This award is for bloggers whose blogs you enjoy and make you smile.



Rules: Give 11 facts about yourself.  Answer 11 questions.  Make 11 questions for the people you nominate to answer.  Nominate 11 lovely blogs!  

11 facts:

  1. I randomly make references to movies or shows or even songs in everyday life (when the situation calls for it).
  2. I laugh a lot.  My friends think I'm crazy for laughing until I cry.
  3. I am a Biology major and Neuroscience minor in college.
  4. I like to knit and crochet.  I consider myself a crafty person, I love DIYs

  9. I absolutely love the beach.
  10. I want to travel the world and experience different cultures.  
  11. Classical music helps me study without getting frustrated.

11 Questions answered:

1) What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
      I turn on the light next to my bed to help me wake up.  Once I get up I put on my socks because my feet       are always ridiculously cold.
2) Who was the first celebrity you ever had a crush on?
      I honestly don't know
3) Can you remember the names of you very first best friends?
       Uhhh...
4) If you had to describe yourself using a food, which would you choose?
       I like this question.  I would have to go with a strawberry.
5) What is your favourite school-related memory?
      Finding out there was a snow day and school is canceled.  It's not that I hated school I just can't     think of anything I would consider a favorite.
6) What is the next book on your reading list?
       The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.  I hear it's sad, so I am prepared to cry.
7) Did you give something up as a child you wish you had carried on?
       Gymnastics, it was super demanding but I wish I carried on with it for a bit longer.
8) What are your career plans?
       Research biologist
9) Who or what is your biggest source of inspiration?
       My mom.
10) Would you rather have one true love for one year, or as many great (but not in love) relationships as you could ever want for any given time? (that was a hard one to word!)
      That's a hard one but I'd go with true love for one year.  Even though I would probably reminisce   about it forever.  Why only a year?  A year is so short.
11) Is there something you want to tell anyone right now but can't??
       Not really, I'm not much of a secretive person.

My turn...

1)  Are you introspective or are you an extrovert?

http://roadtriptheworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/LiebsterAward_3lilapples.png

Here are the rules...

1. Link back to the blogger who nominated you thanking them.

3. Create 10 questions of your own to ask some other bloggers.
4. Share the love: Choose 10 other bloggers, with less than 200 followers, to nominate and send them a comment or message letting them know you've nominated them.

Questions and Answers:

1. Where are you from?
I am from Brooklyn, New York.
2. How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging for about a month.  
3. The all important question: tea or coffee?
TEA! I love tea, especially when the weather starts too cool down and I carry my beloved tea thermos and extra tea bags around the college campus.  I have a sizable tea collection in my cupboard.  My favorite tea is green tea.
 4. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take three things (beauty or other), what would they be?
Wow.  I would have to say... Cocoa butter (for my lips and my skin if I dry out), a good book and lighter to start campfires and help me cook.   
5. When did you first start using makeup?
At age 14 I started using eyeliner.  I used eyeliner on my bottom lid only the top was too awkward for me to reach (at the time). Haha. After a while I got the hang of it.  
6. Do you have any pets, what are their names?
I have a fish tank of nameless fish at the moment.  At one point I did have a tortise, I let him walk around the house during the day and let him eat lettuce and at nighttime I would put him to bed.   
7. If you could have any beauty product delivered to your door right this second, what would it be?
I would have to say anything from La Mer.  Their products seem very luxurious and magical.
8. Do you prefer summer or autumn/winter polish?
I prefer summer nail polish because I feel that I have more options.  I test out a few colors, but I always end up back with nude-pink shades. 
 9. What is your favorite colour?
Red  
10.What is that one must-have product you own and why?
Beauty-wise I'm going to have to go with my trusty cocoa butter because it is a lifesaver.  Non-beauty-wise it would have to say my laptop because I use it on a daily basis to blog, study or surf the web.
