I cannot believe that I was nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by not one but two fellow bloggers! Thank you girls - Kallie from Butfirstcoffeeblog and Jessica from Weareoceans, you guys are the best.


What is the Liebster Award:

So the Liebster Award is an award that is given by bloggers to new bloggers with less than 200 followers in order to get them noticed and help spread the word.

The Rules:
  • Each nominee must answer the 11 questions that were asked by the blogger that nominated them, I will answer more as I have 2 nominations!
  • You must choose 11 bloggers with under 200 followers to pass the award onto.
  • Then make 11 questions for them to answer.
  • Go to their page and tell them about their nomination.
  • No tag backs.
Kallie's questions are: 

How would you describe your style?
- My style is mostly casual chic (or rather casual trying to be chic)
 

What beauty product have you been using the longest?
- Lip glosses, I think I started using a lip gloss when I was in my teens, although I do remember pretending my chapstick was a lip gloss for a while before I got an actual one :)

Best concent/live event you've been to?

- I haven't been to many concerts (outside of India), I always thought they were super expensive. But I am working on changing that now. The 2 that have stuck in my memory have been a concert that we sort of stumbled upon on the promenade in Split (Croatia) when I was on holiday and the other was an amazing Jazz showcase at the incredible Preservation Hall in New Orleans early last year.
