Liebster Award

First of all I would like to thank Emily for nominating me for this award - it was a lovely surprise! I was chuffed as a new blogger to find that my blog is being recognised.  The concept of the Liebster Award is to find new bloggers and have a chain line solely on the internet.

Here are the rules:

Step 1. Link back to the person that nominated you for the award.

Step 2. You must write 11 facts about yourself so people can learn more about you.

Step 3. You also have to answer the 11 questions given by the nominator

Step 4. After completing this, you should nominate 11other bloggers that have under 200 followers and then give them 11 questions of your choice. However, you cannot nominate your nominator!

Step 5. You have to let your nominees know that they've been nominated and give them access to the link to find out more about the award.

Step 2; 11 Facts about me:

1. My favourite sport is swimming - I am mad about it and have recently been inspired by the Commonwealth Games and I really want to start again.

2. I have an obsession for 5 Seconds of Summer I have met them 4 times and I particularly like Ashton Irwin ;).

3. My favourite book series is Harry Potter (particularly 'Order of the Phoenix' - but I do love them all) I also enjoy watching the films and really want to visit the studios soon as I hear they are amazing!

4. My favourite thing to do is buy Lush products - my favourite of all time is 'Candy Mountain', closely followed by 'King of Skin'.

5. My favourite film (apart from Harry Potter) is Alice in Wonderland - the cartoon version - I love the obscurity and the excitement. I also really love 'The Wizard of Oz' because it too is very obscure and 'mad'.

6. I have met the Vamps :)

7. My favourite animal is an owl, I think they are really beautiful creatures especially as they feature frequently in Harry Potter! If I ever had my own owl (non-realistic scenario) I would want a whiten similar to Hedwig.

8. As i sit here inhaling the wonderful smell of my Yankee Candles I feel it necessary to mention them in my facts. My favourite scent is 'Loves me, loves me not' which is a very fresh smell of daisies and grass - I would recommend this particularly for the summer!

9. I love painting my nails and recently as it is the Summer Holidays I have been painting them a lot more. My personal favourite for summer is Sparkletini - Strawberry Daiquiri in the W7 collection.

10. Food. Food. Food. My favourite snack to eat on-the-go is Percy Pigs which can be purchased in all different types of flavours such as 'Veggie Percy' and 'Percy Pig and Pals'.

11. Another thing that I enjoy doing is riding my new Pendleton bike that I got for Christmas - I love it!

Step 3; Emily's questions:

1. Why did you start blogging?

Simply to share a passion for pastel and vintage things or healthy snacks that I know others will love too.

2. What is your biggest life achievement?

My biggest achievement would be winning 'Sailor of the year' at my local club.

3. What is your favourite type of blogpost to write?

I haven't done many posts but I have really enjoyed doing my blogs about healthy fairy tale drinks.

4. Who are your main inspirations?

My main inspiration is Rebecca Adlington because she never gave up her dreams of a gold medal, and eventually she got there. Also, Nelson Mandela inspirers me because he brought a lot of peace to the world.

5. Where did the inspiration for your blog name come from?

I really enjoy reading fairy tales as well as baking... 

6. Three must have beauty products?

7. What is your favourite blogpost you have written so far and why?

My favourite would be my Enchanted Wood smoothie because it tasted so nice after taking the pictures and I had a brilliant response from it!

8. Where would you like to travel in the world?

I would love to travel to Australia but also somewhere really unusual like Antarctica!

9. Happiest moment in your life so far?

I cannot remember one memory which has stood out from all of the rest at this particular moment but I have enjoyed many moments with my friends and family.

10. Favourite scent?

This is also a very hard decision but I think Purr by Katy Perry is a very sweet and fresh scent.
