Survey Sunday - October 14th 2012

Oh my goodness I've been so so busy I'm so sorry! I really need to start scheduling posts, I think I will really try to do that from now on. For some reason I always liked the idea of spontaneously writing posts then immediately posting them, but it makes sense to write a few when you have time and schedule them. 

So my apologies lovely people, I will get my act back together soon I promise. I have a long list of posts in the pipeline, so I will find the time to get them happening.

Here's a random cute picture of my bunny snoozing to help apologise for my lack of posting lots lately! Isn't she the cutest!! :P



I hope all of you had very lovely weeks and weekends. I just switched teams at work for my first ever graduate rotation (we do four in two years), so that's been pretty hectic. It's good though because my new rotation is more in line with what I want to do and less stats/numbers based. So fingers crossed this will be a good change for me :)

Anyway on to this week's batch of Survey Sunday questions:

1. What's your favourite Disney film? 
It's a tie for me between Aladdin and Cinderella. I was so carried away by the magic and rags to riches ideas of both of these as a child. Plus I loved Jasmine and the Genie, and that glass slipper!

2. What's your morning makeup routine? 
After cleansing and moisturising, I usually use mineral powder foundation (or a sheerer liquid if I have more time), blush, eyeshadow and mascara. Occasionally I'll add in some bronzer or eyeliner if I have the time.

3. Are you a coffee or tea person? 
I'm a tea girl all the way. Can't stand coffee. I drink English Breakfast with a bit of milk, and go through about 3-4 cups a day!

4. What skincare products/brands do you use?
I currently use Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish, Liz Earle's Instant Boost toner, and Clarins HydraQuench Cream. 
I sometimes alternate (or use in the mornings) Dermalogica products such as the Essential Cleansing Solution, the Multi-Active Toner, the Skin Smoothing Cream, and the Gentle Cream Exfoliant. I also sometimes use the the Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase or the Dior One Essential Skin Boosting Super Serum.

5. What's your star sign? 
Leo... rarrr! I don't believe in star signs etc, but the traits associated with Leo seem pretty spot on for me. And it's fun to read them occasionally in the paper/magazines.

6. What exercise do you do?
Recently I've started a bit of a health kick, and I've pleasantly surprised myself a bit with my ability to keep it up! I do weekly circuit type sessions with my friends every Sunday morning, and during the week I try to do 2 or so exercise DVDs. 
I find Jillian Michael's DVDs to be the best for quicker workouts that really deliver results and make you work up an enormous sweat. And the muscle burn the next day is proof that these DVDs do really work. I've done posts on her 30 Day Shred and my Spring Health Kick if you want more information.

7. What are you most looking forward to over the next week?
Tonight I'm seeing one of my uni friends for dinner and to see the new Wuthering Heights movie with Effie from Skins in it, so that should be fun! I'm also looking forward to seeing Taken 2 with my boyfriend at some stage this week, having lunch with my grad friends at work, celebrating my best friends birthday on Wednesday night and celebrating my Mums birthday next weekend.

  1. I love doing these Sunday Surveys!

    1. What's your favourite Disney film?
    I don't have one. I don't think I've seen many and I definitely don't remember any.

    2. What's your morning makeup routine?
    Eyeliner and concealer. I prefer to sleep so I actually do this on the train on my way to work or uni.

    3. Are you a coffee or tea person?
    COFFEE! I can't live without my coffee! I used to work in a cafe and now I'm dependant on it.

    4. What skincare products/brands do you use?
    I haven't found a skincare product or brand that's really worked for me but currently I'm using Dermalogica clearing skin wash and the daily microfoliant. I also used the gentle cream exfoliant the other day and I loved it but it was only a sample size.

    5. What's your star sign?
    Scorpio

    6. What exercise do you do?
    Absolutely none! I'm on my feet 7-8 hours a day at work so the last thing I want to be doing is doing any exercise. I also have no stamina and appalling fitness levels but I refuse to exercise!

    7. What are you most looking forward to over the next week?
    Finishing off my last uni assignments! I can't wait for the holidays!

    1. Oh yay glad you enjoy them :) I love doing them too!! :P
      You've never seen a disney film! Whaaat! Go see one/all of them immediately!
      Doing your makeup on the train is a good time saver tip, but my trains are so packed I wouldn't have room :( I hate Melbourne's public transport system :(
      Cool do you like those Dermalogica products? The daily microfoliant made my skin burn after using it once, which can't be good so maybe I'm allergic to it :S
      Good luck finishing those uni assignments! x

  2. Aw, no worries about the gap in posts - I have missed your updates, though!

    Here are my answers:

    1. What's your favourite Disney film? The Lion King - gets me every time :)

    2. What's your morning makeup routine? Cleansing, moisturising, suncreen, concealer, powder, some chapstick and lipstick/lipgloss. I'll occassionally use eyeliner and mascara if I feel like it.

    3. Are you a coffee or tea person? Neither, oddly enough! I mean, I don't dislike either of them, but I don't have them very often. If I had to choose though, I'd say tea (the herbal kind).

    4. What skincare products/brands do you use? I love Clean and Clear, and swear by their face wash and moisturiser. And I really like the Nivea brand in general, and use their make-up remover every day.

    5. What's your star sign? Aquarius

    6. What exercise do you do? I've been meaning to get into a regular exercise routine, but am yet to join the gym! I do walk for over an hour every day, so I suppose that counts for something until I get a routine in place!

    7. What are you most looking forward to over the next week? I joined this Meetup group online and there are a couple of them scheduled for this week. This is actually the first time I'll be doing something like this, but since I don't know anyone else in this city, I figured this would be the best place to start! Let's see how it goes. :)

      Nivea is amazing for it's makeup remover, love it. Definitely that amount of walking counts for something, nice work!
      What's a meet up group? Cool you should blog about your experience doing that or something maybe! Hope it goes well :D x

    I fill in my eyebrows, put on lots of mascara, winged eyeliner, blush and under eye concealer. :)

    I'm currently using a combination of Simple products and Boots Botanics.

    I walk to and from the bus stop every day... ok, I should do more exercise. Haha.

    I have no plans and therefore nothing to look forward to... how sad is that!

    1. Hehe she is very cute :P I haven't actually seen Mulan! I really need to! The character is currently on Once Upon a Time and I'm confused because I don't get the character. I'll put that on my to do list! :P Yes I agree with you there about the hot choc. That and vanilla chai. Haha how far is the bus stop? :P
      Awww well maybe just chilling and doing nothing is something to look forward to! I know i'd look forward to that, rather than having to work every single day! hehe xx
