A bit about me

Hi, I'm Becky, and I'm a third year English Language and journalism student at the University of Central Lancashire. I've always wanted to work in the magazine industry, particularly fashion magazines, even since I saw the first episode of Ugly Betty way back when I was 12. For some reason it instantly hit me that that was what I wanted to do with my life when I was older, not necessarily be Ugly Betty, but work at the fictional ‘Mode’ magazine.

I've always had an interest in fashion, with some of my earliest memories being walking round my nearest shopping centre with my mum and my auntie, all laden with bags.

As well as loving fashion I also love beauty and skincare. For some reason makeup fascinates me, it’s like art. I could spend hours watching makeup tutorials and swatching cosmetic items at beauty counters. I someday dream of being the beauty editor for a top woman’s glossy magazine and want to try and do anything that will help me succeed with my dream!
