Liebster Award

I have to thank a few lovely ladies for nominating me for the Liebster Award. I’m so happy you thought my little blog deserved this award! I’ve been nominated by the lovely Jina from BeautyBlogmark first, and then by Clare from Sparkle Blossom Beauty, Sierra from Lady Porter, Nina from Nina’s Style Blog and Aria from Aria’s Beauty Blog.

I’ve seen two different set of rules for this award:

1. Post the award on your blog.

2. Thank the blogger who presented the award and link back to their blog.

3. Answer the eleven questions posted by the presenter and ask eleven for your nominees.

4. Nominate eleven bloggers who you feel deserve this award and who have less than 1100 followers.

5. Let the nominees know you have nominated them.

1. Thank/link the blogger who nominated you.

2. Give 11 random facts about yourself.

3. Answer the 11 questions that they have written for you.

4. Nominate other bloggers with under 200 followers who you believe deserves the award.

5. Post 11 questions for your nominees to answer & let them know that they have been selected.

I’m going to do my best to include both set of rules writing my 11 random facts and nominating bloggers not too strictly under the 200 followers mark.

Since the questions were a lot I’ve tried to do my best and the only set of questions I’ve answered completely is the first I received from Jina. I still made sure to answer a good amount of questions from Clare, Sierra, Nina and Aria too ;)

11 random facts about me:

1. I love to drive, it’s one of my favourites things to do
