Over summer I was nominated to do the Liebster Award by a few lovely bloggers. At that point my blog was still starting out- I was just getting into the swing of it- and it was over summer that I noticed my blog quality improved. Since then, my blog has kept growing and growing. I'm now up to 660 + followers, which is a huge achievement for me, and I couldn't be happier. So I was a little surprised when I got a comment on my last post from Sophie (Lipstick and Love Hearts x) saying she had nominated me.

She has bended the rules a little, as it should be blogs that are under 200 followers that are nominated. But in her words, she's nominated blogs who she thinks deserves more followers- so be sure to check out her post to see the other blogs that have been nominated alongside me.

The rules are as follows:

• Thank the person who nominated you, giving a link back to their blog
• Answer the questions that they gave you
• Link and nominate other blogs which have less than 200 followers
• Give them 11 questions to answer
• Notify those you nominated so that they can answer your questions

The other week I was lucky enough to be nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Katy, and yesterday, I was nominated again by Meryl, who runs the amazing blog The Next Activity.  Meryl posts beautiful pictures (I am very jealous of her camera skills) and I love reading all her posts about what she's been doing. So if you haven't already- check her out! I 100% think you will LOVE her.

So since I've already done one blog post, I've been deliberating how to do this post- another post in full, or link my another post. I've decided to do half and half- I plan to answer the questions that Meryl has set her nominees (mostly because they're so good I couldn't resist) but for the other parts of this award, I will link you to my original post. Which is totally awesome, and not at all long.. yeah right. 

So the rules are as follows...

1. Thank and link back to the blogger who nominated you.
2. Write 11 facts about yourself
3. Answer the 11 questions given to you
4. Nominate bloggers with less than 200 followers, who you think deserves this award and let them know you've nominated them
5. Leave a set of 11 questions for those blogs to answer

1. As above
2. Because I am very uncreative, you can read those facts that took me ages to think of here
3. The questions set by the lovely Meryl...

What is/ was your first job?

Aside from babysitting and child minding jobs that I've been doing (and still am) for a few years now, I had a couple of weeks working in Accessorize, as a summer temp, and I would love to work there again, if only for the discount on all the lovely pieces they have.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

Initially I was going to say Turkey, because I desperately want to go travelling there, but I'm not sure if I would live there.. I'm not quite sure where, but I know I want somewhere hot!

What's your favourite skin care item?

I really love using The Body Shop's Tea Tree range. Especially their face wash, which I found immediately cleared up my skin when I started using it.

Who was your childhood crush?

First crush crush was a boy that I had known since I was born- our families were good friends- and I fancied the pants off of him throughout primary school too. First celebrity crush was most likely Cole Sprouse, as I was obsessed with The Suit Life of Zac and Cody.

Did you have a favourite subject at school?

I have always been one who loves history based subjects. I could not get enough of History- but most of the topics were modern history- so I found I had quite a flare for Classical Studies and Latin. I would probably say Latin was my favourite.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

This year.. Hmmm... Since its now officially over half way through the year, I think its acceptable to say Christmas already.

What's your favourite book?

The Hunger Games Trilogy has always been a favourite of mine- I've read it countless times over the years. More recently, I've really enjoyed The Lovely Bones.

How would you spend your Sunday?

I like Sundays being lazy- go to church in the morning, then a walk in the afternoon, or a little poke around town. Nothing too hectic or requiring too much effort.

Where's your next holiday?

My next holiday abroad has been booked, very far in advance, to Magaluf for next August (organised I know) with my little sister Eleanor. I am very excited!

What inspired you to start blogging?

I started because I wanted to make a little journal type thing of what I do and my thoughts, I love reading what other people do, so I thought why not!?

Singer/ band that you can't get enough of right now?

Right now, 5 Seconds of Summer, they're new album is out which I currently have on replay every day.

4./5. As I already nominated blogs, I thought I'd link their Liebster Award posts for people to have a look at, which includes my questions. Some of the girls haven't posted it yet though, in which case I linked their blog.

So there's my take on this Liebster Award Nomination. Please take a look at my first post here, there you'll see my random facts, even more question answers and my list of questions for those bloggers that I nominated. This is really a "get to know me" week!

Thank you once again Meryl and those of you who have read this second Liebster post.
I'm very thankful for the nominations, and love that I've gained some followers and started to speak to other bloggers that I wouldn't have known without this award. If you're not already following me on Bloglovin, I'd love it if you could here's a link to my blog profile.

Love,

Today's post is written with a HUGE thank you to Katy, who is actually a really close friend of mine. She runs a beautiful blog, which I urge you all to check out if you haven't already- here. Katy has very kindly nominated me for a Liebster Award, which I absolutely love the concept of.

I've been reading up on a lot of the posts of others who have been nominated, and its great to get to know people, most of whom I wouldn't have heard of before without this award. So, in short, I was really excited when Katy nominated me- I can share more silly little facts about me, and can hopefully recommend other blogs that some of you may not have heard of.

The rules are pretty simple.

1. Thank/ link the blogger who nominated me. 
As above, but thank you Katy again!

2.Answer the 11 questions they have written for you. 
Here goes!

What would be the name of your alter-ego?
