Liebster award x 2

So yesterday I received my second nomination for the Liebster Award from the lovely Charlotte from Charlotte Speaks About. If you haven't already, check out her blog here. I love it.  

If you don't know the rules of the Liebster Award you can read about it on my original blog post here. 

There are variations of the rules but following the ones from Charlotte call for eleven random facts about yourself. This wasn't part of my original post so it's quite an nice little addition plus it's nice to write a little more about myself.

Eleven random facts about me:

1. I have recently been awarded a Bachelor of arts degree with honours, in Events Management  

2. I am 5 ft 2" (Yes very short haha)
3. My favourite show is The Walking Dead
5. My ultimate girl crushes are Jennifer Lawrence, Isla Fisher and Emma Stone
6. I have recently moved into a new flat with my boyfriend
7. My middle name is Jayne (I love that it's spelt with a "y")
8. I love anything shabby-chic
9. I have a cat called Fizz (named by one of my sisters when she loved the Tweenies)
10. Cheesecake is my favourite desert - especially strawberry. Yum.
11. I have a small swallow bird tattooed on my hip

Now it's time to answer the eleven questions given to me by Charlotte. 

1. If you held a dinner party who would you invite? - This could be anyone. 
Hmmm... Well first I'd invite my close friends and family, then I'd invite someone they'd each like to meet. So my mum loves Johnny Depp so I'd invite him. 

So without rambling on too much about who I'd invite for each person.. I think the famous/well known people that would be joining me, my friends and family would be: 

• Johnny Depp - for mum haha
• Jennifer Lawrence - she seems so fun! 
• Bradley Cooper - more that one of my friends are boarder-line in love with him
• Barack Obama - also seems super cool
• Michel Roux jr - my boyfriend loves all things food related 
• Nicholas Sparks - I love his books 
• Rachel McAdams - she's so pretty and seems lovely 
• J.K Rowling - we could talk Harry Potter all night

This would be one interesting dinner party haha! There would probably be many more people too, but I could spend all night thinking about it so should probably stop. 

2. If you could be an animal what would you be and why?
I would probably be a cat - crazy cat lady is back! They're so pampered and cuddly. Plus I'd happily lay in the sun all day having tickles from my loving owners. 

My kitty-cat, Fizz

3. If you could build anything at all, what would you build?
Now the first thing that popped into my head was my dream house - as that would be amazing. But then I really thought about it. If I could honestly build anything at all, I'd build a huge place where everyone in the world who wasn't safe -  those struck with poverty, domestic abuse, war - anything that made them feel at risk,  could find a safe place. Cheesy I know, but this would be much better then building my dream house. It's more of a dream house for those in need. *more cheese ha*. 

4. What's your favourite film?
I have so many films that I love, and it really all depends on what I'm in the mood to watch - but I'd say one of my all time favourite films is The Holiday. It's such a feel good film which *bonus* is also a Christmas film. What more could you want?

5. Would you rather have four arms and two legs, or two arms and four legs?

Haha I love this question. I would chose four arms and two legs. You could get so much done with 4 arms! Make-up and hair? No issues. Need to hold loads of bag? Easy. However 4 legs? Imagine how much you'd spend on shoes!

6. If you could be a superhero who would you be and why?

Ooh this is tough. There are so many amazing super-heroes and powers, I think I'd choose Violet from The Incredibles. I imagine it would be very exciting to have the ability to become invisible and create force fields. Plus she's individual which is cool - go Violet.

7. You have 4 free plane tickets, where would you go and who would you take?
I'd take my mum, step-dad, sister and boyfriend and we'd go on a round the world trip - I know that's probably slightly cheating - but if you don't ask you don't get... Haha. 

8. What is your dream job?

My dream job would to be an actress. Not that I know how to act in the slightest, but having the opportunity to play different roles and characters for living seems like a lot of fun to me (plus I could be friends with Jennifer Lawrence!).

9. What's you're favourite thing to cook?
I love baking. Especially cakes and especially cheesecake. I find baking so much fun and it's lovely to see people enjoying a little treat that you've made.

10. If you could only eat one food/meal for the rest of your life, what would you chose?
Oh my gosh.. this is so hard! I love food and couldn't imagine having to chose just one food. At the moment I think I'd chose Pizza as it's something you can change around to make it a little more exciting. Although I'm sure this would change almost daily - there's to many delicious foods out there. 

11. What is your favourite thing to write about?
To be honest, I wouldn't say there's one particular topic. So anything lifestyle related that I can chit-chat about. 

The people I nominate for the Liebster Award are:

1. Brunette Wavez
2.Totally Typical
3. Just A Bit of Nicole
4. Confessions of a Shopaholic
5. Where Our Time Went
6. Karis Arkinson
7. Lipstick Kisses
8. Let us Wonderlust 
9. Jessica's Journal
10. Wendy's Nook
11. P.S Ashley  

The 11 questions for my nominees are:

1. What is your favourite food?

2. If you could travel to one place in the world where would it be?

3.  If you could pick one, would it be shoes or Handbags?
4. Who is your favourite fictional character and why?
5. What piece of advice would you give your younger self?

Liebster Award.

At around midnight yesterday my email pinged to say I had a new comment on one of my blog posts - which is exciting in its self. However this comment was from the lovely TashEmily over at A World Full of Wonders  - if you haven't already, check out her blog - it's adorable - nominating me for the Liebster Award.

I've seen this floating around the blogging world and I think it's pretty well known, but if you haven't heard of it these are the rules: 

• You must answer all questions that are given to you 
• You must link back to the person who nominated you 
• When you finish this, you must nominate eleven bloggers who have less than 200 followers
• Provide your nominees with eleven questions of your choice
• You cannot nominate the person who nominated you 
• You must inform your nominees that you have nominated them 
• Provide your nominees with a link to your post for more information

So... The questions given to me are: 

If you could describe your blog in one word what would it be?
I would have to say "chatty" - I think most of my posts are generally just me chatting - but instead of talking, I'm writing. This may not make as much sense to anyone who may read this as it does in my mind... But yeah.. Chatty. Haha. 

Favourite clothing shop?
Umm.. At the moment I would probably say... Forever 21. I love the range of pretty and girly clothes they have on offer and the prices are student friendly too (Bonus!)

What was the last book you read?
I have recently finished reading "Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy" by Helen Fielding. After having this one my shelf for ages, I finally got around to reading this. Personally, I really enjoyed this book. It's easy to read and perfect for some bed time or on the beach reading. 

Who is your idol/inspiration?
I'm not sure if I really have an idol as such - But someone who inspires me is my mum (a little cheesy I know haha). But she really always has and does everything she can to support me (even if I'm just calling for a rant over nothing in particular) - and is always there to offer me honest advice.

Biggest phobia?
Now I have a couple of phobias but my biggest one - which I'll just warn you may sound a little odd - is a Zombie Apocalypse. The thought of Zombies or a Zombie apocalypse honestly terrifies me... I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead (best show ever)  but watching it (or anything else zombie related for that matter) honestly gives me nightmares.. and yes I am 22 haha! In fact my fear is so huge that sometimes when I'm out and about I try and plan what I'd do if a zombie was to appear - crazy I know. 

Are you more likely to scream or laugh on a roller-coaster?
100% scream. I don't really like roller-coaster as I'm scared of heights so I would definitely be screaming a lot.. and possibly crying haha. 

Favourite T.V show?
As previously mentioned my favourite T.V show is by far The Walking Dead. Despite my huge fear of Zombies and not usually liking anything gory I LOVE this show. I have the first 3 seasons on DVD, am waiting for the 4th of cannot wait for the 5th to be aired.. If you haven't seen it... Go and watch it right now!

Something you're looking forward to in the future?
Ooh there are lots of things I'm looking forward too.. but one thing I would chose is the point when I can (hopefully) have a little kitten of my own.. (hello crazy cat lady) and a puppy too. 

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I think everyone usually has a few things they'd like to change about themselves - even just teeny tiny things - but (without going into too much detail putting a downer on this post) I suffer with anxiety when in a situation I'm not comfortable with. It's not a massive issue and I know there are loads of people who suffer much worse - but it's enough to stop me from doing things I'd like to - especially those including travel or places I'm not familiar with. So I would take that away if I could. 

If you could only visit one place in the world - and then never leave your town/city again - where would you go?
Ooh this is a tough one... There are so many places I'd love to visit. If I had to narrow it down, I think it would have to be America. I've been to Florida previously, but I would love to road-trip around the of the the USA.

What is the most important possession you own?
I'm not 100% if this counts as more than one possession - but I'd say the photos I have printed out is my most important possession(s). I love looking  back at the memories and think they're perfect to look at when feeling a little low.
