Sunday Social

Hey everyone! I know I've been terrible at blogging lately, and I'm so sorry about it! I've been dealing with wedding planning stuff and it seems like there aren't enough hours in the day for all the things I want to do. Please forgive me, once the wedding and honeymoon is over, I'll get back to a normal writing schedule. For now, I'll do a Sunday Social. Here are the questions this week!

1. What is the name of your blog?
Skin Stuff by Katy

2. What do you love most about blogging?
I love skincare and makeup and I love having the creative freedom to write about what I love. I've also come across so many awesome blogs and people from it

3. Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging because I had been watching beauty videos on Youtube for a long time. It's been kind of a dream of mine to do beauty videos, but I was incredibly shy so I started a beauty blog instead. I do have a few videos up on Youtube actually, but they're horrible quality, and my old laptop doesn't work right now, so I can't even film anything

4. What is something you'd want to tell someone just starting out in the blogging world?
I still feel like a newbie myself with my blog being only a year old, but don't focus on numbers, just write about what you love and the rest will follow eventually

5. Biggest blogging learning experience you've had?
For me, it was actually not to focus on numbers. When I started my blog, I wanted to have a ton of followers in a short amount of time, and while some people do have success like that, it typically won't happen overnight. I've learned to just keep writing about what I love and if people like what I write, great! If not, then oh well. It's no big loss. I still love what I do regardless :)

6. What are three blogs you love?
This is such a hard question! I love so many different blogs it's difficult to pick just three, so I'm not going to!

Sunday Social

It's been quite a while since I've done Sunday Social, and I'm feeling lazy today with it being a day off work, so I figured it's a good day for this! Here are this week's questions.

1. What do you miss most about being a kid?
I miss just being able to do what I want, when I wanted. I had no responsibility and I could just play with my Barbies whenever

2. Did you have a nickname growing up?
Well, with my name being Katy, I had an aunt who would call me katydid all the time. Some people would call me Kate, but I never really liked that. People would also assume my name was Kaitlin or Kathleen or some longer name that was shortened to Katy. My name is just Katy people. I can show you my birth certificate!

3. What was your favorite thing to do at recess?
Probably swings or the monkey bars

4. What did you want to be when you grew up?
For some odd reason, I wanted to be a waitress but only because my mom said she was a waitress when she was younger. Then when I got a little older, I wanted to be an actress. Now, I don't know what the hell I wanna do with my life. I'm 24, I should know by now

5. Did you participate in any school activities?
Nope, I was an antisocial outcast who hated school and anything to do with it :)

6. What is the funniest thing you did as a kid that your parents still remind you about?
 Probably the fact that I was a streaker when I was really little. Before we moved to the house my parents live in now, I would always run outside with no clothes on. I was a weird kid

Sunday Social

 

 Today's Sunday Social is all about Summer!

1. Best Summer memory as a kid?
I always liked when my great-grandparents took my younger brother and I to the beach. We usually went to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. I remember one time when we were on the boardwalk getting these frozen slushie treats and I looked out into the ocean and I saw a bunch of dolphins jumping. It was pretty cool to see as a kid.

2. Favorite Summer drink?
Probably a pina colada or a strawberry daiquiri :)

3. Favorite Summer TV show?
I don't have one. I don't watch much TV anymore.

4. Best outdoor Summer activity?
I'm gonna go with going to the shore. I don't get many weekends off from work, but if I do have a weekend off, hopefully I can go for a day!

5. Summer vacation essentials?
Definitely lots of sunblock! I can't really think of anything else right now. I usually make a list of what I'll need depending on where I'm going.

Sunday Social

 

 Hey guys! I know I don't participate too much in Sunday Social, but I like the questions this week so here they are!

1. What is your favorite kind of surprise?
Honestly, I'm not much of a surprise liking person but once in a while my fiance will do something small that makes me feel all happy because he surprised me with it. (Trust me, the cute little things he does is rare, so when he does them it's quite a nice surprise!)

2. Flowers or chocolate? 
Chocolate, definitely! I'm allergic to flowers.

3. What is your favorite Summertime activity? 
This is a bit of a hard question. I work in retail, so I work alot of weekends and hours are crazy, but if I get a rare weekend off, I like going to the shore for a day, or just hanging out with my fiance and friends. Nothing too fancy.

4. Do you have any vacations planned this Summer?
Not really. Like I said above, with my job it makes it hard to plan vacations, but I'm getting married mid-September so I'm hoping to maybe take a weekend trip as a little honeymoon.

5. Favorite Summer Holiday?
I don't have one

6. Dream vacation? 
Oh this is tough! One of my dreams is to travel the world, but I'd love to go to Italy one day.

Those are the questions this week! Hopefully I can participate next week :)

Sunday Social!

Hey everyone! This is my second week linking up with Sunday Social, so lets get on to this week's questions!

1. What is your shopping weakness?
Anything beauty related! Seriously, once my 3 month no-buy was over, I went crazy with the product buying. I always see things I want, but not necessarily need (well, at least in my mind I need them!)

2. What is your food weakness?
I'm a self proclaimed chocaholic :)

3. What is your go to movie to watch when nothing is on?
Hmmm, I like alot of movies but my all-time favorite is The Nightmare Before Christmas

4. What is your go to breakfast food?
Eggs! I have eggs and toast for breakfast pretty much every morning. I go between bacon and scrapple whenever I make breakfast

5. Do you drink coffee? If so, how do you take it?
Yes, I have one cup every morning. Sometimes if I have a day off work I won't have one but of course then I get a headache. I take my coffee with half&half and sugar :)

Sunday Social!

This is my first time linking up with Sunday Social! I've seen other bloggers post this and I'm finally jumping on the bandwagon! I'm not sure if I'll do every single week's questions, but this week is about Spring, and I love Spring!

1. What is your favorite thing about Spring?

The weather getting warmer, getting the motivation to clean up the house, getting rid of junk, and just being happy again! Winter depresses me.

2. Favorite kind of flowers to give or receive?

None honestly. Flowers make me sneeze, so I tend not to buy any and try to stay away from them!

3. What is your favorite nail polish color?

I bought this Butter London nail polish back in winter called Primrose Hill Picnic, and it's the prettiest pink color that's perfect for spring. Haven't worn it yet, but I probably will be soon!

4. What is your favorite outdoor activity?

That's kinda tough. I'm not the biggest outdoors-y person, but I love going to Peace Valley Park and walking around the lake. The views are so beautiful, and that's also where I'm getting married in September! :)

5. Do you have any fun Spring plans?

Not that I can think of right now. My mom, my aunt and I are getting my wedding and wedding shower together, but I have no trips planned or anything. I work in retail, so I don't really have many weekends off to do things. 

This was pretty fun! I may do next weeks questions as well :)
