I've been nominated for a Liebster Award by Oli. (Thank you, Oli!) I've heard of this award in the past but didn't think too much of it. I actually Googled it to get a better idea of what it's all about. I'm flattered to be chosen. It doesn't really fit in the aesthetic of my blog, but I think it would be fun for my followers to learn a little more about me. Enjoy!
1. What is your favorite season, why?
My favorite season is summer. (My favorite season is almost over. :() I love summer because the possibilities are endless. You can go to the beach, go camping, dip in the pool, have a picnic, outdoor dinner party...
2. What is inspiring you most, right now?
Photography/videography & blogging.
They all go hand in hand but I'm constantly inspired to improve those skills.

3. What project or purchase for your home is on top of your to-do list?
I don't have anything on the top of that list. I've been saving to travel next year so home improvements aren't on my radar. I think if I were to spend money right now, I'd buy some paint and paint my room and some furniture.
4. What setting/place brings you the most peace/calm?
:cheesy alert:
When I'm with my boyfriend.

5. Favorite flower?
I really love poppies. They are California's state flower, so they remind me of my favorite state. (I went to a poppy field earlier this year. See some photos here.)
6. Your lesson of 2014?
Don't be afraid to be yourself and speak up for yourself. I find myself not saying how I feel so I decided no matter how fearful I am, I need to speak up for myself. I feel better when I do.
7. Your song of 2014?
John Mayer's rendition of Beyoncé's "XO." It's a combination of two of my favorite artists.
8. Favorite book, why?
I REALLY enjoyed The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. >.< (I read it in a day!) I read it before they made it into a movie and now that everyone knows about it and makes fun of it, it makes me embarassed to say it's my favorite book. Haha. I don't read as much as I like. I just finished #GIRLBOSS and I really enjoyed it as well.

9. What do you envision your life being like in 10 years?
TRAVELING CONSTANTLY. I eventually want to make a living traveling and seeing the world.
10. If handed 10 million dollars, what would you change about your life?
I would be traveling constantly RIGHT NOW. I wouldn't be waiting for next year.
11. If teleportation were possible right now, where would you go first?
Paris, France. I was introduced to the French New Wave in college and it made me obsessed with Paris. I really need to see it for myself.

ReplyDeleteThe What's In Between

DeleteThank you for nominating me, Christina! That was so sweet of you :). Maybe this is a silly question, but what do you go by to know if a blog has less than 200 followers?

You're welcome, Tamara! I looked at Bloglovin' followers for the most part. I also looked at Google Friend Connect if a blog has that feature. Does that answer your question? :)
DeleteThat's what I was thinking. Just wasn't sure what I should go by. Thank you again! :)
Deletei love how most of your replies were about travel.. i second them all
ReplyDeleteTravel is really prominent on my mind. I need to get out there! Thanks for visiting, Hena.
DeleteCongrats on your award! I am def travel obsessed as well!
ReplyDeletelove from San Francisco,
Britt+Whit
Thanks! Travel's the BEST.
DeleteEurope backpacking trip! We're going to land in London and then make a huge clockwise circle around Europe. Major countries include: England, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, France, Spain + a whole lot more.
ReplyDeleteChina sounds fun! Good luck on the shopping urges! Haha Thanks for visiting. Love your blog.
The french new wave movies are the coolest ever. They look so cool and everybody is insanely cool. But at the same time the movies are sooooo boring.. I like slow movies, but those are just to much of nothing happening. I fell asleep by every godard movie I saw and I am not proud to admit that. But still, coolest ever.
ReplyDeleteParis is wonderfull, if you have time, try to visit Lyon, that has the new wave vibe a bit more.
And thanks for nominating me!
I watched a fair share of boring ones, so I understand what you mean. But I took a whole class on Godard! I love it! Anna Karina is the best. Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely look into it.
Delete& you're welcome! Can't wait to see your answers :)
Summer is my fave too! Love spending as much time as the beach as possible!
ReplyDeleteI haven't traveled much, but I would love too! Paris and Greece are on my bucket list!
Me too! Want to know something really sad? So far this summer, I've only gone to the beach once. :( I haven't traveled much either! I can't wait. I hope you go to Paris and Greece someday!
DeleteWhat a fabulous idea. Great way to get to know others in the blogging community!
