The Sunshine Blogger Award

I've been nominated for the Sunshine award by Kate which I'm really happy and grateful for! I love her blog and she's a great person so I'm really happy with this!

"The whole idea of the Sunshine Award is that you nominate eleven bloggers who put a little sunshine in your day, who are positive, creative, and inspiring."

The Rules:

- You have to post a picture of the Sunshine award in the blog post. 

- Post 11 random facts about yourself.

- Answer the 11 questions from the blogger who nominated you.

- Nominate 11 wonderful bloggers.

- Write 11 questions for them to answer.

- Let the bloggers you nominated know you have nominated them.

11 facts:

- I'm a diabetic with a sweet tooth and a severe needle phobia. Oh, the irony.

- I own over 20 scarves and I still want more, they're my clothing obsession.
- I just hit 1,000 views this month and I couldn't be happier, thank you everyone!
- I wear skirts and dresses more in theAutumn/Winter than I do in Summer.
- I almost never wear tights, instead I wear leggings because they keep me warmer and mean that I don't have to worry about flashing as much!
- If I don't know what to wear in the morning, I do my make up first and decide on those colours, then build an outfit around that.
- I would love to work in a museum one day, artefacts absolutely fascinate me!
- If I don't end up following a career in Archaeology/Ancient History, I want to become a journalist or write in a magazine.
- I find people that think they know everything highly annoying.
- I'm a grammar and spelling freak. I correct everyone and everything. 
- I am basically connected to my phone, it keeps me in the loop with so many things and makes it so much easier to stay organised; the notes and reminders apps are by far the most used things on my phone!

Kate's questions for me:

- Best day of your life?
10th May 2012. Or Prom. It was amazing, and after prom was equally special. I have so many fantastic friends and it was great to hang out with them all and just have fun!
- Favourite flower?
I love all flowers, they always look so pretty together; I can't choose just one!
- Are your toenails currently painted?
Nope! I only ever paint my fingers.
- A quote to live by?
"Aerodynamically a bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway" - Mary Kay Ash
- Biggest problem in your life right now?
Stress. I stress over everything.
- What does your most recent text message say?
Night! :)
- 13th line on the 123rd page of your favourite book?
I don't have a favourite book! I have several!
- Do you read a newspaper?
I have a news email update every day which is great!

Lose Yourself cover by Hudson Taylor and Orla Gartland.

It will be 5am so I hope I will be asleep!

Sunshine Blogger Award

So my friend Kate has nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger award which has made me so happy today! Apparently people are nominated for their blog if someone thinks that it "positively and creatively inspires others in the blogosphere" (had to nick that from you, Kate, I haven't seen anything else about this award apart from this!). I feel really happy and proud that she thinks that my blog is good enough to qualify for that!!
Another part of the award is that the nominator sets the nominee 10 questions, so here are mine!

1. What was the best day of your life? The first day I think of when people ask that is Prom. It was so amazing and it was spent with some of my favourite people in the world! 
2. Your favourite thing about your bedroom? I love my room but I can't choose anything that I like the best! Probably my bed though...it's a good bed. 
3. Your proudest achievement to date? I'm not sure if I have a proudest moment! I would probably say when I got my GCSE results back because I had proof that all of my hard work had payed off! 
4. Favourite TV show? I love a lot of TV shows, including Sherlock, Merlin, Bones, House and Doctor Who, but my ultimate favourite is NCIS. It's so funny and has amazing, constant story lines, plus it's had 10 seasons now which is awesome, season 11 will begin filming in September so I'm super excited! 
5. Something you're addicted to? (or practically addicted to!) American sweets, internet window shopping, Starbucks and sleep are probably the biggest ones! 
6. Who's your celebrity crush? I don't really have a celebrity crush...I have people I think are awesome (Hugh Laurie, Robert Downy Jr, Matt Smith...hello? All awesome and funny!) but no one I have a crush on!
7. Where do you hope to be in 10 years time? As my friends like to say; "digging a hole in the ground somewhere!"... Yeah... Something to do with archaeology hopefully so if that's fieldwork or museums, I don't mind as long as I'm enjoying it!
8. Your favourite ever smell? Oooh.....I really like the smell of coffee shops, bakeries, orange, scented candles (most Yankee candles smell sooo nice...I spend so long in their shop smelling each candle until I feel like I have to leave due to the cashier giving me evils...) and my favourite perfume ever, L'elixir by Nina Ricci. It even comes in an Apple shaped bottle! 
9. Something you own more than twenty of? Scarves. Or shoes. I have so many, I swear I have a problem....
10. If you had to pick one song to start the 'soundtrack to your life', what would it be? Oh gosh, that's such a hard question! Umm.....I don't know! Definitely something by Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor, Gabrielle Aplin, Hudson Taylor, Orla Gartland or Lauren Aquilina... Maybe King by Lauren Aquilina, it's such a nice song!

Hope you guys enjoyed this! I have no one to actually tag or nominate which is slightly rubbish! 

Go and check out Kate's blog because she is awesome and is so lovely. If I had to nominate someone, I'd nominate her again but I wouldn't want her to have to do even more questions so yeah!
