I had to do a bit of reading and research to find out what exactly the Leibster Award was. I recognized the word "leibster" from my knowledge of German (what I remember) leibe is love. “Liebster” has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart. Awww, so sweet! <3 I have read that this award was created to recognize and/or discover new bloggers.
First, I would like to thank Lizzy's Place and Polish Polish Asphyxia for the nominations!
Now, onto answering the set of questions I was given. I have seen in some sets of rules you can offer 11 random facts about yourself as well. Let's see what the question answer before I decide if I will bore you all!!
1. Where would you like to go on vacation?
- I would lobe to go to Hawaii, Egypt or Australia. Oh, I wouldn't mind a trip to Paris either!
2. What is your favorite winter Olympic sport?
- I have never really gotten into watching the Olympics, but if I had to pick one sort I HAD to watch it would be Figure Skating.
3. Do you watch cartoons?
- On occasion I will watch SpongeBob SquarePants. I love to lose myself in it's brainless humor. How can you not love Bikini Bottom and all it's inhabitants?!
4. What would your zombie apocalypse survival skill be?
- I think I would have to buy the survival kit offered by "The Walking Dead", they are professionals on that show and that kit should be an important item to have. Oh and I'd have to find my friend Lizzy, she seems to be Zombie crazed so I would hope I was safe with her!
5. With no restrictions (ie: job) what color would you dye your hair?
- Hot pink! No, wait, a medium pink with hot pink streaks!
6. If safety weren't an issue would you still prefer shoes or go barefoot?
- Barefoot!!! I'm probably most comfortable with nothing on my feet. Besides, if I wear shoes, you can't see how pretty I've polished my toes!
7. Ever hugged a tree?
- I believe I have! It didn't hug back though.
8. For how much money would you shave your head?
- $5 million, that way, I can more than afford a new wig for everyday of the year. PLUS I can do anything else I wanted!
9. Could you sew an outfit for yourself if you had/wanted to?
- YES! I love to sew. I used to make a good deal of my clothes in high school, especially if it were for a special occasion, like a dance. I'm in the middle, I made the top and skirt! I made this
10. Do you get seasick or motion sickness?
- For the most part, no I don't. But if I ride in a car, I need to have windows all around me so I can see.
11. Do you take naps if you have time or find something to do?
- NAPS RULE!!! I have a few disabilities that leave me extremely tired so I find naps a must at times.
OK, onto the second set of questions I was given:
1. What is your favorite nail art technique?
- I don't have one specific favorite nail art technique. I have yet to master a few I would love to be able to do, but, alas, I fail miserably.

2. What is your current nail polish inventory?

3. What prompted you to start blogging?
- Why did I start blogging? Well, let's see, there are things I want to say and it is a great way to get it out there and off my chest. Plus, there are a few really cool sites, like Influenster where you can receive free stuff if you review them.

4. How many pets do you have ?
- I have 5 Savannah cats. I initially only got one, but she came with extras! I didn't know she was pregnant and I couldn't bear to terminate that by getting her spayed. So I have most of Sheba's litter.

6. What are your favorite Indie brand polishes & why?
- Other than my own? I would have to say Gothic Gala. When I first discovered the Indie brands, I looked for a few different groups to join so I could find more polishes. I met my bestie before she had opened her shop. She was very nervous about it as well as her 40th birthday. I offered encouragement and was her first polish order. The rest is history!

9. How long have you been blogging & doing nail arts, etc?
- I have been doing nail art since I was in high school. I started out with dots and stripes and who knows what else, I can't remember. I was unable to do anything other polish my nails for over 10 years while I was in the Air Force. But after I got out, I would do whatever as often as I could.

10. What is the weather where you are today & what is your favorite season?
- I love the Spring and the Fall. Today it is raining. Just 2 days ago there was 10 inches of snow on the ground. North Carolina is a strange place!
11. Just because I liked this question... If you could donate to any charity, what would it be and why?

Congratulations on your nominations!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! *high fives* I think sewing would be a good survival skill. You could sew together stylish protective gear for the gathering parties! That would be awesome. ^_^ That is so sweet that you opted to let her keep her kittens. I wouldn't have had the heart to terminate either.... and probably would have kept as many as I could get away with. lol
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for nominating me! <3 and congrats to you! I'll have to think now.
ReplyDeleteSorry it's taken me so long to acknowledge this Leigh Anne. I wanted to say Thank You (again) and let you know I have finally finished answering your questions and have made my nominations. :)
