{Liebster Award Nomination} 1




Somewhere in the blog-o-sphere one clever soul came up with a challenge for bloggers to share a little more about themselves and at the same time, connect with other bloggers and grow their audience. 

Last week  I had a wonderful surprise on my twitter notifications from the lovely Loné at Simply Organize Life. She has challenged me to share a little more about myself by nominating me for the Liebster Award. I am excited to be a part of this challenge :)  

The Liebster Award focuses on introducing newbie bloggers to the blog-o-sphere by challenging a few newbie bloggers to answer a few questions about themselves. Once these bloggers have answered their questions, linked back to the blogger they have the opportunity to nominate and challenge other newbie bloggers. What is great about this challenge is no one is obligated to complete this challenge, sometimes as we all know, getting a post out on a certain day can be quite a challenge. but i felt it would be a great opportunity for my visitors (new and old) to get to know a little more about me.    

So without further adieu here are the questions Loné at Simply Organize Life asked me; 


My perfect Day is one filled with sunsets. I have come to realise that I have a small obsession n with mountains and sunsets. So a day spent in the middle of no where with sunsets and a glass of wine is my perfect day. 

This picture was taken in Zimbabwe, Lake Kariba. I have never experience sunsets like these before. 


I get to share what is important to me in the form of a blog! I have also met a few wonderful bloggers in the process.



Wine! No questions asked



 My husband proposing to me on the London Eye, It was everything I was hoping for and more!



 I have one of each! I love them both differently but equally. In fact my dogs cant live without the cat and vise versa!
This is my dog Shiloh (she is a beagle and I often mention her every now and then in my posts)



This is a difficult question for me! I have traveled to so many beautiful countries (France, Italy, Spain, Japan, USA, Germany, Dubai). I have fond memories of my time in Rome walking around the Colosseum with a gelato in my hands. I can still taste the pizza’s and wine when I think back to Venice (oh and the Gondolas!) and The David in Florence- The only other guy in my life. 

It was a Vacation I still talk about and will most definitely never forget!




Probably A Midnight in Paris with Owen Wilson and Rachel Mc Adams. Every time I watch this movie I travel back to Paris. I love that Owen Wilson's character Gil meets great Artists,writers and musicians - I suppose I would love to meet them too and I feel I do whenever I watch this movie.   



According to Goodreads I have read 6. Which is totally shameful as I read close to 30 books last year. I am currently stuck reading the Outlander series!
I am obsessed with Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series which has also been adapted into a TV series 



Honestly there could be room for improvement in all areas of my life. But specifically, I hate that I don’t plan my meals properly!  


 I am a fussy seafood eater. I love sea food but I will not touch calamari.



Gilmore Girls will forever and ever be my favourite series. I cry at the end every time and now that there has been confirmation of a revival (4 new episodes) i will probably cry in each of the final 4 episodes.
