Just kidding. Peppermint And Paisley nominated me for a Liebster Award! THANK YOU SO MUCH MA'AM! What is it, you ask? It's kinda like playing Tag, except that you're tagging other bloggers (who have less than 200-300 followers). So basically, you're helping them be discovered by your readers. So thank you ma'am.
There are a few rules that go along with it, so READY, GET SET, GO!
1. Thank the blogger that nominated you - See previous paragraph.
2. List 11 random facts about yourself
- I've been known to put ice cream in the microwave, because I prefer it melted
- I'm a picky eater. I don't like cheese, butter, margarine, oatmeal, a bunch of Nigerian soups, and too many more to mention
- I'm 5'2" max. My mum says she's 5'4," and I'm taller than her :p
- I love HEARTS! My everyday accessory is a ring with 2 hearts that my dad got me
- I'm a closeted Drake fan *hides face*
- I've taken French (3 years), Spanish (1 year) and Italian (1 year) lessons - No, I can't speak any of them
- I currently have 2 jobs (one full-time, one part-time)
- I talk to myself. A lot. As in, lips moving. With audible words.
- I love shopping, but I get overwhelmed after about an hour or two.
- If I could, I would eat bread, cakes, and pastries EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.OF.MY.LIFE.
- I'm deathly afraid of animals. Like I'd cross the street if I saw a dog on the same side as me. And I once woke up screaming and falling out of bed, because I dreamt that a cat brushed by my leg.
3. Answer the questions posted by the blogger who nominated you
- an ingredient/food?
- A very moist, warm chocolate cupcake, with a surprise filling!
- a movie character?
- A sexy siren
- an item of clothing?
- Lace lingerie
- a book?
- An etiquette guide or historical romance novel
- a color?
- PINK!
- a song?
- A mix between something jazzy, bluesy, classical, and new age. It has to be haunting, yet lilting.
- an animal?
- Yuck. A flamingo, maybe? Or a butterfly.
- a month?
- Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
- a place?
- Monaco or Greece or Paris or Italy. An island with white sandy beaches and crisp, clear blue seas
- a scent?
- Jasmine/Rose
- a word?
- Meh, how do I choose one? I'm tempted to say SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS, but gawsh, it's just stressful. LOVE! (it just came to me)
4. Nominate 11 other bloggers *this is actually the hardest. For the past 3 days, I've found only 9 blogs I like with less than 200-300 followers.*
Vegan Nigerian (She's vegan for real. I checked.)
5. Ask your nominees 11 questions
- Why is your blog name what it is? (e.g. mine's Berrry Dakara because it's an amalgamation of 2 nicknames from my Ogoni and Igbo names. That, and it's a play on my Ogoni name too)
- Who's your favorite celebrity and why?
- What color shoes are you wearing right now?
- Would you wear an engagement ring on your middle finger or fourth finger? (Yes it's such a random question, I know)
- What's your dream vacay destination?
- #TeamNatural, #TeamRelaxed, or #TeamItsJustHairChillOut?
- When was the last time you prayed?
- What's your favorite color?
- What number child are you?
- What's the last meal you cooked?
- Would you rather do 100 jumping jacks or 75 squats?
6. Notify your nominees
