The lovely Ginger Loves Makeup has nominated me for the Liebster Award! This gives me the opportunity to share a little more about myself and to encourage other bloggers with my own nominations.
Here are the rules I’m following for this Liebster post:
- thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.
2. display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”.
(Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)
3. answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.
4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.
5. nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have less than 1000 followers.
(Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this
information!)
6. create a list of questions for the blogger to answer.
7. list these rules in your post. (You can copy and paste them from here.)
Once you have written your post, and published it, you then have to:
8. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award
and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)
I would like to add that you can nominate someone who already has been given this award, as long as
they have less than 1000 followers/subscribers. The idea behind this award is to recognize new bloggers and
help promote them! The benefit is that you get from doing this is that you get some promotion, too!

11. And lastly, what made you start your blog?
I’m not quite sure. It was a new venue for writing to try, and it slowly lured me into sharing more of my thoughts.
My 11 facts about myself are:
- I have finally given Grease 2 (it came with Grease when I bought it a couple years ago), and I find it surprisingly entertaining.
- Mark Wahlberg may be my Fantasy Celebrity Valentine Day Date Draft pick for this year; it’s an inside joke since my boyfriend likes Mark Wahlberg movies so much. Mila Kunis may be a funny choice for him too since she was the romantic lead in a Mark Wahlberg and a Justin Timberlake movie.
- Valentine’s Day has always been my favorite holiday even though I’ve only had a Valentine once. I like the new idea around thinking of it as GALentine’s Day.
- I’m honored to share that my cousin asked me to be her Maid Of Honor at her upcoming wedding. I get to attend to beautiful weddings this spring!
- My dad’s had a Harley my whole life, and I’ve never ridden on a motorcycle. I refuse to ride one.
- My coffee mug today has a British flag on it; my dad and I have matching mugs from England.
- This year marks the 10th anniversary of my first real concert, Hanson (after seeing Avril Lavigne do a small mall show before releasing her second album that spring).
- I love Rock Of Ages and want to see it on stage in New York. The time period in that story is where I would go if I could time travel.
My 11 questions for my nominees are:
- What is your favorite musical?
- What movie is your favorite book to screen adaptation?
- If you could go to any concert this year, which artist would you see?
- What is your favorite pick up line?
- How did you choose your topic for your blog?
- How will you likely spend your Valentine’s Day this year?
- When was your last vacation and where did you go?
- If you were to host a party this upcoming weekend, what would be your ideal theme?
- What’s the biggest risk you have taken for potential gain or success?
10. Who has given you the greatest encouragement on your writing?
11. What movie or book character would you fancy for a Valentine’s Day date?
