My name is Katie Clarke, no middle names unfortunately, just Katie Clarke. I'm 21, Gemini, and was born in the UK but spent most of my life in Ireland so I'm always up for the "craic"! I have an older brother and sister and my gorgeous mam who is a mother and best friend.

I was a late bloomer for makeup, I never wore anything until I was 16 and at this point I was a bit of a rocker so I was experimenting with black liner and eye shadows and at the time thought I was pretty darn cool (I have many a picture which reinforces I definitely wasn't). I have never done any make-up course I just enjoy make-up and beauty care like many ladies out there so the aim of my blog is just to share and enjoy some beauty chit-chat.
I met my boyfriend Clément in my little town in Ireland and was instantly swept off my feet with his french charm. Sadly the whirl wind romance was cut short and we had to endure a long distance relationship for many many months. After I finished my fashion and art course I took the plunge and moved to France and I'm so glad I did!

Et voila, this is where my story continues, I'm embracing the French culture, swapping my good ole Irish spuds (potatoes) and Guinness for croissants and baguettes. I'm a very proud new parent (I don't really like to say owner) of our little bouledogue francais Holly, she is just the cutest.

BLOG NEWS!
I have decided that I really want to have some structure to my blog, something to aim for every week and I will now be putting up a tutorial (hopefully!) every Friday. If you guys think a different day would be better please leave a comment! The tutorials will mainly be beauty related but I might spice it up once in awhile and if you guys want a tutorial on anything I'm open to all suggestions! In between the tutorials I will still be posting reviews etc frequently so don't forget to check back on those! See you soon!

Thank you for your lovely comment Norelle :) Definitely go to the Galerie Lafayette for women in Paris, it has everything a girl could want in there, even if I never buy anything I just love to browse because it's so beautiful inside :) and French pharmacies are packed with skin care products, you've probably heard of the Bioderma cleanser that everyone loves so I'd really recommend picking up one of those because it's so easy to get your hands on one :) I've never been to Australia but I would love to go some day, it's on my bucket list! I hope you have an amazing time in Paris, it really is a magical city :) xx

Browsing through blogs through HelloCotton and clicks later I find myself here on your blog! It´s my first time so I´m going to explore some more. I LOVE reading the About Me page of bloggers because it gives me a sense of what I can expect writing wise (light, funny, entertaining etc.) as I think the personality really shows through in the writing.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to drop a line or two or three... I´ll be following you HelloCotton and through Google.
