List 5....

5 best beauty tips you know of /ever received

Tiny bit of white liner blended under the front of your bottom lip, makes them look a bit fuller
Sleep with a small amount of Vaseline on your eyelashes
Savlon for spots
Straighten hair upwards otherwise it can look flat
A smile makes your eyes look brighter!

5 beauty things you regret doing (think bleaching your own hair)
 
Most of these were in my teens, and yes, I did learn from my mistakes;

1) The (very tight) perm I had when my hair was very short.
2) Using oil to try to get a suntan, like actual cooking oil/baby oil!!
3) Having a much-too-short fringe with a very blunt bob... not a good look on me.
4) The white foundation/face-powder and orange lipsticks combo I wore for the best part of my teens.
5) Shaving the sides of my shoulder length hair at home. It seemed like a good idea at the time, I wanted to look like the girl from Bow Wow Wow, as if, and not only did I look ridiculous, I was also grounded for doing it!

Your 5 favourite holiday memories.
 
1) Last year in Egypt. Made some great friends! Had the funniest hour of my life out on the Pedalos with them
2) Snorkeling in Egypt last year! Amazing sea life and was brave enough to jump in off the boat...lol..
3) Crete. The best ever trip. A Jeep Safari fantastic day.
4) Majorca. Not the best holiday ever, but made some great friends.
5) Newquay on honeymoon surfing and long strolls along the cliffs :)

5 Best holidays ever!...lol..
 
Canada - Toronto and Vancouver and an RV in the rockies.
New York - short break, but I just love that city!
Holy Island (Lindisfarne) - it doesn't matter how many times I go, or how bad the weather is, it's still my favourite place in the world.
Poros - Greek Island trip with my sister, years ago. Started off my love of Greece and its islands. I'd go there any time.
Honeymoon (ish) - driving around lots of countries of Europe, taking three weeks, and just stopping where we wanted

5 TV characters you're really glad aren't in your life.
 
1. Janice from Friends - the annoying voice grates on me!
2. Faye from Coronation Street - she's whiney and pouty
3. Any character played by that guy who created The Office (can't remember his name, but he infuriates me!)
4. Ian Beale. Dear lord that man wheeps and wails seemingly constantly!
5. Any of the characters created by Catherine Tate. Again, I find her really irritating.
