The Toujou Blogger Award!:)

Woop woop!  Award #2!

A huge thank you to the wonderful Mars over at inkdropperr for nominating me for this award!

It was created by Emily from Emily's Chronicles.  Toujou is a Haitian Creole word for always, so a toujou blogger is someone's blog that you always read!  There are a few rules one must follow;)

1. If tagged you must tag 5 others, giving each a quick sentence as to why you ALWAYS read their posts, and tell them that you've tagged them:)

2. If tagged you must post your 5 favourite words.

3. If and only if you want to/can be bothered to/have time to, you can put up to 5 questions for the people you've tagged.  If and only if you want to/can be bothered to/have time to you can ANSWER the 5 questions your tagger set.  If you want to answer questions but your tagger left none, answer your own questions:)

My 5 favourite words are:
1. pretty
2. seriously?!
3. aw (I know, weird one)
4. pink
5. cosy

Peeps I tag:

Emily @ Emily's Chronicles: I'M SORRY, OKAY?!  I really really wanted to tag you for the Belle Blog Award, and I could only pick 3:( So now's the time!  I love this blog because of it's beautiful floral background, and the way she writes is so amazingly magical that I have to pinch myself to see if I'm in a dream or not!

Leah @ Un Arc-en Vintage: I love the simplicity of this blog and it's always one that I go to read, kind of like the morning newspaper;)  Her style is so amazingly vintage-y, and I adore the use of the word 'tata'!:)

Mars @ inkdropperr: I know you tagged me, but it's kind of hard NOT to tag you back!  I love the way her posts are written, kind of like a journal, and it's so entertaining and funny!  Oh, and she introduced me to Oreo stuffed cookies...

Britishmystery @ Journal of a Teen: the title speaks for itself.  I can relate to so much, especially about the Summer Holidays (waking up at midday, haha!).  She is such a loyal follower of mine, comments on just about every post! *internet hug*

Amy @ Life of an Awkward Donkey: Ah, this is the place to get your daily laughs!  She is so witty and funny, and her blog is like a journal, too!  I especially like the post titled 'WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???!!!';)

Now onto Mars' questions!

Favourite Flower? - Roses:) so typical, I know, but they're pretty!
Favourite Film? - THE HUNGER GAMES.
If there was one thing you could do... anything... absolutely anything? (like go to Hogwarts ;D)? - Go through school passing everything with A's galore and not having to do a single thing.  Oh, and not having to do P.E.;)
Team Jacob or Team Edward? - I hate you. (just kidding!) Lookswise, Jacob. I used to be team Edward, but now I think I'm team Jacob!:O
How often do you paint your nails? Everyday.  Na, I'm just kidding.  Very rarely.  I'm really weird when I paint my nails, I would paint a few coats, y'know, base coat, 2 coats of colour and a top coat.  If they don't dry within 10 minutes, I just take it off.  I'M SO IMPATIENT!

Okay, questions for you people:

Favourite school subject?
City or countryside?
Save money or spend?
Pens or pencils?
Early bird or night owl?

See, I made the questions short and sweet - you're welcome!  Thanks again Mars!<3

Belle Blog Award!



I was lucky enough to be nominated for the Belle Blog Award by Leah over at Un Arc-en Vintage, so I would just like to say thank you!

The Belle Blog Award was created by Neevie from Totally Neevie.  Belle means pretty in French, so it basically means that your blog is pretty/that person loves your blog!

Anyways, I have to:
  1. Write 3 facts about myself
  2. Answer the 3 questions the tagger asked
  3. Tag 3 other blogs
  4. Ask 3 questions to the blogs I tagged
  5. Oh, and you can't tag the person that tagged you.
Let's get started!
  1. I play the viola & drums and I sing:)
  2. I am part of a youth theatre group
  3. I love anything that's pink/floral etc.
Questions:
  1. 'Why did you start blogging?'  I've always wanted to be an author or a journalist, so I wanted to be able to do something a little bit similar.  I also love the community here!
  2. 'What is your favourite blog of the mo?'  Hmm... probably Anna Saccone, since I watch her videos too!
  3. 'If you could change anything about your blog, what would you change?'  This sounds really nerdy, but probably the layout of my buttons!  I really like the layout of Scathingly Brilliant!
The 3 blogs I tag are...
  • Jasmine @ Ebony Black Lines.  I love Jasmines blog, she does fantastic book reviews, and she is such a talented writer.  She is the loveliest person!
  • Amy @ Life of an Awkward Donkey.  Amy's blog is fantastic.  I love her comedic writing style, and 'The Adventures of Cecily Unibrow' is just pure genius!
  • Mars @ inkdropperr.  Mars' blog is so versatile!  She does book reviews, baking, and gives great opinions on things.
The questions for you are:
  1. If you had to pick just one topic to write about, what would it be? (e.g. book reviews, fashion etc)
  2. What/who inspired you to start blogging?
  3. If you weren't blogging, what would you be doing?

Can I just say, it was SO hard to pick just 3 blogs?!  I tried to pick blogs that weren't tagged before, but I love so many blogs!
