I was recently nominated for the Liebster Blog Award for 2014 by The Searching Project. This award has just been started as a way of recognizing up and coming bloggers. It really helps readers discover new bloggers to love and follow. I'm really flattered to have been awarded this title! I was given a few questions to answer as part of the award!

Questions:

1. If you could meet anyone (deceased or living) who would it be and why?

If I could meet anyone, it would probably be Tyra Banks. She's always been someone I've looked up to. She's stunning and highly successful, as well as very friendly. She made me dream of being a beautiful girl and being a model. I was always too short to be a model though. Boo.

2. Who is your idol/hero?

My idol is probably beauty blogger, Samantha from http://batalashbeauty.com/. She's insanely talented and just doesn't care what people think of her. She has a wonderful personality and is incredibly artist. I'd love to be as good at makeup as she is.

3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

Germany. I'm from German descent and have always wanted to go there to learn about the culture and learn the language.

4. Why did you begin blogging and who was your inspiration?

I began blogging because I love makeup and wanted to be able to share what I learn with others. I want to help others make education decisions about what they spend their money on. I love sharing my makeup looks with others. My inspiration came from a lot of youtubers like xsparkage and Carah Amelie. 

5. If you could spend a day with a blogger, who would it be?

Samantha from Batalash Beauty. She's so hilarious and fun!

6. Who is your go to style icon?

I don't think that I really have one. I just tend to grab whatever I like without paying too close of attention.

7. What inspires you?

A lot of different sources inspire me, such as pinterest, things I find on MUA, colors from outside, and runway looks.

8. What is your favorite time of year?

Fall is definitely my favorite time of year. It's not too hot out, so I can actually walk around outside without feeling like I'm going to die from a heatstroke. I also love the layered fashion looks that you can pull off in fall. Perfect coffee weather!

9. If you have a second chance on one thing, what would you do over?

I would redo my highschool life and not be so antisocial. I really kept to myself a lot and missed out on a lot of good memories.

10. If you had an unimaginable amount of money, which charity or non-profit organization would you donate to?

I would donate to HIV research. I have a huge soft spot for those who are affected by the disease.
