about

The Girl : Hi! My name is LaaLaa, I'm 25 and I live somewhere in Bedfordshire. I'm a professionally trained make-up artist who is obsessed with criminology. Animals are a big part of my life 12 pets and counting... Dreaming of being a California girl. In my younger days I wanted to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid, dreamed of the long red hair and throw in the tail fish cos I live within water. If I was to list everything I wanted to do as a career it'll be never ending but my top ones consisted of, actress, model, wrestler, make-up artist, solicitor and fitness instructor - gym owner.

Enjoying music of all genres especially on vinyl - oh em gee, reading especially true crime and biographies. My beliefs, anti-animal cruelty, vegetarian. Attempting to be Sally Homemaker, finding it pleasurable to cook my meals from scratch.  I've became quite a cinephile as of late, best way to lose myself is within a film.


The Blog : For 4 years I dedicated Dolce Vanity to beauty. After winning the 2012 Cosmo Blog Award for Best Established Beauty Blog. I've now decided to expand that and hold more of a variety. As much as I love make-up it's not the pinnacle of my life right now. Call it a quarter life crisis! My daily life, thoughts, beauty, cooking, health, fashion & hobbies will be included on here to give me of a space for me.  I've had such a great 4 year run as a beauty blog, I want to expand myself and let my blog be mine. Dolce Vanity is a beauty/lifestyle blog independently run by me, LaaLaa. I am a graduate of AOFM (Academy of Freelance Makeup) Since October 2008, this blog has offered varied topics from beauty, celebrities, fashion, mental health, personal issues & more.
