Liebster Blog Award! :)

I've been nominated!

Whaaaaat?! I could've sworn I was the only person to ever read my own blog. But alas! I was wrong! I've been nominated for the Liebster Award by the lovely Chloe (if you click her name, it will take to straight to her blog!). Basically, the Liebster Awards is sort of like a giant blog tag, where lesser-known blogs are able to be shared with TONS of other people! Chloe is a new blogger (like me), and besides the fact that she has a UK domain (which, if you know me, makes me suuuuuper jealous because I love everything about the UK), her blog is super cute and I love that she includes so many pictures. It's like reading a letter from a friend. 

ANYWAYS! I'm gonna answer 11 questions Chloe has created and then go ahead and mention blogs I love, as well as other blogs I was nominated with!

_________________________________________________________________________________

1) What is your favourite clothing brand?

Hmm...this really is a hard one. At the moment, I really am loving Wildfox. I have yet to own anything from them but I love how they play with pastels, crazy graphics, and witty sayings. They're a great brand to check out if you're trying to play around with your style. I don't like to categorize my style at all, and I think with Wildfox pieces you can make anything girly, grundy, punk, etc. depending on how you accessorize. 

2) If you could only wear one brand of make-up for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

High End: Probably Nars. I am absolutely head-over-heels for the new Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. I have pretty bad insomnia, so the bags under my eyes are pretty noticeable no matter how much concealer/corrector I use. However, that stuff covers and brightens my under eyes like no one's business. I also love all of the blushes and bronzers. And I promised myself my next foundation would be their Sheer Glow.

High Street (Drug Store): Covergirl. I swear by the new Covergirl Longwear foundation (I'm not sure if that's exactly what it's called) because it's a GREAT dupe for MAC's Pro Longwear foundation. It may also be even better because the Covergirl foundation doesn't make me breakout like the Pro Longwear did for a little while. Also, my absolute favorite mascara is the LashBlast in Very Black in the waterproof formula

3) What is the main thing that makes you unique?

I don't know if I could pick the one thing that makes me unique because everything I'm thinking of, I'm sure someone else has! Haha! But one thing I am proud of is that I'm able to mentally push myself (in a healthy way). If I want to accomplish a goal, I am able to talk myself into pushing to go harder and stronger in order to, not only finish, but finish strong. Before my injury, I was training for a half marathon that I never even thought I could accomplish. Now, I know that this injury is just a speed bump, and once I'm physically able to get up and go, I'm going to continue going for that goal, no matter how much I want to stop.

4) Where do you see yourself in 20 years?

In 20 years, I'll be 40. I really hope that I have a job doing what I love, am in a loving marriage with a man who I trust and loves me just as much as I love him, and surrounded by a huge family. I love kids. I love giant diamond rings. And I love beach houses. I won't complain if I'm blessed with any of those.

5) What is the most expensive piece of makeup you own?

I love make up. But I cringe if I buy anything that's super expensive because I know I'm going to use it up in a short amount of time. But I kinda went all out on the Nars concealer (I'm the color Ginger, btw) just because I love it so much. I think that came to about $30? Maybe a little less.

6) What is the most expensive piece of clothing you own?

My beautiful Jeffrey Campbell Litas. Ugh. They're so hawt. Shout out to the fam for getting them for meeeeeee.

7) Who is your celebrity idol?

Acting wise: Kate Winslet. She's incredible. But I love me some Demi Lovato. I've been through a similar experience as she has, and it truly does help me and give me hope when I have those days where I really feel like everything is against me. 

8) What makes someone attractive in your opinion?

I know EVERYONE says confidence makes someone attractive, but I think it's because it's true. But there most certainly is a difference between "confidence" and "douche baggery", am I right ladies?! I also think it's super attractive when a guy is protective. I have a huge personality. A lot of people would say that I act like I'm a tall person. And I swear I'm a 6'4" football player stuck in a girl's body. So, if a guy is able to contain my crazy mind and make me feel like I 'm safe and have nothing to worry about, then I'm sold.

9) What is your favourite take-away?

I'm not exactly sure what "take-away" is, but based on other UK blogs, I think it means favorite take out food? I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but I do enjoy any Japanese place that delivers (oh, the joys of living in LA).

10) How good are you at keeping secrets?

If it's my own secret, then no haha. I always feel like I need to tell at least one person or else my mind wanders and I worry, blah blah blah. But if it's someone else's, then I'm golden. I'm such a good secret keeper if I were to be told one.

11) If you were to be a spokesperson for one make-up or fashion brand, who would it be and why?

Ah! Another difficult one! I'd probably go with WildFox again. I just love their clothes and the shoots they have look so fun!
