Getting To Know You Better…

June 18, 2010

Alright ladies… it’s been 2 years and it’s time we have a housewarming party! I can recognize a few familiar faces, (especially if you’ve enabled Gravatar) but I know there are some others and I’d love to meet you all. It’s about time we start getting to know each other properly, no? ;) So pull up a chair and write whatever you’d like! Here’s some questions I’d love to know about yourself….

  • How old are you? Where are you from?
  • What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
  • How did you find Beauty Fool?
  • Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?

I’ll go first to break the ice. ;) I’m 21, from Singapore but I’m half Chinese and half Danish, I’m currently having a bit of a holiday because I’m waiting to graduate from university, but I should probably start job hunting… oops. Um, I found Beauty Fool because I created it, silly! My other ultimate obsession is music and playing the guitar (badly), and my interests are watching movies, writing, traveling, drawing, cycling, seeing friends, having late night drive adventures, bumming on the beach and more! Phew…

Also, just to let you all know I am taking an impromptu trip to Thailand – it’s beach time for me! I’ll be gone for a week so posting will be a little bit dry, but I’ll be as active in the comment sections as much as the hotel Internet allows! ‘Til then, hope you all have a great week and we’ll catch up very soon! :)

P.S.: What do you think of a post like this every end of the month? Somewhere where we can chat, ask questions – an ‘open thread’ of sorts? Could be fun, let me know what you think.

mwahaha i always get first comment because of my twitter obsession lol.
How old are you? Where are you from? I am 19 (20 next month!) and I was born in Berkeley, CA to an English dad and a French mum. I now live in Paris.

What do you do? Are you currently studying/working? Right now I am between my BA and my Masters so I am working on a fashion TV series here in Paris, I love my job!!! I am also a fashion blogger.

How did you find Beauty Fool? Uh…can’t remember! I think through Karen’s makeup and beauty blog?

Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
Fashion, film, zombies, tattoos, guitar, photography, cupcakes, jello shots.

No problemo, I always love your comments! :D

WOW – I didn’t know you were in Paris right now. It sounds like you’re having an awesome time, I’m so happy to hear! CONGRATS on doing your masters and getting such a cool job! I’m curious, what are you doing on the fashion series? Are you on your way to becoming a superstar stylist? ;) I’m so proud of you, this is so exciting :D Oh, and how I wish I was turning 20 – enjoy it, these are the BEST years! Will you be doing something big for your birthday or will you be waiting for your 21st for a big celebration? I hear that 21st birthdays in the US are a really huge deal?

Oh and I love cupcakes too… yummy! And thanks! I’m excited for the beach :) You should def go to Thailand someday if you ever come to Asia – and of course, stop by Singapore! ;)

Oh wow that sounds so exciting, I look forward to your post on that! Please link me up when it’s done so I can see. :D

Is it because the drinking age is 21 there, and that’s why everyone goes all out? Here 21 is no big deal ’cause everyone’s been drinking since 13, mwahahah! I hope you have a great birthday, I wish I was turning 20 too, LOL!

Tavia June 18, 2010 at 00:55

It’s a great idea to make a post like this. You may not believe it but I was thinking of a similar idea to get to know my visitors better. Same as you, I know some of the girls that are daily commentators and have beauty blogs but they others I only recognize by their nick name. So, congrats for starting this series (I’m hoping similar posts will follow)!
Now something about me. :)
1. I’m 28 and I live in Romania (Europe)
2. I’m currently writing @Chicprofile. I quit my job 3 years ago to start traveling (this lasted 2 years) and for 1 year I took the blogging job seriously (I still travel sometimes that’s why I’m taking a break from blogging 1 or 2 weeks sometimes).
3. I found out about you from other bloggers. I think I saw your comment on other site and of course your Gravatar photo. :)
4. Beside traveling and loving to be on the road/ plane all the time :) I like computers (games also, of course and photo retouching in Photoshop), shoes and perfumes. :)

That’s great Tavia! Yeah, I think it’s nice to connect and talk with your readers. :) I look forward to your post!

Wow you are SO lucky to be blogging as your job! I wish I could make it my job :) I also love traveling, like you, so my ULTIMATE dream job would be to travel all around the world and work on my blog as my job – because all you need is a laptop and an Internet connection. :) I remember you were talking about being an air stewardess, though, right?

And I’m really glad you found me thru the other blogs :D

Reply

Tavia June 18, 2010 at 16:52

Well it seems like you understand that it’s great to be blogging as your normal job. Actually I love the freedom, as you said I need only internet (that’s why I always stay in hotels that can provide internet access) and the fact that I can wake up anytime I want and take a day off whenever I feel like it.
About the stewardess thing…I’ve applied for 2 jobs and took both interviews (I still need to be contacted by Fly Emirates) but I don’t think I want that job anymore. I mean I would love that life style (although it’s not always sugar and honey) but I think it’s better to travel around the world as a tourist while you are in charge or your own blog. :)

Hey Kierra (I love your name, btw!) I’m so glad to meet you! Thank you for visiting religiously! I think this is the first time you’ve commented? :) What kind of job are you looking for?

Omg, and I can’t believe I left out shopping – I love it too! :D Although I generally like online shopping more, unfortunately that is more dangerous than ‘regular’ shopping ;)

Kierra June 18, 2010 at 08:44

Heyyy thanks :) …and yeaa this is the first time I’ve commented…usually i just read the updates but since you put up this post i figured why not comment…and i actually got hired at Hollister but then the manager didn’t know I was 16 sooo they said i have to wait until i’m 17 but i don’t think I want to work there…I’m just looking for any job that gives me good hours and pay but I’m going to California next week for the whole summer so i have to wait until i get back to get a job

Renee June 21, 2010 at 15:13

Cheryl June 18, 2010 at 02:37

This is such a fun idea, I love it!

* How old are you? Where are you from?
27. I live by the coast in the north east of England, but my mum is from Singapore. Like you I’m half Chinese but the other half’s British :)
I work part time in retail at the moment and I hate it, but it funds my shopping addiction for the time being :) I’m currently job hunting having just finished a post graduate law degree, so I’m trying to get my foot in the legal door now!

Even though it wasn’t that long ago, I can’t actually remember how I found Beauty Fool! I have a shocking memory and I click on so many links when I’m procrastinating – not a good combination! I think I must’ve followed a link from another blog… I’m glad I did find it though, it’s quickly become one of my favourite beauty blogs.

Other obsessions and interests… shopping is definitely up there! I also love reading, travel, knitting, baking/cooking and music (I play piano and some very bad guitar and bass!). I used to be really into films and photography too, but it’s kind of dwindled slightly lately. I think I have too many obsessions :P

Hope you have a lovely time in Thailand! I’m so jealous, I wish I was going away this summer!

Renee June 21, 2010 at 15:17

Hey Cheryl! Thanks for writing and visiting! :) Ooh yes – shopping, I forgot to add that in my list! What do you like to shop for? I think my current obsession is clothes! I never really shopped for clothes as a teen (I know, WHAT?!) so now I’m going a little insane. :-P

All the best for a job! I had no idea you were doing law, how exciting! Do you plan to stay in the UK to work? Do you ever visit Singapore, by the way, since your mom is Singaporean? :D

Reply

Cheryl June 22, 2010 at 17:56

I love shopping for almost anything, but clothes and beauty products mostly! I’m addicted to nail polishes and lip products at the moment :) I was the same, never really clothes shopped as a teenager, it wasn’t until I went to university that I started going a little overboard!

Thanks! I’m planning on staying in the UK to qualify as a solicitor. I’d love to live and work in Singapore at some point, even if only for a few years. I love the sun and the food and the shopping over there! Shops in the UK shut at 5 or 6pm most of the time and everywhere ends up looking like a ghost town – it’s depressing sometimes!

I used to visit a lot when I was younger. My Dad worked abroad, mostly in Malaysia and the Philippines so when we went over to see him we’d always stop off at Singapore for a month or so. My Mum goes back quite a bit, but the last time I was there was at the last world cup. I’m dying to go back soon, I really miss the food, haha! Although everything changes so quickly over there that it’s different every time I go back!

* How old are you? Where are you from?
My name is Lotta, and I’m 23 years old. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden.

* What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
I’m currently working at a school for ages 6-10, but I’m going back to school (University of Gothenburg) after the summer. At least I hope so, if I get in.

* How did you find Beauty Fool?
I haven’t been following Beauty Fool for very long, but I think I found it when I was googeling something. I immediately liked what I was seeing, so I bookmarked it and have been reading ever since.

* Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
My other interests are photography, drawing, art, music and nature.

Hey Lotta! Wow, a reader from Sweden, how cool! :D I love your country. I visited Sweden some years ago and it was really nice, although a bit cold for me, I am so used to hot weather ;) What are you planning to study in uni?

Reply

Lotta June 22, 2010 at 02:29

What part of Sweden did you visit when you where here? Yes, it can be a bit cold, but I’m used to it, so.. :) I can imagine that there’s a huge difference from Singapore!
I was really surprised to hear that you actually have been to Sweden! How did you end up here? Because of your danish parent perhaps?
I’m planning to study to become an occupational therapist.

I’m Carine, 20, from France. I’m studying the english language but I normally finish my bachelor’s degree this year, and I’ll be studying international business next fall :)
I can’t remember how I find Beauty Fool. I’m interested in makeup and skincare stuff so I guess I typed something on Google that directed me to your blog. I’m happy i found it, since it’s written by an incredibly inspiring and kind person ;)
My interests ? I really like reading and watching series in my free time, along with hanging with friends or my bf. I also love, love music, particularly the electronic genre (dubstep, breakcore..). I’m always so thrilled to discover new mixes! I do some photography, I really enjoy working on the colours, perspectives…

ps: I have my exams resits these weeks and I’m very busy/stressed with revisions so sorry, I haven’t replied to your email yet. I’ve been very touched by why you told me though, and I’m gonna reply asap.

Renee June 21, 2010 at 15:21

Aw, bonjour Carine :) I am so glad you have found me too! It’s been real nice knowing you. :) Oh actually I didn’;t know you were studying English, your English is perfect, you really don’t need to study it! Will you be staying in France for international Business studies?

Oh and no worries about my email – I’m just glad to have shared that with you and that you read it! Take your time, I understand! :D Good luck with your exams!

What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
I have currently jsut left school offically and I have one more exam left – tommrow, physic’s :( – and I am looking forward to a long summer and then I am off to start 6th form.

How did you find Beauty Fool?
I can not actually remember, I think I goggled beauty blogs and stroled through mainly pointless pages until I finally found the perfect one, and I have never looked back haha!

Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
Arctic Monkeys – I mean I love them! I love arty things, and fashion! i have a secret love of biology, David Attenborough and Charles Darwin are two of my secret loves ha! I am in to football, and of course I love spending time with my best friends!!

Molly June 18, 2010 at 03:49

Oh and my other obsession the Twilight Saga and of course – Taylor Lautner! I can’t help it, its because I love teh character Jacob Black so much that I instantly fell in love with Taylor Lautner’s mouth watering good looks!

Reply

Renee June 21, 2010 at 15:23

Hey Molly! Nice to meet you :D

Bwahahah Taylor Lautner! If he wasn’t so young and I didn’t feel like such a perve, I would totally agree, he’s really cute! I like Jacob’s character more than Edward, though. So I guess you are Team Jacob like me? ;)

Oh Arctic Monkeys! I have heard so much about them but somehow I haven’t heard any of their music. I just know the singer is dating Alexa Chung, I think?

Your exams will be over by now, so I hope you are enjoying your summer! Are you doing anything special this summer? :D

Reply

Molly June 21, 2010 at 16:29

Team Jacob all the way! Yes he does, so love Alexa Chung so them togeather is like the perfect couple to me! I have your post about her saved in my favorites and I always go back to it for tips! Relaxing! Haa, i am going to a little festival later on in the summer but the weather is nice inEngland at the moment which is a nice change so I will be spending it at the beach. :)

Hm, well I’m 17 (18 in two days) I live in Denmark (well I’m danish, not such a big surprise..)
I found this page while trying to find out how to dye my hair bright orange and yellow… well you had a post about Hayley Williams, and well, her hair is VERY orange x)
I go to college in denmark and study music, film-making and english. I’m done in one year, and when I’ll try to get some jobs in the film industry. Hopefully get to make movies professionelly. I have a YouTube, you are all very welcome at rating, leaving comments and subscribing if you like what you see.. I’ll upload another movie as soon my internet is more stable. :)
I am a music addict, and I spend my time listening to music playin it (I sing, play bass, guitar, piano and kalimba – small african instrument.), drawing, traveling, making movies (a dancemovie will be up right after the denish music festival ROSKILDE in like 3 weeks),…. hmm.. I’m not sure what more to say. I think makeup is very importent to create a surtain image in for example a movie, but also it’s an artform :) like painting.
have fun at your holiday. Cheers everybody :D

Hey Luna! Yay, a fellow Dane! Which part of DK are you from? My family’s is from Copenhagen.

I am glad you found me thru my Hayley William’s post ;) I will most def check out your YouTube channel when I’m back home – I’m in Thailand at the moment using very slow Internet so I’m afraid watching videos will just freeze up everything.

And I never knew there were music festivals in DK! I’m half Danish but I only visit for a few weeks at a time each year so it’s quite hard not to be like a ‘tourist’ – I am not really aware of what’s going on in DK, as much as I want to be more ‘in touch’ with my Danish side :( Are there any rock music festivals? If there are I must research before I go back next time :)

I also go to school and I am working on my Bachelor’s in History. (Obviously my interests are far and wide!!) I found Beauty Fool on a random Google search and have been hooked ever since. I love to listen to music (almost all types), read, and watch movies.

Hey Demitra! :) Thanks for visiting! Wow, your interests really are far and wide, but I think that’s great! You seem really busy though, how do you juggle it all?! While I was 19 I was doing a diploma and an internship I would pass out by dinnertime, haha. You need to share some of your secrets, hehe ;) Still, kudos to you! I admire how much you do. :)

I am 24, pure chinese, living in sunny island that we hate, Singapore ! The weather can be so erratic these few days. Flash floods in Orchard!

I graduated with Comms degree and have been working in a local bank for almost a year! Working kinda sucks. No more long holidays or study breaks!

I chanced upon Beauty Fool when I was googling for local blogs touching on fashion and beauty. Guess you were – still are one of the top hits in SG!

I watched dramas and do photography when I have the time.

Chloe June 19, 2010 at 00:09

How old are you? Where are you from?
I’m 15 and come from England, South East. I live quite near London which I’m thankful for, I love the city :) . I am Chinese (parents are both from Hong Kong) and I can speak Cantonese and Hakka too.

What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
I’m in secondary school, Year 10. Alas no job right now, though I’ll probably find something next year so I can earn money whilst studying.

How did you find Beauty Fool?
I’m sure I was searching on Google (probably something to do with skin since I’m obsessed :S) and I stumbled across an article about skin on here and just spent a lot of time reading different posts.

Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
Music. I <3 it. I play piano, violin and can strum a few chords on a guitar. I love listening to music, my ipod is like my holy grail :D I really like films too, I'm probably the one who sits there reading a film magazine :) I like cooking too, it's fun and relaxes me and at the end of the day there's a big cake right on the table :P I like reading too (I'm also a Twihard ^-^) but I also have a thing for travelling. I'm lucky that I've had the chance to travel to quite a lot of countries. Plane, coach, train I don't mind, I just love the sheer fact I get to escape my normal surroundings for a few hours and discover something new.

Reply

Renee June 21, 2010 at 15:57

Hey Chloe! Oh I went to London last summer and it was heaven. :)

We seem to have quite a bit in common! First of all, my ipod is my best friend, LOL! i really, really love music too. :) I once had lessons in the organ and violin but gave it up – I was 9 and had no patience, haha! The violin is really hard to play, though, I’m glad you can play it! It’s such a beautiful instrument. I can’t speak Cantonese but I can swear very well and understand it when my mom’s family is talking, so I secretly listen in without anyone really knowing I can understand. Haha! ;) And i totaly agree with you about traveling – it’s so nice to just escape once in a while.

Oh and the most important question – Team Edward or Jacob?! ;)

How did you find Beauty Fool?
Um, maybe I saw it on a message board? I can’t remember, but it has been by far the best beauty blog and the only one I follow.

Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
Art, music, reading lots of books, being active, and on line “window shopping”.

Hey Ali, aw thank you so much for your kind words on my site! I am really glad to have you here :) And CONGRATS on your engagement! How nice to have found ‘The One’ already! When’s the big day? :D

Wow, I really admire you for all your hard work. All the best in school – and a Master’s, WOW! That’s really great. All the best in that :)

Meanwhile, we both share a love for online ‘window’ shopping, although recently I’ve been really bad and have been clicking ‘BUY!’ too many times…. Once you start you can’t stop! :-P

Thanks! Yeah I do remember that and I don’t miss having that type of conversation at all, do you!? And a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you as well! I’m currently working at a support desk doing some techy stuff that I don’t want to bore anyone to tears about hahha. I’ve actually had that job all throughout university. Actually, come to think about it, I’ve been working since I was 16!!!

And summers here get quite muggy. How’s life on that side of the world? I’m sure you’ll get something quite soon — it’s always when you least expect it that opportunities arise.

I’ll be taking some classes at Mass College of Art during break – which brings me to my interests and obsessions: my obsession being art. I started painting when I was five & never stopped. :) I also love music, reading, traveling, sociology & philosophy. I am very interested, verging on obsessed with history – plenty of different times & eras. And of course, make up. ;)
I don’t quite remember how I found Beauty Fool – but I’ve been checking it daily ever since! :D

Renee June 21, 2010 at 16:13

Hey Michaela. It’s really nice to know more about you, after talking for so long! :) How nice that you are an artist! Although I can assume from your love of History, but what kind of painting do you do? I draw, but I only like drawing female faces – so random, huh!? :-P I have no interest in anything else, haha! Do you have an online portfolio of your work?

Reply

Michaela June 23, 2010 at 02:42

I unfortunetly don’t have an online portfolio! And I do draw a lot of historical-type doodles, as well as whatever comes to mind. & that’s so cool that you draw as well! :)

Hey Renee! fun, fun! a get to know you post.
ok, so here goes
How old are you? Where are you from?
I’m 16 and I live in Sydney, Australia.

What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
I’m currently in high school, year 11, I don’t what the singapore equivalent is but this is my second last year of high school. I don’t really have plans to start working yet because I’m mainly focusing on my studies.

How did you find Beauty Fool?
I can’t really remember. About 2 years ago i stumbled across this website with brilliant if slightly unique Benefit Boi-ing Concealer Review, and to this day I’ve popped onto Beauty Fool about every two days unless i’m on holidays! (And i’m still looking for a place that sells Boi-ing concealers in Australia)

Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
I’m an avid reader, completely and totally obsessed. I also keep my eye on fashion blogs. But web aside I love my music collection which has everything from the soundtrack from Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera to the latest hits. And hanging out with friends is always great.

Forget to mention. Both of my parents are Chinese but I’ve grown up in Australia.

Hey Emma,

I was in International schools all my life so I know what Year 11 is. :) In fact, I too have no clue what the Singapore equivalent is, LOL! Shameful. :-P What are you planning to study for uni?

Oh wow – you’ve been here since the start! My Boi-ing concealer review was my very first post. Thank you so much for sticking with me for so long! I really appreciate your readership :D Does Australia not carry Benefit? :(

And I love fashion blogs too! Actually I love all blogs with beautiful pictures, good writing and a great blogger! Which are your favorites? I’m always looking for new blogs! :)

Reply

Emma June 23, 2010 at 18:40

Wow! Boi-ing was your first review. That is pretty cool. It’s a shame that Australia doesn’t stock Boi-ing but going to China in about 2 weeks :D so I’ll look for some over there.

For uni I’d love to do something finance based, it’s something that both my parents do so I’ve grown up around it and it’s something that I’m really interested in. But it’s a hard course to get it, but fingers crossed and there are other ways to get into the course.

Good blogs are hard to find, but there are two of my favourite beauty blogs (besides yours of course):
http://iblogbeauty.com/
I found this one through your site, so I don’t think it’s new to you but I love it because it has a diversity of posts and personal tips, not like some of the more ‘professional’ sites were applying foundation takes half an hour.
I also follow this blog for the same reasons
http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/
I haven’t been following it for as long but what I like what I’ve seen so far

Two fashion blogs I been following are
http://www.fashionising.com/blogs/
and
http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/
they have some pretty good pictures and cover a range of sources. I particularly like the first one. It has some amazing photos.

Hope you like them

australia actually does stock benefit ! i suggests you head into myer, as youre from sydney, try parramatta, chatswood, bondi or the one in sydney cbd. on the cosmetics floor you’ll definently find the benefit counter, thats where ive been stocking my benefit products for years. the cbd myer on pitt st also has the benefit brow bar, you should check it out asap =]=]

Hey Twin, so just for fun why don’t I “introduce” myself to you ;)
* How old are you? Where are you from?
I’m twenty-something years old and I’m half Sri Lankan, half Japanese.
* What do you do? Are you currently studying/working?
Most of my life revolves around college nowadays as well as exploiting myself (decently). Just today I got accepted into psychological science so I’ll be changing into that degree from international business (thank goodness!) which really isn’t my passion in life.
* How did you find Beauty Fool?
You told me about it and ever since then I’ve been stalking you (:
* Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests?
Oh, you should know these…although admittedly it isn’t exactly something we probably REALLY know about one another. Basics though you know, like Italian food, good music, staying in with a good book, animals etc.

I reckon this is a great idea (:

Renee June 21, 2010 at 16:25

Haha, well we’ve known each other for the last 15 years, but why not, introduce yourself! ;)

Ah cool, so you’re ditching business? So that means you’ll be in uni longer? How is it, btw? :)

True, we know the basics of each other but it’s been so long since we’ve lived in the same country so a lot is unknown. And what do you mean exploiting yourself decently?! Haha.

Hmm, I usually lurk or post as anon but noticed no one’s mentioned being from where I am, so I thought I’d add a country to your list of international followers. ;D

How old are you? Where are you from? Eighteen this year. New Zealand.
What do you do? Are you currently studying/working? Currently in my last year of high school.
How did you find Beauty Fool? Not one hundred percent sure though… Most likely through googling for beauty tips or something?
Other than beauty (I’m assuming!), what are your other obsessions/interests? Photography (which is where my beauty interest came from. I love looking at out-there fashion portraits), art/design (computer and hand-drawn), Japanese pop-culture (cosplay is an amazing arty and fun thing in my eyes), and well… food. But hey, who doesn’t like food? :P

Also, have fun in Thailand! I haven’t been there but it’s on my list of to-travel places with my friends. :)

Renee June 24, 2010 at 12:16

Hey Elly! Nice to meet you. I am really hoping to go to NZ sometime soon, it looks so amazing. One of my best friend is in university there and she loooves it. I’m hoping to visit her one year. Thailand is great too! I’ve been there many times and it never gets old. Since you love food, you will LOVE Thailand… the food there is awesome! :)

I love photography too but I’m more of an admirer more than anything – I can hardly work my own camera! Are you a photographer? What are you planning to do after highschool? ;)

Alejandra June 21, 2010 at 03:41

I am 16, and from the ‘states. I am a student, entering my junior year of highschool and still don’t know what I want to study in university.
I found BEAUTYFOOL when I stumbled up onto your Nutriganics post (kind of late, considering you’ve had the blog for 2 years!) I looked back on previous posts and fell in love with the blog :]
Other than beauty, I love to snowboard, play the drums, dance, go on adventures, read, to relax, run, play tennis, study new languages (Spanish, French, and learning Arabic:)) yoga, and playing on my brother’s x-box! I also love to travel and get to know other cultures; it is incredibly cool that you get to go to Thailand and are from Singapore. Aside from the continental US I’ve been to Hawaii and Mexico and that’s it!

Hey Alejandra! Better late than never, hehe! I’m glad you found me, it’s nice to meet you! I’m really happy to hear you like my blog :)

Wow, you do so much! What made you want to learn all those languages? I mean, it’s awesome, (I wish i could know many languages!) but there are so many, what made you want to learn Spanish, French and Arabic in particular? :) Arabic must be really hard!

I love to travel and learn about other cultures, too! I would love to go to Hawaii and Mexico. I haven’t been to your side of the world (yet!) but I’d really love to someday. The only thing is that it’s a loooong way there and I’m a bit nervous to fly. :-P

My family’s from Thailand! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been, but haven’t visited in over 7 years and miss it sooo much. What part of the country will be visiting? Have tons of fun! Oh, and DON’T drink the water. Buy bottled water only and make sure it’s sealed before paying for it. OH, and eat the street food!

And it’s still wonderful! And yep, I know about the water, thanks! :) I’m so paranoid I brush my teeth with mineral water haha. And OMG the food… heavenly. But of course I put on weight after only a week! The food is just too good. :)

I had no idea you were doing nursing! That’s so interesting. But is it scary? My aunt’s a nurse and I can’t imagine all the stress she goes thru!

I watched all those! Love True Blood and Glee. I am also watching The Tudors which is in their season 3 now. A tad boring now but Season 1 and 2 were good!

I also watched the usual Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl etc. Pretty much all the trashy shows but oh-so-addictive!

Hummm, I love watching tv and videos on youtube! Im addicted to tv series and crappy reality shows like Keeping up w the Kardashians, Giuliana and Bill, The hills. And tv series like Friends,2 and a half man,etc!!! I also looove fashion magazines, and besides make up Im VERY obsessed with cosmetics like perfume and body lotions. I love travelling, reading, learning new things, meeting new people, going out to dance…
*One quality: Im VERY honest, i mean it! And Im a good listener.

Deb, first of all…. WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY! Woohooo!! :D :D How awesome! So I’m a Virgo too.

Oh, fashion college! Are you planning to do fashion design, or…? I think one of my friend is doing fashion marketing right now and it seems really intriguing… there is SO much that goes into fashion!

Oh, I actually love Guliana and Bill too! I think that’s the only reality show I watch, they’re pretty funny! plus, I respect their work, they are very successful from hard work and I think that’s great. I was also a big fan of The Apprentice, which is where I started to know of Bill (he won season 1)!

I am absolutely obsessed with magazines – any kind! All my life I have loved magazines. Which ones are your favorites? I am looking for new ones ’cause I’m quite bored with my current ones, as I’ve been reading for so many years! (Did you know magazines ‘recycle’ their story ideas every 4 years? They update the info but it’s still the same topics so I see too many familiar stuff, so I want to find some new reads.) Any recommendations for me? :-P

YES! I LOVE music. And magazines and writing. My ‘ultimate dream’ is to write in a music magazine, so I can combine all my loves! :) Oh and Coldplay is really good. I love ‘Fix You’ and ‘The Scientist’. I liked them ages ago when they first came out but I am not sure why I haven’t kept up to date with their new music – I think I should check them out again! Thanks for reminding me :D

Hmm… I only like rock, punk rock, pop-rock, indie rock (I guess only rock, haha) so that’s the kind of music I play on guitar. I play acoustic guitar, so I play more of the slower songs. I used to have an electric guitar and bass but it broke, haha. I started out learning the classical guitar in music school so I played more of the ‘oldies’ rock songs but then I stopped classical because it’s for classical, ‘old fashion’ music and I like modern music more, haha! So for the last few years I have just taught myself electric and acoustic guitar. :) That’s so cool that you play the drums! My best friend does, but it;s not good for the neighbors, especially when you first start out! It’s very noisy XD What kind of stuff did you use to play? Were you ever in a band? :D

Reply

Deborah June 30, 2010 at 16:23

HAAA I cant believe we have the same birthday!!!!!!!!!! =D THAT´S SO COOL! No wonder why I love everything u post here and agree with everything hehe!! I always get along so well with people of my sign! That´s really nice to know :) !!!

Yeah, I wanna be a designer, or working in a fashion magazine, or at marketing, i mean there are so many options that I dont know where Im gonna end up. But I do like styling u know, specially for fashion shows, it would be so NICE!
And I also admire Giuliana and Bill! They work so hard!! I did watched some seasons of the Aprentice, but I dont remember Bill, I just knew that bc Giuliana said it! But OMG I cant stop watching, im totally in love with his smile, he is so my type of guy,so handsome, and definetly a great husband!! :) now im only watchin bc of him, and bc she is so funny ahhaha

I HAD NO IDEA that the magazines recycle the story like that, but it makes sense!!! I think that they are always giving THE same beauty tips, like “how to apply mascara”, “how to apply blush” I guess that´s why now Im so into blogs :) BUT sometimes I like to buy Elle, and I like LoveTeen, it´s sooo teenager haha but the clothes always inspire me to be more fun, because they editorials always have too much color!
I hate the magazines here, the only brasilian version that is good it´s the In Style one!
Right now im reading more online, Elle uk is very good!! Which ones have u been reading??

U would be great writing at a music magazine, u should tell us which bands do u like!
Im always looking for new music u know! But not “mtv new” kinda of music…
Ohh and coldplay it´s really good, their last album is very melancholic but great!
U started playing really young I guess!! I started at the age 14 and stopped at 17. It was really noisy haha!!!! But I loved it, and I never even got the chance to play in a band =/, do u play??? but i liked to play rock, at least i tried haha. Because my teacher (now he is my male BFF) is SUCH a rock star, he paint her nails in black, so u can imagine! He introduced me to bands like Disturbed, Jane´s Addiction, Prodigy, and other crazy great bands! What indie bands do u recomend??

xo :)

Hey Rene
My name is Sarah and I am waaait for it…….. DANISH (wuhu), i know you are too, so thats why i wanted to leave a comment.
I go to college in Denmark, but i graduate next summer (2012)
Sadly my obsession right now is mainly schoolwork (buhu) and when i am taking a break, ill watch videos on youtube and read blogs, in the weekends i go to parties at nightclubs and bars in Copehagen with my friends from school :D When i have the time i play my guitar, play saxofone with my dad, or the piano with my mom.
I saw the comment from Luna (also from Denmark), who talked about Roskilde Festival. You then asked if there is a rock music festival here too. I am happy to say that Roskilde actually is a rock festival! There is other genres at Roskilde, but it is mainly rock!
I have been to Roskilde since i was 15 (my parents wasnt happy about it, but after a lot of pressure from me and my friends i got to go, and i have been to Roskilde every year ever since). It is seriously the best week of the year! I highly recommend it, you should try it next time you go to Denmark!
Ohh btw i found your blog via. a danish magazine called “Costume skønhed”

You are so talented! :) You sound like a music fan and so am I! Which are your favorite bands? I would love to go to Roskilde Festival, it sounds so cool! When in the year is it? I usually go to DK in April every year… is there anything special going on that month? :) Normally when I go to DK it’s a bit rushed because I just visit family, so there’s not a lot of time to really look around… but next year I hope to stay in DK longer so I can discover more of my other half ;)

OMG and was I featured in a Danish magazine?! :D That’s SO amazing!!! Do you remember which issue it was? Because I would really love to have a copy… if you could tell me the issue month I can ask my family to buy a copy for me… :) :)

Thanks so much for your comment, Sarah, it’s very nice to meet you. :)

Keen to join!!!

I’m 16, going on 17 at the end of August and I was born in China (100% Chinese), but loved in Christchurch, New Zealand – where all the earthquakes are :P , all my life..basically
I’m currently in my second to last year of high school, working super hard to get into med school in two years time. I found BeauyFool from google searching some beauty tips stuff, if memory serves right, I was curious to know how to apply/take care of mascara – I’m a newbie to the whole make-up scene..I’m not a makeup person, generally, but I feel as if it’s a skill that every girl needs to know, at this age or something, and it’s for me to put on when I’m performing/competing and going out :)

I’m a pianist, been playing since age 5, and only just recently, I decided that it was time to buck up the nerve to perform and express my art. I love love loooove reading manga, listening to music, singing (choir music AND modern stuff), playing piano and butchering great classical pieces. So, I’m basically a Muso, or as I guess the Americans would call, “Band-geek” and proud of it! With music stuff, I’ve been singing/pianoing/fluting since, forever! I’ve been in choirs throughout my childhood, and playing in orchestras and concert bands/wind and brass bands. :D Alllso, I love all things French! Was in France a couple of months ago for a school trip, and let’s just say it was AMAAAAAAAAZING!!! I blogged about it…kinda, and have failed to update regularly (it’s incomplete coz I’m lazy like that)

I going through your blog, it’s really interesting and I agree with the whole self-love thing, and I’m proud to say that I love my body (finally) and love the way I look, I’m finally embrassing that :)

I know I’m super late on this but so much from your blog stuff that you write in your blog has to do with my life at the moment. I’m 16 and I’m from Canada but I’m currently living in Denmark as an exchange student. My parents are french and german immigrants to Canada so I’m a mix. I found beauty fool while googling about temporary (or fake) dreadlocks and a picture you posted hapenned to have this topic. I’m in love with travelling (I’m leaving to Italy in 2 days :D ), I love learning language (working on my 3rd and 4rth language right now: Danish & Italian) and fashion. Your blog is great, congratulations with all the success you have gotten with it ?
