I have a bit of news for you. From time to time I'm going to start adding videos into my blog. Sometimes it's just easier to show a product, or a product in action in person (on video through the screen in person that is!!) rather than in pictures so I will be doing this using the platform...... you guessed it! My You tube Channel - FitzAndBitz


I have some video's on there from when I gave it a go last year if you want to check them out. In the meantime, I have just filmed my (second) first video of it being as part of my blog.

Hey everyone!

So  I was tagged by Lauren - Gotta Love A Trier. Thanks chick! So the point of this tag is to share with everyone 10 things you love. (I hate saying "love" when it's not actual LOVE - I love James, Cathal and my family, material items, but anyway!) I'm going to be fairly specific in my choices rather that give one broad answer like "food" "make up" etc - I think it might be more interesting! Also i'm not going to mention that I love my friends or family cause obvs I do - well I suppose not, but I do! So here we go!

One
Pizza
(google images)

This is certainly my favourite food. The question occasionally pops up in various conversations "if you had to live on one food for the rest of your life what would it be?" Pizza is what comes to my mind straight away so I consider that as being my food love! Not fussy with toppings - but I do not like pineapple on pizza!

Two
My Phone
(meteor.ie)

I LOVE this phone. It is the best (and most expensive) phone I have ever owned. Its the HTC Desire. If you're not familiar with HTC - it's a brand that makes hi tech mobile phones. The phones run on Android which is basically Apple/iphone's competition. I love the phone, the layout, the endless options of being able to customize screens and apps amongst other things! Just love it! I get all my emails, Facebook and twitter notifications immediately!

Three
Candles
(google images)

I love burning candles in the evening. I love the way they can completely change the mood in a room or at a certain time, I love the smell and I love turning off the lights and just having the natural flicker of the flame in the room. (Also just to add, i'm currently on the hunt for my perfect scent from Yankee Candles. I have a post HERE if you'd like to let me know your fav!)

Four
Blusher.
(google images)

I think blusher can completely brighten and freshen the look of any face. I feel as though my face is not completely done until I have something on my cheeks!

Five
Boots
(asos.com & shopstyle.com)

I'm more of a boots person that a shoe person - be they high, flat, wedged, propper boots or shoe styled boots - I love em! At the moment I'm particularly loving laced boots. I find them so versatile, comfortable and easy to wear. I think they add a bit of edge to an outfit, which I like as I'm not a typical girly girl!

Six
Rings
(google images)
(own images)

I love wearing rings. I've worn them since I got my first proper ring for my communion. I have never been without one since. I don't always wear dressy rings - I have my smaller staple rings - some of which I have been wearing for years - all silver. I feel naked without them.

Seven
Drinking wine while getting ready to go out. 
(google images)

It's not so much the alcohol intake I like - more so the social aspect of it. Getting all dressed up, putting on my make up while having a glass of white wine on hand is what I love. To me it seems femenine, a kind of a girls bonding thing and other than that it's kind of hard to explain! (I also love wine while being out for dinner/Wathching tele/reading a book and in gerneral!!)

Eight
Baby Feet
(google images)

This is weird but I love baby feet. They're so teeny and chubby and pretty and lovely. It's ironic though because I despise feet (more so toes) otherwise. I even have a picture of Cathals feet framed!

Nine
Reading
(marilynmonroecollection.com)

I do love reading but I can't specify what category I like the most as I enjoy and read a lot of different types of books. Summer seems to be the time I read the most. I love lying out and getting lost in a story. (This photo is perfect because I'm currently reading "Marilyn Monroe" by Barbara Leaming.

Ten
Stationary.
(google images)

I recently had this discussion with Viva Adonis and Saloule - who too, are stationary fanatics. I would happily waltz around Easons for a few hours looking at everything! I have been known to buy notebooks and pens for absolutely no reason. I particularly love vintage/Celtic looking notepads and diary's!

So there's 10 random things I love. I challenge you to be random when choosing your ten things!! 

I tag:


And of course YOU if you're reading this :)

Hallo all!

I was tagged by Sinead over at Viva Adonis to do the 4 Product Challenge. This involves whittling down (like my Take Me Out reference!!?) your make up products to just 4 to wear for the day. I didnt find this too hard. To be honest I don't have much of a problem going out with nothing on my face - That probably has something to do with me being fairly happy with my skin - I thankfully have never suffered with Acne etc. But in saying that I have included foundation in my list!! Here goes!! My first 2 would be my 2 ultimates that I would be happy to use alone!

 

1. Blusher

I think this would be top of my list. I love the way it can completly change the colour (obviously!) and dimensions of my face. I feel it makes me look alive. Without it I feel just...plain. It brightens up my face and adds life. I have been loving my Benefit - Coralista. Bourjois - 34 Rose d'Or and Elf - Merry Berry.




2. Lipgloss

I was trying to decide between gloss or lisptick but I went with lipgloss as it adds shine as well as colour. I feel by using these two items alone - blusher and lipgloss -  I would tie my hair back in a high twist or bun and it screams simplicity and elegance, I love the way a gloss can emphasive and enhance the size of my lips and as I said adds colour too. Some I have been using alot recently are below:
 (Got this first one before it was released from one of the lovely girls in the Bourjois Office)

L-R - (New)Bourjois Effet 3D -01 Beige Elastic, Bourjois Effet - 34 Rose Mythic & 33 Brun Poetic, Sexy Mother Pucker (by Soap & Gloary - Pink Apricot, GOSH Lipgloss - 0068, Urban Decay Lip Junkie - Peroxide, Essence XXXL Nudes - 01 Pure Beauty, and Barry M - 5 Bubblegum Pink


3. Black Eyeliner

I think it's my top product for my eyes. It adds definition and even though black can sometimes "close" the size of your eyes, at the same time if i wear a black eyeliner I am immediatly drawn to look at them. Also I could smudge it out as an eyeshadow to cheat!! I've been using Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen and Urban Decay 24/7 in Zero from my Naked Palette.



4. Foundation

If I had to chose a 4th I suppose it would be between mascara or foundation so I went with this. I feel that by having the black liner my eyes are emphasized enough, and foundation can make me look more polished. Even though I said I am happy with my skin I can sometime feel a bit naked without it. I use it mainly to cover freckles or little veins. And of course under my eyes. Currently I'm using Mac Studio Fix Fluid in NW20. It's grand, good coverage, ok to blend but i'm def not blown away by it. I find it to be a bit too industrial smelling and feeling!! I have tried Bourjois Healthy Mix and loved it. I'm currently eyeing Chanel Pro Lumiere after seeing Pixiwoos vid on Chanel Foundations.

15 February 2011

Ok, so I was tagged by fellow-blogger Katie Elisabeth in her latest You Tube Video so I decided to do it here on my blog. If you are into YT vids,  then I def recommend checking her out as she does great reviews, make up looks and hauls and she has also recently started her Vlog Channel, which I am addicted to!! So the tag - as you may well guess! - is for you to get to know me a bit better. There are 21 questions, so here goes!

1.     Are you named after anyone?
Nope! I’m a complete original! As far as I know my oldest sister loved the name and my mother went with it. Thanks Susan!!

2. When was the last time you cried?
Unfortunately, the last time I cried was about 2 weeks ago and it was at the funeral of a friend. I actually remember feeling so unbelievably guilty for crying, as I can only imagine what the actual family were going through. Things like this always put things into major perspective for me and I really do try to appreciate everything and everyone I have in my own life. I haven’t cried since because of it and once something like that happens it will rarely leave my mind within days or even weeks, it stays with me. Not in a horrible way but it focuses me on life. I’m the type of person who thinks a lot, in fact I would say I’m an over thinker, but I defiantly take the time to process things in my head and take a look at my own life. I think many people talk about and think far too much about what they don’t have, rather than what they already have in their lives. It’s just a shame that something so freak and horrific like this has to happen, for the human race to sit up and take notice. So that’s the last time I cried :(

3. Do you have kids?

I certainly do!! Well, one, which is enough for now!! His name is Cathal and he is 5 since December. He started school this year....well, last year..... Oh you know what I mean, 2010!! That freaked me out completely because I realised that he was actually a developing HUMAN BEING!!! Well obviously I knew he was real but just the fact that I am responsible for how this little fellow grows up is a big responsibility! It’s cool now though. I get to see him learn how to read and write, make new friends and develop his personality for the rest of his life! Some of the stuff he comes out with is gas – a lot of it from his 2 Grandads’! He’s like an old man himself at heart which is adorable. He’s quite a boy’s boy, but he definitely knows when he needs his Mom! He’s a little legend!! Here are some pics:
 
 



4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
I know everyone says yes to this question but if I’m being 100% honest I’m not sure if I would!!! HA!! At least I can laugh about it!! Now I’m not saying I’m a horrible person and there wouldn't be a hope in hell I’d even say hello to myself on the street!!! But, it’s just that sometimes I’m aware that I may come off as a bit stand-off-ish. It’s not as though I’m protecting myself from being hurt – it’s more so I don’t want to let the wrong type of person be a part of my life, so I’m just wary of people I guess. I suppose it’s a trust thing. I think it needs to be earned. I’m not just going to be friends with you just because you’re being nice to me. I’ll be polite but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I need you to be my friend forever!! I’m being really critical here and.....ironically... over-thinking this, but I do know I can be a bit guarded. But if you are my friend it’s a completely different story. If you’ve a feeling I like you, then you’re probably right because if I didn’t like you, you’d know it!! ;)

 

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Ah.......................................NO! Next question!

6. Will you ever bungee-jump?
YES! If I am ever in a location that it would be possible then defiantly! I’ve been skydiving in Prague and it was one of the most surreal and amazing things I have ever done in my life, after giving birth and falling in love!!....awh!
 

7. What's your favourite cereal?
Am, I like Special K, Start, Crunchy Nut.... that kinda thing!

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Hair, teeth, eyes, in that order, for both male and female!! And babies... apart from the teeth..and actually eyes first!!

9. What is your eye color?
Mostly Blue!! Kinda amber around my pupils with a brown dot in my right eye! Let me show you!


10. Scary movie or happy endings?
I go through phases. I used to love scary ones but I freak myself out too much afterwards by thinking I’m seeing people in glass reflections, mirrors, shadows etc! Happy endings...meh! Ya they’re nice. I actually think I prefer sad endings... it makes you remember a film.

11. Favorite smells?
Berry smells,. I love milk and honey hand soaps, coconut-ey sunscreen, vanilla, baby smells (I know what you’re thinking...stop it!) and Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy and David Beckham-Intimately...on James obv! And his Hugo Boss one whatever it is!!

12. Summer or winter?
Winter

13. Computer or television?
Computer. It’s more a less my life. I work on it, play on it, save memories and blog on it. And watch television programmes on it!



14. What's the furthest you've ever been from home?
 That would be New York. I've been to New York, Prague, Brittany-France, Tenerife, Paris and London

15. Do you have any special talents?

I’m pretty good at twisting things.... as in word or opinions. Like if someone has an opinion and mine is the opposite I’m pretty good and being able to make the other person understand/change to my opinion. Not that I do it on purpose, but I’m usually quite good with words.


16. Where were you born?

Cork (bai!!!)


17. What are your hobbies?

Blogging, reading, watching films, trying different foods (when I can, which is rare because of my dam boyfriend being a ridiculous eater!) and socialising with friends and family. I love being on my own though – listening to music or going for a walk or whatever.


18. Do you have any pets?

No L *Sob. I desperately want a black pug though!!


19. Favourite movie?

Oh god this is hard. Ok, there is no way I can pick one, top of my list are, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Enough, Taken, Gran Torino, Don’t Say A Word.


20. Do you have any siblings?

Yes, I have 4 sisters, 2 older and 2 younger.


21. What do you wanna be when you grow up?

Hmmm... I’m still not completely sure. I like what I’m doing in college at the moment which is Social Studies. Maybe something like a social worker? I’d like that because I get to deal with people and it involves office-ey things like paperwork and computer work. I always imagined myself with a job that I had my own desk! Just not too sure where the desk is situated yet!



BAM!! That's it! Sorry if it was too long. I love doing things like these! Hell I even love filling out questionnaires for randomers!! Thank you so much for reading this. I tag the following:
