Liebster Award :D

I am so excited because I got this today: "Hi Gorgeous. I wasnt sure how to get in touch with you, but I just wanted to tell you that you have been awarded with the Liebster Award by me," from Dina at A Secretary's Nail Art.



The award is designed to give the small blogs around there some attention, and to quality you need to have less than 200 Followers.


The rules are as following:
1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.
2. They must also answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them.
3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.
4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.
5. These lucky bloggers must then be told.
6. There's no tag backs.
11. Things about me:
1.  I love to go dancing even though I am a terrible dancer!
2.  I have a fluffy baby named Charlie who is a ten-pound Maltese dog and sleeps in the bed even though it's crowded.
3.  I cannot cook.  My husband cooks almost all our meals.  I am so ashamed and lucky.
4.  I could survive solely on Mexican food and grilled cheese sandwiches.
5.  I play clarinet.
6.  I love to go to the shore in the summer and one day hope to spend the entire summer at the shore.
7.  I love NBC comedies like 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation.
8.  In my most favorite dream ever, my friends and I were sledding down a hill on a giant, polar-bear shaped ice cream cake.
9.  I am really bad at telling jokes because I always forget the punchline.
10.  After dogs, sharks are my favorite animal and I am obsessed with Shark Week.  I want to do a shark manicure and have a shark-themed party with shark cupcakes and beverages and watch Shark Week for seven days straight.  Not kidding.
11.  I spent four months studying abroad in Bath, England.

  4. Favorite Youtuber.  Jenna Marbles because she is hilarious and also CutePolish because she makes achievable designs that are prettyAlso I like videos of animals hugging lol
  5. If you stamp, whats your favorite stamping polish?  Konad special polish, it is the only one I have tried so far that shows up on everything and it's easy to clean-up.
  6. What should you be doing now, instead of blogging?  Packing, showering, and sleeping....this is so much better, don't you think?

  9. Your favorite manicure you have ever made (link). What is it about it, that you love so much?  I am very proud of this Batman mani.  I have sentimentally loved Batman for most of my life.  I spent over three hours on this mani, which is the longest I have ever spent on a mania and I was really proud of myself for the way the free-hand came out.  *pats self on back*
  10. 5 things you have within arms length from where you sit.  my cuddle muffin, Charlie; a drum major handbook for marching band (nerd alert); cell phone; afghan my grandma made; a box of tissues that I bought so I could try to recreate the design on the box in a manicure, lol
