We don did it!!! Liebster Award Yay!!!!

A couple of days ago Berry Dakara graciously nominated moi for this award!!!!  While I was still basking in the euphoria of being nominated, I got a second nomination for the same award from Stylefash25! So it was like a double whammy recognition. I’m super excited about being nominated for the Liebster!!!

The Liebster is basically like a cyber pat on the back for up and coming bloggers. The whole essence of the award is to recognize blogs with fewer than 200 followers that deserve a look.

So what does it mean for me you ask?

Oh no! I would not be getting a sealed envelope or a trophy…..I have this cute badge below to show for it.

Beyond getting something, sometimes just a pat on the back or a nod of the head from someone saying you are doing a fantastic job is enough. This blog has so far been a labour of love for me......to be recognized for what I enjoy......Awesome!!!

Thank you so much Berry Dakara and Stylefash25….. this means a lot to me.

So with every award there are certain rules, the  rules for the Liebster are fun, simple and varies from blog to blog ,but since Berry nominated me first, I shall comply with her rules!

5. Ask your nominees 11 questions

1.Why is your blog name what it is? My blog shares the same name as my business, when the idea to start my blog came up it was a natural progression for me.

2.Who's your favorite celebrity and why? To be honest I like a lot of them I do not have any particular favourites, I admire Oprah  a lot, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce,  too many 

3.What color shoes are you wearing right now? None , I'm at home and barefeet.

4.Would you wear an engagement ring on your middle finger or fourth finger?  My forth finger because my middle finger is too long and bony to look good with a ring on it.

5.What's your dream vacay destination? A  few days in Ibiza, a couple more in the Caribbean and then on to Newyork  and final destination Champs-Élysées for the shopping........hehehehe long throat!

6. #TeamNatural, #TeamRelaxed, or #TeamItsJustHairChillOut? 

Hmmm! Coincidentally I decided to go totally natural about 2 months ago. However the last time I retouched my hair was last September so my hair was already pretty much transitioning. I’m not sure how this would pan out but I had to do it because my hair line was badly damaged and I’m hoping going natural would restore it. So at the moment #TeamNatural
