Yay! I was nominated for the Liebster award! What is this Liebster Award you ask? It’s an
award given to bloggers with less than 200 followers to help them grown and
connect in the blogging community. I personally think this is an awesome idea,
and I’m so excited to be a part of it!
I was nominated by Kathy over at MomWifeWoman and since
Liebster means sweetest, kindest, lovely, valued, endearing, and welcome just
to name a few, this makes me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside and I’m
super thankful Kathy was nice enough to include me, and ask you go check out
her blog!
ThEre are several variations of “The Rules” floating around for
the Liebster award, but I’ve chosen to use these:
So here goes:
11 Questions to answer from Kathy
at Mom Wife Woman
1.)
What
is my greatest joy in life?
-My daughter. Sometimes it still
amazes me that I created this person and it’s amazing to see her grow up. She’s
9 now and she’s definitely become her own person and I’m so proud she’s mine!
2.) Knowing what you know now, what
advice would you give your 18-year-old-self?
-Just say no to credit cards! I made some pretty unwise decisions with
credit cards at 18 that still haunt me today. I would emphasize the importance
of financial responsibility and how the decisions you make today, will impact
your life for years to come.
3.) What’s your favorite TV
show?
-I would have to say Gossip
Girl. I was so sad when it ended, but I
can watch re-runs on Netflix and never get tired of them.
4.) What are three things
you cannot live without?
-My cellphone would definitely be
number one. It’s so much more than just a phone, I use it for practically
everything! My chapstick would probably
be number two. Three would probably be my planner. It helps keep me organized at work and keep
track of important Dates.
5.) Who is your favorite
fictional character?
-Ha, I’m watching Game of Thrones
as I type this, so it’s only apt that my favorite fictional character right now
is Arya. She’s shown a strength that is far beyond her years!
6.) What is your most
prized possession?
-I’m not a hugely
materialistic person, so I’m not sure I have one single prized possession. Probably
the things I treasure most in life are my photo books and photo albums. No material possession can top the memories
contained in those books!
7.) Describe yourself in
three words.
-determined, loyal, and caring.
8.) What is your guiltiest
pleasure?
-eek! Probably smoking. I know, I
know it’s horribly bad for me and I need to quit asap, but man, it’s still a
guilty pleasure I enjoy! Don’t judge!
9.) What single quality do
you most appreciate in people?
-Honesty. Trust is paramount in ANY relationship and
you can’t have trust without honesty. I would rather hear a little harsh
honesty, than a pleasing lie any day of the week.
10.) What’s your favorite
post that you’ve written?
-This one here: It’s taken me 32+ years but I’ve finally
started to figure out proper makeup application and I hope my post will help
someone else! The biggest problem I’ve had finding good makeup tips is that a
lot of the makeup and tools are WAY out of my budget, so I plan on focusing on
budget friendly makeup!
