Another Liebster Award?

No you're not experiencing Deja vu. Yes I am doing another Leibster Award post! I was nominated by the amazing and hilarious Tessie of Socks with Sandals (and other fashion disasters)! If you can't tell she has an awesome sense of humor from her blog's name, then I don't know. I just don't know.  Anyways I'd love if you all gave her blog a look!

Now I'm sure most of you already know the drill but for those of you who don't know what the Liebster Award is, basically it's a blog award that recognizes talented but very little known blogs. The goal here is to help promote blogs with under 200 followers,this way people get to discover amazing new blogs and make new blogger friends at the same time!

There's a few rules though:

When someone nominates you, they leave you ten questions. You must make your own post answering these questions  and then create 10 of your own questions for 10 of your own nominees. Lastly you can't nominate the person that nominated you and you should probably tell people that you nominated them or else they'll never know!
Hope I explained that clearly, now it's time to answer some questions!

Tessie's Questions:

1. Are you a morning or night person?
 In the past I would have easily answered night, but I'm slowly trying to become a morning person. There's something so comforting about waking up when the sun's barely peaking it's head out and just going outside and drinking a cup of coffee/tea and relaxing (while scrolling through my instagram/bloglovin feed!). Although I'll admit I have a rough start!  I am incredibly tough to wake up in the morning and I absolutely loathe my alarm clock!

2. Descibe your perfect day.
Honestly this is a tough one because there are many scenarios that I can think of that I would call a "perfect day". I guess if I combined them all I'd be with friends and family at the beach, watching one of my favorite bands, eating some of my favorite foods while shopping! Boy does that sound hectic!

3. In your opinion, are rainy days depressing or relaxing?
My love for rainy days is far greater than any person's should be. Just check out my About Me! So yeah, relaxing for surrrrreeee.

4. What one saying/phrase/cliche/sentence describes you best?
A beautiful Mess. I'd like to think that even though my life can be a big disastrous mess at times that everything will turn out beautifully in the end. I suppose that's just part of the journey. I also really like this quote from Elsie De Wolfe!

5. Given the choice, would you go back in time or forward, and when?
I would probably go back in time. I wouldn't go forward because I'd like the future to be a surprise and I'd be too tempted to change something that I didn't like. I'd probably visit my early childhood, sense I don't remember that too well!


6.  If you were "starting over" in life, and could only bring one object, what would you bring?
This is a deep question, however my answer's not. I'm gonna have to say my phone. Even though I'm starting over and obviously don't have much purpose for a phone I'd still like to be able to listen to music and have it in case an emergency pops ups!

7. Dogs or cats (or rabbits, or parrots, or goldfish, etc...)?
Can I say dogs and cats? I love dogs, I'm the proud mom to one shnau-tzu named Zooey. But I'm also a wannabe cat lady! I love buying cat themed clothing and anything else. One day I'd like to have my own, but until then I'll admire them from a distance (basically the internet)! 

Zooey at 9 weeks.

Zooey today! Sorry for the bad cell phone quality photo. And yes I know she's due for a haircut!

8. Who is the one famous person you'd love to meet?
Oh my, I've got so many! Like seriously, I'm a crazy fangirl. I guess if I only got to meet one, I'd meet Tyler Joseph of Twenty One Pilots. I am obsessed with them right now and I'd love to meet the man behind those creative, inspirational, and slightly neurotic lyrics.

9. Read the book or watch the movie?
Both. I love reading the book first to see how faithful  the movie is too the novel and spot the differences. In a perfect world I'd always read the book before watching the movie.

10. Who is your favorite fictional character?
"Favorite" questions are always so difficult! I will give you three that I admire.
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's because she just has such a positive and upbeat attitude about life even when things aren't ideal. Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby because of his determination and perseverance. He overcame many obstacles, and did everything he could to get all that he wanted. Lastly Belle from Beauty and the Beast because as a kid and even now I could relate to her "wanting something more than this provincial life" and her love of literature.

11. What is your favorite activity?
Writing.

I was nominated for a Liebster Award!

Hey everyone so today's going to be a bit of a special post because drum roll please.... I've been nominated for a Liebster award by the amazing and talented Georgina! I'd appreciate it so much if you guys checked out her blog, it's super cute and I know you're going to love it!

For those of you who don't know what the Liebster Award is, basically it's a blog award that recognizes talented but unknown blogs. The goal here is to help promote blogs with under 200 followers,this way people get to discover amazing new blogs and be happy.

There's a few rules though. When someone nominates you, they leave you ten questions. You must make your own post answering these questions  and then create 10 of your own questions for 10 of your own nominees. Lastly you can't nominate the person that nominated you and you should probably tell people that you nominated them or else they'll never know!
Hope I explained that clearly, now it's time to answer some questions!


Georgina's questions:


1. What's your favorite season?

Definitely fall. I love everything about it, the cold weather,sweaters, scarves,beanies,boots, falling leaves and all the pumpkin flavored foods and drinks! Especially Starbucks, I love their pumpkin spice lattes! (Plus my birthday is in Fall!)

2. Favorite high-end and drugstore/high street brand?

So I''m going to assume this question is about makeup. My favorite high-end brand right now is probably Make Up Forever. I recently bought one of their foundations and I'm in love with it, I would love to try more MUF products in the future! My favorite drugstore brand is Burt's Bees. I love that their products are all natural and they don't do animal testing, plus their pomegranate lip balm is amazing!

3.What's your favorite place to go on Holiday?

I've never really been anywhere for the holidays outside of California but if I could go anywhere in the world I'd like to go to Paris or New York for the holidays!

4. How would your friends describe you?

Well I think this applies to pretty much everyone who knows me. I'm going to be honest with you guys and say I'm sure everyone would describe me as shy or quiet and probably the most caring one of the bunch. I really am an introvert at heart, and not as outgoing as I'd like to be. It takes time but once I get to know you better, I definitely will open up to you more!

5. What/Who inspired you to start your blog?

First and foremost, although this might sound cliche, my love of writing and love of fashion is what inspired me most to start blogging. Secondly,Miss Indie. Hers was the first blog I ever read, after I seen her as ModCloth's featured blogger of the month. I  followed her blog, and then one day I thought to myself "hey I think that's something I'd like to do too!" and here we are today.

6. What's your favorite blog?

This is so difficult to answer! I follow so many amazing blogs and I love them all. But if I could only read just one blog for the rest of my life, I'd  say Scathingly Brilliant. Her blog is just so pretty and girly and her (usually pastel and vintage inspired) outfits are always perfection. Reading her blog has definitely inspired me to take more fashion risks and wear what I want to wear even if it's not what "in" or the latest trend at the moment.

7. What was the first make-up item that you ever bought or was bought for you?
Besides lip balms and lipglosses, the first real make up item I ever bought was a really random little Benefit kit with a few sample size product
s of theirs. I also bought Urban Decay's Super Curl mascara at the same time.

8. What is your favorite nail varnish color?

My go to nail color is definitely black. I just think it's a really classic color and it goes with everything. This summer though, I've really been digging pastel polishes, especially mint colored polishes!

9. What is your main haircare product?

I honestly don't use much product in my hair, most days I don't have any in my hair at all. If I do, it might be hairspray, some kind of defrizzer, or sea salt spray. In my opinion the best thing a girl can have for her hair is a straightener, I don't know what I'd do without mine!

10. What's your favorite pastel color?

It's a tie between mint and lilac.

There you have it guys! Hope you enjoyed reading my answers, now here are my nominees!
