Liebster Award!



So, I've been neglecting blogging lately... SO sorry!!  

Today I logged on and found a wonderful surprise waiting for me. Steph has nominated me for a Liebster Award (: as well as my sister.  Truly, this made my day!

I've seen posts about the award floating around on different blog sites but I didn't expect to be nominated myself.  If you haven't heard, the Liebster is a sort of honorary award passed around to bloggers with under 200 followers.  

Here are the rules (which I stole from Steph's post!)

Liebster Rules

1. Each blogger should answer the questions the tagger has set for you.
2. Choose 11 new bloggers to pass the award onto and link them in your post.
3. Create 11 new questions for the chosen bloggers.
4. Go back to their page and tell them about the award.
5. Each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves.
6. No tag backs!

Here are my nominees
Helena from Seaside Beauty
Renaaye from Miss. Renaaye.
Lizzie from ssycophant
Catherine from Chic. Classy. Cheap
Aynur from Filthy Fashion
Sarah from Sarah-Lou xoxo
Candance from just a dream.
Lex from Lex's Wonderland
April from Rustic Love

I tried my hardest to find those who hadn't already been nominated for this award, but if I got some repeats -- oops!  These blogs are some of my favorites and those who I think really deserve some recognition.  These ladies are all awesome in their own ways <3

11 Random Facts About Me

My Answers
  1. What inspired you/why are you writing a blog? I was inspired to write a blog after becoming interested with popular beauty bloggers/YouTubers specifically Zoella and Sprinkle of Glitter. They both got their start with blogs, and I thought it would be a great way to join the beauty community.
  2. What is your favorite past time?  My favorite past time is probably reading.  I don't do it often anymore, but I used to be obsessed with reading.  I'm talking sit down and read a book cover-to-cover in a single day, most days.  Unfortunately I have been slacking on reading lately, I think it's great thing to make habit of!
  3. What is your one true wish (come on, don't be embarrassed)? My one true wish is to be HAPPY when I "grow up".
  4. What can you never help splurging (cash or otherwise) on? Makeup. It's an addiction.

  6. What is your biggest obsession? My biggest obsession probably be makeup right now. Could you have guessed (;
  7. Are you a sweet or savory? Definitely sweet. I think every tooth in my mouth is a sweet tooth.
  8. What is your favorite book genre? For the past few years I've been loving this kind of court room mystery type of genre.  Jodi Picoult follows this format, she's awesome.  Check her out if you get the chance!
  9. How would you describe yourself? I would describe myself as a college kid with a lot of learning to do and too many decisions to make.
  10. How would you describe your look? My looks is whatever makes me happy that day! (:
  11. What is your favourite color? My favorite color is any variation of pink.
