I haven’t done a blogger tag in such a long time, remember when that used to be a thing? I lived for it! I loved doing tags on the blog as it was my way of taking a break from regular reviews, fashion edits and exploring, to expose my readers to a different side of me and let you know that it is in fact a person behind the keyboard and not a bot. I have been participating in random blogger tags since I started my blog back in 2012 and you can check them all out (if you like) – The Beauty Blogger Tag, The Beauty Blogger, Confessions Of A Blogger, The Lipstick Tag and The Beauty Tag. This is actually a Youtube tag but I decided to bring it over to my blog and here it is…
