The Liebster Award

The shopaholic that I'm always jealous of, Mallory of Rolsbak, recently awarded me the Liebster Award and it's now my turn to share the love!

I Google'd what 'Liebster' meant and it's a German noun for darling, beloved person, or sweetheart. Assuming this is true then the English translation would be, "The Darling Award" or "The Sweetheart Award". What ever it is, the idea behind this blog award is wonderful.

The Liebster Award is designed to be awarded to blogs with less than 300 subscribers to spread the blog love and get them out them out to a wider audience.

The Rules:

1. Post displaying the award,

linking back to the person who awarded you.

2. Pick 3 blogs and let them know they're awarded.

My Pick(s):

Liz of Beauty Reductionista.
I am biased towards Canadian Bloggers but honestly, Liz's writing style is precise and informative and it's exactly the what I like. My favorite post by her, here. My shopping addiction cooled down quite quickly thanks to that post. I read it now and then to remind myself not to accumulate junk!

Dani of call it beauty.
Oops, another fellow Canadian Blogger... Dani does a great job creating beautifully bold eye looks. I could never pull them off but a girl can still try!

Che of lovefemme.
Che does a few nail tutorials and here Galaxy Nails are my favorite. Along with pretty nail art, Che always buys the hottest shoes. I have considered robbing her if I were capable of it *cough*...

The brief descriptions of why I enjoy these blogs gives you insight as to why you should check out their blogs and follow them too. However, there is more to their blogs than what I like about them so regardless, go check out their blogs!

Again, thanks to Mallory who awarded me and the person (or people) who came up with this award ♥ 

P.S. Anyone can do this award; there is nothing wrong with sharing the spotlight with a few of your favorite bloggers!

Versatile Blogger Award

Almos two weeks ago, Steph tagged me for the Versatile Blogger Award.
The Versatile Blogger Award happens to be my first Blogger award/tag. You could only imagine how happy I am. It seems a little silly how I'm so flustered over a Blogger award but it's the little things that make me smile!
A very big thank you goes out to Steph ♥

About the Versatile Blogger Award - I have no idea who made it or started it but it's a very simple award. I suppose it's for Versatile Bloggers - those who blog about countless things instead of a particular subject.
The Rules and Guidelines contradict each other, take a look:

The Rules:
Share the link to the person who gave you the award.
Choose 3-5 blogs you would like to give the award to and link them as well.
Leave a message on their blog to let them know.

Guidelines:
Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post!
Tell us 7 things about yourself.
Award 10 other bloggers.
Contact these bloggers.

I italicized the repetitions - see what I mean? *Confused* but I won't fuss about it any further.
I've chosen 5 Bloggers to award instead of 3 or 10. I think 5 is a good number per tag, yeah? A lot of us tag the same people but I want the award to spread around instead of going in a circle.

The Bloggers I'm tagging:
Maquilagem Masstige  (Welcome back!)
Shop N' Chomp
Tracy of Beauty Reflections
Shela of Confessions of a Beauty Guru
Jenny of A Haute Passion

7 Things About Me:
1) I'm a bit of a traveller but not of late. Places I've been to: France, England, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Las Vegas, California, Seattle, Oregon, Hawaii. I would gladly go back to all those destinations and more!
2) I"m definitely an animal person! I've had two bunnies before. Now I have three dogs - the first pup was bought from a breeder and two were adopted.
3) I'm have a huuuuge appetite and you can tell because I'm always hungry. I need to eat at least once every 1-2 hours. Funny story: one of my nicknames used to be, "Seafood King" because I could eat two whole crabs alone, in one sitting. I still can but a girl needs to eat her vegetables too!
4) While on the subject of nicknames; I had a lot growing up. Let me name a few: "Ash the Bash", "Blue Bum" and "Dumbo". Each has a story of their own but I rather not get into it.. it's quite embarassing :$
5) I still have trouble telling time. I don't rely heavily on digital clocks but I prefer them over the traditional one's.
6) I used to hate country and rap music but Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj changed it all. Taylor is just soooo cute and a much better role model than those Disney kids which will be left uunamed. Though, I have trouble understanding Nicki's lyrics. What ever, I still think she's cool!
7) I happen to play MMORPG's (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game). I'm in no way a "girl gamer". I just dabble in Maplestory and Gunbound. NO, I am not too old to be playing these games! They're so darn cute<3

Annnd that's it. I'm quite the boring person aren't I?? Hope you enjoyed getting to know me! Now go check out the Blogger's I tagged >:)

Ciao,
Ashley~
