Leibster award

This award is given to newbie bloggers by other bloggers, and although being new in this community can be scary and overwhelming, it has definitely confirmed my passion reading and writing, and whether the content is good or bad makes no difference because you learn from everything! This award allows you to nominate 10 people, new to the blogging community, and answer a set of 10 questions, and in turn they nominate 10 more people and ask 10 more questions. And so it continues.

I was nominated about a week ago by the wonderful Sophie-Ellie- thank you so much! Please check her out, she's a book, beauty and lifestyle blog, and I always enjoy reading her posts. Sorry it's taken me ages to post this, this week has been rough and manic.

I'll try and keep my answers quick, and not ramble..

1. Are you an animal lover? If so, what animal/s do you love? If not, why not?
I most definitely am a crazy cat lady! I have a feline called Mog, a black and white beauty.

2. If you could get a free holiday to any destination, where would you go and why?
USA! The sights, sounds and broadway is where I want to be. I love getting caught up in busy, hectic places. 

3. What do you think is the best thing about blogging and why?
Meeting new people with the same interests as you, stretching your own limits and learning about yourself. 

4. What do you think is the worst thing about blogging and why?
Thinking of relatively interesting things to write about, and also the amount of time it takes for me to type and finalise a post!

5. How many make up products do you use on your face for an everyday look? (count them up!)
Currently, none! Besides moisturiser and vaseline, I am barefaced and have never used foundation (unless I'm in a stage performance). Usually, because I'm usually on bed rest, there's no need!  

6. If you were on a date with someone yummy and famous e.g. Gerad Butler or Ryan Gosling, where would you want them to take you and why?
I am a sucker for romance, something like watching the sunset on the beach with a picnic and getting to know each other would be perfect. It's somewhere we can be silly and create amazing memories, but also have meaningful conversation as the night goes on. 

7. What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? E.g. a mountain view.
The sunset on a beach holiday this year. (See a prominent theme emerging?!) My family and I were in Devon and we had a barbecue earlier in the evening. We played games and I read, it was lovely. 

8. What is the best present you have ever received and why?
Interesting question! When I had my very first brain surgery in 2011, my best friends from my local pantomime group put together a handmade scrapbook full of pictures and get well soon messages. It's my most treasured possession, full of memories and was a very thoughtful gift. 

9. Do you read? If so what's your favourite author?
Thats like asking 'Is the sky blue?' and 'Who's your favourite child?' I cannot answer. If I had to though, I think it would currently be between Jodi Picoult and John Green, and that's the closest I'm going to get to a decision.  

10. Do you love Christmas or are you a Scrooge?!
I love it. Besides birthdays, its the best time of the year. 

My questions to you are: 

1. If you were a literary character, who would you be and why?
2. Are you spontaneous or a planner? 
3. What is your recipe for creativity?
4. Write the first sentence of your autobiography.
5. What was the last goofy thing you did?
6. What 3 words would other people use to describe you?
7. What one thing would you rescue from your house if it was burning down?
8. Are your nails painted right now?
9. What was the last interesting conversation you had about? 
10. Whats your favourite snack food?   

I'm very new to the community myself, so I will only nominate a few other people I have stalked their book blogs and think they're brilliant. Always looking for new blogs to follow so please comment and I'll have a look!!
