Hello Friends,
During my disppearing acts from posting regularly on my blog, I have managed to get a few Liebster Awards which I am forever grateful for. The fellow bloggers who have nominated me are Glossy Lacquer, Mish and Gypsy Moon. Thank you all - you have made my day!
In order to accept the award, you must follow a few rules:
1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves
2. They must answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them
3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag
4. They must then chose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post
5. These lucky bloggers must then be told
6. There's no tag backs
This may be a bit tricky as I was tagged three times and in fairness will answer each of the 11 questions. I will try to make it as entertaining as possible and not have too much for all you folks to read! I also hope I haven't tagged anyone who has received this award before but if you do, you're just extra special!
Things about myself:
1. Let's start off with the best piece of information! I am currently pregnant with my first bub! Hubby and I are extremely excited and cannot wait to meet our munchkin in March 2013. (This also explains my lack of regular posting..sorry!)
2. I currently drive a 4WD and as short as I am, I cannot see well over the dash board enough to 'park it like it's hot' because the car feels HUUUUUGE. Doesn't stop me from going shopping though! I just park wherever there is easy parking. Concrete barriers and walls make me feel claustrophobic!
3. I have had hyperhydrosis ie. excessive sweating, in my palms ever since I was born (too much information?)
4. I am a sucker for action packed movies. Give me anything with explosions and guns over a love story or comedy any day.
5. On the topic of guns, I went rifle shooting on my 30th birthday. Couldn't think of a better way to kick off the dirty thirties!
6. I have read the 50 shades trilogy and loved it. Don't judge me. The so-called love story was intriguing. Really!
7. I have recently learnt how to make soy wax candles and have made the decision to never, ever buy candles from a store ever again. Can anyone say, 'rip off?'
8. I am going to be keeping true to my new years resolution and learning how to swim later this year! I figure it is no better time than now to do it considering swimming is a great form of exercise for pregnancy.
9. I am trying to squeeze in another trip somewhere by the end of the year. Not sure whether I should keep it locally within Australia or if I should be brave and venture out to nearby countries. Any suggestions?
10. The current song that I am trying to learn to play on piano is by no other but Whitney Houston - I will always love you (man, it's such a sappy song but beautiful at the same time on the piano!)
11. I am missing the glorious food we encountered in NYC. Oh how I miss that city!
11 answers to questions from Glossy Lacquer:
1. If you could only wear one nail polish for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? China Glaze Lubu Heels - the black base with red glitter gives it the oommph and character of an awesome nail polish colour. If I can't have black or red, I'll take both thanks!
2. Which fashion or beauty trend do you wish would just go away? Floral pants! Whyyyyyy?
3. Why did you start blogging? Thought blogging will be a great way to capture all the different nail looks that I do and have some fun at the same time.
4. Favourite beverage? I have lots and can't decide on a favourite! Apple juice, hot chocolate, milk, tea, coffffeeeeeee (oh-em-gee missing coffee right now!)
5. If you could do anything without worrying about money, what would you do? Travel forever!
6. Are you superstitious? I would like to say no BUT the other day this question came up at a dinner party and both hubby and I realise that the only superstitious-like thing we do is not have the volume in the car or on the tv set to 13. It either has to be 12 or 14, no questions asked! Weird huh?
7. What is one thing, apart from necessities like water, food and shelter, do you feel you could not live without? I know they're not a 'thing' but I can't live without my family.
8. Do you ever leave home without manicured nails? Absolutely, as shameful as that is. It used to be rare but nowadays it seems more common.
9. What is your favourite item in your wardrobe? Jeans for sure. It is a very versatile piece!
10. Which song have you listened to this most in your life, or in your iTunes? Oh dear. That's a good question. I'd say 'Ice Cube - You Can Do It' (the song rocks!)
11. Who is your favourite celebrity and who is your least favourite? Beyonce is one of the greatest entertainers EVER. As for least favourite, there are plenty! One that came to mind is that David Spade fellow. Something about that guy just gives me the irrits!
11 answers to questions from Mish:
Still to come (awaiting link from Mish - sorry Mish!)
11 answers to questions from Gypsy Moon:
1) If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? Nothing extravagant but I would probably start buying things for the nursery and baby clothes and toys!
2) If you could meet any one person (from history or currently alive), who would it be? My baby! These next six months better fly like they all say.
3) What book are you currently reading? Nothing at the moment. I am struggling in that department!
4) The last thing that made you really laugh out loud? Probably something that one of my dogs did because they have so much character and love picking on each other.
5) Describe yourself in three words. Extremely bad cook! :)
6) What is something fun you are going to do today? Hopefully I will be able to get out and about for a walk along the river when the hubby comes home. I am actually a bit sick with a cold as I am writing this post and if I feel a bit better I can go out for some fresh air! Yep..... that's my fun for the day!
7) Favourite book/movie when you were a child? Peter Pan!
8) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Hawaii for sure.
9) Have you ever won a trophy? No. I sucked at everything when I was younger.
10) Do you touch-type? Yes.
11) Are you a morning person or a night owl? Neither! Ha! I'd say I'm a mid-day person.
