Liebster Award - I Was Nominated!





Because I am such a ditz, it took me over a month to realize that I had been nominated for a Liebster Award! 

The award is given to a blogger with less than 200 followers and nominations are received from other bloggers. In order to accept the award, the nominator has provided us with 11 questions to answer about ourselves and our blog. 

1.How did you decide on the title of your blog?
There's a song by Emeli Sande called "Heaven" that I first heard while watching a runway show and I fell in love with it. She frequently says "oh, heaven" in the song and I thought it was the perfect fit for me and my blog.

2.What is one word that sums up the heart of your blog and why?
Since my blog is constantly evolving, I would have to go with curious and trying. I'm always wondering about new things and wanting to try them out! So, curious is definitely the perfect word!




3.What’s your favorite pastime other than blogging?
Reading and learning! Gah, I am such a nerd but it honestly never ends!

4.What is your favorite aspect of blogging?
Being able to be creative and be in charge of what I want to do. I also love the immediate interaction you get from your audience!

5.Which recipe, project, idea, or post on my blog would you most like to try yourself or liked the most?
I was nominated by Faith n' Coffee and something I love about her blog is her fearlessness to not hold back! I am still working through my barriers of being super shy but I am slowly getting there! Within time who knows where I'll be!

6.Where does your blog inspiration come from?
Since I am all over the place most of the time with my ideas, inspiration comes from anywhere! Usually I find it in the people I meet, things I read, pictures and music. I know what inspires me but sometimes I shock myself and get inspiration from something weird like...food.

7.What is one country in the world you would like to visit and why?
India! There is something about that country that really just draws me in and captures me. The colors, the people, the religions...I love it all! Definitely in my top five of places I want to visit.

8.If you have children, what are their names? If not, what are your favorite boy and girl names?
Okay, so since my name is a little different I would love to keep that pattern going in my kids. I love the name Enna for a girl and Grayson for a boy.

9. A long lost relative leaves you a large sum of money. What do you do with it?
Pay for school! That is honestly my first priority right now! Then I'd probably use the rest to travel and start my own business.

10.In your opinion, what is the best blog post you’ve written so far? (Include the link)
"Constant" is my favorite post so far. It's the first time I actually let myself be vulnerable on this blog and write what I was really feeling. I want to take this blog more in that direction so more will be coming soon!

11.What is your favorite food?
That's like asking what is my favorite air to breathe. I love almost everything and am always willing to try new things!

12. (added by Selbe) Where do you see your blog going in the next year?
I am looking at changing the style and layout of my blog so that is exciting! I also want to incorporate video more often and keep my YouTube Channel up and going this year! 

So, now it is my turn to nominate some blogs who I think deserve this award! 

1. Kyla from Kymariec
3. Sierra from Enjoy to the End
5. Shannon from Much Most Darling
6. Angie from Chasing my Halo
8. Jessica from Something Whimsy
9. Michelle from Making Our Dream

    Great questions to ask and be asked. I love hearing people's 'kids names' I'd love to visit India too - the colours and flavours of the country are so beautiful! I just hope to visit before it gets too touristy!

The last time I did a "currently" post was three days I moved to college. And here I am now, in my second semester of college. It's crazy how fast time moves.  listening: "Kanye" by The Chainsmokers. This is actually my first time listening to this song and I don't know how to feel about it.  eating: nothing. Too stuffed from the "delicious" dining hall food. drinking: water, water, coffee.... wearing: warm clothes because even inside this library it's cold. feeling: tired. It's been a crazy few days. weather: Cold, windy, and not fun. wanting: to have some fun. The endless homework has begun.  needing: to sleep.  thinking: that thank goodness every day is a new one and I can make it better than the one before. enjoying: getting things done. It's nice to feel productive.  reading: about Cleopatra. I have to write as her so might as well get to know as much about her as possible.  writing: this post but also want to be wr

2015 Goals

Image
So, I am very late to the party when it comes to posting my goals for 2015. Better late than never!  Blog more . Last year I kind of fell off the blogosphere when I started school and I am going to try my hardest to not let that happen this semester. I've put too much hard work into this thing to just let it go.    Make more videos.  Video production is something I really love and want to continue doing for a long time. Right now, my only way to practicing my editing skills is through my YouTube Channel  and it's definitely something I am going to keep up with this year. Join a club at school. Even though my schedule is super packed, joining a club at school is very important to me and is something I need to do for myself. All throughout high school I was in clubs and they meant a lot to me. So, this is part of my old self that I want to bring into the new year. Do charity work. This may seem a little basic but charity work is something I strive to include in the rest

Monthly Goals - March

Image
A new month is here! I know I didn't update last month on my goals, but the truth is that I really didn't have any goals that I was focused on. I mainly just wanted to get through the month without adding anything else onto my plate!  So, with that said, here are my goals for the month of March! Stay organized: I've been pretty good at staying organized this semester and want to keep this going! Focus on me:  I tend to focus more on fixing other people and not myself. This is more of a long term goal for better myself and not just limited to this month. Putting yourself first is so important and is something that I really need to focus on. Decide where I am moving?!: This year I lived in the dorms because it was required and frankly just more convenient for my freshman self but Sophomore year is upon us and it is no longer required to live in the dorms. I'm thinking about becoming an RA but the thought of living off campus is highly appealing as well. I gue
