My style icon: Betty Boop! Hahaha just joking. On a serious note, I look up to Katy Perry. It’s not that I want to dress like her but she can still look fab on very colourful , “out of this world” outfit yet still look good on simple jeans and t-shirt!

Dream holiday destination: Paris, what more can I say? I’d love to be in the romantic city!

One random thing you can find in my bag: Band-aid!

My favourite item of makeup: Eyeliner

You will never see me without: Lip Balm

I’m absolutely addicted to: Coffee!

One thing on my bucket list: Create my own makeup line! Okay, that’s more of a dream but I’m putting it up as a bucket list so it will be a goal of mine! *dreaming*
