Hi Everyone, I am so happy to have been nominated for The Liebster Award, not once but twice within 24 hours, I am so happy ^_^
So as I have two nominations I have two sets of questions to answer, both girls went to the trouble of making 11 questions so it would not be fair to only answer one set!! I hope you don't mind reading a lot today ha ha!!

My Questions Off Wendy .....
1. What is your favorite part about blogging?
I have two favorite parts to blogging, the first is finding something that gets me excited to blog about, and the second is when it goes live and I get to see when people read it and like it and comment and share it makes me so happy ^_^
2. What is the most interesting thing you have learnt about blogging in general?
I would say this is probably how to actually run a bog, using Labels, tags, links, pictures, sharing your blog across social media and how it all works. .... I had a blog a really long time about about 10 years maybe and it was more of a diary blog and I had no idea how to do anything other than write and it went nowhere so I am glad I decided to jump in the blogging world again and do it proper this time.
3. What or who inspired you to blog?
I click on that many links when I am online that I can't remember the first blog I came across the day I started blogging, but I watch a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube and it was something I saw that lead me to a blog post and then it was instantly I thought I need to be doing this...... if you want to know who's blogs I am always on and love and inspire me leave a comment and I can do another post about that.
4. How many hours do you put into your blog?
I try to blog on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday and I spent about 2-3 hours on each post.
5. Which post of yours do you find the most interesting?
Reviews and Haul, they are the ones I find more interesting to read and write.
6. Who is your favorite blogger?
7. What is your favorite beauty product?
Nail polish I just feel so much better when I have it on ^_^
8. What is the most interesting thing about you that your readers may not know?
I love to knit and want to learn how to crochet ...... is that interesting ?? I don't think it is ha ha ha.
9. Where do you see your blog in a few years?
Hopefully with a lot more post's and a lot more readers ^_^
10. What kind of products do you prefer to review?
I love to review nail polish, foundation and skin care.

4. You are given a choice between being rich and lonely or poor and happy, what do you choose?
I would rather be poor and happy, because if you are happy you have everything you have ever wanted, and you can always work and being rich from there ha ha.

9. Online shopping or Venturing out to shop?
Both I spend just as much money if I am online or in store and if I am not out shopping then I will be online ha.
