It's meant to help give props to bloggers while also helping them gain new followers and have readers discover new blogs!
Cool, right?
The way it works is, I answer a list of questions provided to me by my nominee (Thanks again, Lauren!), and then I nominate my own group of bloggers to keep it going!
Here we go!
//What is the one thing that can cheer you up no matter what?
I know it sounds cliché, but my sweetheart Jake can pretty much always cheer me up.
He has such wonderful insight and seems to always know what to say (Or when to pick up Ice Cream).
//What makes you the most crabby, no sleep, no food or it being too hot/cold?
Hmmmmm, I think being around too much negativity puts me in the worst mood.
Negative energy is so contagious, and I can tend to get in a bad mood about other people being in a bad mood and it's a dangerous cycle. That, and not having had my coffee yet.
//If you had to pick one thing on your bucket list to do, what would it be?
Drink Champagne in Champagne, France.
//Whats your guilty pleasure?
Vegging out.
I feel guilty when I'm not getting something done or being productive enough, but I love just laying on the couch for hours at a time and binging on TV shows.
//Is there any fad that you just don’t understand?? (ie. whole30, kale, chevron prints, etc)
Cross Fit.
It sounds like paying to be tortured.
(And that is why I will never look like Jessica
//What is your favorite thing about blogging?
I love that I have a platform for my voice that I'm in complete control of. Working in theatre, you rely on a lot of other people to make your work happen, but with blogging, you only need yourself. I love being able to write pieces or make something or film a video and have an immediate outlet for it.
It's very exciting.
I also think there's so much opportunity online that every day can lead to a new opportunity, a new friend, anything is possible!
//If you could meet any celebrity, who would it be?
Amy Poehler.
I think she's an incredible woman, comedian, business woman, and role model. She seems like she'd be both insightful and a total blast to hang out with. It'd be a dream to grab dinner with her.
//What is something you dislike about blogging?
While I love blogging most of the time, it can be both very lonely and discouraging. Sometimes you spend hours working all alone on a post/video/article and you put it out there, only to receive limited views or feedback of any kind. It can make you question why you keep doing it and spending so much time and energy on something that doesn't always have positive (or even noticeable) rewards. But that's when you go back to basics and remind yourself that you need to do it for yourself and remember all the things that make you happy about blogging. (And then pour yourself a cocktail.)
//Whats your favorite season?
Probably Spring.
The weather is beautiful, I always seem to find myself traveling or going on some new adventure, and there seems to be a stronger sense of inspiration and energy in the air.
//What do you do to recharge your batteries?
I do something just for me. Get a massage, go shopping solo, treat myself to some bubbles. I also find that travel really helps me recharge and reboot - I'm always inspired and renewed when I get back from a trip.
For my nominees I chose:
Ellie from This is Definitely A Good Idea
Sara from Bumblings of Miss Button
Caroline from Sparkles and Crumbs
Xandra from Fashionably Light
Stephanie from Happiness in Hollywood
Here are my questions for you ladies:
//What inspired you to begin blogging?
//What's your favorite thing about blogging?
//What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
//What famous person has your dream wardrobe?
//What 3 songs can you not stop listening to right now?
//Who are your favorite characters currently on TV?
//What food could you eat every day?
//If you could take a trip to anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
//If you could magically be incredibly good at any skill overnight, what would it be?
//What's your favorite quote?
Thanks so much for nominating me and following this fun experience!
i loved your responses! i also love that blogging is an amazing outlet for our creativity.
