Liebster Award

I was nominated over the past couple of months by three lovely ladies for the Leibster Award, Jenni at Flying on a Rainbow Pristine at New Kid on the Loch and Selena at Oh, the places we will go.

Now this means that you share 11 random facts about yourself, and answer the questions they set out for you. Since no one wants to read me answer 33 questions, I chose a few from each blogger.

11 Random facts about me

* I used to wear a retainer, and secretly always wished for braces. After hearing my friends say how painful they were I’m glad I never had to have them though.

* I don’t really like when my food touches, yet I will try to put everything on the fork at the same time for the perfect bite. Totally counterproductive.

* I’ve been dying my hair purple yet every time I try to take a picture it looks like a different colour in each one, which is driving me nuts. It’s also decided to pull more red than purple.

* My family used to name our dogs after alcohol, we had Bruesky, Brandy, Molson, Jack Daniels, and now my Mom has broken the tradition with Dexter.

* I normally paint my nails at least twice a week.

* I will stop and try to pet random strangers dogs, 90% of the time. And normally say hi to the dogs not the people first.

* I recently decided I was going to organise my life with a planner. I then lost some concert tickets. A few weeks later after panicking I found them in my planner. I guess it’s not helping me organise my life as much as I’d hoped.

* I’ve lived near the lake all my life but I can’t waterski. Tubing I’m awesome at though.

* I’ve only recently started drinking herbal tea, and now I want to try all the different kinds.

* I’ve really gotten into skincare lately, especially for my face. I’ve found that you don’t need expensive products to get good results either. Thank you Bodyshop and Lush!* I keep adding places to my “list of places I want to visit” because I love to read travel and expat blogs. I’m up to about twenty cities right now, yikes.

Jenni’s Questions

1) When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a fashion designer, and even had those stencils of models that you drew out and then drew clothes on them. When I got a little bit older I wanted to be a music producer and actually held onto this until my first year of college.

2) Do you collect anything? If so, what?

Paper. A ridiculous amount of paper. Not just normal paper, like printed patterned card stock paper. I do crafty things with it, but not enough to justify the amount of paper I have. That stuff’s expensive so when I see some nice patterns on sale I snap it up. It’s an addiction.

3) What song are you loving right now?

Pharrell “Happy”. Can’t get enough of it, I’d play it on repeat all the time if I could.

Selena’s questions

4) What are your top 5 travel destinations that you haven’t been to?
Greece, Africa, Thailand, Alaska, Netherlands.

5) What traits have you inherited from your parents?

My Dad’s stubbornness for sure. From my Mom I get my mischievous side as we can both be a little much sometimes, in the best and most fun way possible, and her legs, thanks mom for giving me nice legs.

6) What is your favorite cocktail?

Margarita, on the rocks not frozen. With plenty of salt around the rim.

7) If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be?

* Unlimited free flights to wherever I wanted to go for the rest of my life for me and whoever I nominated.

* To have a career that I’m passionate about and incredibly happy in.

* World peace (because seriously, you gotta, and the world would be a much nicer place)

*****

Pristine’s questions

8) Why did you choose your blog name?

Chicadeedee is one of my many nicknames, that I think my Aunt Amy started. It was either that or Deedlejuice which is what my mom calls me.

9) Would you rather spend your life in the pocket of a sweaty giant or in his shower drain?
I laughed so hard when I read this question and instantly thought, pocket. Definitely pocket. In the pocket you at least have some fabric separating you, if you were in the drain allll the nastiness from that giant would be washed upon you. Plus, I’ve seen the inside of our shower drain, a pocket is way prettier.

10) What is your dream job?
I don’t really know. Maybe if I wished for it when I got my three wishes I’d find out. I just want to be happy and feel like I’m contributing something.

11) Flats or heels?
Heels to look at, flats to wear. I have a slight shoe obsession but have been quite good the last couple of years in limiting my shoe buying ways. I tend to go for more practical heels I’ll get some wear out of now rather than the beautiful sky high ones I might only wear a handful of times. When I get my dream shoe wardrobe though this might change.PHEW! If you made it through all that, I commend you. I’m supposed to come up with 11 more questions and nominate people, but since I pick and chose from these lovely ladies awesome questions, I’d love it if any of you who read here answer the same ones I did, and I nominate you all! Let me know if you answer them so I can see.
