Finally figured out how the whole Liebster thing works! Rose was nominated by three people and gave instructions before she did it, so now I know! Yay!
So, I was nominated for the award twice, and, basically, I have to answer 22 questions
First, Rose's questions. Oh, here's the link to her blog kisses-rose.blogspot.ie
Question 1: What is your favorite season?
Fall, all the way. I just love the colors and the weather!
Question 2: What was your least favorite age to be?
Hmm... tough one. I would probably say nine, because I felt like
I had to be a double-digit number to be important.
Question 3: If you could learn a new language, what would it be?
I'm already learning Spanish and Latin, so I would say... French.
Question 4: What shop do you buy most of your clothes from?
Definitely Kohls. No debate.
Question 5: What's your favorite board game?
Monopoly. If someone in my family says, 'let's have game night',
we're probably gonna take out the Monopoly board.
Question 6: Why do you blog?
I blog because I like to know that other people might be
reading and enjoying what I'm creating on screen, and because it's like
I have BFFs who will listen to me as I pour my day out.
Question 7: What was the first thing you did this morning when you woke up?
Sat and wondered what I would blog about...
Question 8: What was the best holiday you ever went on?
Christmas, last year. I felt better about myself than I
usually do at Christmas time because, for once, I actually bought presents for my family instead of just receiving them.
Question 9: If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?
Disney... that's not so bad is it?
Question 10: Do you have any pets?
Yes, I have a standard poodle named Stella, and a
petite tabby cat named Daisy.
Question 11: Do you play any sports?
I used to do swimming, Kung Fu, basketball, ballet,
horseback riding, soccerball, scouts, and gymnastics. Now I just do ballet...
Okay, time for Liv Hudd's. Here's the link to her blog, check it out, it's great! livsbeautyandfashionblog.blogspot.com
Question 1: Who is your favorite blogger and why?
Rose, because she is extremely interesting, sweet,
and then there's the fact that she was the first person to
discover my blog.
Question 2: Do you watch youtubers, if so, which are your favorite?
I do watch youtubers: MylifeasEva, Zoella, DailyYou,
Grace Helbig, Jenna Marbles, Tyler Oakley, Tiffany Alvord,
Alyson Stoner, Tyler Ward, and I won't complete the list...
Question 3: Do you have any pets?
My cat, Daisy, who is three years old, and my dog, Stella,
who is only eight months old.
Question 4: Favorite song at the moment?
Pieces by Ella Henderson.
OH NO YOU CAN'T FAKE LOVE!
IT'S NOT A GAME YOU PLAY!
YOU'VE BEEN THERE FROM THE START!
THIS STARTS TO END TODAY!
TONIGHT I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU UP!
I'M UP AND OUT THIS PLACE!
SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU CAN'T GET ME!
O-OHH WHOA-OA-OA
Question 5: What show did you watch all the time as a kid?
Er... anything on PBS Kids...
Question 6: Favorite time of the year (Easter, birthday, Christmas, etc.)?
Probably my birthday...
Question 7: First thing you do in the morning?
Get up and dressed.
Question 8: Favorite treat to have?
These little suckers called Chupa Chups. Delicious...
Question 9: Where would you love to visit on a holiday?
Paris, France. I know it's stereotypical, but I really
would love to go there, even if not on a holiday.
Question 10: Worst habit?
Not reading any of the thirty-seven books
I most likely got for a holiday present until about a year later.
Question 11: Why do you blog?
Because I failed at keeping a journal
and this was my second choice!

FUN WITH FACTS!
Word of the Day: Heterogenous. I actually don't know what this means...
Song of the Day: Pieces - Ella Henderson (whooa-oa-oa!)
Random Fact:
The area encircling the Pacific Ocean is called the "Ring of Fire," because its edges mark a circle of high volcanic and seismic activity (earthquakes). Most of the active volcanoes on Earth are located on this circumference. [That's just great. Great.]
Random Fact About Me: I had such a late night last night, and such a LONG day today, that, although this was originally yesterday's second post, I'm redoing it so that this is actually Tuesday's post. I know it's lame, but. But. You know.
Today's Prophecy: I won't actually wear the piece of jewelry that I thought I would tomorrow. IDK! It's random, guys!
I love you all incredibly! Thank you, Rose and Liv, for nominating me! *forms heart shape with hands* Good-bye!

AGGHHH. MONDAYZZZ.
Well, we couldn't escape it forever. Yes, it is the start of a new week, which means you have to wait for five days before you get life again.
I know, sucks right?
So, yesterday, I actually went to Kohls with my mom, and I got some jewelry and a really cute vest for the summer, so I'm going to show them to you!
Here's the first one, a bracelet:
This is a beautiful bracelet that is, like... wow. I'm actually wearing it today, I love it so much! It's amazing and goes with most every outfit I have, and it looks great casually and formally!
It's not a clasp bracelet, if you were wondering, it's one of those bracelets that has clear elastic so that it can fit on anyone's arm.
I love how shiny and black it is, and the detail is very nice. On the inside of each of the shiny black stone-things is this teeny pattern. Nothing exquisite, just several lines going outward so it looks like it's shining.
I <3 everything about it, and I actually think I'm wearing it tomorrow, too! And the next day...
This bracelet is literally a different color version of that one! TWINNING!
The lighting distorted the color a bit, making it look purple, but it's actually an extremely vivid, bright red.
You can't wear it with as many outfits as you can the black one, but, black goes with everything, so, there's that.
I told you my favorite color is red, so I loved this when I first saw it. I still do, I mean, it's not like I lost the love...
You know I love you guys, right? You know that?
LOVE IS A ROSE, BUT YOU BETTER NOT PICK IT!
ONLY GROWS WHEN IT'S ON THE VINE!
HANDFUL OF THORNS AND YOU KNOW YOU'VE MISSED IT,
LOSE THE LOVE, WHEN YOU SAY THE WORD 'MINE'!
If you don't know that song, it's fine, it's an older one. Oh, maybe tomorrow's post will be about older stuff/songs. I happen to know a lot of those...
Next are a few necklaces that actually came in a set. I <3 them, OMG.
Let me tell you that none of these are real jewelry, they're all cheap. But I got it because I loved the set of them, and I'd been looking for this type of jewelry for a little while.
This one is my second favorite, and it's sooo pretty to wear. I like how it's gold (color, duh, it's not real gold) with that royal blue color in the center, and I like how the gold stuff spreads spreads out, making it look like a bird (am I crazy?) with wings (Yeah, I'm crazy. Who adds on the evident, for-dummies fact that birds have wings? MEEEEEE!).
I'm actually wearing this tomorrow, so... we'll see if my love holds up under the pressure...
#wear&tear
This is another necklace...
I
'm sorry that it's such a very, very small image, but the camera couldn't get a closeup without cutting out the back parts of the necklace.
I love this little guy. It's a pink, beaded necklace with little, gold (again, not really gold) beads towards the front, with a teeny little center bead that looks like a little gold coin.
I'M RICH! TELL THE PEOPLE I'M RICH!!! TIME FOR THAT FERRARI!!! MOMMA'S COMING TO TAKE YOU FOR A DRIVE!!!
LOL, no. I'm not rich, first of all, the necklace isn't even gold. Second of all, I wouldn't tell people to tell the people that I was rich. I would tell my parents and relatives and maybe one friend, but I wouldn't want to let people know, I'd get robbed! Third of all, I don't actually want a Ferrari. I don't even have a license yet!
Oh, and fourth of all, I'm sorry if that was a little creepy...
This is my favorite necklace, I think you'll love it, too, it's so freaking cute!
LOOK AT THAT!!! CAN YOU TELL ME THAT'S NOT FREAKING ADORABLE?
No, you probably can't.
I love it so much, it's different than any necklace I've had before, because most are actually pendants. This is not what you would consider a pendant...
Oh, if you're wondering exactly what size it is, it's most likely the size of your pointer finger. I'm saying that based on the fact that I'm a medium size, and it's about as big as my finger.
But I love this, and I'm probably gonna find ways to wear it casually, even though it doesn't look that casual...
This is what you do when you're in love, people, you find a way!
This last thing is actually not jewelry. It's that gorgeous summer vest I told you about.
I tried to show you the front and the back, but I don't think you can see the back that well with the lighting. I'll show you a better picture sometime, but for now, let me just tell you that it's lacey and flowery, in a triangle shape that goes onto the shoulders.
It's a bit big, but not big as in you notice it, big as in it's not the perfect fit comfort-wise. But I got it in the adult section, and I'm not an adult, so... there's that.
It's really light and summery, though, and it's extremely formal, or extremely casual depending on what you wear it with. LLLLOOOOOVVVVEEE!
FUN WITH FACTS TIME!
Word of the Day: Promulgate. You'd be surprised how simple it is.
Song of the Day: Love Is A Rose - Neil Young. My family listens to him a looottt, and we actually went to a concert of his when we were younger! He's really good...
Random Fact: Like air, water expands as it gets warmer and as a result becomes less dense. Water is most dense at temperatures near freezing. When waterfreezes, however, it expands, becoming less dense. If equal volumes ofcold water (down to 4deg.C, 39.2deg.F) and hot water are compared,cold water weighs more than hot water. [I got everything but the stuff in parentheses...]
Random Fact About Me: I got up at 3:45 to start writing this. Crazy, I know...
Today's Prophecy: At the end of the day tomorrow, I will be exhausted. Wild guess, I dunno...
I'm so happy you guys came to read my little blog, and I love you so much! I would love to hear what you have to say about my posts, and I'll definitely check out your blog if you have one!
Shout out to Rose (she's another blogger, and she's amazing), thanks for coming to my blog, and actually reading my other one! Also, shout out to Liv Hudd, thanks for commenting, and nominating me for the Liebster tag award, as Rose did.
I feel so dumb, but I still don't quite understand what it is. I've done some research, but different sources say somewhat different things, and the rules are a bit confusing. I'll try to find out more, and if you can explain it to me, I'd love the help!
Love you all, hearts and kisses! And chocolates! And nail polish! And goodies like that!
