Liebster Award Nomination

It can be said that to me writing this blog has given me a new lease of life, through my writing and thanks all of you lovelies reading and commenting I have been able to rediscover a fundamental part of myself which I feared had been lost through the waves of university life, studies and life planning!

So while chatting and tweeting with a few readers and fellow bloggers a couple of days ago, I was touched to hear that Talita, of Talita Says had nominated me for the Liebster Award (for much more info zip over to Talita's blog!) Now before we all get a head of ourselves and writing our pageant acceptance speeches a few details must be duly noted:

• The Liebster (German for 'dearest'/'beloved') Award is an inter community honour which aims to inspire a blogging environment of positivity (much like the free love movement)
•  There is no prize or award for the Liebster
• Upon nomination you must complete 5 tasks in order to express acceptance and keep the love train going!
