Liebster Award

 
I've seen the Liebster Award on various other blogs and I was lucky enough to be nominated by the lovely Georgia over at Concept of Budd
I'm a nosey sort and I couldn't find the origins of this award and there also appears to be varying rules, but I am going by the following ones:

1. The Liebster Award is given by bloggers to other bloggers who have 200 followers or less.
2. The nominees must link back to the blogger who awarded them. 
3. You must write 11 random facts about yourself and answer the 11 questions from the blogger who nominated you.
4. Make up 11 new questions and nominate 11 other bloggers (don't forget to let them know you have nominated them!)

Right we're off:

My 11 questions from Georgia

Bod.  He/she (not sure which gender it was!) reminds me of my childhood.

Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. (today is not a good day).
If you could only use one makeup product for the rest of your life what would it be?
Oooh this is a toughy and I change my mind all the time, but I think I would have to go with a good tinted moisturiser something like Estee Lauder's Daywear.  My face just looks so much better for it.

Bloglovin' or Twitter for fun but if it is a work day it would be my emails.

Boat propellers.
