Noor's questions:

1- What do you prefer? Tumblr or Twitter?

I've only just signed up on twitter! Don't have Tumblr! I'm not up to date on the social network any more. Strange how things turn out. I was the first kid in school to get internet (the browser was netscape at the time and I had an aol address). I was also the first of my friends to get Facebook. Then I got lost!

2- What's your favorite fragrance?
Fave perfume is Black XS!

3- If you want to dwell in any city of the world, which city that could be?
I love the city I actually live in : Tangier. Otherwise Perth (Australia).

4- Who's your favorite singer/band?
Hard question! I like all sorts of music! At the moment I really like listening to noa & the whale.

5- Any celeb role model?
Not really. Lindsay Stirling for violin playing.

6- High heels or sneakers?
A bit of both! I mainly wear sneakers because they're so comfortable, but I like wearing heels when I go out in the evening with friends.

7- If you get a chance to be starred in a movie, who would be your co-star?
Will Ferrel, I think I'd have a good laugh!

8- What's your biggest passion?
Off road driving. I hope to turn this passion of mine into something useful (humanitarian races in Morocco)

9- What's your biggest fear?
Becoming paralyzed (from the head down). I had a bad fall when I was 14 and broke my neck. I still can't feel my right side properly (it's getting better, I used to be able to put my hand in boiling water and not feel a thing, rather dangerous)

10- Your favorite brand?
Don't really have a fave brand. Lately I've been liking Guess stuff clothes wise.

11- Most important person of your life?
It's impossible to name only one! My sister, Mandy, means the world to me. We've both been through hard times and understand each other. 

My little sister and I a long time ago!

My boyfriend Franck, with whom I've been with for more than 5 years. He also has helped me though hard times, sometimes I wonder what kind of person I would have become without him. My Dad, a smart old timer! I respect him in many ways. And of course some friends who I know I can always count on.

Snakes and ladders when I was really little! And that game when you had to pull teeth out of a crocodile's mouth and it would snap on your fingers if you pulled the wrong one!

2 places : Iceland and Vietnam.

Here's my answer to Sallamari's (from http://mangosforflamingos.blogspot.fr) challenge.

The naked truth. 

The challenge is to post a pic of yourself with no makeup and no photoshopping.

I think it's a great idea. People always post pictures of themselves looking glamourous and perfect. I'm often not wearing makeup on my outdoor activity photos (but there aren't may close ups of my face)

 So here's one! No makeup at all. Just me like I look most days actually! (Posing with my evil sweatshirt eater puppy!)

I would love to see more bloggers take up this challenge! 

'Real faces for real people'

Take care!
