Awards

Creative Blogger Award

Hey everyone!

I was casually stalking Jen’s blog and came across her post about the “Creative Blogger Award”, I read it until the end and noticed she had nominated me, haha! Definitely go check out her blog she is such a sweetheart – thanks again Jen for the nomination! ❤

Rules:

  • Nominate 20 other blogs and their links
  • Thank and post the link of the blog that nominated you (very important)
  • Share 5 facts about yourself to your readers
  • Notify all nominees via their social media/blogs
  • Pass these rules on to them

I’ve actually done a similar nomination like this which was the “Very Inspiring Blogger Award” and the “Versatile Blogger Award” both contain more facts about me, so check them out if you’d like to know more about me ;).

Anyway onto the five facts about me (thinking I’ll make these facts beauty, hair and fashion related):

1. This is a sad fact, but my lashes NEVER stay curled! It’s so annoying, I’m too scared to try using heat on them though 😦 #asianeyeprobs.

2. I own so many lipbalms it’s crazy, but my lips are super sensitive so not all of them are suitable for me. My life saving one is Carmex and I am yet to find a better one – do any of you have recommendations? I will probably do a post about Carmex soon too, so keep your eyes peeled!

3. I am LOVING the romper trend right now! They are super comfy (feels like you’re wearing pajamas) and cute. I currently own 3.

4. I love having my hair curled (not like the pic though 😉 ) – I am slightly tempted to get it permed!

5. My hair grows super slow, which is so annoying! I have been trying to grow it for like 5 years now but it’s still not the length I’d like it to be. (Obviously I’ve got haircuts but my hair does really grow slower than a snail moves -_-).

Hope you guys liked reading my answers and now on to the nominations:

Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

Hi guys!

I’m was so happy and excited when I realised I had been nominated for not one, but TWO awards! Toby from https://poshandspicy.wordpress.com nominated me for the Sisterhood award and I’m sooo thankful for that! Definitely go and show her blog some love, it’s a great read. x

Other wonderful blogs who have nominated me:

The rules are as follows:

Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site. Put the Award logo on your blog. Answer the ten questions sent to you. Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer. Nominate seven blogs.

  1. Describe yourself in three words
    This is a hard one – describing yourself is always hard & you don’t want to sound arrogant. I think I would describe myself as hard working, organised and understanding (most of the time anyway, haha!)
  2. What made you start blogging?
    My 6 week break came up so I thought it’d be a great way to pass time & it seemed fun.
  3. Where do you usually find yourself while posting?
    I usually find myself posting about fashion inspired things or personal posts (I think that answered the question).
  4. Tell me about your happiest moment.
    There are many things which I could pick, but I think it would be when my boyfriend made me origami flowers for Valentine’s Day with little messages inside them, it was soo cute.
  5. Tell me three things that is on your bucket list.
    Love this question. Mine are:
    – To go hiking up Mt Kosciuszko again – was probably one of the best experiences of my life!
    – Visit Europe
    – Learn another language (even though I’m Chinese, I can’t speak Cantonese or Mandarin 😦 )
  6. What is your favorite post?
    So far my favourite post is the one where I show you all my nail designs (https://vogueinfatuation.wordpress.com/2014/12/08/nail-designs-ive-done/).
  7. Which city/country  would you like to visit?
    London as I stated before.
  8. Tell me one thing that makes you unique
    I really don’t know about this one!
  9. Who is your idol ?
    Don’t really have one, if I had to pick I would pick my parents.
  10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
    Hopefully having a job in accounting and engaged!
