I Have Been Nominated For A Liebster Award!

Hi everyone! I have been nominated for a Liebster award by the ever so lovely Grace from lovejunkiibeautique. I am so Excited! I am new to the blogging world and I had to read the post to understand what this means - but before I start, I would like to again thank Grace! Please check her out! 

Once I Checked out the post, I quickly discovered it is a way for bloggers to get to know one another, which is of course a fabulous idea! The only rules being:
-   You must link back to the blogger/s that nominated you
-   You must answer 11 questions given to you by the blogger that nominated you
-   You must nominate 5-11 bloggers and give them 11 questions of your choice – and they must have less than 200 followers
-   You cannot nominate the blogger who nominated you
-   You must let the bloggers you choose know that you nominated them and provide a link to your post so that they can see the rules & questions
Grace also stated 11 facts about herself, so I will too! Enjoy!

1. What is your biggest challenge when it comes to blogging? My Biggest Challenge when it comes to blogging is paying attention! I often blog on my lounge room floor with the TV on in the background and more often than not, I find myself watching TV instead of blogging – oops!
2. What else do you do besides blogging? I am a qualified Beauty Therapist & when I’m not blogging, I’m working at the salon pampering & beautifying my lovely clients, or I am at home pampering and beautifying my family. Unfortunately, this often means I miss out. I also have a promotional twitter account in which I promote beauty bloggers, but they don’t know it’s me mwahahaha..
3. Do you travel often? If so where have you gone? If not name places you would love to visit! I have traveled most of Queensland, I have been to New South Wales and Melbourne and am going to Sydney later this year! In terms of leaving the country, I have been to Vanuatu and New Caledonia on a cruise in 2011 and it was amazing! I love travelling and cannot wait to travel the world. Some of the places I want to go are: Europe, Egypt, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Thailand, Spain and to Kenya!
4. What is your favourite season and why? For a second I thought season as in TV shows.. I need to get outside more! I would have to say probably spring for the weather, but I hate it equally due to Hayfever.
5. What shows do you like to watch? Far too many to be considered healthy. I love Hart of Dixie, Man vs Wild, Man vs Food, The Big bang theory, The L word, Californication, Pretty Little Liars, Girls, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, The block (Australia). Oh dear I should stop before this starts to look too sad.
6. All time favourite movie? The book of Eli. Fabulous Movie. Seriously, watch it!
7. Do you speak any other languages? Any you would like to learn? No, but I am actually learning Spanish. I use Duolingo which is available in the app store, and am still wrapping my head around feminine and masculine words.
8. What do you find attractive in others? Honesty and kindness.
9. What is your pet peeve? Unnecessary noise. I have to leave the room.
10. What is a beauty product you can't live without? Eeek. Just one? Solely because I have been using it FOREVER, my Maybelline Baby Lips in cherry.
