This is my first blog award nomination so thank you, A! Her blog, Simply Lovely, is a light-hearted blog about beauty & lifestyle. One of her recent posts that was a favorite of mine was affordable winter cocktails because I never know what to order when I travel & no idea how to navigate the sphere of liquor!

The Rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and post a link to his/her blog.
2. List the rules of the award and post a picture of the award.
3. Answer the questions from your nominator.
4. Nominate 10 other bloggers and be sure to let them know.
5. Write a list of questions of your nominees to answer.

My Answers:

1 What book is next on your to-read list? I’ve just started The Muse, but looking forward to reading The Miniaturist next!

2 If you could travel anywhere where would you go and why? I have always wanted to go to Norway, I have a whimsical dream to hike a fjord.

3 Why did you choose to focus on the blogging topic you decided on? I write primarily about cosmetics & travel. I got into skincare about 6 years ago, I found a really great community in it & I used to host meet-ups in my home city. However, I live abroad & travel is what I do now so I enjoy getting to connect with different people & offer what advice I can.

4 What is your favorite type of post to write? I love doing cosmetic comparison reviews for skincare, personal city guides for travel posts.

5 What is your biggest blogging goal for this coming year? I don’t have any concrete milestones since this blog is recreational, just find more enjoyable content & meet other great people!

6 If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Forever mashed potatoes ❤
