As a newb to the blogging world, I Am absolutely chuffed as cheese to be nominated for this awesome award by the Charming Charnelle Coco Avontuur from In The Loop with Coco beauty blog
The purpose of the Liebster award is to create some exposure for your up and coming bloggers with less than 200 followers.

What was your main struggle when starting up your blog?
Figuring out how to use my iPad *giggle* I’m a pc girl!

Who is your favourite blogger?
I don’t get too much time to read blogs, but when I do it’s usually industry related. Meaning travel. I recently came across this blog by a guy who left his desk job to travel across Africa & not by plane. I totally love it!  www.traveltall.com

Oh wait I have 2, the other is the fabulous Sex in the CT with Manni Bradshaw

What are your blogging goals?

None

It’s like writing in a diary, a very public diary. Be real be you don’t make up false stories, unless you’re a comedian or scriptwriter. Funny thing bout the Internet if you present a fake story or review the truth will always find you out.

    To eradicate stupid / ignorant people and stop them from breeding.
    For mind altering Jedi like mind powers
    Enough wealth to retire tomorrow and pursue all my passions full time

    PC. Mac? Tsk. Get a mouse! 🙂
    Which do you find easier: connecting to people through your blog or connecting with people face to face?
    Face to face.
