Liebster Award


Hey guys :)

I was nominated by The Life Of L for the Liebster Award. If you're not sure what this is it is an award given to bloggers by other bloggers in recognition of the hard work they do on their blog. The word 'liebster' comes from German and means sweetest, nicest, lovely, pleasant etc.

I think it's a pretty cool idea and I am definitely grateful to have been nominated :)

So the first thing I have to do is post 10 random facts about myself... Here goes:

  1. I started my blog as a place to moan but now use it to spread positive messages! 
  2. I can't yet drive but I do have a motorbike license. 
  3. I have a rabbit called Luthor and a hamster called Orion. 
  4. I have a younger brother called Oliver who is 4 next month :) 
  5. I am a complete nerd and play both computer games and table-top wargaming games. 
  6. I would really love to live in Japan and am teaching myself Japanese currently. 
  7. I work as a Carer and absolutely love my job. 
  8. I have a crazy obsession with owls. 
  9. I moved out of home when I was 16. 
  10. I absolutely love reading and hope to write my own novel one day. 
Next thing I have to do is answer the questions that The Life Of L has asked: 

  1. If you had won the lottery, what would be the first thing you do? 
    Well, I would probably by myself a house. However, I think I would also give my parents both a portion of the money too. 
  2. Where do you hope to be in 10 years time?
    In my own home and married, working in the same job I do now (hopefully) and happy and healthy! 
  3. Snow or Sun?
    I do like the sun but I can't stand the heat so I would probably have to say snow :) 
  4. What food could you eat every day and never get bored of? 
    Definitely pizza! I just can't get enough! 
  5. What 3 items can you not life without?
    I don't really know because I'd like to think I'd be alright without all my technical objects but probably my phone, a good book and my rabbit. 
  6. One thing that you love about your country?
    I'm from England and I'd probably say the countryside :) 
  7. Favourite colour and why?
    I have two, is that allowed?! I like purple and green because they both just make me smile and I like bright colours. 
  8. Favourite TV show at the moment and why?
    Game Of Thrones! Do I need to say any more?! 
  9. Favourite subject at school and why? 
    I used to absolutely love History at school. I just loved learning about the past and how people lived and thought back then. 
  10. What is one of your most embarrassing moments?
    This is a hard one. I don't really embarrass myself too often however, I went to Starbucks a couple of months ago with a friend and before I had even had chance to take a sip of my drink, I spilled it over my lap and had to walk around town with a damp crotch all day! 
  11. Favourite thing to blog? 
    Positive messages and self-help ideas. 

My nominations are:

Hippies In The City

And if you read this and have your own blog then please feel free to do this too! If you do, then post me a link in the comments so I can check it out :)

Okay so here are my questions for my nominees:

  2. Where do you see your blog in 2 years time? 
  3. What is your favourite beauty product at the moment? 
  4. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go? 
  5. If you were to start your blog again, would you do anything different?
  6. What is your favourite movie and why?
  7. What is your favourite thing about Spring?
  8. If you could give your younger self some advice, what would it be?
  9. What is the one thing that you always wanted as a child, but never got?
  10. If you could have any profession in the world, what would it be?
  11. If you could learn any language, what would you learn?

Let's Catch Up!


Hello lovely people!

I can't believe that it has been an entire week since I last posted! Even I'm in shock! I'm sorry that I haven't been very present on here recently, I have an awful lot of things going on all at once. So I decided what better way to sort through everything in my head than to stick it on here for all of you to read about.

So, although I work part time at the moment as a Carer, I am looking for something full time as, quite frankly, I need more money to live on. I have had a load of different ideas in my head about what I might like to do and I truly believe that any one of them would make me happy and so I have applied to about a million jobs and am now patiently waiting for replies. I have a couple of interviews lined up and I am quite excited for them but nervous also. Alongside this I have, of course, been carrying on with my current job and that takes up even more of my previous blogging time.

I have also been going crazy trying to find a good intensive driving course for myself. I now have the money in order to complete a driving course, buy a car and insure it, and all that is left to do is find a good company. If any of you know of any then please let me know below! I ideally need to sort this out before I start one of my prospective jobs as after this, I won't necessarily be able to get the time off work in order to complete the course which would be a huge let down!

On top of all this there is the usual. Cleaning, tidying, taking care of the animals and finding the occasional moment to throw in some yoga or reading my book! I am so grateful for everything going on in my life right now and I do love how I always have something to get on with but I do sometimes wish that I could find time to fit in yoga every day :)

Anyways, I hope this didn't bore you haha, I just wanted you all to know that I haven't forgotten about you and I will be back very soon with hopefully at least 3 posts a week for you to look forward to.

Thank you for reading and I'll speak to you all soon. Hope you are all doing great and having a lovely day,
Charlotte xx
