The One Lovely Blog Award

Hi, Just to let you know it might be a little quiet on my blog as I've got a horrid cold and just can't get my brain to work, but I'm trying my best. That aside I was really cheered up when I found that Moanymouse had nominated me for the 'One Lovely Blog Award', her blog is also rather lovely so you should go check it out. I know some people aren't always a fan of these chains but I love them because I think they are a great way for people to find new blogs to enjoy. So on to the award, I tried to research a little about this award but I couldn't really find any info on it's origin.

Award Rules

• Thank the person who nominated you & provide a link to their blog.
• List the rules and display the award.
• State seven facts about yourself.
• Nominate 5-10 bloggers for the award and leave a comment on one of their posts to let them know. 

Seven Facts About Me

1. I am really good at saving and been generally thrifty, I enjoy watching my money grow more than I enjoy spending it.
2. I studied Art at University, I now work doing something vaguely artistic but my degree didn't help me get the job.
3. I was a massive Sonic the Hedgehog fan as a kid, I'm talking Sega Sonic the original and the best.
4. I am a Pisces, I'm not super into horoscopes but I do like to read them out of interest now and again.
5. I'm 26 and I still don't feel like a grown up, I doubt I ever really will.
6. I'm afraid of falling signage, like the giant letters on the front of buildings. (A little weird maybe? but it happens).
7. I think the sun is the prettiest in the winter when you crave it more, on one of those really crisp winters days where it seems unnaturally bright.

Versatile Blogger Award - Again

Hi, I got nominated for the versatile blogger award again, I wasn't sure I wanted to do the post again but it's not really fair on my nominator and I can use this opportunity to share some more blogs that I love to read with you. I was nominated by the lovely Sherrie Adele, go and check out her blog (thank you for the nomination).

 The Versatile Blogger Rules:

• Post the award on your blog
• Thank the person who nominated you
• Share seven facts about yourself
• Nominate 15 blogs and let them know

So here goes with my seven facts about me, if you would like to read my first seven facts you can do so here. Again I'm going to try and think of interesting facts about myself.

1. My favourite colour is rainbow, I was trying to think of a single colour but I just can't decide, is it a rule that you can only have one favourite and not a collection because in that case its green and purple, like a piece of fluorite.
2. I love hats, I think I really suit them, but then that's just my opinion. There's nothing better than autumn when a felt hat is basically a requirement with pretty much every outfit I wear.
3. I watch the new My Little Pony series, Pinkie Pie is my favourite pony, she's always so bouncy and fun as a character.
4. I don't like to pay full price for anything, chances are if I can't get it reduced I will do without.
5. I would describe myself as alternative even though my style has grown up a lot, my taste in music is very much the same as 16 year old Sam's. Favorites include Green Day, Blink 182, Reel Big Fish, Sum 41, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Paramore to name a few.
6. My favourite fruity scent is coconut, it's such a relaxing, fresh and sweet smelling scent.
7. I'm a Marmite lover, I don't eat it as much as I once did, cheese and Marmite sandwiches are the best.

Here are my nominations - I tried to pick blogs with smaller amounts of followers to support those bloggers like myself just staring out and lost in the crowd of the many blogs on the internet. There are a few blogs who I just really like and had to include. They're all really awesome blogs and you should go check them out.

1. Amanda - Amanda Janye
2. Kirsty - Kirsty Talks
3. Kacy - KacyTalksBeauty
4. Deimante - Sunnydei
5. Natasha - Eyebrows, Inc
6. Becky - Becky Eschle
7. Jenna - Dorkface
8. Alice - What Alice Wore 
9. Lois - Makeup Of Mayhem
10. Nicole - Life in Ginger
11. Lauren - What Lauren Did Today
12. Emily - One Stormy Sunday
13. Crystal Lily - Five Foot Four
14. Katie - Katie Goodluck
15. Alexandra - A Blond Moment

Thanks again to Sherrie for the nomination. I couldn't be happier with my blog and it's progress. Thank you for reading I hope you'll stick around for a while to come. Let me know if there are any post subjects you would like me to work on.

Versatile Blogger Award

Hi, I woke up this morning to find I had been nominated for the Versatile Blogger award, such a lovely thing to start the day. I was nominated by the lovely Sonam over at FashtasticFlare, you should go check out her blog, thanks for the nomination.

 

The Versatile Blogger Rules:

•  Post the award on your blog
• Thank the person who nominated you
• Share seven facts about yourself
• Nominate 15 blogs

So here are my seven things about me, I'm trying to think of more in depth facts rather than the normal small stuff, it's quite hard to think of things that are interesting, but here goes, enjoy!

1. I take photos at my place of work and I mean a lot of photos but never remember to take photos of day to day life. I guess I'm too busy living it instead, but one photo every now and then would be nice.
2.  I feel like 26 is old to start blogging and that it's a world for the younger generation, but here I am trying anyway.
3. I refuse to grow up, I mean this in the sense that I love all things Pokemon, My little Pony, Lego the list goes on. I will forever buy Pokemon games for Nintendo DS, I even went as far as buying a console for the last game as it wasn't compatible with my trusty original DS.
4. I don't care what people think. I have odd moments of self doubt but normally I really don't care, I like to buy items of clothing that make me stand out.
5. I'm a tidy person but I tend to live in an organized chaos, this is due to the fact my room is tiny. My room is a cut off from my parents so I could have my own space away from my sister. 13 years on and my habit of buying clothes has made it a tight squeeze.
6. My favorite flowers are daffodils, they come out around my birthday and I love that they are quite short lived making me love them even more when they return the following year.
7. I studied a degree in art which I finished 5 years ago now. I haven't done anything all that creative since like my artistic side got worn out or something, I'd love to get back into doing some small projects.

 Here are my nominations - They're all really awesome blogs and you should go check them out.

1. Sammii - Always Rains Glitter
2. Hayley - Hayerlily
3. Camille - Camille.i.am
4. Alexandra - A Blond Moment
5. Emma - Emma's Looking Glass
6. Phoebe - Phoebe's Diary
7. Jennie - Sunny Sweet Pea
8. Victoria - vvnightingale
9. Sara - She Who Is Short
10. Susan - Dresses & Travel
11. Hayley - Sailor Stories
12. Amy - Amy Elizabeth
13. Sarah - Sarah Louise Porter
14. Amelia - Heart Shaped Rose
15. Tessa - Holly Sparkle

I'd like to thank everyone who has followed and reads my blog so far. I am really happy with the progress I have made in such a small amount of time and I hope you'll stick around to see momentarily dreaming grow.

Thanks for reading.

Sam
