The Liebster Award!



Hey guys, and welcome back to another blog post! I'm so sorry that I didn't post last week, but I was super busy with an athletics competition and I honestly could not squeeze anything else into my weekend. But I'm posting this now, and there will be another post this weekend to get my posting schedule back on track.



So last week on Friday, I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Zoe from https://kindaoutofthisworld.wordpress.com/  (@kindaoutofthisworldblog on Instagram). Thank you so much for the nomination, I hope your blog is doing well! Below this I'm going to post the rules, answers and my own questions! 


Rules

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link their blog.

2. Answer the questions given by the nominator.

3. Nominate 11 other bloggers who have less than 200 followers and tag them. (It's okay if they have more followers ;) )

4. Notify all the bloggers you nominate.

5. Create 11 new questions for your nominees to answer.


Answers to my Questions!

Q1: What inspired you to start blogging?
A: For a while I've wanted to start a blog, but I never told anyone because I was kinda embarrassed! I've always thought it looked fun and interesting, something different to try out so I finally decided to stop being a wuss and create a blog! 

Q2: Favourite clothing item?
A: This is too tricky!!! I have so many amazing clothes that I love to pieces. But my absolute favourites would have to be my black and white polka-dotted skirt from Trendez and my black and white play-suit from somewhere online... (I can't remember sorry!)

Q3: Who is your biggest idol?
A: I have two people who I really look up to. The first one is Zoella. For about a year now I've been watching her YouTube channel, and honestly she is just so perfect! She's pretty, successful, relatable and bubbly, and is so strong considering the amount of hate she gets. My other role model is  Dr Chris Brown from Bondi Vet. This might seem a bit strange to some of you, but let me explain! He's a vet, got his own T.V show, books out, everything that I'd love to be. Vet, actor and author- What a life, ay?

Q4: Lollies or Chocolate?
A: Chocolate, definitely. Chocaholic right here!

Q5: What is your favourite brand?
A: This is another extremely tricky question, but I think I'm going to have to go with Vans, Dr Martens, Lush and Boohoo.

Q6: If you could promote one brand, who would you promote?
A: Nooooo! Too tricky! Hmm... I think Boohoo would be the brand I'd like to promote, because I love all of their clothing, shoes and jewelry.

Q7:  What do you like in a friend?
A: I like someone who's funny, nice and reliable!

Q8: Who is one person you want to meet?
A: I want to meet so many people! But I'd say Zoella is at the top of my list.

Q9: Favourite outfit?
A: If it's a play-suit, I love it! I currently only have three, but I would love to have more c:

Q10: Favourite subject at school?
A: I have two- P.E and English. I love P.E because we do fun activites and I like English because I enjoy writing and spelling and things like that.

Q11: Favourite food?
A: This took me a while to answer... but I think I'm going to go with French Toast. Absolutely delicious <3

My Trip to the U.K

Milo, my cousins little dog ft. my sister's ear...


Hi guys, and welcome back to my blog! I'm being a little bit naughty right now- I'm supposed to be writing an essay, not blogging, but all writing is good writing, right? This post is going to be about my trip to the U.K last year in August. I hope you enjoy x

               

One of my favourite places we went was the caravan park by the beach. My grandparents own quite a big caravan, and it stays at a really nice place. It was quite windy and cold, but had some beautiful photography opportunities. Above this small blurb are two examples of the stunning beach.



Some more examples of the beautiful photography points. Ireland is filled with beautiful hills and beaches. It reminds me a lot of New Zealand actually! 


Another thing Ireland had lots of were sayings in Gaelic. I'm not sure what these ones mean, but if I ever find out I'll be sure to post it! I especially like the one on the left, even though the inscription is a bit small!



The K Club was definitely one of the highlights of the trip! We went there for my sister's wedding and OMG was it amazing! The food, the grounds, the rooms, everything was perfect.


Paris was a dream come true! We only had enough time to visit the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland, but boy am I glad we did! I got a super cute bag and a mini Eiffel Tower from the shop, and two figurines from Disneyland, as well as some Minnie Mouse ears! 


Oh. My. Goodness. Nothing beats French food. Or more specifically, DisneyLandEurope food. The picture on the left is of the world's most amazing crepe's. I had never tasted a crepe before, so this just absolutely blew me away! I can't remember how many of these I ate- but it was a lot. The picture on the right is of the cutest little MICKEY MOUSE PIZZA! I got so excited when I saw this on the menu, and I couldn't possibly order anything else. All the food was super, duper good!


These are going to be the last two pictures for today. Disneyland was just amazing- everything from the food (obviously) to the rides was super fun and exciting, and I would definitely go back there anytime. 


I hope you enjoyed this week's post, and didn't get too bored with all the photos and stuff! Just thought I'd mention, there is a lot that I didn't mention that I did, like go to London and Scotland, but I feel as if this blog post has been long enough already! If you have any questions just ask in the comments, or over on the Instagram account @sweetashoneyblog and I will get back to you asap!

Once again, I hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll see you guys again next week for another blog post!

PS. I'm now going to leave you with a cute picture of Olaf from the Disneyland parade!
