Hi, lovelies!

A HUGE thank you to Eden for the recognition and for nominating me for the Dazzling Blogger Award. It is truly an honour to be included in her list of nominees ♡

Living by Eden embraces the simple joys of life and focuses on providing lifestyle, minimalism, and frugality advice based on her own experience. I love reading through her content and would highly recommend checking out her blog and her answers for this award.

  2. Link back to the original blog post. Another BIG thank you to Helen from Crispy Confessions for creating this award.
  3. Answer the seven questions that they asked in their blog post.
  4. Create seven new questions.
  5. Nominate seven more people for The Dazzling Blogger Award, who you think exemplifies excellent blogging skills.

Questions Asked of Me

1. Describe the last photo you took.

The last photo/moment I captured was of my boyfriend standing in front of The Imperial War Museum. Surrounding the area is a Peace Garden where we also got to walk around and enjoy the sun. It was a very educational afternoon and my first time visiting the museum in 10 years.

Along with my family, we had a mini staycation in London, organised by my Dad in his place of work 💕 it was a fun and well-needed break.

2. If you were an animal, what would you be?

It is a bit of a cliche answer, but my favourite animal would have to be dogs 🐶 they never fail to make me laugh or smile. I love them!

3. What moment in your life are you most proud of?

I believe that there should be many moments in life which we should be proud of, so I decided to name a few as an example.

GiftedAndChilling – Being more dedicated to this blog these last several months and recently reaching 500+ followers. To everyone reading this post, I cannot say thank you enough for your unwavering support! ❤

Fun – Doing the Ko’okiri Body Plunge at Universal Studios in Florida. It is a drop-door body slide where riders descent for 125 feet of high-speed fun. I didn’t know that I was lining up for the ride until I was halfway up the stairs and could hear the loud drop of the doors followed by loud screams 😂 My hands and knees were so shaky and my stomach was doing flips the further up I climbed.

Social – Keeping communication with great friends who I’ve through different stages in my life i.e. blogging, education, job.

4. What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear is losing the people I love and hold dearly as I cannot imagine life without a single one of them.

5. If money was no object, what would you be doing right now?

I love this question! Without a doubt, I’d buy my own house, go travelling (this is if COVID wasn’t also a factor), and be a blogger full-time and create more blogging sites with their own focus 😊

6. What “holidays” dish do you look forward to most? 

Christmas is my all-time favourite holiday because of the family gatherings, catchy songs, and shopping for everyone’s gifts. I look forward to the pork stuffing and Yorkshire puddings that my Mum cooks for Christmas dinner…just thinking about it is making my mouth water! 😋 Funny enough, we rarely eat it throughout the year and only on December 25th (and the 26th too because of leftovers).

7. Are you usually early, late or right on time?

I think that I can be classified as an “on-time person” across meeting others and fulfilling responsibilities. I am not a fan of “lateness” and try to prevent it as much as possible 🤞

  1. What fantastic answers! And I love the way you split the question about moments you are most proud of 😊

    The Ko’okiri Body Plunge sounds like a lot fun, but also a little bit scary!

    • Hi Eden! Thank you so much for the nomination 🤗💗 It was so much fun answering your questions ad I’m happy that you liked this post.

      The Ko’okiri Body Plunge was fun yet scary indeed, especially the build up 😂 but I remember feeling the adrenaline pump through my body and a different sense of excitement afterwards.

      Thank you again for recognition and congratulations on your nomination too 💕 Well deserving! Keep up the great work and have a wonderful weekend ✨

  8. Woooop, congratulations on the well-deserved award!

    I don’t think I could even watch you go on the Ko’okiri Body Plunge. I wouldn’t go anywhere near it, I don’t think my heart would survive it 😂

    Your answer to number 4 made me so sad. It’s how I feel about my parents. I suppose at least we have people in our lives, no matter how many or how few, that we love dearly, and that’s awesome. Then we just ignore the possibility of ever losing them because it’s too horrible to contemplate. Ignorance is bliss sometimes!

    I’d love to have money to not have to worry about money. Everything else would be the icing on top – full time blogging and no stress, a house, travelling, sounds like bliss. Maybe we both need to start playing the lottery 😉 That said, you do a fab job with your blog and you always take the time to support other bloggers too, so you should be hugely proud.

    And thank you also for the very kind nomination! 💜💙💚💛

    • Hi Caz! ♡

      Thank you for reading this post and for your lovely comment! 😊

      I went on the body plunge slide with my best friend and we were told that we could not ride at the same time due to previous odd numbers in the queue. So, I decided to go first because I knew that if I watched her disappear, I would have panicked 😂 I can still hear the countdown…

      Yes, we are lucky to have amazing people in our life that we love dearly. It is a huge blessing. I agree with you that sometimes ignorance is bliss because the thought of losing any of them is too painful to dwell on. Treasure them and make every moment count 💗

      You are right that it would be nice to have money to not worry about money and anything more is the icing on top 🙏 Yeah, perhaps we should purchase a lottery ticket for the next draw 😂🤞 It is nice to dream! But there is also a sense of accomplishment and pride to work for your money.

      Thank you for your unfaltering encouragement and support, Caz ♡ It means so much to that you and everyone else visits my blog 🤗 it is a such honour.

      My pleasure and many congratulations on your nomination! 🥳🤩 I LOVE your content – it’s diverse and always a joy to read. I cannot wait to read your answers!

      Hope you have a lovely week ahead ❤
