The Versatile Blogger Award ¦ Alice Phillips

One of the things I find so amazing about blogging is the recognition that people give to other blogs about their progress and successes, and one of the ways in which they do this is through nominating each other for the awards that get passed around the blogosphere. 

I was lucky enough to be nominated for the Liebster Award a few weeks back, and I was re-nominated (if that's a word?!) yesterday by Beth at lasheslinerlove which was really great, so thankyou! However as I've already done a post for the Liebster award, I'm going to focus on something else!
I'm really chuffed to have also been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Penny at Polka Dot Penny, and so thankful. These things really let you know that there are people out there who read your stuff, and it's also a fabulous opportunity to have a look at new and interesting blogs which you may want to follow!

The rules of the Versatile Blogger Award are as follows:

1) Thank the person who so kindly nominated you for the award, and also post a link to their blog

2) Tell 7 facts about yourself 

3) Select 15 bloggers that you've recently discovered, or that you follow regularly

4) Nominate them for the award and let them know via a blog comment (or social media)

So, the 7 facts about myself:

1) It was my 21st birthday yesterday, which means I pretty much qualify for everything now bar an over 50's price plan

2) I've actually been to university twice, although the first time I chose to leave after just two months, and it's also one of the best things I ever did

3) I write all of the important things that I need to remember on a small whiteboard, and this makes me feel a little bit like a school teacher (it was always fun playing schools when you were younger right? the nostalgia never goes...)

4) I used to have cherry red hair a few years ago, it was AMAZING but I just can't imagine myself with it now

5) I never get 'that friday feeling', working in retail has just ruined the weekend for me forever!

6) Practically all of my shoes are black - boots, pumps, trainers and heels. You name it, there's a black pair. I'm so unadventurous with footwear

7) My favourite thing about blogging is the comments that people leave. Those emails are the only ones that I don't instantly delete, and I find it so encouraging and rewarding that people take the time to read my posts and also let me know about it!
