Liebster Award

I've been nominated by the lovely Taylor for the Liebster Award. I've been blogging for less than a month, and I find this to be a great way to recognize new bloggers. I'd like to thank her for nominating me and introducing me to other bloggers who are on their way to being discovered.
Personally, I do not care whether I become a famous blogger. I blog about what I enjoy and hope others can relate to my posts. So, it is with honor that I answer these questions and nominate other bloggers. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rules for the Liebster Award:


  1. Post 11 random facts about yourself.
  2. Answer 11 questions asked by the person who nominated you.
  3. Nominate 11 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) to do the same.

11 Random Facts:

  1. I am an occupational therapist.
  2. I am an only child.
  3. I love marine life and at one point considered going into marine biology.
  4. Living in San Diego for six months is a highlight in my life. I absolutely love it down there and hope to live there permanently  some day.

  7. When I'm extremely stressed out or overwhelmed, I cope by cleaning/organizing my room or working out.

Nominated Bloggers:

  1. What's your favorite color?
    Answer: Turquoise blue
  2. What's your favorite Disney Movie?
    Answer: Beauty & the Beast
  3. If you had three wishes what would they be? (and sorry you can't ask for more wishes!!)
    Answer: 1. I could eat whatever I want without gaining weight. Lol! 2. I had a machine that put together outfits, did my hair and makeup. 3. I wish I had a white Range Rover with leather interior and turquoise blue lights and accents.
  4. What's something you can't live without?
    Answer: My fiance, Alejandro.
  5. If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?
    Answer: I would love to go to Tahiti!
  6. What's the last thing you bought?
    Answer: Coffee
  7. What's your favorite season?
    Answer: Winter, because I love Christmas!
  8. Most embarrassing moment.
    Answer: Oh, man. I had a Tahitian competition in Merced. In between sets, we only had about 30 seconds to change. I panicked, because I couldn't find my grass skirt, but when I did, I only had about 15 seconds. So, I put it on in a rush, but I unfortunately didn't have enough time to tie it tight enough. I got rushed out on stage, and while dancing, my grass skirt kept slipping down, exposing my thong. Luckily, it wouldn't fall all the way down. For competitions, you are not allowed to fix your costume, no matter what!
  9. What's something you have always wanted to do, but haven't?
    Answer: Scuba dive!
  10. Why did you start blogging?
    Answer: I used to have a girly blog on Tumblr, but there were too many blogs in that genre. Eventually, the same posts would just cycle through over and over. I decided to start this lifestyle blog of mine as a way for me to express myself, hoping to inspire others to live life to their fullest.
  11. The best advice you have or have been given.
    Answer: Many people become unhappy, because they expected their lives to be a certain way. If things don't turn out the way you planned, that's okay. Stop, take a deep breath, and move on.

My Questions:

  1. If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    1. You're welcome, Marie!

      I've always been very fond of Beauty and the Beast. I secretly wish it became a huge Broadway musical! Haha!

      As for my first wish, I'm sure it's what every woman has wished at some point! Granted, there are a few women I personally know who can eat whatever they want without gaining a pound (two of them being my cousins)! Oh, how I envy them. Where as for me, I can eat one scoop of ice cream and five pounds go straight to my hips. -_-

      I am so glad that you are able to relate to my posts. That's exactly what I was aiming for when I first created my blog. I didn't want to stick to one niche, because not everyone can relate, whether it be fashion, makeup, etc. I wanted my blog to be as wholesome as possible. :)

      And, for that advice, I am so glad I followed it. I used to get anxious about the future so much that I would get anxiety attacks. I've finally accepted that I need to embrace the here and now. I've been so much happier since! Carry those words with you, and you'll realize how much they'll help. :)
