Here are the questions that Emily asked me:

1. What is the story behind your blog name?

I was looking for something original that reflected my personality. I love kaleidoscopes and all things colourful and I also love the colour of the gemstone Jade so that was a little something I came up with. But I must admit I am currently going through some re-thinking for my blog name. Let me know what you think about this down below.

2. What would you have as your very last meal including a drink?
I would probably have a nice bowl of my Mum's home made pasta with a peach iced tea

3. What can you not leave the house without besides your phone and keys?
My sunnies or my wallet

4. Who inspires your style the most?

I have a very bohemian inspired style so I am absolutely in love with the way Mimi Elashiry dresses!

5. What is your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure would have to be chai lattes. I love a good chai latte!

6. What have you achieved which you are proud of?
I just got a high mark on my piano exam which I am proud of!

7. What would you tell your younger self?
Make the most of every moment you get, because before you know it everything will be over.

8. Current beauty favourite?
My current beauty favourite is the Maybelline BB cream

9. What is your favourite quote?
My favourite quote is 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened'

10. What made you start blogging?
I started blogging to share my ideas and to be apart of this wonderful community!

This is a very good and hard question. I have no idea haha

Here are the questions that Sophie asked me:
1. Who is your blog inspiration?
I'm inspired all the time by many blogs but my main inspirations are either Zoella or A Pair & a Spare
2. If you could change your hair for one day, what would you want to do?
I would probably get some rad dreadlocks considering the fact it's only for one day. If it was for more than a day I'd probably re think this as I know that it's hard to keep your hair clean and hygienic with dreads.
3. What was the best concert or gig you've ever been to?
I loved Guy Sebastian! But I honestly haven't been to many gigs and I'd love to say something a bit more interesting.
4. Where did you go on your last holiday?
I went to Thailand and I highly recommend it!

I would meet Kurt Cobain, Dylan Frost and Sara Bareilles

A new film camera!
7. What product would you recommend most to people?
The Rimmel Wake me up foundation. It's a great quality product!

I love saying 'nostalgic' and 'sophisticated' but there are honestly far too many words to list
9. Last book you read?
The last book I read was John Green's 'Looking for Alaska' and it was brilliant!
10. What advice would you give to people wanting to start a blog?
Write about what makes you happy and don't worry about the number of people reading your blog.
11. What do you do to cheer yourself up on a bad day?

I usually exercise, I find that it's a great way to clear your mind or I do the complete opposite and indulge in all the wrong foods. I almost always end up regretting it!
