Yay I’m Stylish!

At least Karin thinks so!  It makes me so happy to know that someone enjoys my newbie nails blog!

To formally accept my award I must follow the four rules shown below.

THE RULES:

1. Thank and link back to the person who sent you the award.

2. Share seven things about yourself.

3. Spread the love. Award recently discovered bloggers.

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

That should be simple enough! 

The person who gave me the award is Karin from Karin's Nail Blog.

Three things about myself…

1. I rarely drink anything but water.  People think I’m trying to be cheap when I am out or if I’m visiting they always try to urge me to have something else, but I honestly just like drinking water best.  A lot of other drinks just make me more thirsty than I was to begin with.
2. I wish I could have long beautiful nails but they still break on me all the darn time, it’s so frustrating!
3. My favorite movie series is Anne of Green Gables, I am watching it while I type this.
4. I love turtles, I used to own a lot of them but I had a lack of space and now I only have two.
5. I have two tattoos and 11 piercings, 9 of them are in my ears.
6. I’m a total photography nut. I love taking and editing photos even more than I love nail polish.
7. I wish I enjoyed cooking more than I do, but no matter how much I try it’s just not an interest that has ever grown on me.

The bloggers I’d like to share this award with are:

Nailside – I just LOVE her taped mani’s!!

Beauty by Kayla Shevonne – I am crazy about her nail art.

Shadow's Nail Art – An awesome gal with a great blog, and my very first swap partner!

Home Cooking With Sonya – This isn’t a nail blog but she is my friend and her cooking blog is awesome!

Nail Art Creations – A Dutchie!  Love her blog!

Kreativ Blogger Award–YAY!

Yay Shadow gave me an award!  I’m quite flattered because I know she was being sweet as hardly anyone even knows my blog exists yet. haha  I am highly appreciative, in any case!


Here are the rules: Write 10 facts about yourself. Pass the award to 10 bloggers and tell them about the award

Whew ok 10 things about me…

1. I became obsessed with nails and polish when I was looking for an escape from the stress and emotional turmoil of fertility treatments.  Painting my nails made me feel girlie when my body was making me feel like less of a woman.  Sitting for hours messing with my nails made me happy at a time when not much else did.
2. I hate armpits with a PASSION.  I don’t want anyone looking at mine or showing me theirs.  I am actually physically revolted with them.  My least favorite part of summer is seeing so many people’s armpits and I will actually change the channel when a deodorant add is on TV.
3. I am a big time animal lover.  I own dogs, a cat and turtles. I have also owned a hedgehog, rats and other animals in the past.
4. I am a recovered gamer.  I used to be highly addicted to games like Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies and World of Warcraft.  A lot of my life has been wasted on those games and I wish I’d kicked the habit a lot sooner than I did.
5. In the past 2 years I have lost 80 pounds and am still working on getting off at least another 50 pounds before I am done.
6. I also maintain a personal blog about my life as a Canadian expat in the Netherlands.  It’s called Canadutch.
7. I have been married to the man of my dreams for almost 11 years.
8. I am a TV and movies junkie.  I download up to 400 gigs a month in shows and movies to watch.
9. I can be a big geek.  I love gadgets, the internet, playing with the design code on my blog and all sorts of other geeky crap.
10. I have entered about a million giveaways and I really want to win one!!

I know the deal is that you are supposed to give this to 10 other bloggers, but everyone’s blog that I follow has already done it.  I’m sort of catching the tail end of this trend, I’m afraid. 

SO, I’m going to give it out to you.  Yes you, the person reading this blog.  I’m pretty sure there aren’t more than 10 of you and I really appreciate those of you who do read, so if you are reading this, you have been tagged!!  Please let me know if you do it so I can read the 10 things about you!
