“Liebster Award”

Hi Beautiful Readers!

So I was nominated for the “Liebster Award” by katiealice01.blogspot.co.uk/ Thank you for the privilege to answer your questions.

The Liebster Award is an award given to bloggers that have less than 200 followers. The purpose of this award to bring more recognition and much deserved appreciation for the underground bloggers of the Internet! This is such a brilliant idea to get the unknown bloggers into the bigger community!

1. How old were you when you started blogging?

2. What made you start blogging?

3. Link your most popular blog post!

4. What does your blog act as for you?

5. Do you find it hard to find the time to write blog posts if it is not a part of your professional life?

6. Who is your favourite blogger at the moment?

7. Have you tried vlogging? If not, why?

8. Go to outfit?

9. What do you like to do whilst blogging? (drink a specific drink, listen to music, etc.!)

10. How do you get inspiration on what to write a blog post about?

11. Do many friends and family know about your blog?

1. I started blogging when I was 17 years old. My blog is still quite new. I created it at the start of 2015. It was just something to do during my free time after graduating high school. 

2. I’ve always wanted to blog and write about beauty for a long while. Since I was about 15 I’ve always thought about writing a beauty blog, but never had the time to do so. I had specific plans and ideas of what I wanted to write since then, and when I finally got to graduate I took the time to finally start writing and posting!

3. Most popular blog post at the moment is

4. My blog is honestly just my hobby. It’s a hobby that keeps me busy, and gives me something to look forward to [a reason to buy makeup ;)]. It is a good place where I am able to voice my true opinions of products and connect with other people that are on the same boat as me.

5. I try to force myself to find the time to write blog posts. When I get into a particular blog, sometimes they won’t blog until like 2 months later, and I’m just not down with that! So I want to get my viewers regularly coming back to read and enjoy! And I also have a “publicist/editor/friend” that bugs me to make sure I have a posts ready for Tuesdays!

6. My favourite bloggers at the moment are:

7. I have thought about vlogging, but I don’t think I have thick enough skin to be able to handle the comments on YouTube. I had a YouTube channel once, it was a vlogging channel, and the amount of hate I received within about 2 weeks was absolutely dreadful. It was so bad that I had to delete my whole channel.  So never again!

8. Go to outfit will always be black leggings, loose, cool coloured singlet, a black, thin blazer and heels. My friends can vouch for me to say that this is my look for nearly every party and outing!

9. There are two parts to when I blog; 1. Writing the post and 2. Photos and editing.

When I write the actual post, I like to have music playing (any type of music, from Kanye to Rihanna to Artic Monkeys to Backstreet Boys etc.) and also have a bottle of water handy, as when I’m writing it can take up to a couple hours.

When I take photos and edit, I tend to watch TV shows. I usually just watch through my weekly shows of “How to Get Away With Murder”, “The Mindy Project”, “New Girl”, “Law and Order: SVU” and “Suits”. 

My set up usually looks like this: [insert picture]

After everything is set, I will send off my posts to my “editor” that proof reads everything, corrects and approves the post. 

10. Inspirations on my blogs generally come from what I purchase; beauty wise and opinions that I generally want to speak out about. Also many of my friends are interested in makeup, beauty and fashion, so when I do talk to them, sometimes it will strike some ideas and topics I could potentially talk about. 

11. I haven’t told many friends and family about my blog  because if my blog was passed on to others, I don’t really want them to judge and speak down on my blog that I’ve worked hard on. I guess I would let it happen naturally, if they find, it they find
