This or That Tag! TAG Thursday

Hey Beauts,

So today I just felt like doing a TAG post! They're quick and easy and when I have a to-do list as long as this, I haven't got too much spare time right now. It's also really upsetting seeing how bright the sun is outside when I'm stuck inside doing work. I thought I'd procrastinate a little bit with writing a blog post. I haven't been tagged to do this, but I had such good comments and feedback on the last TAG Thursday that I thought you would all appreciate another one! So here you all go! :D



Makeup; 
Blush or Bronzer - Blush, I still can't apply blusher properly (haha) but I don't even attempt to wear bronzer!
Lip Gloss or Lipstick - Lipstick, definatly! I hate the feel of lip gloss.
Eye Liner or Mascara - Mascara, My experiences with eye-liner have pretty much always been bad! But if I could survive with one piece of make-up, that would be mascara,
Foundation or Concealer - Concealer, it's so easy to put on and blend out. Foundations are too heavy in my opinion for every day.
Neutral or Colour Eye Shadow - Neutral, it's just easier and looks elegant and classy.
Pressed or Loose Eye Shadows - Pressed, loose is just a lot messier! haha.
Brushes or Sponges - Brushes, they feel so soft! And they're a lot easier to store!

Nails; 
OPI or China Glaze - OPI, I'ver never tried China Glaze. I love the little sets you can get - super cute! 
Long or Short - Long, even though they break, they look a lot nicer. 
Acrylic or Natural - Natural, Acrylic is very fake!
Brights or Darks - Brights! But I do like to wear darks from time to time too! 
Flower or No Flower - No Flower? I don't get this question? Is it flower nail art? Sometimes I like flower nail art, but most of the time not? 

Body; 
Perfume or Body Splash - Perfume, it lasts a lot longer!
Lotion or Body Butter - Body Butter as it feels much nicer
Body Wash or Soap - Body Wash because it's a lot easier to use.
LUSH or Another Bath Company - LUSH, it's just beautiful!

Fashion;
Jeans or Sweat Pants - Jeans (Can I pick tights instead?) I only ever wear tights! :)
Long Sleeve or Short Sleeve - Short Sleeve, long sleeves get too hot!
Dresses or Skirts - Dresses, much easier to work with. Skirts are too hard to wear (on me)
Stripes or Plaid - Plaid, much more classy!
Flip Flops or Sandals - Flip Flops, easier to slip on, plus I love how casual they are!
Scarves or Hats - Scarves, big fluffy ones in the winter! Super soft and super cuddly!
Studs or Dangly Earrings - Dangly, on nights out, it's pretty much the only time I wear earrings.
Necklaces or Bracelets - Bracelets, they just look so pretty when layered up on your wrists!
Heels or Flats - Flats, easier to walk in and very rarely hurt.
Cowboy Boots or Riding Boots - Cowboy Boots, they just look very fun and rustic! 
Jacket or Hoodie - Hoodie, so comfy!
Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe - Forever 21? I've never heard of Charlotte Russe, it must be an American thing!
Abercombie or Hollister - Hollister? I'd pick neither but I LOVE Hollister body sprays! 
Saks 5th or Nordstrom - Neither, Never shopped in either!

Hair;
Curly or Straight - Straight on a daily basis, curly on an occasion! 
Bun or Ponytail - Ponytail, buns are too difficult for me!
Bobby Pins or Butterfly Clips - Bobby Pins.
Hair Spray or Gel - Hair Spray, gel feels horrible!
Long or Short - Long, I really don't like short hair (Sorry)
light or Dark - Dark, much more 'homely'
Side Sweep Bangs or Full Bangs - Side Swept, they just look nicer and it's what I've always had. :P
Up or Down - Down, my face is too chubby! I hate my hair up.

Random; 
Rain or Shine - Shine, rain just gets your all wet and uncomfortable!
Summer or Winter - Summer, so warm and happy! Weather doesn't get in your way of having fun!
Autumn or Spring - Autumn, I love wearing orange, browns and reds in Autumn.
Chocolate or Vanilla - Vanilla, it tastes amazing!
East Coast or West Coast - The only question where I can't decide! East has Florida and New York - West has California! So BOTH! Mwhahahahahahaha! 

I hope you enjoyed this! Seen as how I wasn't tagged to do this, I don't feel as though I can tag other people to do it too, but I'd love to read your responses! So if any of you decided to do this, or if you've done it in the past, comment down below with a link to your post so I can read your answers! Thanks for taking your time to read this post and remember to follow on GFC and Blog Lovin' so you don't miss out on future posts! <3

Get to know me! - TAG Thursday

Hey beauts!

I thought I would let you get to know me better to start things off! Now there are a bunch of different 'tags' out there on the world wide web, so I closed my eyes and picked one and this was the result!

1) How do you prnounce your blog name?
Just how it's written, Elephant Stories and more.
I named it this because elephants are my favourite animal and I am an elephant. This blog will be all about my stories in life and more! Thought, opinions, etc, etc...

2) How old are you?
I am 20! I was born 15th February 1993! So a day after Valentines day! I never needed to cry for being lonely because the next day would be awesome!

3) What Nationality are you?
I am British & a quarter Irish.

4) What grade year are you in?
In Britain it is called year not grade! Haha, silly languages! I'm technically in year 16, I think! Which is my third and final year at University.

5) Do you have a job?
I do and I don't. It's a job where I work roughly February-October and then I'm jobless and have to apply for the job back. I absolutely love my job, working on the rides and recommend it highly. It's very social! I work at the theme park, Alton Towers! Such a fun job!

6) What is your eye colour?
My eye colour is blue!

7) What is your natural hair colour?
When I was younger it was blonde like in this image and slowly as I've grown up it's gone more of a mousy brown shade.

8) What type of skin do you have?
Normal to combination. My T-zone can never make up it's mind on whether it wants to be oily, normal or dry.

9) Do you have freckles?
I always say no to this question, but they randomly appear every summer without me knowing and disappear again in the winter months!

10) Do you/did you have braces?
Yep, for a whole 18 months. Painful they are.

11) What is your favourite perfume to wear?
Lovely by Sarah Jessica-Parker
Cherish by Ghost
Juicy Coture by Juicy Coture
Turquatic by MAC
Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift
Wonderstruck Enchanted by Taylor Swift

I absolutely LOVE perfumes. These are a few of my favourites as I really can't just pick one >.<

12) How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? 
That depends on what I'm doing! Anywhere from 5minutes+

5 minutes if I shower the night before and get everything ready the night before
15 minutes if I'm doing minimal make-up and got things ready the night before + snooze alarm once
1 hour if I need to shower
1 hour 30 minutes if I need to shower, do make-up and get things ready

13) Whats your favourite colour?
Aqua/Turquoise/Blue

14) Heels or Flats?
Flats, Flats, Flats with the occasional heel on a night out. I'm already 5ft9 so I wear heels when towering above everyone else seems fun!

15) Gold or Silver
White gold / silver

16) Do you have a boyfriend?
Yep, I do and I love him to bits! We've been together 3 years come April 4th 2014.

17) Do you have any siblings?
A brother named Peter, he's a year younger than me.

18) Do you have any pets? 
Yeah! The cutest dog ever! He's a mongrel, but we love him.
Here is Spence!

19) Have you ever been out of the country?
I've been to a few places,
America, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Majorca & a couple others. Travelling is fuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

20) What is something that makes you nervous?
I really hate being in crowded places. I'm also really nervous about losing the person/people I'm with in busy areas too.

So now you know me better, let me get to know you better! I tag you! Once you're done, write your blog name/link/thing down in the comments and I'll come and check your blog out! :)
