The Liebster Award

Hello my fellow friends of the internet! I have something extremely exciting to tell you (that is unless you don't already know of course!) I have been nominated (THREE TIMES!) for The Liebster Award. 

For those who don't know, I believe that The Liebster Award is a way for fellow bloggers to recognise/discover new bloggers and welcome them to the world of the internet! I've had to google the 'rules' because it would appear that people have been quite confused as to what you're actually meant to do but oh well here we go!

The rules (I think) are:

1) Link and thank the person/s that have nominated you.

2) Answer their questions.

3) Nominate 11 blogs with less than 200 followers.

4) Create 11 questions for the nominees to answer.

6) Let the bloggers know that they've been nominated via social media.

So, I'd like to thank Eithne On The Moon, Eclectic Feel and Catprintpaws for nominating me for this award! The feeling is entirely mutual (yanno, blog appreciation wise!) I'd also like to add that I judged the "200" followers thing via Bloglovin'.

Because all three nominated me I'll answer all of their questions too so here goes:

Eithne's questions: (I'm so incredibly sorry if it's not your name! I did look, I swear!)

1) If you could talk for one day with a famous person, dead or alive, who would you chose? Um, I'd really like to talk to Idina Menzel maybe and get some singing tips. Or Alex Turner and just ask him 'Why?'

2) Do you have a book that you read every time you feel down? If yes, which one? I don't actually have a book. I feel like I need one. When I buy Bridget Jones Diary I hope it'll be that!

3) Choose your superpower. I'll be molecule man, but the female version (Google him.)

4) Think of a book you really enjoyed: you can chose a character as your friend, which one and why? Robert Langdon because I just think he's cool to be totally honest (and I'm thinking of an answer that isn't Bridget from Bridget Jones Diary.)

5) What's your favourite moment of the day? Probably the precise moment when I'm in bed, my light thingies are on and I'm talking to my friends/

6) Name something you couldn't live without. Other than the obvious...Um, Hannah and Olli. Hi if you're reading. And thank you. You know what for.

7) What's your favourite word (the language is not important)? I bloody love this question! I might make a post on words i love currently, 'Splosh' just say it, it's rather satisfactory.

8) What's your favourite kind of post to read and/or write? I love writing Q&A style posts, because it allows you as a reader to get to know me just as much as it allows me to know me. What I like to read depends on my mood. For example if I have a headache, I'll read a blog with lots of pictures.

9) Do you have a specific song that reminds you of a moment in your life? If yes, which one? I have MANY songs that remind me of moments in my life. For example, Gold by Spandau Ballet, reminds me of the summer and my end of year exams.

10) What's your favourite hobby (apart from blogging)? Well, I would say that I don't have many hobbies, but I sing a lot and I think I sing enough for it to count as a hobby.

11) If you could travel instantly to somewhere whenever you want, where would you pick? Ideally, a little meadow/wood thingy with a stream at sunset/rise I think! 

Jo's questions:


1) Describe your blog in 3 words: Truthful, universal and disorganised.

2) What's your favourite smell and why?  I love the smell of vanilla because I just think it's relaxing and warm! I love vanilla.

3) Name an unusual skill/talent you have: I can't dance to save my life. I say this is a talent because I'm so bad, it is actually one of the most amazing things you will probably (not) see.

4) If you could only chose one- books, music, art craft or photography? Music.

5) Oranges or lemons? Oranges.

6) Your top 3 ambitions for 2015? Be happier, be mindful and be healthier.

7) What's your last holiday destination and what's (hopefully) your next? I believe my last holiday destination was Longleat Safari park and I'd like my next to be Evesham *cough, looking at you mum, cough*

8) Trilby or fedora? Trilby.

9) What was the last book you read/ album you listened to (rate out of 10)? The last book I read was Is It Just Me by Miranda Hart and I'd give it a 10 because I actually laughed out loud and I never do that. The last album I listened to was AM by Arctic Monkeys, probably gonna give that a 10 outta 10 too considering I'm pretty obsessed with it.

10) What's your favourite cheese? Brie or camembert...I think?

11) Will you be rocking Pantone's colour of the year "Marsala" in 2015? Probably, it's not a shade of yellow/orange so yeah. It might happen!

And Leanne's Questions:

1) Why do you want to blog? Because I feel that I have a lot to say and that there are a lot of people on the internet who would be interested in hearing what I have to say.

2) Who's your inspiration fashion or otherwise? I am pretty fashion ignorant I love what Aria (Aka, Lucy Hale) wears in Pretty Little Liars. Other than fashion inspiration...My friend Hannah and her mum inspire me quite a bit actually.

3) How long have you blogged for? I think it's been for around 4 months! Wow, that's strange to say.

4) What's your all time favourite movie or TV show and why? I love Bridget Jones Diary, that's currently my favourite film. I don't know about my favourite TV show to be honest. I think it's probably American Horror Story!

5) What's your top beauty tip? Um..Don't fret if your eyeliner isn't "on point" it will be one day. Not a tip, but it speaks to me.

6) What's your fail safe place to shop? Maybe New Look? Mainly because it's probably one of the bigger shops in my nearest city.

7) What's your favourite blog to read? I'm a bad blogger and I don't read blogs that often! When I do...They seem to be DIY blogs recently (looking for birthday present ideas.) Or it'll be a booktuber's blog.

8) What's your favourite song at the moment? Seaside by The Kooks.

9) What do you aspire to do in the future? Well, in the near future I'd like to not be ill (it's winter, I have a cold. I think.) In the 'distant' future I'd like to have done a lot of things like actually write a book or have read through my huge 'to be read' pile of books.

So again, I'd like to thank those lovely ladies for nominating me! My nominations are:

• MelJWills

Now, some people may argue over what a real blog is or point out the fact that there aren't 11 on my list or that some of them have a little bit over 200 followers. I like them and I'm nominating them.

My questions for them (or you if I've nominated you and you're watching!) Are:

1) What do you do if you run out of creative inspiration (for anything?)
2)  Morning or evening?
3) If you were a mythical creature, what would you be?
4) What's your favourite word? (Stealing the question, but I really wanna know.)
5) What helps you concentrate?
6) What 3 things are you determined to achieve (generally)?
7) What's your guilty pleasure?
8) Would you rather live without a roof or without a "proper" floor?
9) Why did you start your blog?
10) Have you ever eaten a whole cake?
11) How much trouble would you be in if you had no hands?
