Liebster Award

Hello little lovies, how has your weekend been? I've been sick with upper respiratory crud, but it hasn't been that bad staying home and relaxing at home with the hubbs. 

Christy over at monkeys and twinkle stars nominated me for the Liebster Award.  I, like most of you, was not sure what this was. So I googled...apparently it's for us bloggers with less than 200 followers to encourage us to keep blogging. okayyyy I accept. AND it's FUN! 

 The rules are simple

1. I will list 11 things about myself.
2. I will answer 11 questions that Christy prepared for me
3. I will nominate 11 others.

Ready, Set, GO!

1. I'm naturally blonde. I've dyed my hair dark brown for the past 6 years and I'm slowly going back to my natural color.
2. My husband and I had the same last name before we got married. I didn't have to go through with all that name changing crap. No, we're not related.  
3. I clean my ears with Q-tips twice a day. I can't stand to feel wax in my ears.
4. I really love to run, but sometimes I fall out of it when I get too busy.
5. I'm extremely OCD about a schedule. Not really about time, just checking things off a list.
6. I have an unhealthy obsession with Nick Carter. Yes, he's still around. Yes, I'm probably the only woman that knows that. 
7. I love vegetables.  I can't think of one that I have ever squishy faced after eating it. My husband does not love them. Dinner time is hard over here.
8. I make lists for everything. 
9. I drink cold water when I eat chocolate. 
10. I've always had a passion for photography, crafting, and baking. 
11. I'm an Apple product snob. 

Christy's Questions

So, I'll just tell you 3 and you can ponder them yourself :)  Tip #1. Do not use a tanning bed Tip #2. You don't have to wash our hair every day (shocker, I said it!) and Tip #3. Develop a skin care regime
