The Liebster Award!

Yay! My small blog has been nominated for a Liebster award :) This made me super happy because I had quite a slow start with my blog and it's only started building up recently. I've been putting in a lot more effort with my posts and it's starting to pay off! Thank you Emma from www.peacelovevintage.com for nominating me :)

So, how this works is I have to answer the questions that Emma has given me, so that you can get to know a bit more about me and my blog. This award is aimed at blogs with under 300 followers and is a really great way of introducing people to new blogs and helping each other get new readers! So let's start!

1. Tell me your biggest inspiration! What inspires you daily and keeps you positive?
This is a tough one! I love looking at sites such as Pintrest daily and make boards of things I want to do - this helps me keep inspired and get lots of ideas, plus always gets me motivated to be trying new things. Another thing that helps me with this is my university course because it's so creative; it's always giving me ideas! I think I'm a pretty positive person anyway as well, but I suppose just being around people that make you happy, keeps you happy :)

2. Recommend one dupe that you love! Makeup, beauty or haircare - just whatever you love most!

Oooh I posted one of my favourite dupes not too long ago here, but it's one of the Revlon lip crayons which is exactly like one of my MAC lipsticks!

3. What is your favourite Winter 2014 trend? Fashion or Otherwise.

My favourite Fashion Trend is definitely Tartan! I love getting out my scarf and trousers every year. On the beauty side I'm always a fan of berry lips!

4. New year is coming up! What is something you would love to do or see in 2015?

I'm hoping that 2015 is going to be a good year for me! I'm taking my first trip to America, something I've always wanted to do, I hoping to pass my driving test in January, and I'd also love to move out of home for the first time! Oh and a new job!

5. Name something you want to achieve in your lifetime. Big or small, what is your dream?

The problem with being a creative person is that your dreams are always changing. At the moment my dream is to move to America and do something with my degree, whether it be a personal stylist, visual merchandiser or otherwise. I'd also love to be a social media manager for a Fashion company!
 
6. Do you prefer to give a gift or receive it?! (Be honest!)

Haha! I have to admit as nice as it is to receive a gift, I think I prefer giving them. I love seeing peoples faces when they see what you've got them. I normally take a lot of time choosing gifts and I love wrapping and gifting everything, so really I just enjoy the whole lot!

7. Would you rather live a year without your phone or your computer/laptop?

Without my computer definitely, I can get pretty much everything on my phone anyway!

8. Are you dreaming of a summer holiday to a beach or a city?

Tough one!As much as I love beaches I can get a bit bored of them after a few days if there's nothing to do except sit and tan, and cities always have lots of things to do. So at the moment, I'd probably go with a city!

9. What inspired you to chose your blog name? Do you still like it now?
When I first started my blog I thought I would only be writing about fashion and nothing else. However when I got more into it, I found that I really love photographing beauty products and writing about them, so I'm not really a huge fan of my blog name any more but it's also not too bad :)

10. What did you think of the 2014 Victoria Secret show?

 I loved it! Super jealous of all the models as usual, and now wishing I was a lot richer to go on a little shopping trip! Haha!

11. If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would you say?

Don't always leave all your work to the last minute! But also, grades aren't everything. If you enjoy what you're doing, then don't feel like you're not as good as everyone else. 

So those are all of the questions! Thank you for nominating me Emma I have enjoyed answering them :D
