The Liebster Award

Hey Guys,

Recently I was nominated by the lovely Rachel from 'Where She Goes' for the Liebster Award.

This award is such a great idea as it helps others discover new blogs & it gives other blogs credit for their hard work.

Here are the rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you & link their blog.

2. Answer the questions provided

3. Nominate other blogs for this award

4. Create 11 new questions for the nominees to answer

5. Let the nominees know

The Questions:
1. If everything was free for a day which five shops would you visit?

I wish! Topshop,Brown Thomas, River Island ..I can’t think. Probably Boots because I’d just love all of the skin care products. Maybe Tesco because I’d could have so much free food!

2. If dying your hair had no effect, what colour would you go? 

This is so tough, probably a dirty blonde colour. I always love this colour on anyone. (Also apparently they have more fun)

3. Summer or winter? 

As much as I love my scarf’s, hot chocolates & berry lips in Winter. I’m going to have to go with summer. Summer is just a much happier & freer month.

4. Favourite album of 2014? 

I did mention this in my 2014 favourites, & I said Midnight Memories by One Direction.

I know that might seem weird as that album came out in 2013, but I listened to that album so much during exams & it really helped keep me happy during crappy exams. I also heard that album live in concert last May with my best friend & it was one of the best nights of my life.

5. Who is your biggest role model? 

 I’ve been sitting here trying to think & I have come to the conclusion that I don’t have one specific role model. . They are many people who I look up to for different reasons, my dad, my friends, Emma Watson, Louise Pentland, Johnny Cash.There are so many different things I want to be good at in my life. But there are so many people who have really great qualities that I admire & want to be like.

6. What is your secret dancing song? 

Dancing Queen by Abba. (I do love me some Abba)

7. Strawberry or chocolate milkshake? 

Strawberry, I’m not the biggest fan of sweet things & the thought of chocolate at the moment makes me feel a bit sick.

8. If you could have a telephone call with anyone throughout history, who would you call? 

Jesus. I think we could have an interesting conversation.

9. What is your favourite chocolate brand? 

When I am in the mood for chocolate I do love some good’ol Cadburys.

10. What is the name of your favourite book series? 

The Luke & Eve series by Sophie McKenzie, I’ve read that series more than twice. (I’m a little embarrassed by that fact actually)

11. What would the title of the movie of your life be? 

‘Making a Difference..Hopefully’

Spread a little joy this Christmas.

Hey guys,

So It’s that time of year again....frantically buying Christmas presents, decorating the house, fighting over the last turkey in the shops. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle & bustle of Christmas time. The holiday season is a time of spreading happiness & joy.

But sometimes we tend to forget others less fortunate than us. This year I strongly encourage you to help people who are less fortunate. You don’t need to spend your money if you don’t have it. There are many ways to help. Spread a little joy to someone else this Christmas. Not only will you be helping them but you will feel great after. I just think it’s important to help others especially during the holiday season.
 

 

Here are some ways you can help.

1. Give old usable clothes or toys to homeless shelters

Up to 100 million people are homeless throughout the world, the majority of them women and children.Homelessness is all around us & is a local issue no matter where you live. Focus Ireland estimates that there are up to 5,000 people at any one time who are homeless in Ireland.

This year a couple of friends & I are having a clothes collection for the local homeless. This could be a great idea you & your community could get involved in. Be Santa to the homeless this year.

2. Volunteer your time

Whether its in a food kitchen, youth club or homeless shelter. You time is a fantastic asset to have. An extra pair of hands is always appreciated. Look for opportunities in your local area, everyone has a skill to contribute.

3. Visit a nursing home

This is something I have done twice recently. A group of us visited a couple of nursing homes & sang Christmas carols. This is honestly one of the best things I have ever done. To see the elderly & sick smiling & clapping as we sang was truly amazing. It was a heart warming experience.

4. Donate money

If you have the money this year it was be a great idea to donate to a charity or cause of your choice. If you don’t have money you could always fundraise with friends. There are plenty of ways to do so.

5.Spread awareness

Talk about it, to friends, family anyone & everyone who will listen. Word of mouth is one of the best ways to spread awareness. If you have a blogged  about it. If you are passionate about any charity or illness let people know.

If you have done any of these things let me know in the comments below.

If you have blogged this topic I would love to read it.

Love always,

Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award - Tag

Hey guys,

Yesterday I was nominated for the 'Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award ' by the lovely Sinead from DreamingAgain. Thank you Sinead for the nomination! 

 

Here are the rules:

 

Thank and link the blogger who nominated you.

Post the award logo onto your blog.

Answer the set of 10 questions that the blogger who nominated you has provided.

Set 10 new questions.

Nominate 10 other bloggers to do the tag. 

Here are my answers:

1.      What advice would you give to your younger self?

Oh gosh this is a hard one, I don’t think I regret anything because I believe everything happens for a reason. I’d probably say worry less, I think when I was younger I worried a lot about small things that didn’t matter. Also stop procrastinating.

 

2.      What is your favourite thing to do when you have nothing to do?

Blog or watch YouTube videos.

 

3.      Why did you decide to start a blog?

I had seen other bloggers & Youtubers creating amazing content. I had always been creative, so I thought this was the perfect outlet to send out a positive message.

 

4.      If you could live in any other country in the world where would it be?

This is really hard actually because I had always pictured myself living in Ireland. However, I would really like to live in London. So I’d probably say England.

5.      Would you rather spend €/$/£100 all on make-up or clothes?

I would like to say make-up. But 100 euro is a lot of money to spend on make-up that will go out of date. So for that reason clothes.

6.      If you could give one piece of advice to a large audience what would it be?

Wow, I left this question till last because it was the hardest. Believe in yourself.

 

7.      Would you rather have to eat Chinese or Italian food for the rest of your life?  

I’m actually getting a Chinese tonight with a couple of friends. But usually I’d prefer Italian, as id eat more on the menu.

8.      If you could go on a date with one celebrity who would it be?

Harry Styles, 100%.

9.      What specific character trait do you want to be known for?

I want to be known as passionate, I think passion can be applied to so many things, so defiantly passionate.

 

10. What is your biggest pet peeve?

I talk during movies, I try to hold it in but I’m sure I’m really annoying..sorry.
