π Liebster Award Winner π
Asalam u alaiqum(peace be upon you) Beautiful people!
In the past week, I have been nominated for the Liebster Award. This small acknowledgement meant so much to me, because as a blogger encourage me to want to keep on going on this wonderful journey, though I am still new, learning and growing in this blogging world. With the time I have had I meet some wonderful bloggers. This award allows acknowledging their work, which is why I am most excited to accept this.
We have always taught that it is the thought that counts and for me this is huge. When the wonderful lady Geet was kind enough to think and nominate me for this Liebster award. That is huge that I was one of five bloggers she thought of. It was an amazing surprise and I am seriously chuffed to bits. Must check out her blog at getalongwithgeet and follow her on Twitter @getalongwith_me she is very friendly. You always will be my first twitter friend. Thank you once again x! This post is going to be long because it is my first blog award and I want it to be special. This came at the perfect time. I am so grateful. The rules are that you answer the questions asked of you by the Blogger who gave you this award. This can be pretty challenging but fun to get to know each other better in the blog community and I am definitely up for it!
(In the end I will explain to those who do not know what Liebster Award really is, so be relaxed and keep reading)
Here are Geet five questions...
Who inspired you to start writing?
When I was 14 years old, I started writing my diary. The things I could not share with anyone else I shared with my diary. If someone read my notes they probably saw them dancing around on a piece of paper because it did not make any sense ha-ha. Honestly, my English is not great but I do try my best to make people understand me. To cut this short I think loneliness inspired me to start writing again. There were many thoughts in my head. One night to get away from them I started converting into quotes. Next morning I upload on Instagram where some lovely people liking it and giving me direct messages if they can copy or share. This encourages me more and I started this blogger site to share my thoughts and many more.
Describe your blog in three words?
Ok my dear! Three words is a thinker. My blog originally started to share my Inspirational thoughts as I learned to do things but in recent months it has become my go-to place for posting about the things. It is about Life, fashion and motivation.
What is your favourite thing to on a holiday?
A family who travels together is everlasting memory for me but due to my husband work schedules, now it is hard to go out of the country much. Therefore, we make our weekends the best holiday. One take out, list of movies and baked cake is on our table but nothing beats a long drive at night in PJ's, not knowing where we going to end up.
What is the one thing which cheers you up?
I may not be such a cheerful person, but I definitely cannot remain in a truly bad mood when I am thinking of creating something and what touches me the most is that when it is right in front of me.
Name few people you love following on twitter?
To be honest I was not a big fan of twitter but recently am liking it (lets see how long that last ha-ha) I have found and come across with so many lovely people (hint hint you know who you are) There are loads now but writing over here will take hours to finish but I can mention those who I like following from the moment I started using this app are:
I would like to mention few more who approach me with their lovely messages and it really helped me to start connecting and sharing with other bloggers and YouTubers. Make sure to follow them and get along on a fun ride.
