❤ BLOGGER AWARDS ❤

It’s about time I get doing some of the awards I’ve been nominated for! I love doing these and am always always appreciative that people think of my blog when doing these HOWEVER there have been a couple I know I’ve been nominated for but have NOW LOST! I literally can’t find the post/tag so I haven’t been able to do them I’m sorry💔 I’m also so excited because I have so many posts lined up about my weekend in Amsterdam and new places in London I want to tell you about etc. etc. so wooo happy days!!

Sunshine Blogger Award

I have been nominated for this first one by the beautiful Georgia and also the fabuloouss Amelia ❤

Behold.. The rules to this award:

• Thank the person(s) who nominated you & link to their blog
• Answer the 11 questions sent by the person(s) who nominated you
• Nominate 11 bloggers to receive the award and write 11 questions for them
• List the rules and display the award logo on your post and/or your blog

Georgia’s Questions to me:

1. What quote do you like to live by? VERY good question.. I would have to say “Your worth does not decrease due to someone else’s inability to see it”. I used to be so weak with criticism and any comment made towards me that may not have been very nice. I would use to think about it all day and night and not be able to get over it and just be SO affected by silly words from other people. But now.. I DARE YOU GURL! Jokes haha I just think I have a lot thicker of a skin now….what a tricky sentence to phrase?!
2. What are three words that best describe you? potato with legs
3. What is one thing you would like to change about yourself? I don’t at all think I’m perfect – although yes… I do seem it I KNOW 😉 KIDDING! but I don’t think I’d want to change anything!! I could probably be a bit cooler at times.. and funnier.. but it’s taken me a long time to be happy with proTRUDING forehead and massive ears.
4. What has been the best/worst phase of your life? My first year at uni is both of those haha how this makes sense I don’t know. My first year was a lot of going out and a lot of getting hurt by irrelevant boys. At the time, I was so so down about it all and I felt so unbelievably insecure but at the same time, when it wasn’t about silly boys, having just moved to England, meeting so many amazing friends, going to loads of events and living with everyone together was the most exciting and fun thing and I couldn’t have learnt more about life in that one year.
5. What is your biggest pet peeve? SHOES ON THE BED!! NO!!!!
6. Do you think your boyfriend/girlfriend should know your passwords? I don’t think that they SHOULD have to know it. It’s not a girlfriend/boyfriend thing to do because you should trust the other person enough to not be bothered about that! But at the same time I don’t mind my boyfriend knowing any of my passwords!
7. What is the number one thing on your bucket list for 2017? I would say to have auditioned for X Factor just so that I could say I had done it and gave it a go. That, and also to travel as much as I can – which I know is vague and isn’t exactly a bucket list POINT PER SE but more just a resolution? What am I chattin’…
8. What are you the most thankful for? MY FAMILY and everything in life right now
9. Are you religious? Noooo! A hunna percent atheist!
10. Is it possible to stay friends with your exes? I think it is 🙂 If you ended on good terms and you’re both completely over each other, don’t see why not!
11. Whats your biggest piece of blogger advice for me? I always say this but I think it’s so much better and more fun when blogger are themselves and their personality shines through their posts!

Amelia’s Questions for me:

1. Would you rather spend a day shopping or doing sports? So happy with both!! Definitely depends on my mood hehe
2. If you could have 5 famous people, dead or alive, round for dinner who would you have? ok WOAHH how on earth do I begin to answer this.. I would say Harry Styles (hubba HUBBAA!!), Eddie Redmayne, Zendaya because I follow her on Instagram and she seems hilarious, Mila Kunis andddd omg I literally don’t know! Will get back to you on the last person 😉 Will Smith maybe?!
3. What is your favourite blog post from your blog? Either this or this 😉
4. What is your favourite place you’ve ever visited? This is too hard! I’ve had to answer this before and I feel like I’ve been to a lot of places and they were all so different and all so amazing in their own way! Mongolia and Bali stand out to me! and maybe Italy tooo!
5. What is your favourite quote? “If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” Quote by the wonderful Roald Dahl for you all hehe ❤
6. How would you describe yourself in 3 words? ahh I don’t know!! Weird and happy would definitely make up two of them haha!!
7. If you could change one mistake you’ve made in your life, what would it be and how would you change it? I hate to suddenly make this post all deep but my biggest mistake I don’t want to talk about 😞😞 WOAHH #PERSONAL!
8. What’s your favourite film? Right now it’s the film Lion and if you haven’t seen it – honestly you will have a whole new appreciation for life and we all need this film in our lives because it’s too unbelievably moving.. I didn’t cry ok..
9. What’s your favourite animal? DOGS! they’re just so loving and don’t have a bad bone in their body. Oh and also dolphins and maybe pandas too
10. What’s your favourite flower? Roses for SUREE! Receiving flowers is so amazing to me, especially if their roses – it’s literally my favourite thing!
11. What’s your most embarrassing moment? OK SO, I have literally had more embarrassing moments in my life than you can possibly count – but the one that sticks out in my mind right now is the time I first got to uni and I didn’t know anyone. Over time a particularly “popular” or “cool” group emerged from everyone. This group of boys at the time just somehow got to know everyone really quickly and they were friends with a lot of people living in our accommodation at the time. There I was one afternoon doing my laundry, as I do… and I walk into the laundry room to find THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE doing theirs at the same time!! and I was like “omg Jo.. be COOL..THIS IS YOUR TIME!” (well.. as cool as I could have been in a hoodie and ugly pyjama trousers). I made some conversation and it was all fine, I managed to crack a few jokes here and there… you know how it is..
    UNTIL they were like “oh Jo, we were actually just talking about our favourite drinks, what’s yours?” Now, looking back, they were talking about nights out etc. so obviously I should have guessed but without thinking I blurted out “CHOCOLATE MILK FOR SURE!” and I would say there was about a 3 second pause before an outburst of laughter. “NOO Jo!! You’re favourite alcoholic drink on a night out!!!” and I was literally like oh my god.. how do I come back from this.. so do a really awkward.. “umm.. chocolate milk.. and vodka is what I meant…” It was bloody embarassing at the time but HEY! I’m dating one of them now and I can vouch for us all he’s really not cool at all 😉 hehe
