of Knowledge”, I told them it was BS and left hahah. Ah high school was so fun, enjoy it! xxxx
