post #34: Liebster Award Post

Liebster Award Post!

So, as I mentioned in my last post, a few lovely ladies have let me know that they've nominated me for Liebster Awards! Let me explain. This is a peer award that new bloggers can give to other new bloggers with less than 200 followers. It allows people to find your blog and find out some fun new things about you. So, a huge thank you to Carolina Belle, Go Go Mountain Girl, and From Mississippi With Love for nominating me! It's so much fun to make new blog friends!

Here are my short and sweet answers to their questions:

Carolina Belle's Questions

1.  Who is your favorite designer and why?

• I guess JCrew does't count as a designer, but I've found their clothes to be very practical for work and play. As for actual designers, I love Milly (my dog's name), Trina Turk, and Kate Spade's colorful and fun outfits!

2.  What is your favorite weeknight meal?

• We make lots of chicken tacos. I also love spaghetti bakes, lettuce wraps (post here!), london broil, and shrimp and grits.

3.  What is your favorite "current" song?

• Blurred Lines - I can't help it!

4. What website do you visit (almost) daily?

• I love Yahoo because I can get both my actual news and pop/quirky news. And Facebook/Gmail, of course. 

5.  Chocolate vs Vanilla (or any other flavor)?

• Chocolate, always!

6.  What is your most recommended wine?

• For a cheap bubbly wine, I love Contadino (post here!) - only about $5 a bottle at Trader Joes! It really depends on the food for what kind of wine I choose.

7.  Lipstick, Lipgloss, or Lip stain?

• Gloss - stick & stain intimidate me!

8.  Favorite Pinterest idea - please link.

• Pumpkin Poppers - click here to see pin

9.  Most prized possession?

• My engagement and wedding rings. Dogs don't count, right?

10.  The thing you look forward to every week?

• Weekends!

11.  Favorite vacation location?

• Clemson & an all inclusive beach resort (honeymoon style!).

• Probably Lucy Hale - I'm obsessed with Pretty Little Liars!

2. What was the last thing you Googled?

• Free Redbox Codes. Yep, admitting it. You're crazy if you don't use these!

4. What is something you know now that you wish you knew "then?"
