LIEBSTER AWARD: Get to Know New Bloggers

I'm back. Sorry it's been a while but university deadlines are never a fun time and do eventually take over, but I'm looking forward to just getting back to writing and posting regularly. I thought I'd start back with something quick and fun to get back into the swing of things, and also for you to get to know me, and potentially other bloggers, better. This week, I was nominated by fellow blogger Jess (IamMinimalist) for the Liebster Award, and as part of the nomination, I'm to answer the questions she has provided for me as a way to get to know talented bloggers with smaller audiences. The rules of this are:


1. Answer the 11 questions that your nominator has asked you.
2. Nominate 11 other bloggers (with under 200 followers)
3. Ask your nominees 11 questions.
4. Let them know that you have nominated them!


So, with that being said, these are my answers to the questions that Jess kindly asked me:

1. Where have you last visited? In the Easter holidays I travelled to Portugal with my dad, grandad and step-grandma. We have our own house out there so we go there often; it's like a home away from home.
2. What is your favourite beverage to drink (non-alcoholic) Not to sound too fancy, but I do love a bit of sparkling Elderflower!
3. Do you have a personal routine that you follow on a daily basis? Not anything in particular I don't think; my overall everyday routine is pretty generic. If I had to pick one thing, I make sure to do at least 4 mins of working out everyday with 1 rest day.
4. What is your dream job? At the moment I'm studying Graphics & Illustration, so I would love to illustrate children's books or TV shows, or something related to that anyway. If I had to pick a DREAM job, definitely acting.
5. Where are you from/live? I'm from Nottingham, England.
6. What are you most proud of in your life? I'm obviously proud of myself for passing my school exams and getting into university, but I would say I am most proud of myself for taking on all the mental challenges I've had to face over the years; anxiety, shyness, bullying, eating disorder, ect.
7. What makes you happy? It may sound cheesy, but the truth is my family and friends make me the happiest.
8. If you had the opportunity to travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? Recently, I've been really wanting to travel to Australia. The thought of it used to make me nervous when I was younger (don't know why!) but now I would love to go!
9. What is your biggest goal in life? To have my own, loving, healthy family.
10. What do you love the most about yourself? I've never answered this before, but if I'm truthful, I would have to say how trustworthy and loving I always try to be, to everybody.
11. What is one thing that you'd like your readers to know about you? I am a weirdo! At first appearance, I've been told I can come across quite serious or stubborn, but honestly, it's just my anxiety and nerves, because once I get to know someone truly and become very comfortable, I can be a bit weird sometimes; I know that! I used to try to be less like it, but I've accepted now that that's just me at my true happiest!
