11 things about me:
1. My friends nicknamed me Jools because they think I look like Emma Stone. So after Superbad came out, I have been called Jools ever since . It stuck but I don't look anything like her. (I bloody wish I did!)
2. I am almost twenty! This makes me sad, I don't want to grow up!
3. I am a vegetarian/Vegan. I don't eat anything with a face haha or anything containing geletin (This means no Haribos, cries). & I refuse to use any products that are animal tested i.e my toothpaste, dish/handsoap, washing powder, foundation are all cruelty free.
4. I am very passionate about cinema & actors. My friends refer to me as a walking version of IMDB because I know a lot of pointless trivia about films. Seriously I could win an award for that!
5. I would love to be an actress but I am too scared & I kick myself everyday for not giving acting a go.
6. My favourite writers are Leo Tolstoy, Edgar Alan Poe, Fyodor Dostoyevsky & J.K.Rowling (I am making my way through the Russian classics... I am secretly an 80 year old)
7. I am a huge fan of gothic things! Tim Burton is my hero.
8. I have 3 cats called Nurmal, Arnold & Edgar (Named after Edgar Alan Poe) & a retriever called Chewbacca
9. I am a secret nerd. I have a serious passion for Star wars. & Batman. & Spiderman.
10. I want to travel the WHOLE world & have an adventure.
11. I am collecting books for a library in my future house :)
1. What is the story behind your blog name?
Truth be told I am quite a tomboy. I bet you didn’t see that
coming with a blog name like mine
featuring a cute pink cupcake huh? I guess the wonderful blog Cupcakes & Cashmere is kinda a Mahoosive
influence behind my blog name. A very inspiring blog if you have never visited.
I do like my girly things now that I have gotten older but I
didn’t really know how to express it {Wearing
pink, lace & bows & such just does not suit me ;( } So I decided to
create a space where I could ramble on about the pretty things in life. Also It’s
great to have an outlet to communicate to other people about the things you
love when your friends at home are just flat out not interested in, so it’s a
great feeling to see that you can talk to lovely strangers around the world
instead ;)
This is a hard one! I
have changed my mind about career choices my whole life! First it was to
be a mermaid (my 4 year old dream), then an
artist, then an aromatherapist (I was 6, god knows why), then it was a marine
bio-ologist, then came fashion design, then a photographer, then make up
artist! So I have a few qualifications
in all of the above, minus mermaidian skills & marine biology… But now I guess I’m
hooked on running my own vintage shop, buying old clothes, furniture &
visiting old antique centres & things! I’m an old woman in a 19yo body I
swear!
4. Describe your best friend :)
Okay I have 4. Seriously we haven’t budged since nursery. So long story short -
{L-R Nathan, Kasey, Emily, Lucy}
There’s Kasey:
She is 5 foot, thinks she is Kanye West’s alter ego & at
this moment in time is crying because she wants Kanye’s solid gold Iphone case
& can’t have it. I love this girl more than life! We have gotten into so
much trouble (Project X kind of trouble, I wish I was kidding , seriously) that
I won’t mention on here! She also works in a biscuit factory & sends me
biscuits all the time, she’s a keeper!
Emily:
This girl & I can quote every Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar,
Harry Potter, Lord of the rings film word for word. Its very sad but for some
reason we take great pride in this. I love her sense of humour. She basically
taught me to not take life seriously & just laugh at everything. She is my
rock & I don’t know what I would do or who I would be without her. She can
even quote the elvish in Lotr I still can’t handle this. But here is the best
part (& you will all be like WTF) I have her nickname tattooed on my wrist.
Not even joking. I never turn down a dare & have her nickname to prove it,
she also has mine on her wrist. Yeah, we’re aware how ridiculous we are but it
was THE best night of my life & I can’t wait to be a pensioner with her
& show it to the youths! We plan to elope to Las vegas in a few years time. Queue all unfollows on GFC ;)
Nathan:
My gay best friend. I love this boy. He is ridiculously good
looking, a little geeky & the best person to be with on a night out (This
sounds like a dating ad…) He’s amazing & he & Emily are the reason I
have a great sense of humour & some
amazing memories. I love it when he picks me up in his old banger & we have road trips at 2am & go to find a beach in our jammies & his Homer Simpson slippers.
Lucy:
She has hamster cheeks. I love this. She is my girly
girlfriend who goes charity shopping with me & loves her fashion. She is
all about letting the good times roll & can barely make a cup of tea. She
cries at old people holding hands & loves Jane Austen & we have decided
that her first tattoo is going to say “What would Jane do?” In honour of Miss
Austen. She is bloody gorgeous & I love her to bits!
Wow… That was deep. Yeah I love these guys :3
5. Who is your favorite band/artist and why?
I don’t really have a fave band or artist… Don’t get me
wrong I love music but I’m not that passionate. Films are more my forte but I
mostly listen to anything off NME & youtube bands. None of friends
understand this. But I just prefer unknown bands, I like their style &
sound. But as of late (Turning into a hillbilly over here!!) I am loving
country music & I’m just kinda stuck on the band Middle East & Kings of
Leon. Oh the things I would do to catch a Followill brother!
I have a jumper from River island that is two sizes too big
& its one of those “comfort clothes” that I just chuck on when I have a cba
day. Very exciting.
Laidback, Happy, determined.
I am very chilled out. I don’t get stressed at all &
always see & find the positive side of a situation. I always smile, I was
told that it makes your brain happy (or I could have made that up…). My mother has
told me I am determined/stubborn/independent 3 times a day. Since I
was born.
8. What advice would you give to someone who wants to start blogging?
Blog
about what you love! Don’t get stressed out over it, turn it into something
that you enjoy & makes you happy. Don’t let it become a chore because all
the fun goes out of it :(
9. If you could be anyone/anything for a day who or what would you be and why?
A remarkable scientist. Who could make a time machine &
turn back time so I could write Harry Potter & become a Billionaire. Or my
cat, Edgar, because he is cute, has a pot belly & doesn't care & sleeps all day
& I could easily do/have all that.
10. If you had one magical power what would it be and why?
Invisibility.
I would have so much fun. I am getting excited just thinking about it :’)
11. If you could visit one place where would it be and why?
Las Vegas with my friends. We have to do it. It would be The Hangover 3.
My 11 questions for those I've tagged:
1. What is your favourite book?
2. What is your happy/favourite memory?
3. What are your fears?
4. A film you love
5. If you had 3 wishes...
6. Do you have any Song lyrics that you like/are meaningful to you?
7. Something you would do if you had the courage
8. What is a goal you have in life?
9. If you won the lottery what would you do?
10. Do you have an object i.e clothes, jewelry, heirlooms that are priceless to you?
11. A favourite fictional character
Thank you again Claire!! <3
