liebster award

hey everyone! 

dorothy from prep in your step nominated me for the liebster award! 

you should definitely go check out her blog! 

i love that this award entails you to answer questions about yourself / share some weird facts about yourself.

What the Liebster Award is: "Liebster" is a German word meaning kind, sweet, or generous.

• Once nominated by another blogger, the blogger has to answer a set of questions asked to them by the person who nominated them, and then pass it on to other blogs they think would deserve the award if they chose to do so!
• List 11 facts about yourself, answer the 11 questions asked to you, write your own 11 questions, and nominate 11 other up and coming blogs.
• Also in the post, you should thank whoever nominated you and attach a link of their blog, out of courtesy.
• It is a great way to acknowledge other awesome blogs and bloggers and to get to know fellow bloggers better!

even though i just posted a 25 facts about me vlog i will try super hard to come up with 11 more creative facts  

1. i've been really liking the color yellow lately 

2. i literally can't wait for it to be warm outside so i can wear all of my summer dresses again

3. i check the weather channel app on my phone a ridiculous amount of times a day

4. i really love Eminem

5. i'm a self proclaimed pinterest addict - like get me off of it (but not really)

6. i love to read memoirs about people who have had rough lives. i don't know why but their stories just intrigue me. if you like these kinds of books then you should read Three Little Words i've re-read it and that says a lot about the book! 

7. my friends mom makes the worlds best shepards pie and i could eat 95762 pounds of it 

8. i had a goldfish once that lived for five years. and it wasn't some exotic, expensive goldfish either. it was the kind that you win at the fair. the kind that is only supposed to last five hours. this fish even had some personality - call me crazy but it really did! 

9. i'm a sucker for cute packaging. even if i don't need a certain product, i will buy it if it has cute packaging. i'm a  consumerist

10. i try to be crafty but if i can't get something to look the way i want it to then i give up and storm off. i think  i like digital art so much, because i CAN get things to look the way i want them to! 

11. i hate getting pedicures. like why would i pay people to touch and tickle my feet? 

now for dorothy's questions for me : 

(1) What is your ideal Spring Break vacation spot?

(7) If you were a boy what was your name going to be?

my parents said that they only imagined me being a girl so they never came up with a boy name 
(8) Favorite color combination?

this is a difficult question, but probably tiffany blue and white

being able to meet some awesome people, and being able to have a creative outlet

Liebster Blog Award!

i just finished reading Signe's (from significantly styled) blog post, and was completely surprised when i saw that i was nominated for the lobster blog award! thank you so much signe! 
**edit, turns out i was nominated yesterday by rFe from Srat In The City. how cool is it that i've been nominated twice?! i felt like i should just add onto this post, instead of making another one, because i don't want y'all to feel like you're being spammed!**
For this award, you have to share eleven facts about yourself, answer the eleven questions that the person nominated you made up, and then make up eleven more questions for your nominees.

2. i'm a slob. my room is always a mess, and my so is my closet. 
3. i'm going to be repeating sophomore year of high school. and it's not because i'm stupid, it's because i was VERY sick last year. (post on this coming soon!)

i'm definitely a down to earth, go with the flow kind of girl. 

5. If you could die your hair a different color, what would that color be?

i wouldn't change my hair color! i mean, maybe a would go a little bit lighter, but i would never do anything too drastic!
