Liebster awards ❤

A little while back I was nominated by the lovely Dany and Laura for the liebster award. Thank you so much for nominating me girls, it always makes me so happy to get something like that! And I also think the whole thing about the liebster award is such an amazing idea! I have done a post about the award before where I tag 11 people and all those things, you can read that here. In this post I am going to answer the questions from Dany and Laura, and btw, you should definitely check out both of their blogs, they're amazing! 




Dany's questions

1. If you could go back in time, would you choose a specific era in History? if so, which one and why?
This is kind of a hard question. It would be really fun to go back to around the turn of the 19th century (from the time of Pride and Prejudice and all that). With all the fun dresses and dances and all that. But at the same time there are a lot of things about that time that I don't think I would like too much. So I would definitely like to visit that time for a while, but I am pretty happy with the time I live in right now. 

2. What do you like to do on a Sunday evening?
I am pretty boring so  I really like to just relax on a Sunday evening. Maybe catch up in some youtube videos and blogs. Maybe watch a movie or do some stuff that I haven't had time to do earlier in the week. 

3. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
I would LOVE to be able to be at any place at any given time. Like apparating in the Harry Potter books. That would just be amazing! 

4. What do you like the most about blogging?
I like that I actually get in contact with people and get to know people that I otherwise would never have met. I think the blogger community is such an amazing community where everybody encourages each other, and I love that. I also really like that I am able to share things I enjoy spending my time on with other people who enjoy the same things. 

5. Name two of your life goals.
I want to one day be in a steady situation with a loving husband and children, and I also really want to travel a lot and see different cultures. 

6. Do you speak any other languages?
I speak norwegian, english and a tiny, tiny bit of french. 

7. One person, one question. Who and what would it be?
This is another hard one.. I'm not sure. I 'll have to think about it and fill it in later, sorry!

8. What is/was your favorite subject at school?
Biology and geology. I actually liked school in general for the most part so I never really had a subject that I really couldn't stand. 

9.  Is there any movie or book that has changed your life in a significant way?
I don't think so.. I'm trying to think, but I can't really come up with any. I'm sure that if my brain would start working I would probably remember some as I love to read.. 

10. What is your favorite Holiday?
Christmas! Everything about it makes me happy! :)

11. Do you have a quote that you live by?
I don't think I really live by any quotes, but I have three quotes that have really inspired me lately:
 "No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying." 
"Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."
"Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle"
I just think they are really motivational, and they fit perfectly in my life right now. 


Laura's questions:

1. One make-up for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
Mascara

2. Favourite item of clothing
Right now I have to say my new sweater from H&M which I showed in my spring haul.

3. What inspires your blog posts?
Other people's blogs, youtube, pinterest and just everyday events and things I love. I get my inspiration from a lot of different places. 

4. What's your favourite High Street clothes store?
H&M. I don't know if that counts as a high street store, but I think it does..?

5. What was the last piece of jewelry you purchased?
I can't even remember.. I think it was a necklace from H&M before Christmas. 

6. Where are you from?
I'm from Norway

7.  Heels or flats?
Flats

8. What is your favourite perfume?
DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom right now. 

9. Dream job?
I don't really know, and it has been a challenge for me over the past years. Right now I would probably say maybe clinical nutritionist because I have been really interested in that field lately. I am studying biology with additional math though, and I think I am going to enjoy something in that field as well. At least I definitely hope so!

10. Why did you start blogging?
It was something that I'd been wanting to do for a while and one day I just decided to do it. And a lot of the reasons are the ones in question 4 from Dany ;)

11. Do you have a middle name?
I really wish I did, but sadly I don't.. 

So those were all the questions. I hope you found this somewhat interesting. If you want to share some of your answers to any of these questions, please do below. And again, thank you so much for nominating me!

Liebster Awards

First of all; Hayyp Valentine's Day everybody. I hope you all are spending the day with someone you love, whomever that might be! <3

Recently I've been nominated for two Liebster Awards, by the lovely Emily and Rosa. Thank you so much both of you! They have wonderful blogs, so you should definitely go an check them out!
The Liebster Award is an award going around where people nominate other up and coming bloggers who have 200 or less followers. I think this is such a great idea to let people know about other good blogs out there! Obviously I haven't gotten around to doing the post yet, so I though I would combine the two and do it now.



The rules are
1. Each person must post 11 things about themselves
2. Answer the questions that the tagger set for you
3. Create 11 questions for the people you've tagged to answer
4. Go to their page and tell them
5. No tag backs

11 facts about me
1. I am at my second year of university studying biology.
2. I live with my boyfriend in our own little apartment, which I love.
3. I would rather have a cozy night in with my friends or bf than go out.
4. I love to read, but after I started university I pretty much only have time to read for school.
5. I LOVE chocolate, it's can go a bit to the extreme sometimes...
6. I really want to live in the US (at least for a couple of years), and I am so jealous of people who do.
7. If I could bring two american stores to Norway it would be Target and Whole Foods (I could actually make that list way longer, but I wouldn't know how to stop).
8. I love to travel, it is probably the main reason why I can't wait to finish uni and get a proper job.
9. I let my emotions control way too many things in my life.
10. Summer is my favorite season, but February is my favorite month of the year.
11. I've been wanting to start making youtube videos for years because I love film making, photography and editing, but I am also kind of scared to do it as english is not my first language...


Questions
1. What make up item makes you feel most confident?
I have to say concealer, because I have really bad dark circles under my eyes. I would say mascara too though, because I feel like a little bit of mascara just instantly makes me look more awake. 

2. Cats or dogs?
I've always been a dog person and I really want a dog someday. Recently I've been getting more and more into cats too though. I used to be a little scared of them, but I've just been liking them more and more. 

3. How do you pass the time when you're bored?
YouTube, without doubt. I spend way to much time watching youtube videos. And all other sort of social media sited like twitter, facebook etc. And blogger of course. 

4. Optimist or pessimist?
I would mostly say I am a pretty optimistic person. I try to see the good things in pretty much every situation. I am definitely more positive and encouraging when it comes to other people though. 

5. What would you buy right now if you had all the money you wanted?
Probably a house in the States (that's what my boyfriend said, lol). I really want a car to have where we live while we study though, and I've been talking about having an elliptical for probably the past four years so I should buy that too. 

6. What is your "guilty" food?
I already said that I love chocolate, so definitely that. I also love ice cream a LOT. Which is one reason why I love summer. It is just too cold here in the winter to be eating ice cream on a regular basis.

7. What is your favorite TV show?
I actually have a ton. I'm not sure I could pick, so I'm just going to list a few. The vampire diaries, Pretty little liars, Glee, Grey's anatomy and Modern family (a recent obsession)....

8. Where are you from?
I'm from Fredrikstad, Norway. It's about an hour away from Oslo which is the capital of Norway. I'm living pretty far away from there right now, but I hope to move back to that area after uni. 

9. What feature do you find the most attractive in the opposite sex?
Their smile and their eyes. Pretty cliché, but I can't help it. A happy, kind face beats pretty much anything. 

10. What do you think is your best physical feature?
My eyes. I think it is the only thing I can say that I actually really like. I used to wish I had brown eyes, but now I really like my blue ones. 

11. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In ten years I will be 30 (turning 31 very soon). I am hoping to be married by then. I really want to have at least one child before I'm 30, so we'll see how that goes. I also hope to have a steady job that I am happy with. Pretty standard I think..?

Questions for my nominees
1. Where are you from?
2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
3. What's your dream vacation destination?
4. What's a makeup item you can't live without?
