So grateful - ANOTHER Liebster Award!!

Okay I feel sooo bad bc this is incredibly late, but I have another Liebster Award to formally accept. Now, the Liebster Award is supposed to be for blogs with less than 200 followers, but I'm doing this anyways because I feel like I am still so new to the blogging game, AND I want to help spread the word of other smaller blogs :)

So, Kristen of The Woman in the Dress was so sweet and nominated me for The Liebster Award! Basically, the Liebster Award is a "favorite blog award", as Liebster is the German word for favorite, beloved, or dearest. So so so nice of you, thanks so much lady!! It is meant for smaller blogs with less than 200 followers to help expose them to the world and help them discover other bloggers through those you nominate, too! I really really like this award - the posts always have so much interaction and I end up discovering a lot of blogs from other posts' nominations!

Four for my fourth nonimation!

In order to formally accept this award, the nominee must do several things:

1. Each nominee must link back the person who nominated them.


2. Answer the 10 questions which are given to you by the nominator.


3. Nominate 10 other bloggers for this award who have less than 200 followers.


4. Create 10 questions for your nominees to answer.


5. Let the nominees know that they have been nominated by going to their blog and notifying them.

Alrighty, so Part 1 is done. Thanks again, Kristin, YOU DA BEST :)

On to Part 2 - answering the questions that my nominator (that is actually a word - score!) asked me. Here it goes:

1. What is one thing you couldn’t live without? Ugh, this sounds so millennial of me, but my cell phone. It's literally glued to my hand all day - it sits next to me at work and I never leave the house without it. (Sidenote: sometimes I even bring it to the bathroom. Woahhh too much information there, sorry about that folks!)


2. What is your favorite item in your closet? This little red dress that I have that I wear out - it fits great and is really tight but makes me look super good. I always have so much confidence when I wear it!


3. What would be your dream vacation? Going to a beach anywhere - I do really like Maui though :)


4. What is one of your biggest fears? I legitimately have gerascophobia - fear of aging. Also one of my biggest fears is being boring. (Not kidding about that)


5. Which kind of shopping do you prefer: online or in store? Totally depends on what I'm buying. And how I'm feeling. If I am being lazy I won't want to do it in-store but usually I like to buy clothes in-store and then I can buy other things online. But I also like to look at those other things in-store before I buy them. Ahh I guess you could just say in-store for that then!


6. Favorite food? Bagels. Good thing I'm in NYC!


7. What is one thing a lot of people don’t know about you? Hmmmm probably that I have this big fear that everyone thinks I'm annoying and doesn't like me. I think everyone may have this but I don't really ever show that I'm insecure. I think people would be surprised to find that out.


8. If you could trade places with any celebrity for a day, who would it be? Jennifer Lawrence. She is so awesome. Girl crush!


9. Foundation first or coverup? I never really use coverup, so foundation ALL THE WAY!


10. What are your hopes for your blog? Idk yet! I feel like it's not old enough for me to know! Stay tuned for that one...

Okay on to Part 3! Nominating new bloggers for the award! YAYAYAYAY ahh okay including this post will make 40 blogs that I have nominated, so I really apologize if there are duplicates!!

Thanks again Kristen! Keep spreading the blog love everyone - you never know what blogs you'll find through these new nominees!

<3, Charlotte

You flatter me! (Another Liebster Award!)

This is too cool. So Annie of This Northern Belle nominated me for The Liebster Award! I got one a little while back, but I am OBVI going to accept again and go through the entire process - it's awesome to help other smaller bloggers find each other.

To steal entirely from my last post - the Liebster Award is a Favorite Blog Award – Liebster is German for “favorite”. It is awarded to a blog that has less than 200 followers. It’s a great way to interact with other smaller blogs and to get everyone more connected! HOW COOL!

In order to accept this award, I must do several things (this is slightly different than the last time I accepted - I feel like there is a telephone game effect going on here!):

1. List 11 facts about myself


2. Nominate 11 bloggers for the award (YAY!)


3. Let them know about the nomination


4. Answer the 11 questions I was asked when nominated


5. Ask 11 questions for the new award winners to answer

Okay, let's begin, shall we?

Part 1 requires I list 11 facts about myself:

1. My greatest fear is being boring (sounds pathetic but it's true).


2. I have a "life bucket list" that is posted as one of those sticky notes on my laptop desktop screen.


3. One day I want to move to either London or Australia - two of the coolest cultures that speak English (since I know no other languages).


4. I have a very hard time telling right from left, which has sometimes made driving and getting to places very challenging.


5. I generally don't get along very well with girls - a lot of my best friends are guys - girls are dramatic and that's annoying to me.


6. Moving to NYC was the best decision I've ever made, and the hardest transition process! But I love it :)


7. Moving IN NYC is one of the most challenging things a person can do, I'm finding that out first hand right now in the apartment search process


8. I am OBSESSED with pop culture. The fact that I know what is happening with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' marriage more than I know what is happening in Congress right now is frankly kind of alarming.


9. Christmas is my favorite holiday. HANDS DOWN. Even though it's absolutely freezing, November-January 1 is my favorite time of year.


10. Even though I LOVEE living in a city as crazy and fast-paced as NYC, I really need a couple days away in some secluded place. I need a vacation!


11. I'm supposed to be doing work at my job right now but CLEARLY this takes priority! YOLO.

Okay, moving on to part 2. Nominate 11 bloggers to get the award! Oh this is the exciting part - having under 200 followers is key so that smaller bloggers can discover each other :) And my nominees are (in no particular order)...

You guys are all so amazing and I am so happy to nominate you for this award! Which leads me to part 3 where I will make you all aware that I have nominated you :) (will do that after this has been posted!)

On to part 4 - answering the 11 questions that I was asked when I was nominated.

1. What is your favorite thing to cook/bake? This does not apply to me because I can neither cook nor bake. Pretty much anything that can be put in the microwave is a winner in my book!


2. If you could invite three people to dinner (living, dead, real or fictional), who would it be? Rosa Parks (fascinated by her courage and ability to ignite the Civil Rights Movement), Jennifer Lawrence (she is AMAZING!), and Amanda Bynes (definitely would be interesting to see her in that setting).


3. What is your dream vacation? Anywhere where there is a beach!


4. What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Watch movies/casually day drink with friends.


5. What was your dream job when you were a kid? Be a famous singer - I think it's safe to say we've all had that fantasy growing up.


6. Apple or oranges? Apples, unless I'm sick, where I think that by eating a ton of oranges I'll magically become healthy again.


7. What is your favorite beverage? Anything with alcohol...hey, I just graduated college! Cut me some slack please :)


8. What is something that made you laugh recently? The last question. Also my friend (Chloe!) that I'm talking to on gchat right now has said some pretty hilarious things.


9. Favorite holiday? Christmas - woahh weird coincidence I said this in my facts about me!


10. What book do you most recommend? Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy. That is just bc I'm an advertising nerd and I absolutely LOVEDDD it!


11. Beach, city, new culture? Which do you prefer for a weekend getaway? Beach, PLEASEEE!! (Let's go right now!)

Finally, part 5 is where I make up questions that my nominees have to answer when formally accepting their award!

1. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?


2. Salty or sweet? (Food, just to be clear)


3. Mac or PC?


4. What is your spirit animal? Why?


5. What is the TV or movie character that reminds you most of yourself?


6. What is your favorite part about blogging?


7. What is your weirdest talent? (We all have one - don't be shy!)


8. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?


9. What is the most kind-hearted thing you have done for anyone, with expecting nothing in return?


10. Favorite TV channel?


11. When you look at your life right now, are you genuinely happy with where you are? If not, what can you do to change that? (Now go out and do it!)

Again, thanks so much, Annie! And congrats everyone, let's keep the award-giving going!
