Happy Saturday friends!

This was a particularly sweet morning for me as when I checked my emails I saw I had been nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by the lovely Andrea from Mostly Happenstance! 

'Liebster' is the German translation of 'love' or 'favorite'.

There is no board committee for this award~ it is an opportunity for bloggers to highlight their favorite  up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

Like a big ol' bloggy hug or interwebbin' high-five from one blogger to another ^^

Here are the rules for this award:

1. List 11 facts about yourself.

2. Answer the 11 questions given to you.

3. Create 11 new questions for the bloggers you nominate for the award.

4. Choose 11 bloggers with 200 or less followers to nominate.

5. Go to each bloggers page and let them know about the award.

6. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.

11 facts about me

On my birth certificate I am 'Frances Louise' but I've been called 'Louise' my whole life. I kinda like the idea of being a 'Frankie' though. Future pen name?

Please, don't touch my feet.

I worked as a paid extra in a Bollywood movie while travelling in India.

My favorite smells in the whole world are basil and coconut.

I hate awkward silences and am horribly unable to edit myself during them. I'll tell you my whole back-story just to keep that dreaded silence at bay.

If you don't have a beard you have no chance with me.

My secret dream jobs would be either to work as a Nutritional Therapist or a Children's novelist. Or both!

I've travelled to over 15 different countries and counting.

I'm a certified trained yoga instructor.

I love tattoos. I only have one but I think girls who have sleeves and chest pieces are beautiful and wish I were brave/edgy enough to pull them off on myself.

A lot of my favorite books, movies and singers are French.

Andrea's Q & A

1. Which multiplication equation do you have trouble with?

Just about all of them. I'm horrible at math!

2. How old were you when stopped believing in Santa {or tooth fairy if Christmas isn't your thing}?

My school Priest informed our entire primary school assembly that there was no such thing as Santa Claus. I was 7 and my Mom was outraged.

3. What's your favorite snack?

Avocado on toast.

4. How many states have you lived in?

I'm British so not sure this applies to me!

I've lived in 3 different countries though~ England, Ireland and South Korea.

5. Do you have any pets? If so, how many?

Not right now but once I'm settled I plan on a house filled with belly-scootin babies and puppy paw prints.

6. Can you do a handstand?

I can do a yoga head stand but it's been a while!

7. What's your favorite Disney movie?

'Return to Oz'

8. What's the best birthday present you've ever received?

A weekend in Paris.

9. Have you ever been on a cruise? What's your favorite place to cruise to?

I have never been on cruise.

I'm trying hard not to insert a cringe-y 'cruisin' pun here ^.^

10. What's your favorite book?

I couldn't possibly choose one.

Oh alright then, for the purposes of the game 'Sexing the Cherry' by Jeannette Winterson

11. Do you use 'lol' or 'haha' in texts?

I'm more of a creepy "heh heh heh"-er
