Sisterhood Of The World Bloggers Award

Wow I have been getting a lot of nominations lately! Thank you all so much! This time it’s a big thank you to Jessica for nominating me for the ‘Sisterhood of the world bloggers’ award! You can find her inspiring blog here.

The rules are as follows: Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site. Put the Award logo on your blog. Answer the ten questions sent to you. Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer. Nominate seven blogs.

These are Jessica’s questions to me and my answers!

1. What has been your greatest source of inspiration? In all honesty my inspiration comes from looking at my younger self. All the worries I had and the need to put pen to paper to share my feelings, but worrying about who would listen. I now have the courage to communicate with others.

2. Where do you see your blog in the new year? I am hoping to have grown my friends list, and inspired more people, whilst being introduced to other blogs.

3. Does your community outside writer’s world tend to support you? This blog is like my little secret. Only a few people know I actually have a blog. The people that do know don’t tend to make much notice to be honest haha.

4. Where do you get your biggest following? From other passionate writers, who write about similar subjects.

5. What are you most passionate about, not a person, but thing? Other than writing it would have to be photography. I am obsessed with taking photos. It seems like nothing to everybody else but once I have developed a photo I can share with them the beauty that I saw.

6. How do you feel about blogging awards? I am always over the moon when I have found out that someone has nominated me. It brings me great happiness. Also excitement that I can involve others.

7. Do you follow a sisterhood code in life through actions? I guess I’m always loyal and I don’t need to constantly reassure people with words. Actions speak much louder.

8. How much time a week do you spend on your blog? Well let’s just say if I am not on my blog, or looking at others every minute of every day, it is because something in reality is distracting me for a moment.

9. Why did you start to blog? To put some thoughts I had in writing and to inspire and even humour others.

10. Will you tell me if you choose to not accept this nomination? I would never dismiss a nomination. I am so thrilled when I am nominated that I can’t wait to do my bit. If for any reason I would not take part then I would let the nominee know.

My 10 questions for my 7 nominees are:

1. What did you hope to achieve by starting your blog?

2. What is your favourite thing to write about?

3. What do you enjoy reading the most?

4. Can you find inspiration easily or is it only occasionally you find something that gets your attention?

5. Do you wish to continue your blog for many more years to come?

6. What have you always wanted in life and have you ever got it?

7. What is the best compliment you have ever received?

8. What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?

9. If you could be any age for a week what age would it be and why?

10. What cheers you up?

The Liebster Blog Award!

So I have been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award!! Exciting!!!!!

Big thanks to jojo for nominating me!!!

It’s such a privilege to know that people are actually reading my posts and finding them interesting and worth while ☺️

I never thought I would be someone to be noticed for my posts, so it’s pretty amazing!

20140303-161731.jpg

The idea behind this nice award is to recognize new bloggers and help promote them! You also benefit by getting some promotion!

The rules..

1)- Thank the person who nominated you and link to their blog.

2)- Show off your award on your blog (in a post, widget, etc. like I did).

3)- Answer 10 questions given to you by the nominee before you.

4)- Create 10 questions of your own.

5)- Nominate 5-10 of your favourite blogs with fewer than 200 followers and notify them of their nomination.

6)- And of course, tell them about it and provide a link back to your website so that they can know more about the award!

Now here are my answers to the questions I have been given!

Who’s your favorite Disney character?

Oooh that would have to be Alice from Alice in wonderland! That was my favourite childhood film and I always loved Alice’s curiosity as she reminds me very much of myself!

What do you look for in a person?

I look for someone who you can tell is genuine from the moment you meet them, someone who makes you feel you can open up to them without being judged, I like to feel protected, I have been very lucky with meeting my other half, as he is all of those things and more.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Well I’m living the dream so to speak, I’ve always wanted to be a graphic designer, and at the age I am now of 19, I have my own small business with reliable and regular customers who I do designs for, whilst working full time, so I wouldn’t want to change anything.

And if you have found your career, what do you enjoy about it?

I enjoy the freedom, doing things my way, knowing I can only rely on myself for any mistakes made, I can see how most people would disagree but I am extremely self motivated and like doing things on my own. It’s pretty awesome and sooo much less stress! 😞

What do you look forward to about being old?

Hmmm this is tricky, as right now I can’t imagine being any older than my twenties, I guess if I have to give an answer I would say, I look forward to the experiences I will have and the new people I will meet along the way.

What would you do if you have only ten hours to live?

Another brilliant question..
Thinking quickly I would phone everyone I know and throw a party, I would drink but not too much, and spend the time left with loved ones and talk about our memories, but boring I know but traveling would waste precious time..

If someone came up to you and slapped you for no reason, what would you do to them?

I would slap that bitch right back!
Hell they ain’t getting away with that!

How old do you want to be when you die?

These questions are brilliantly planned!
I would say as long as I can, so like until 99! Even though I’m terrified of getting wrinkles, I think I would be the coolest old person ever with all my tattoos and piercings haha!

If you had a limit of 24 words to say to someone, what would you say? And whom to?

I would say ‘believe in yourself darling, because your beautiful, kind, funny, intelligent and amazing and you have the skills to go far and make it big!’
I would say this to my sister ☺️

How would you react if your biggest fear came true?

Let’s just say I would have died of a heart attack.. Let’s leave it there..

If you could be any animal, which would you be and why?

Mmmmmmmm I would be a peregrine falcon.. Hear me out…
I have always wanted to fly, think of the freedom, that amazing feeling you would have from soaring through the air. The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird in the world! You could be flying around and see all the people you don’t like and be like ‘hey fucker’ as they look up you could take the opportunity to relieve yourself, ahh good timing!

Now it’s my turn to create 10 questions for my nominees..
Muhahaha

1. If you had to give up social networking/ the internet what do you think you would miss the most?

2. If you had to wear one colour for the rest of your life (e.g always wearing blue everything, top, jeans, shoes, jumper) what colour would it be?

3. Would you rather have a different accent every 15 minutes or randomly start speaking in another language without being able to control either?

4. Can you choose an existing movie title that best relates to your life?

5. What’s the most awkward situation you have been in?

6. What celebrity is your biggest crush and why?

7. What is your happiest childhood memory?

8. If you won the lottery what is the first thing you would do?

9. What’s the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

10. What is your dream job?

Go Go Go!!! ☺️☺️
