TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk
I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush, so all credit is awarded to her.

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it?
I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like.

2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast?
My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for.

3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit?
I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive.

4. What is your quintessential British pastime?
I love visiting ruins/medieval sites of history. The most recent one I visited was Gunby Hall & Gardens and it was a beautiful day! I always feel very relaxed when I visit them and I wish more of those types of sites were cared for better.

5. What is your favourite British word?
I don’t really have a favourite British word, but one I use a lot is ‘twat’.

6. Explain Cockney rhyming slang!
Cockney rhyming slang is where common words are replaced with rhyming phrases, to make the words sound more fun and different. An example would be Apples & Pears, which means stairs. I don’t get why this type of slang exists, but it does nevertheless.

7. What is your favourite British sweet/treat?
I don’t eat as many sweets now (try not to); as I used to, but I love Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate (Oreo bar/giant buttons). I eat more chocolate than sweets, but I do like Bubblegum Bottles. They are not really one branded sweets, so you can really find them anywhere. Haribo do them and so do Tesco.

8. What would you call your British pub?
I would probably be more likely to open a restaurant or a hotel, but I think the name The Sailor’s Arms stands out, seeing as though I live by the sea!

9. Who is your number one British person?
I think it should be the Queen or Prime Minister, but I am in love with the Game of Thrones actress, Emilia Clarke. She is amazing as Daenerys Targaryen! I hope she does not become the series villain at the end!

10. What is your favourite British shop & restaurant?
I love British drugstores, such as, Superdrug and Boots and I mostly shop for make-up in them. My favourite restaurant is a local place called Wolfies Wine Bar. It is not a chain business, but the food is gorgeous and their prices are reasonable. For a chain of restaurants, I really like The Harvester, but I haven’t eaten in one for years!

11. What is your favourite British song?
When I was younger I was really into British pop bands like, Steps and SClub7. I would have to say at the moment, my favourite old-ish time British song is After The Love Has Gone by Steps.

12. Marmite?
YES! I like it on toast and when I was younger, I used to have it in my sandwiches (just with butter).

TAG you’re it!

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...
