Tu blog me inspira - Your blog inspires me - Blog Award

Your blog inspires me award! I was nominated for this by the lovely Jane from KONAD KÓLATRA thank you Jane! If you haven't had a peek at her blog yet, check it out :]

The rules for this award are:
1. Post who gave you the award and link to it.
2. Tell 5 strange things about you (a little tag).
3. Give the award to 5 other blogs.
Of course, you have to post the image, which is the award itself.

Okay, so for my 5 things I know I’m going to struggle, as I've mentioned quite a few things in other blog awards, and, not much has changed since then :P

1) Okay, so I thought I'd start off with something I've never mentioned on this blog before - my weight loss. I'm doing okay, however I am lacking in motivation recently and I'm trying to get back into my good routine. I have lost just over 2 stone (32ish lbs) in the last year, and I'm starting to see it myself which is nice.
2) I once found a rabbit in my back garden... It stuck around for a while so we took it in with our other rabbit, they basically had the whole garden to play in.
3)I love to be near the sea, even if I don't venture to the beach haha. This is why one of my favourite places is in Ramsgate, Kent.
4) My favourite energy drink is Rockstar XDurance, which is  Blueberry, Pomegranate & Acai, I just call it Purple though, as it tastes like the colour purple, it's so freaking tasty!

That's honestly all I can think of!

I Tag:
Marias Nail Art and Polish Blog

Blogger Appreciation Award

Traci from Drinkcitra and Aimeeus from Persistently Glittery tagged me with this award, which is lovely. If you haven't checked out their blogs yet; do it now! They are awesome :] 


Edit: I was also tagged by Theodora from Red Hair And Black Nails, which are other blogs that I loveee.

The rules of the Award:

1.  Thank the person who gave you the award with their blog link on your post.

2.  Answer the following 4 questions.

3.  Award the Blogger Appreciation Award to as many readers/commenters/supporters/followers as you’d like.

4.  Let the blogger know you've just awarded them (by leaving a comment, a tweet, an email, etc.)

The questions:

1.  How long have you been blogging?

2.  What are 1-2 reasons why you started blogging.

3.  What types of blogs do you like to follow/read?

4.  What is 1 thing you would like to improve on as a blogger/on your blog?

My answers:

1. I've been blogging just over one year. I started my blog in February 2011, but my first mani wasn't posted until March :]
2. The main reason I started blogging was to share my creations with whoever would like to see them, I would take a photo of every mani I'd do and they would just sit on my computer, so I thought why the heck not ^_^
3. The blogs I like to follow are generally nail blogs, but there's some beauty and fashion ones thrown in there too.
4. I think one thing that I'm looking to improve first would definitely be the layout/organisation of my blog. I think it's in need of a spruce up but I don't even know where to start!

I would like to award the Blogger Appreciation Award to the following supporters:

Gnarly Gnails
Hooked!
Nail Polish Wars
Square Polish
Polish Amor

I chose these blogs simply because I love them, I enjoy reading them, drooling over pics, and being inspired :]
