Premio Dardos Award

Published by

I’m ridiculously behind, and absolutely need to catch up, on award posts – so today will be another one. About a month ago (on the 10th of March, to be exact) I was nominated for the Premio Dardos award by Jenna from Julla. If you still don’t know who she is, go check out her blog now and show her some love! Premio Dardos, which apparently means ‘prize darts’ in Spanish and which I’d never heard of before, is awarded ‘in recognition of cultural, ethical, literary and personal values – transmitted in the form of creative and original writing’. Goes without saying that, despite feeling like I don’t quite deserve this, I am hugely honored to receive it. Thanks a million Jenna, for considering me when choosing your nominees! Now, according to the rules, I need to pass this on to 15 fellow bloggers. I’ll start with the ones that I can think of, off the top of my head – and just label this ‘a work in progress’, adding to it as I go …

Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award

Published by

A few weeks back, I was kindly nominated for the Sisterhood of the World, Blogger Award by the lovely Jenna, from Julla. She is a great new, blogging friend and was sweet enough to include me in her list of people who are “sweet, supportive, and generous to their fellow bloggers” and to whom this award is geared towards. Thank you sweetie! If you guys get a minute, you should really go check out her blog – she’s relatively new to the blogosphere and features some lovely posts. And now, without further ado, here’s: The Rules – Thank the blogger who nominated you (linking back to their site) – Answer the 10 questions sent to you – Make up 10 new questions for your nominees to answer – Nominate 7 fellow bloggers, link them in your post & let them know My Answers to Jenna’s Questions 1. What is your favorite TV show? That’s a tough one… I watch (and enjoy) so many! Just because it’s the one I’ve been binge watching lately, I’ll go with “The …

Creative Blogger Award

Published by

On Feb. 22 I was kindly nominated for the Creative Blogger Award, by the lovely Jaanethough from Singapore! First of all I’d like to say ‘THANKS’ – knowing that you girls (& guys) out there enjoy Lifestyle Counter means the world to me! Then I’d also like to apologize for not tackling this sooner. I would hate for that to come across as ungrateful when, in fact, it’s just another side-effect of my – generally – being all over the place. So, without further ado, here goes: The Rules: Nominate 20 other blogs and their links Thank and post the link of the blog that nominated you (very important) Share 5 facts about yourself to your readers Notify all nominees via their social media/blogs Pass these rules on to them My 5 Facts: I’m currently obsessed with “How to Get Away With Murder” and “The Americans”. On that last note, I also have the sneaking suspicion I’m developing a bit of a crush on Matthew Rhys (it’s the eyes I tell you)! I’m absolutely rubbish …

Liebster Love…

Published by

Back in April, I was kindly nominated for a Liebster Award by Polly from the amazing Happily Polly (thanks, sweetie, for enjoying Lifestyle Counter enough to nominate me). Ever since then, not a day has gone by when I didn’t think about how I needed to do this post. That said, I was actually quite daunted by the sheer effort required to adhere to the rules set… which is kind of why it turned (past) mid- May by the time I got around to actually tackling it… Anyhow, let me start by answering the eleven questions posed by Polly: 1. In one sentence, sum up why you blog I started keeping a blog (in the form of a personal diary) back in 2003 as a means of keeping in touch with family/ friends and have stayed the course through the years (albeit with a clear shift of focus) mainly because I find it constitutes a great creative outlet, as well as an opportunity to “meet” and make connections with people from all over the globe. …
