Morning lovelies…
As another weekend races towards us I find myself getting enticed by the notion of a cheeky little ‘me spree’. Rummaging through my stash of skincare lotion & potions last night I seem to have stayed pretty stagnant with night creams & toners. As much as I love my staple Olay range it’s time to change things up a gear and branch into new & unknown territory. Clearly the inner beauty blogger is crying out for exciting new products to use & review. Any drug store recommendations welcome gals!
Talking of recommendations – here’s a blog you should all be flocking too as the lovely Mali joins us today for a quick chatter about her super chic online haven, Bramble & Blossom. Being a cosmetic craver (like most of us) Mali’s blog is literally awash with beauty goodies & detailed reviews on a wealth of sassy products! Stylish & talented, this is certainly one blog buddy to add to your ever expanding list of must-reads!
Cuppa in hand? Then let’s meet Mali….
In only 5 words describe what readers can expect from your blog?
A VERY quirky beauty blog!
.
What inspired you to start blogging?
Well, I played the Swedish MMO Star Stable Online and decided to blog about that. Then I heard about Zoella and thought “Well, beauty is my thing!” So I started blogging.
.
Tell us about your blog name… what made you decide on it?
I LOVE blackberries. They are commonly known as brambles, and next to my grandmother’s blackberry bush is a rose bush… I also love the sound of bramble and blossom together.
.
Do you ever suffer from Blogger’s Block & if so how do you overcome it?
Yes. I do suffer from it, and to overcome it I recommend getting out your camera and taking pictures of ANYTHING until an idea hits you.
.
What’s your favourite post to date?
Hm. Probably my Make Up For Ever lipstick review.https://bramblenblossom.wordpress.com/2015/07/17/make-up-for-ever-lipstick-review/
.
Describe your everyday clothes style:
Stylish, boho, and casual.

How do you like to relax & unwind after a stressful day?
Tumblr, doing my nails, and blogging.
.
Describe your ideal Saturday night:
At home with the cats, cooking up a nice dinner, and laughing about something with my sister.
.
What do you do to relax?
I make myself a nice cup of tea, sit down for a bit, and read.
.
Everyone has their bad habits, what’s yours?
Hm. Probably picking off my nail polish. Once it chips I can’t help myself!
.
What’s your most cherished childhood memory?
Having sleepovers at my grandparents’ house. My grandmother would look my favourite foods, draw me a bubble bath, and when it got late she would put on a movie for me to watch.
.
What was your favourite school subject?
I’m still in school, but I LOVE science!
.
What’s your dream job?
Being an actress, singer, or director- I love making movies.
.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Still in school, hopefully with some career laid out.
.
What top 5 things are on your bucket list?
Go to Paris, meet Taylor Swift, go to Australia (it may happen in a few years, eep!), go to London, and travel the world.
.
What’s your biggest achievement to date?
Winning first division in a music competition. I play the violin.
.
Who inspires you?
Bill Gates, Taylor Swift, my parents, and my teachers.
.
Do you have a favourite inspirational quote?
