TAG: Confessions of a Beauty Blogger


Salama,hi, hello, hola, aloha, bonjour, lovely people over the internet!
Since its been a while since I did any tag on my blog so I said to myself(ok,i talk to myself, im not the only one who does it:P): " hey olive oil, you havent done a post since the new year started. Maybe you shoulddo a tag? "
Why, yes I will! And since i was tagged in the Confessions of a Beauty Blogger tag, here it is!

1. How many hours a week do you spend writing/editing your posts?
For every post, it takes me like an hour or maybe an hour and a half to write it. If it involves research, and is long then try to take my time and finish in like 4-5 hours.

2. Are you a spender or saver?
I guess I'm a little of both.

3. When is it easiest for you to blog?
 Definitely on weekends. Cause Im not that caught up with school and homework and stuff.

4. What makes writing posts comfortable for you?
Because its when I can sip on my hot chocolate or eat my orange and express my love for writing, makeup, fashion, lifestyle and food all combined together with all you big bags of awesome. :)

5. What is your worst makeup/hair habit?
I'm lazy when it comes to hair brushing. I don't wash my makeup brushes as regularly as I should and sometimes I'm too lazy tired to follow my skincare routine. -wow thats alot, Oliveoil!

6. What is one quote you wish the world would live by?
Lets just make a list: 
1. "To keep silent is better than telling a bad thing"- Prophet Muhammad (SAWW)
2. "Believe you can, and you're halfway there"
3 . "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"

7. How long do you spend getting ready everyday?
Well, it depends. If its for school, I'd take like 10-15 minutes. Otherwise, I take half an hour or up to an hour to get ready.
