Liebster Award

I was nominated by Amber from Natural Beauty for the Liebster Award. I am very thankful for receiving this award considering I just started my blog but grateful to be among many of the bloggers I love and follow than have been nominated.

This award is for up and comers with less than 200 followers. Here are the rules

1. Acknowledge the blogger who nominated you and display the award.
2. Answer eleven questions that the blogger gives you.
3. Give eleven random facts about yourself.
4. Nominate eleven blogs that you think deserve the award (they must have less than 200 followers.)
5. Let the bloggers know you nominated them.
6. Give them eleven questions to answer.

Here are the answers to Amber's questions.

1. Why did you start blogging? I have been experimenting with natural beauty products over the last few years and have looked to bloggers and you tubers for advice. Now that I have found some great products I would like to pass my knowledge on to others so that they may also be able to swap out their current beauty products for less toxic ones.
2.  What is your favorite blog post you have created? I have only created a few but I would say my first one about Physician's Formula products.
3. What is your favorite blog post created by someone else? I'm not sure that I have a favorite post but I do enjoy looking at well photographed makeup on blogs. This is something I hope to improve on my own blog.
4. What is your dream vacation? This one is easy. For the longest time I have wanted to go to Paris, France.
5. How would you spend your perfect day? I would probably treat myself to a day of pampering. I would start with breakfast at my favorite restaurant than go to the spa for a facial, massage, body treatment, manicure and pedicure. Then with the rest of the time in the day I would relax outdoors if the weather was warm and have a delicious meal and a glass of wine. 
6. Who is your favorite blogger or you tuber? My favorite bloggers are listed on the right side of my blog and from you tube I love vlogwithkendra and Shannon Sullivan
7. Coffee or tea? Tea.
8. What is the one thing you cannot leave the house without? My phone.
9. What in life makes you the most happy? Sharing my passion for nutrition and healthy living with others.
10. What advice would you give your younger self? That I would finally find my true passion later in life.
11. If you could relive any day, what would if be? Either the day I spent on Virgin Gorda of the British Virgin Islands or when I went snorkeling in a bay on Maui.
