I never win anything!

JC from Sweet Love and Ginger was so sweet and nominated me as one of her recipients for the Liebster award that has been floating around the blogspace. I feel like I just won a prize! Woo! Thanks JC!

The purpose of this award is to share and support little blogs like mine (under 200 followers) and maybe help us get some more awesome friends such as yourself. I'll share some bits and pieces about me and then my super cool nominee's can do the same (if they feel like participating, of course).

So, if you are still with me..here we go.

Award Rules:

1)      Post 11 things about yourself

2)      Answer all the questions your nominator sets for you

3)      Come up with 11 questions for the people you’ve nominated

4)      Choose 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award (200 followers or less)

5)      Go to their page and tell them

1. I saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 yesterday and I loved it. I'm a Twilight fan. There, its out in the open.

2. Wearing so many layers of clothes everyday is making me stressed out. I feel heavy and confined in all these jackets, scarves, hats and boots! How do you people do it every year??

3. I've discovered a love for tea recently. Maybe the cold weather? I love fruity and floral teas.

4. I have a bad habit of picking my split ends. Anyone else?

10. I could be a professional sleeper. I just love sleeping and man, am I good at it.

JC's Questions:

1)      If you could be a superhero which one would it be?

Sailor Moon! I spent a good amount of my childhood wanting to be her.

2)      What is your favorite way to spend an afternoon?

I love afternoons without plans. Just walking around the city, window shopping, meeting friends for drinks...casual things like that.

3)      What is your favorite color?

Pink and teal :)

4)      What got you into blogging?

I wanted a place to log my recipes. Then I decided I liked it.

5)      What is your biggest pet peeve?

When people scrape their plates with their fork/knife and it makes that screeching sound. It makes me want to jump out of my skin!!

6)      When you were 5 what did you want to be when you grew up?

I don't remember. I think the little mermaid. Yep, I wanted to be half fish, live underwater with a fish as my bff and brush my hair with a fork. Good choice, Brit.

7)      What is your dream vacation?

I think I'm living it right now! But I would love to go to South America next!

Nutella. Its an unhealthy relationship but I do love it sooo.

9)      What drives you? (It can be a long term goal, or purpose in life etc..)

I just want to make a difference in the world, in some small way. I want to run a business, have a family and not take anything for granted. Happiness drives me!

10)  What do you spend the most money on?

Food. For sure. I mean I spend 4 euros on a little thing of smoked salt butter because its the best thing I've ever tasted! I shop for food like normal people shop for clothes.

Snoozee.
