A little about me, courtesy of the Liebster Blog Award (Thanks, Andrea!)

Thanks to the wonderful Andrea of Life's Divine for giving me the Liebster blog award. I am flattered! 

This Award is designed to be passed along by bloggers to bloggers to help share blogs you love and discover new ones. It is specifically for blogs with no more than 200 GFC subscribers.

If you are nominated, the idea is for you to write a post including 11 facts about yourself, the answers to the questions the blogger who nominated you asked, the 11 blogs you would like to nominate, and the 11 questions you would like those bloggers to answer.

I don't follow/know of any blogs who have not already been nominated for this award (I clearly do not read very many blogs - would love suggestions for new ones to read in the comments!), so I am not going to nominate anyone... it seems like it has already gone around quite a bit. I will say that my favorite blogs are those that do have few followers, because they are usually more *real*. So thank you, ladies, for keeping me entertained!

 Also, I am too lazy to come up with 11 random facts about myself, so you get 9 instead.

9 random facts about me:

1. I've never smoked a cigarette.

2. I loathe those stick figure family stickers people put on their cars. 

3. I am a candy addict. This relates to question below about what you would tell your teen self. I created many bad habits back then that I still cannot break!

4. My car is a stick shift and I love it even though it is a pain when I am wearing heels!

5. My dream is to open an animal shelter.

6. I'm a lawyer. But you probably already know that.

7. My favorite foods: jelly donuts, mac and cheese from Panera, cheese in general.

8. I was a cheerleader in high school.

9. I don't like peanut butter.

If you were only allowed one make-up product, what would it be?

Mascara. Most days, that's all I really wear. (Also, I am totally not counting lip balm as makeup for the purposes of this question .)

If you had to live somewhere else, where would it be?

Had to? More like if I got to. In a fantasy world, I'd like to go live in Denmark because they are the happiest people on earth.

What do you wish you could tell your teenage self?

In 10 years, you will not be able to eat whatever you want and still be super thin, so lay off the mountain dew, ding dongs, oreos, and other assorted junk food already!

What's a health/fitness tip that just doesn't seem to work for you?

Most of them don't work for me - I just try to be reasonable.

What was your most listened to song of 2012?

Party rock anthem. Best song EVER. (Try not to judge me too harshly for that :D)

What is your favorite smell or fragrance?

The Body Shop Satsuma scent. Sooo good.

Share your best home organization tip!

You are asking the wrong person. My house is messy pretty much all the time.. really wish I had the organization gene.

What is your favorite post work-out snack?

I am never hungry after I work out so I usually just have water. That's bad, isn't it? Aren't you supposed to eat to help build muscle and stuff? oh well...

What made you smile yesterday?

My fiance bought me a fancy cupcake

What is your go-to outfit for everyday?

Honestly, I don't have one. My outfits change drastically from day to day. One day I will wear J.Crew pixie pants and a knit top, and the next day a pencil skirt and heels (mostly pixie pants though). There is no real dress code where I work so I get to wear whatever I feel like wearing that day!

What do you really like to bake or cook? Or what would you like to learn how to bake or cook?

Cakes! And let it be known that fondant is disgusting - buttercream all the way.

So, thank you again Andrea! 

Again I ask you readers who are much more hip and up to date than I, what new/small blogs am I missing out on? Do tell!
