This time I was excited!
To know that another fabulous person thinks you are worthy of The Liebster Award again felt so awesome my heart did little star jumps!!
To know that people still enjoy reading my content 6 months in excites me.
To know that people like your blog and what you have to say so much that they want to others to know too fills me with happiness.
To know that you get a chance to nominate and share blogs you enjoy reading with others makes me smile – because this is what it’s all about.
…and who doesn’t love a good Q & A session?
So, thank-you to Yasmin’s Lifestyle Blog and Dressing Egos for nominating me (a few weeks ago, sorry!)
Thank the blogger who nominated you.
Answer the 11 questions the blogger gives you.
Nominate 5-11 bloggers that you think are deserving of the award.
Let the bloggers know that you nominated them.
Give them 11 questions of your own.
What is/was your favorite subject in school?
That’s easy – English. All I ever wanted to do was read books and write stories.
What is your favorite book?
Ooooh not so easy! Depends what mood I’m in…I absolutely love reading teenage fiction, however I’m reading a lot of biographies of kick ass women at the moment! So, I don’t really have one (hope that’s an acceptable answer?)
Have you voted in any election before?
Yes.
What’s your go-to summer outfit?
A floaty, girly dress with sandals.
If you could only put on one make-up item which would it be?
Tinted moisturiser – I do not have good skin!
If you could travel in any where in the world where would it be?
Probably America as there’s a bit of everything there – beach, mountains, shopping…
Do you prefer a good movie or a few episodes of your favorite show?
Ooooh another tough one…I am really fussy about what I watch on TV (no crap basically!) so if I’m watching a show it’s because I really want to watch it.
Mac or Windows?
Mac definitely!
Fruits or veggies?
Vegetables all the way – fruits are the enemy, they don’t like me at all!!!
Do you have a specific exercise routine?
Nope – just whatever I fancy doing! I do yoga, lift weights, run, dance….
Favorite weekend activity?
Breakfast in a lovely restaurant, shopping and chilling at home – oh that’s 3…
If you had to change your name, what would it be?
Name your best quality.
What foods do you detest and why?
Do you have a favourite number or one that you notice a lot?
What’s your favourite ice cream flavour?
Dogs or cats?
Would you say your glass was half full or half empty?
What is the one piece of advice you wish you had been given before starting a blog?
Where is your favourite place to be?
Have you ever seen a sunset?
Who was the last person you spoke to?
Not quite 11, but I have highlighted or nominated quite a few lovely bloggers lately and this was all I could manage.
Don’t forget to let me know when you post as I can’t wait to get to know you a little better.
If you think someone is doing a great job, or deserving of some praise don’t forget to tell them.
You just might change someone’s day!

Here are my top 5 favourite ideas for keeping those affirmations and mantras in your heart throughout the day.
💛 Without doubt one of my favourite things to do is create my own art by putting postcards in picture frames. It’s inexpensive and so easy to do. This little card is from Paperchase and the frame was from Poundland.
Voila!
💛 I am so happy when I find a piece of jewellery with a positive affirmation on. This little beauty is from Aspire Style and you can choose to personalise it with words of your choice. Following on from my Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful series I had Be Beautiful Be You engraved on my necklace. It’s the perfect reminder every time I look in the mirror – don’t you think?
*And if you quote ‘Shimmer’ on your order – you will receive a 10% discount on any purchase (except sale items) until 31.10.16.
💛 I love putting quotes and wise words on my photographs. I use them as inspiration for my posts and on social media. I love finding the perfect photo to illustrate a beautiful saying. There are plenty of apps you can use – try Phonto or Canva to get you started.
💛 This one maybe a little drastic for some of you. However, I had this done at a particularly low point in my life and I needed something to believe in. I had the line ‘The sun will shine‘ from the Metallica song The Day That Never Comes tattooed on my foot.
💛 I fuel my stationary habit by buying notebooks with wonderful, wise words on them. I picked this little beauty up from The Works for just a few pounds.
So there we have it – a few ways you can use affirmations in your life.
You will be happily reminded to stay positive throughout the day whenever you notice them – who knows, others may start noticing them too.
Remember, you got this and never forget that I think you’re amazing!
