I’m so excited that I received my very first award! I was nominated by the lovely Kasie who runs a wonderful beauty blog. You really need to check it out. Thank you again Kasie, for nominating me!

If you are new to the entire blogging awards system and have no clue what the Liebster Award is, it’s actually an award which is made for meeting and discovering new bloggers. It’s a way of communicating and sharing other blogs with your readers. I think it’s a lovely idea to connect with others from the blogging world.

My 11 Questions From Kasie Were

1. What made you start blogging?

I always enjoyed writing. Especially writing in English although my native language is Swiss German. Blogging I started mainly because a dear friend of mine convinced me to set up a Twitter and an Instagram account. After getting the feeling of social media I tasted blood and wanted more. Therefore, I started blogging and Carina was the one who encouraged me to keep on.

2. What tips would you give for new bloggers or people thinking of starting up a blog?

When you’re thinking about starting your own blog, just do it. Give it a try. The best thing is to start writing about the things you love and don’t focus too much on your potential readers. I’ve written a post about Why You Should Start Blogging in my FebBlogging project.

3. How would you describe your own style and also your blog style?

My own style concerning clothes would probably be mostly casual, sporty and sometimes elegant. My blog style is hard to describe as I don’t pursue one main topic.

4. What do you use to take pictures on your blog?

Mostly I use my Canon 500D and sometimes if I don’t carry it along I use my new phone Samsung Galaxy A3.

5. Do you use social media to promote your blog? If so what’s your favourite?

Yes, I do use Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook. However, my favourite one would definitely be Twitter as the interaction is the biggest there.

6. Do you like to watch YouTube videos and if so who is your favourite channel to subscribed to?

I like watching YouTube videos, but I don’t have one specific type of channels I enjoy. Nevertheless, I do enjoy Hannah Witton’s channel a lot. If you want to know some other YouTube channels I like I’ve written a post about my favourite ones.

7. Apart from blogging what are your other hobbies?

Listening to music, reading and foremost doing sports.

8. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

Making less a fuss about unimportant things. I, unfortunately, tend to overthink every move and action and care too much about what others think,

9. Describe yourself in 3 words

Ham-fisted (I’ll walk into every table, chair or door frame), ambitious and really hyped up when I’m overtired.

10. Favourite makeup brand you can’t live without? (I am a beauty blog after all)

Probably Essence, as they belong to the more low-priced brand.

11. One beauty item you can’t live without?

Concealer to either cover spots or dark circles around the eyes.
