Talk to me tuesday with Barbara

What is your name? My name is Barbara, but some people just call me Barb, Barbie or B. I'm OK with that!
What is your blog? Where can we find it? Well my blog is called "hello, i'm nice" . You see, I was feeling pretty creative. At first it was "the personal photo journal of Barbara" but that was too boring so I decided to change the claim. And to be more professional I thought it would be great to buy the domain, so you can find it at http://www.helloimnice.com/
And roughly how old are you? I'm 24!! I was born the 6/6/86 .... how scary is that?!
Where do you call home? Can you tell me once nice thing about this place? I call home Madrid, it is a beautiful city. There's always something to do, and the best thing is the wonderful weather. I really love the fact it's sunny almost everyday, which really makes me happy.

What is your daily routine? Do you craft all day? Have a 9-5? etc etc. Right now I'm studying a MBA so my daily life is pretty stressing. I wake up very early, take a shower and rush to school. Classes start at 9 and finish at 8 in the afternoon since we stop two hours to eat (something I find really stupid, what's the point of that? if I was at home I would have a nap but obviously you can't do that at school). Then I arrive home and I'm so tired the only thing I want to do is have dinner and go to bed. I'm like a baby right now and get to bed at 10pm. So as you can imagine I only take pics during the weekend since I still don't dare to take my camera with me to class. People still don't know the kind of freak I am. During weekends it's different. I try to get out and take pics as much as I can. I have been using my film camera a lot lately but I'm too lazy to scan all the negatives so they are waiting on my desk feeling quite miserable I don't pay any attention to them.


Who do you live with? Do you have any pets? I'm living with my parents, my brother and my frenchie. He's the cutest thing on earth (well, I guess everyone says that about their boyfriend/girlfriend or pet in case of not having one of the previous ones) He's seven years old and he's my baby.

Favourite season? Why is this? My favourite season is spring because of the nice weather, beautiful flowers and nice temperatures.


Favourtie colour? Why is this? I think my favourite color is brown. I don't know the reason in fact. I tend to dress in that color and I think it is very flattering. At least for me as I'm so pale. Also because I find it kinda retro. I'm very retro lately. I guess that could be a good reason. Brown is quite retro, you see.
Favourite sound? That's a quite interesting question. I guess my favourite sound is the rain pouring outside when I'm in bed wearing my hello kitty pj's (and yes, I gotta be in bed and wearing the pj's)
Favourite taste? If I had to choose a taste that would be chocolate ( yes, I already know that's nothing awesome. maybe you expected something like, don't know, lemon? - sometimes i'm plain as that )
Favourite thing to do on a day off? My favourite thing to do is hang out with my girlfriends in any café and share gossips. Like Sex and the City but in a much-more-madrid-style. I also enjoy roadtrips a lot, so if the weather is nice and we are feeling in the mood we may take the car and drive out of the city to explore a little bit.

What would you describe as your signature style? Well I would define it as "an-old-granny-born-on-the-wrong-decade-kind-of-style" I love blouses, high waist skirts, dresses, tights, cardigans and scarfs. I won't wear jeans usually unless it's strictly necessary.

Do you have any hidden talents? i.e. are you a ballerina? Can you play the trombone? etc etc Well I' don't know if this counts as a special talent, but I can find spots easily when trying to park. I guess I'm a very lucky girl.
Do you have any tattoos? If not, have you ever considered it? I don't have any tattoos, and have never considered about having one. Nothing against, but they are just not my style.
What do you want for christmas? Right now the only thing I want is having a relaxing break, with little homework and lots of plans. Being more greedy I'd say I'd love a 50mm f/1.2 . That would be amazing. So if you are feeling generous, please, email me asap - I will love you forever.
Before I leave you in peace there is one last thing. Can you share with us one extra little special thing. Maybe what you are looking forward to this season? A favourite blog? website? shop? recipe?shade of lipstick?
Oh I will share a few things with you which I hope you will enjoy. I'm currently obsessed with Hilda and her beautiful blog.

Talking about make up I want to share with you my fav products. For eyeliner I like the fluidline by MAC. It can be a little bit difficult at first but it lasts all day long and won't even move a bit. The best mascara I have ever tried is Cil Arquitecte by L'Oreal. Amazing lashes. Talking about concealers I have tried a thousand of them and I have found out that Erase Paste by Benefit is just AMAZING. And you should also try Mineralize powder for a natural daily look. This is just a perfect combo. My fav lipstick shade is Ruby Woo by MAC. That red is just so pretty!!
The Lomography redscale film is just incredible. You must try that film. You'll love it.

And last but not least I would like to share with you this website, it's very inspiring so I hope you like it: TED, ideas worth spreading.

Would you like to be featured in next months talk to me tuesday? All you have to do is leave me a love note then sit your pretty self down and wait for my questions.
