Shimmerofpink Q&A || Remain Positive, Stress, Fashion and Beauty

Hellooo shimmers,
I asked and you asked back! I tweeted if anyone had any questions they would like me to answer and you guys asked and so I am here to answer!
Why did you start blogging?
I loved the idea of having a blog, I was going through a difficult time with illness, and shimmerofpink became my escape.
What is your favorite thing about blogging?
taking the pictures, writing the post and then seeing the feedback for all you lovely people who read my posts/rambles!
How do you deal with stress?
I blog! I find blogging destresses me. Sometimes I type all my feelings on to a blog post and then dont actually post it but it help to destress. I also love to play the piano and sing, basically things that distract my mind from whatever it is I am stressed about.
What camera do you use to take your photographs?
Canon 1100d SLR (I absolutely love it <3)
Favourite mascara?
They're real- Benefit
Favourite/ most worn lip product?
Body shop lipstick and Maybelline New York Babylips.
Favourite clothes shop at the moment?
Surprisingly it is Primark, they have some really nice items in recently.
What are you looking forward to this spring?
Going to Barcelona to celebrate my dads 50th birthday.
Do you know the clocks go forward an hour on Saturday 29th (UK)?!
I do, but thanks for reminding us!!
You mentioned in a previous post about being very ill a few years ago, I have been ill and I am trying to remain positive for my family but it is hard, any tip/help?
Firstly I hope you get better soon and you have my love and positive thinking firing at you <3
It can be difficult to keep a brave face when thats not how you feel inside. If you are having a bad day talk to someone about it, dont keep it inside just because you dont want them to worry, I did that for over a year and it didn't help me recover, you can keep smiling but sometimes you just need to have that little cry or burst of emotions and people will understand, if they love you then they will love you however you feel.
Any other questions I can answer in the comments :)
