A New Beginning for Idkcaits

Hey you! 

If you followed my posts on instagram or on here, then you would’ve noticed that I haven’t been active.

The thing is, a lot has changed for me over the past few years! 

I feel that social media is a way of showcasing your hobbies and documenting different moments, trips and favourites in your life… and for that reason I’ve decided to change my content to suit my new hobbies and interests. 

As some of you may know, I’m 17 and I’m currently in the middle of my A levels and in the midst of university applications and decisions.. and I’d like to use this platform to document this chapter in my life!

I have missed blogging, but I knew I needed to change what I post to something that was relevant to my life at the moment, or I just won't stick to it.

So here's a summary of my life right now and what I'd like to change!

I want to be a midwife. I have a huge passion for the inspiring care that midwives bring to women, and one day soon I'd like to become an advocate myself! I am currently in the middle of the application process and I think it's important that as aspiring midwives we speak about the experience, to show other women who may be considering this career path that it IS possible! 

From my journey to Midwifery, I have discovered that I thoroughly enjoy helping other aspiring midwives with interview help and tips and tricks for the application process, and I'd like to use this platform to help people who are interested and document my experiences. I think this is really important for the future of midwifery. But I also want to document my journey on if I DON'T get a place this year, because I think it's important to be transparent. 

However,  I still want to have the freedom to talk about other things (maybe my experience at uni or similar things?). So please don't assume this is just going to turn into a midwifery blog entirely. I just want to document and share my experiences of life as an A level student/aspiring midwife/uni student (hopefully)/ and generally a teenager! And my hope is that maybe I'll be able to help others from this:) I still love a good thought rant, beauty and travel.. so I'm sure that aspect will creep up!!

So if you've made it this far without clicking off (thank you!!), please let me know what you think about my new ideas!  I wish you all the best of luck in all your individual journeys. Stay tuned for a hopeful offer!! Pray for me!

 

You'll hear from me soon!

Beauty blogger tag + q&a 2017

If any of you follow my instagram (idkcaits_), you'll be aware that I have had exams for the last two weeks which I why I haven't posted on my blog. But they're over until the summer! I'm back, and to start off 2017, here's a little beauty tag that I got off Eleanor Wears Also at the end I've included some question s from lovely Instagram followers who you should totally give a follow, because there names will be mentioned! <3

1. Do you have any fashion or beauty icons? Who? 

- Honestly, I have no idea, how sad is that.

2. Beauty pet peeve?
- What a hard question, I have so many lol
Top pet peeves have to un natural-non faded eyebrows (the block brow) all the way, and when you get a little patch of dry skin and it's the worst because your foundation looks dreadful? Everyone knows what I mean right

3. Would you rather wear no makeup for the rest of your life or makeup everyday (but you can take it off when going to bed)
- Easy for me, I'd wear makeup for the rest of my life, as much as it's time consuming and I'd always be late, it's honestly the best part of my day sometimes! 

4. Do you have any tips or tricks makeup/cosmetic wise?
- I learnt a few acne tricks from Chloe morello actually, to do skincare and how to handle Spots! Comment if you'd like to know it! Honestly though cream eye shadows are just my main trick, nothing better than whacking one on and giving it a blend and being completely eyeshadowed up!

5. Kim K or Kendall Jenner makeup?
- this is also hard because both are so stunning, obviously Kim's is more dramatic, so am I allowed to say both? I'd probably wear Kendall's looks in the day time and opt for Kim's amazing artist mario in the evening.

6. Do you only buy cruelty-free makeup and if so why?
- Thing is, no I don't. I think it's an amazing idea honestly and I support anyone who has made the decision to do so, but personally I'm in love with MAC soft and gentle... 

7. Skincare or makeup?
- I'm absolutely obsessed with skincare!! I love it so much and I get super excited about it. But if I had to make the vital choice between both I'd choose makeup any day, ain't nobody seeing my brows without some ABH

Questions from Instagram 

Holy grail makeup product? (Laurenjhx) 
- if you read my blog a couple years back then you'll know about my glam eyes Rimmel London liquid liner, I'm still absolutely obsessed with it and I can't use anything else!!

Favourite fashion statement? (Itsellablog)
- HAS to be my beige suede Hollister jacket, or my Chelsea boots because I'm in love with them... even my black and gold topshop belt is super cute to add to outfits!

Eyeshadow or eyeliner? (fgsprincess)
- eyeliner eyeliner eyeliner, I have the smallest eyes and without eyeliner I don't feel complete 

Favourite lip product? (kara_hole) 
- hands down Kat Von D liquid lip in Lolita 2 because I live and die in that shade 

Favourite clothing line? (x.grace.holly.x)
- proooobably urban outfitters as a whole shop, although I love topshop, some Hollister things and any cute online boutique/stores
