Beautiful Blogger Award



Rules: 
1. Thank the person that nominated you and link to their blog. 
Thank you so much Melissa! When I saw your post it made my day! Check out her blog Miss Meliss

2. Tell us how the idea of  making a blog popped up and what makes you continue it?
I answered the first part of this in my previous post (haha). I would have to say Amarixe inspired me. When I discovered her YouTube channel I found out she had a blog and checked it out. I thought it looked so nice and I wanted to start my own blog! I really enjoy writing about beauty and fashion. I look forward to seeing comments from others and interacting with other bloggers!

3.Describe a usual day in you life.
Summer: To be honest I can't really "sleep in". Wake up at 8-9am. Get ready, eat breakfast. Check email, blog, etc. Summer reading/school pre-work (almost done). Lunch. Various activities depending on day (volunteering/piano/flute/hang out with friends/pool/shopping, etc.) Dinner. Read. Sleep. Repeat.
School Year: Get up around 6am. Get ready, eat breakfast. Classes/Lunch/Classes. After school activities (not sure what I'm doing yet...). Homework. Dinner. Homework.  

4. The best collaboration with a blogger.
I enjoyed working with all the bloggers I had collaborations with! Sophie wrote a great guest post for this blog! Amazing blogger! She's the only blogger that has guest posted so far. If you are interested please send me an email. I wrote a guest post for A Brunette Duet which should be up sometime next week. Steph and Laura are so nice! :) 

5. The worst collaboration with a blogger.
None so far... Everyone I've worked with were awesome!

6. Describe what having a blog means to you
Where do I begin? This may seem a little cliche but this blog has really been a creative outlet for me. It's my way for me to express my ideas and opinions on things that I am passionate about. I love being able to interact with people around the world that have the same interests as me. I want to thank all my followers for supporting my blog! Every time I see a new comment or even follower, my heart leaps for joy! For all the new followers: Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my little blog! :)
This weekend I reached 100 followers! Ahhhhh!!! I remember when I reached 5 followers, I was ecstatic! Thank you so much! :D

Personal Interview (See if you were tagged!)

Thank you Jill at Notebook from the Heart for tagging me! This personal interview is a great way to learn more about each other and get to know different bloggers. What's different about this tag is you get to choose what questions to answer! Sounds like fun, right?


Here are the rules:
Mention who tagged you and give the link to their blog. 
Create ten (10) interview questions, of any subject matter, that you would love to answer.
Answer the questions in at least two sentences.
Tag at least five fellow bloggers to continue the activity in their own blog post!


My 10 Questions

  1. Who/What inspired you to create this blog? I would have to say Amarixe. When I discovered her YouTube channel I found out she had a blog and checked it out. I thought it looked so nice and I wanted to start my own blog!
  2. How did you come up with your blog name? It was inspired by Amarixe by combining my first and middle name but I did do it differently. 
  3. What advice do you have for beginning bloggers? Blogging is a great experience and it's so fun to find other blogs and have "conversations" with other bloggers. Even though you may start out with very few followers you will definitely gain a ton in the long run if you take the time to check out other blogs and leave nice comments and become a member. Also, blog hops are a great opportunity to find blogs with similar topics as yours. It's important that your blog looks aesthetically pleasing and that you have good content-that's how others get interested in your blog. Pictures is key! It's nice to have a "contact me" but if you put an email on your blog make sure it's not your personal email because you will get spammed a lot!
  4. What do you look for in a good blog? Mainly it's the content- well written posts, lots of pictures, interesting topics, and a variety of posts! Then, it's the set-up like does it look nice, is the header inviting, can I navigate the blog easily, etc.
  5. What are your goals for your blog before 2013 (inspired by a brunette duet)? I am hoping to reach 100 followers and do a giveaway! I want to establish a good connection between other bloggers. I love reading other blogs! If you have a blog, leave a link below so I can check it out.
  6. What is your favorite summer drink? This is a little difficult to write at least two sentencs, so I am going to lengthen this out (heh heh). Right now it's strawberry lemonade and pear lychee white tea! 
  7. Most exotic fruit you've eaten? Lychees! They are small and pink with a prickly shell. The inside is white, juicy, and sweet. You can find them at asian supermarkets/food stores.
  8. What is your favorite restaurant? I love Chipotle and Red Lobster! I always go back to them.
  9. Number one place you want to go to: I'd love to go to Hawaii! Their beaches are so inviting!
  10. What is the top makeup item on your wish list? There is a lot of makeup I'd like to try but I think the Naked palette by Urban Decay is at the top. It has all neutral eye shadows that are so beautiful and perfect for everyday wear.
