The Liebster Blog Award is one I've had before but the 'tasks' with this train of the award are slightly different. I'm a little bit strange (over-sharer might be the correct word) in that I like answering little questions and divulging facts about myself. This time I have to write 11 facts about myself, answer 11 questions from the award-giver, ask 11 question to the people I am about to share this with and then award 11 people.
I received this award from Hayley of Water Painted Dreams who blogs about beauty and life!
11 Facts About Me
- I am an only child and even as an adult I still wish I had a sibling, even though I should be grateful for loads of experiences which might not have been possible otherwise.
- My favourite Olympic sport is gymnastics and I was super grinning to see my favourite team and favourite sport coming together these past two weeks.
- I don't have much of an accent. It's not rare for people to not even be able to tell what country I'm from. I'm a born and bred Scot, people!
- The part of my personality that I get told is most surprising because of my appearance is that I smoke. Albeit just when I'm drinking but apparently I strike people as the sport of person that would hate smoking.
- When it comes to dating my deal-breakers are: not being adventurous, eating junk food all the time and being unhygienic/not taking care of their appearance.
- I have visited four continents in less than 22 years. And I don't see visiting all seven before I'm 30 as unrealistic. Yes, I want to see Antarctica.
- I'm not a big TV fanatic but shows I do love are Vampire Diaries, The IT Crowd and Gossip Girl.
- I know there's certain foods that are hard to eat quietly (such as crunchy salad) but it really irks me when people chew loudly, or don't even attempt to chew quietly. I know someone who can't even eat a sandwich without me knowing what exactly is happening in their mouth. Boke.
- I abstain from caffeine because I'm addicted to it. One coffee will always turn into more.
- I get hay-fever and travel sickness. When I go on holiday I always carry tablets.
- My favourite band ever are the Goo Goo Dolls, and I seen them live in 2006
11 Questions From Hayley
- What are your favourite types of blog posts to read? I really high street fashion posts or posts that contain realistic life advice, such as Sarah Von or Alle.
- Recommend me a good book? The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath if you've never read it. Or for something less well known anything by Torey Hayden.

- What was the last nail polish you used? A Barry M Purple shade which is on my nails right now.
