#SBBC Day 11: How I Got My Blog Name

Finding a blog name can be really hard. I know when I first thought of starting a blog, I couldn't decide on a name. It was actually hubby who said why not call it after yourself. This was back in the days when I was on wordpress. Anita's Beauty Blog served me well, it was simple and there was no need to ask what my name was.

 

When wordpress decided to close my blog without even notifying me, I knew I wanted to keep the name in my move to blogger. Unfortunately the name Anita's Beauty Blog was taken. I'm not going to lie, I panicked ever so slightly because I really wanted to keep my name somewhere in the blog name.

 

I toyed with lots of different ideas but the one I kept coming back to was Anita's Beauty Spot.

 

 

It just kind of called to me. It had me name and I thought Beauty Spot was good to go for as I like to think of the blog as a place readers can come to for all their beauty bits.

 

If you were to start a beauty blog what would you call it or if you are a fellow beauty blogger how did you decide on your name?

 

 



#SBBC Day 10: Beauty Pet Peeves

Today I'm talking about Beauty Pet Peeves. These are five things that happen to me on occasion that really frustrate me.

 

 

• Having perfectly clear skin when I have a few days off only to wake up for work with a spot magically after appearing overnight.
• Spending ages painting my nails only for it to chip or smudge five minutes later.
• Resorting to using face wipes because I've run out of cotton wool or cleanser.
• Being out and about only to realise I have no lipstick when I have a million lipsticks at home.
• Spend ages straightening my hair only to go out and it starts raining - Curly Hair Syndrome soon follows

Do you share any of these or do you have any different ones?

 

 

#SBBC Day 7: Fantasy Dinner Party

When I first saw this topic, my mind wondered to all the cute actors and singers out there. Then, I remembered I am a married woman and mother so I should probably be a bit more responsible and focus on a mix of people.

 

 

Of course, my first guest would be hubby. I couldn't leave him out besides he is a chatterbox and would keep the guests entertained while I was serving the food. Next up would be Jon Bon Jovi, I love his music so he could help with the entertainment no end. Then I would say Marilyn Monroe, I've always been obsessed with her and would love to know more about her.

A more recent female I would have in attendance would be Sharon Osbourne, I know she is not ev3eryones cup of tea but I love her, Then I would have to invite Michael Mc Intyre, both me and hubby think he is hilarious. Ok so I have to have a little bit more eye candy and that would come in the form of Alexander Skarsguard ( Eric In True Blood)

 

 

Foodwise,  I would serve an Italian feast starting with a platter of different meats and chesses, next up I would share my infamous Bacon and Leek pasta, then for dessert I would serve a Strawberry Cheesecake with some summer fruits. This is another firm favourite in my house. Then for after dinner the Grappa would be shared.


If you were to have a fantasy dinner party who would you invite?

#SBBC Day 9; Incorporating Colour

Firstly apologies for not posting over the weekend, the little man has been a bit sick so I've been on mummy duty. I'll bring you the topics for both Day 7 and Day 8 later in the week.

 

 

I'm pretty much a brown or black smokey eye and natural better than me lip shade so when it comes to incorporating colour, I tend to use nail polish. One week , I could be wearing a neon pink, the next a bright blue or even a luminous yellow.  I love experimenting with coloured polishes. Here are just a few of my favourites.

 

 

• NYC Lexington Yellow
• Illamasqua Collide
• Rimmel Salon Pro Sea Green
• OPI Blue My Mind
• Essence Colour and Go Ultimate Pink
• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Kook A Mango

What ways do you incorporate colour?
