Liebster Award 2

So to start, we want to recognize and thank the person who nominated us:

 

Liebster Award Nominator:

For this award, Camping for Women was nominated by Lea of the blog Lou and Lea.

Lou and Lea

Liebster Award 3Lou and Lea is a Design and Photography blog for everyone who wants to step up their creativity game.

Her goal is to inspire her readers to create a more beautiful life for themselves, simply through perceiving the world as an artistic place.

 

Answers by Nicole to 11 Questions from Lea:

Question 1: Summer or Winter?

For the most part, I prefer summer when I can go swimming, boating and fishing. I would rather often feel too hot than too cold.

Question 2: Who is your favourite superhero?

At the moment I would have to say Wonder Women which is quite topical right now. Amazon Women Rock!

Question 3: Which book could you read over and over again?

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Question 4: Do you have any weird habits?

Sometimes, when thinking to myself in a waiting room, I can/have laughed out loud when I remember or associate with something really funny. This has caused people to look at me wondering what’s going on.

Question 5: Are you a money spender or a money saver?

I like to be good at balancing both. Not forgetting to live life now but planning for tomorrow.

Question 6: What was your funniest moment in life?

My friend and I accidentally got left behind as the boat left the Arizona Memorial in the middle of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. That took a bit of explaining afterwards.

Question 7: What are you the proudest of in your life?

That I was asked to give an address to Breast Cancer Survivors at the International World Championship Dragonboat Regatta, where I was also the youngest flag bearer for my country.

Question 8: Which famous person would you like to be?

Angelina Jolie. I think she is pretty amazing. She does great humanitarian work while looking after her kids and in movies, she even does her own stunts.

Question 9: If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Antarctica – this region has always fascinated me – but I would take plenty of warm clothes!

Question 10: Which fictional character do you relate to the most?

Lara Croft, Tomb Raider!

Question 11: Are you a morning person or a night owl?

At the moment, more of a morning person. I like to get an early start on the day.

      Thanks very much Louise. I guess when you think about it, it must still be going for a good reason. Many awards of course have long histories to them, particularly if they are still achieving popularity.

    Fabulous post Nicole, it was so awesome to get to know you a bit more through your questions and answers. I have the same weed problem, despite my consistent picking they just never stop! Under a Tuscan Sun is one of THE best movies, I secretly want to be her and just drop everything and move there without a worry (with the hubs in tow though) and I am a HUGE dog lover too. We have 4: a newfoundland, mastiff, havanese and bichon mix!

      It’s good to know we have quite a bit in common, although I’m not sure I would be able to do 4 dogs justice on top of everything else but yours sound a very interesting mix. I think your blog Eclectic Twist has so much great information for people and I so look forward to seeing your nominees also. All the best and maybe we might cross each other’s paths in Tuscany some day…you never know! Thanks so much for commenting.
