The Liebster Award pt. 2


Hiii, so this is the follow up to the first part of my Liebster Award!
I felt like it was going to be a very long post I thought it would be better to split it and make it more enjoyable!

Lets get started:

My Questions from Megan:

1. If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
This one is easy for me, an owl! I love them, fully obsessed! I think they're just beautiful, so wise and majestic. To me they feel like animals with power, and that's what I'd want to be like! Powerful & wise!


2. Heels or flats?
I'm definitely more of a flats girl, I love nice pumps and sandals, and I'm obsessed by trainers! I do like to wear heels too though, it's a lot girlier and you do feel so classy! And this is good life advice:


3. What book are you reading right now?
I've bought 'The Fault in Our Stars' and 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' to read! I've read TBINSP before, and it broke my heart.. So honestly I don't even know why I bought it again to put myself through the horror and emotion! 

4. What blog inspired you to start your own?
Easy peasy, my lovely bestie's blog http://beccasbeautyspot.blogspot.co.uk/, she's my best friend, my wifey and my soulmate all rolled into one. This gal keeps me sane, and as well as being my everything, she's so bloody talented with a set of makeup brushes, and some props. My girl is gonna go far!! Inspires me everyday. Pictures are below are of her work for a photoshoot for uni, I was a mugging victim - how amazing and realistic is it??



5. What celebrities would you invite to your birthday party?
The whole Kardashian family and extended fam (i.e. Scott, Kanye, French Montana etc), Eminem, Calvin Harris, Snoop Dogg, Tyra Banks, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting.. It would be a strange mix of people! But they all interest me so much in different ways so I'd love to get to talk to them all!

6. If you could change your name, what would you call yourself?
Holy moly, I'd probably revert to my middle name which is Louise, I think I suit my names so I don't know if I could decide on another!!


7. Guily pleasure?
I shouldn't do it, and I haven't done it in a loooong time because it's just SO bad. But eating a whole tube of pringles in one. Yes I'm a disgusting mess. (p.s do it with salt and vinegar flavoured ones and you'll numb your whole mouth - it's like being at the dentist haha)

8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? 
My weight, for sure my weight. I'm working on it, unfortunately relationships are very tempting to let yourself go, which is fine when you're with that person.. But when you're not, you feel rubbish! I'm working on it though in a healthy way, hence no more full tubes of pringles ;-)


9. What is your favourite quote?
"A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor" - even when you're having a bad day, there's always something you can learn to better yourself and to try and be better in that situation if it ever happens again!



10. Describe your dream holiday.
Going across America in an open top car with the wind blowing in my hair with my friends around me. That would be ideal!!

11. How long have you been a blogger and what do you love about it?
I've been blogging for just about a year and a half now (since Feb 2013)! I love it because you can just come home, ramble a few words out and clear your brain. I can't sleep when my head is full so I feel like this is a good recycling ground for me!

Check out the previous post HERE to see who I nominated and what questions I asked them! 

Thanks for reading! xxx

The Liebster Award pt. 1

Evening guys!

I opened my inbox the other day and seen I'd received new comments on a blog post of mine, (always exciting) and when I clicked into it I seen I had been nominated for the Liebster Award not once, but twice by Sara and Megan! Now I can't lie.. I'd never heard of this before! So I did a little rooting around and discovered this is an award that bloggers give to other bloggers to find out more about them and share their favourite blogs with other people! I think this is SUCH a nice idea, the thought of it even put a smile on my face on a busy Thursday morning in the office! Thank you so much Sara and Megan! You can follow Sara on Blogger and on Bloglovin :) and Megan on Blogspot and on Bloglovin!

This was going to be a pretty long post so my questions from Megan will be going up in a separate post which you can find HERE:

The Rules (every set I've seen are different so this is what I'm rolling with!):
1. Thank the blogger that nominated you!
2. Answer the questions they sent you (down below!) 
3. Nominate 11 bloggers to answer your set of questions! (less than 250 followers)
4. Contact them and let them know they've been nominated!

My Questions from Sara!

1. Who would you say is your style icon?
This is actually tricky, I don't necessarily have a style icon, I have girl crushes on a lot of peoples fashion, but style icons like Cara Delevigne, Kate Moss etc are thin.. And I'm not particularly thin! Everything they wear looks AMAZING but it would never look anywhere like that on me! I wear quite a mismatch of styles and trends too, so I don't think I have one particular style icon per say? So I can't really answer! 

2. What is your favourite place to travel to or visit?
Before I moved to England, I probably would have said Spain for a holiday! But now I really appreciate going home and getting to experience the absolutely (mostly) gorgeous place that we live in! When I went home in April with Lizzie we went to the Giant's Causeway and I really enjoyed it! You don't necessarily appreciate things when you're around them all the time!


3. Your top blogging/makeup tips.
Top blogging tip: Do it because you want to do it! So many people blog now because they want to be the next Zoella and get really rich from it, which of course would be lovely! But it's not realistic for anyone that has a full time job and is busy! I really enjoy blogging now that I can come home do it and relax! 

Top makeup tip: DON'T SLEEP IN YOUR MAKEUP. I know it's so easy to come home from a night out when you're a liiiiittle bit worse for wear, but take 5 minutes, rub a wipe across your face and at least try to get it off! Your skin will thank you for it I promise!

4. Your favourite high street foundation?
Without a shadow of a doubt, Rimmel Wake Me Up. I love it, I love it's slight shimmer and I even love the smell. My favourite high street foundation for sure :)

5. Do you have any pets?
At home, yes I have my almost 3 year old shih tzu Harper. And at the house I'm living at now, my landlady has two more dogs called Narla and Milo, so I don't miss Harper just as much as I did last year!


6. What is your occupation?
Officially, I'm Nestle's Corporate Student Nutritionist :)

7. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I would hopefully like to be a Home Economics teacher somewhere in the world, but who knows, I might stay in industry if I enjoy this placement, you never know! Leave it up to fate!


8. Favourite high street shops?
Dorothy Perkins, Primark, River Island (sometimes) and Topshop for a good old splurge!

9. Do most of your close friends/family know about your blog? Where you embarrassed to start with?
Most of my friends and family know! I wasn't really that embarrassed, Becca had been doing it for years so I knew what to expect :)

10. What made you start writing?
I got bored one day in my flat in Manchester and then put fingers to keyboard.. It was history!


So the people I nominate are:
(I've went off their bloglovin' follower count by the way!)
beccasbeautyspot.blogspot.com

And my questions for my nominee's are..


PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE NOT THE ACTUAL QUESTIONS. Just incase...
1. What did you want to be when you 'grew up'?
2. What's your guiltiest make-up pleasure?
3. What is your evening relaxing routine if you have one?
4. What made you start blogging?
5. If you had £100,000, what would you spend it on, and why?
6. Have you got any pets?
7. (Random one!) did you watch Blackfish? What did you think of it?
8. Do you like face wipes or do you prefer a real cleanser?
9. What's your overall life ambition?
10. If you were Prime Minister and could make up one new law, what would it be and why?
11. What 3 celebrities would you have afternoon tea with and why?

Thank you for the nomination Sara and Megan and hope everyone else enjoys the Liebster Award!
