What better way to start blogging on my new website and domain …. I am honoured to have been nominated for a “Liebster Award” by the amazing and gorgeous Raylene over at Ariel’s World. I hadn’t seen Liebster Award posts on other blogs before and have enjoyed being involved and learning more about other bloggers. I do love blogging and like other bloggers struggle to consistently blog with what I hope is fresh and interesting material … but with the rules below I hope you agree that it is a good way to get back into it and share the blogging love!
Each nominee has to follow 6 simple rules:
- Acknowledge the blog that nominated you and display the Liebster Award on your blog
- Answer 11 questions that the blogger gives you
- Give 11 random facts about yourself
- Nominate 11 blogs that you think are deserving of the award, that have less than 200 followers
- Let those bloggers know you’ve nominated them
- Give them 11 questions to answer.
So here goes …
My first post on the new website and domain and my set of questions from Raylene with my answers:
1. What is your current favourite blog to read?
I have two blogs that I follow consistently – Ariel’s World and Rebecca Low Designs – The Handmade Wedding then I’m a bit of a blog jumper looking about for latest beauty product info, makeup trends, and wedding fashion trends.
2. What music is playing on your device right now?
Jessie J – Alive album and Guy Sebastian – Madness album – I love music that has good lyrics with a bit of heart felt meaning that you can belt it out to.
3. Sweet or Savoury?
Oh god definitely sweet … ALL the way!!
4. What is your favourite movie of all time?
Well I have two – Pretty Woman and Breakfast at Tiffany’s
5. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Definitely a morning person … on the weekends this is very unfortunate as I’m still wide awake around 5:30am AND I DON’T WANT TO BE!!! 😦
6. What is a favourite saying of yours?
I have 2:
Everything is temporary – this is something my dad always says and its so very true its now become mine
There is no such thing as can’t – this is something my mum always used to say to me when I was little and I always thought it was stupid as the word can’t does exist but now I like to think of it along the lines of “anything is possible”
7. Do you have a creed to live by?
I always get what I want without detriment to others
Now I feel I have to explain myself and I’m aware as to how that initially might sound. So in other words I always work hard to get what I want, I form strong relationships with people so that people want to work with me to achieve my goals. But at no time is it in a nasty way and not by pushing and shoving others out of the way. I despise conflict, arguments and anger and so work very hard to avoid any of these.
8. If you were to describe yourself in 4 words what would they be?
Caring
Driven
Fair
Sensitive
9. What is your favourite way to exercise?
Long walks taking in the scenery and people wherever I am.
10. What is your favourite genre of book/magazine?
Ah now this is a hard one I have many favourites …
For books
– a good deep novel with excellent character depiction, real life history and a solid heart felt story
– a good common-sense how to book for either business or personal achievement
For Magazines
– Fashion and beauty all the way
– The Collective – my favourite magazine – stories of successful business people/entrepreneurs.
11. What is your must have accessory?
All of them! I love love love accessories. I love a simple outfit and just adding that pow by using the perfect accessory.
