Liebster Award Nomination




Hey everyone!


So I haven't been blogging for a while as you can probably all see but I've had two emails recently from people following Life As I Know It on bloglovin' (the link is over there, click it you know you want to! -->) and also a couple of comments one of which was from 2 Peas In A Pod Blog (Jade and Stephanie) saying they'd nominated me for the Liebster Award!! The Liebster Award is an award which lets people know about the smaller blogs that are out there with 200 followers/subscribers or less. So I'd like to say an absolutely massive THANK YOU to them for that.

The rules are simple:
1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. Answer the questions given by the nominator
3. Nominate another 11 bloggers (with 200 or less followers) and link them
4. Create 11 new questions for the nominees to answer
5. Notify all nominees by social media/blogs

Questions from 2 Peas In A Pod Blog:

Q: What inspired you to start a blog?
A: I honestly have absolutely no idea! I think I was originally procrastinating from doing GCSE work and it was cold outside because it had been snowing. I always thought it'd be an interesting thing to do but never thought anything would come of it - I'm just not interesting enough I think!

Q: How did you feel about being nominated by us?
A: Absolutely gobsmacked. I didn't think people really saw my blog and I haven't been on for a while either. Although it turns out people have been looking at my blog because my page views count is now over 900!!

Q: What's your favourite animal?
A: It's got to be a giraffe. It was acceptable to have them as pets, I definitely would have one. Also the way they run is so fabulous

Q: What's your natural hair colour?
A: Dark brown, same as my picture - I've never actually died my hair!

Q: Skinny jeans or skirts?
A: Ooh that's tricky - I wear skirts and jumpers a lot but there's just something about wearing a pair of skinnies that just make you feel good

Q: Dream job?
A: I'd love to work for a motorsport, I think it would be so interesting and you'd get to travel around the world with the team. I also love motorbikes so that job sounds pretty perfect to me! (She says doing Chemistry at university)

Q: Favourite celebrity?
A: I have no idea! There's loads of people I like but I don't know if I would count them as celebrities or not. Hmm.. I'll have to get back to you on that one!

Q: How do you spend your Sunday evenings?
A: When I'm at uni, chilling in college with all my friends, possibly at the bar for a social drink or occasionally catching up on telly. At home, I slob on the sofa with my parents after Sunday dinner and we watch TV or a film. I love both options

Q: Eye colour?
A: Blue. With a bit of grey and a tiny bit of green

Q: Where have you travelled in the World?
A: Quite a lot of places in Europe but definitely not enough of the world. I would love to go to America, travel around Asia, visit Australia and New Zealand. And I would go back to Africa in a heartbeat

Q: Will you be following us as a thank-you?
A: Hell yeah! I need some more blogs on my feed to keep me inspired to keep on blogging. Plus your blog looks fab :)
