...my first Blog Nomination - #LiebsterAward

Earlier today, a little Twitter notification popped up to inform me that the lovely Carina has nominated me and this blog for the #LiebsterAward.  This was one my highlights for the day as I never expected my blog to nominated for anything!

Carina has a lovely blog and I'd be delighted if you went over to show her some love - you can find her and her blog RIGHT HERE!

What is the Liebster Award? 

This award is given from one blogger to another and it appears to help bloggers to spread the love for their fellow bloggers (especially bloggers who are new to the community, like myself) 

What are the rules? 

There seem to be different rules depending on who has nominated. Here are the rules that Carina used in her blog post, it makes sense for me to use the same ones, I guess! 

• Thank the person who nominated you and link them
• Answer the 11 questions that were created for you by the person who nominated you
• Nominate small blogs that you love, deserve the award and have less that 200 followers
• Create a new set of 11 questions for the people you have nominated and notify them via social media or their blog.

Carina's Questions & My Answers

 1. What languages do you speak? 

 I'm embarrassed to say that I can only speak English fluently. I can speak basic French and German but only the the things that they teach you at school =[ not a lot else. *note to self, learn another language*

2. How did you come up with the name for your blog?

I was trying to think of a name that suited my content. I knew that I just wanted to write about things that were happening in my life, things I was enjoying and issues that I felt passionate about. After wrecking my brain for a while, I realised that I wanted my content to be an insight into my life and experiences and that's when 'A Little Insight Into' was born.

3. Name the top three places on your travel bucket list. 

Oooooh, this is a tough one! I'd say the...
West Coast of the USA - I've always wanted to drive from San Diego to Washington.
Hobbiton in New Zealand - I am a HUGE fan of The Hobbit & LOTR. The closest I've got so far is giving my friend my LOTR leggings to wear on her trip there

Mexico for Dia De Muertos (Day of the Dead) - It sounds a lot more terrifying and gross than it is. If you don't know about it, it is a Mexican Holiday where family and friends honour their deceased loved ones. I think that it's really nice that there is a holiday for people to share stories and celebrate the lives of lost ones.

4. Most inspiring bloggers?

I'd say that the bloggers that I get most of my inspiration from are Emmie from Carpe Diem Emmie & Elsie Larson & Emma Chapman from A Beautiful Mess

5. Have you ever been involved in guest posting and would you like to be in the future? 

I haven't guest posted before but I'd love to in the future.

6. Do you ever want kids?

Yes, I'd love to have kids one day <3

7. And what about pets? 

Well I currently have 2 cats and I love them dearly. However, I would like a dog and a pygmy hedgehog at some point in my life.

8. Do you have any networking tips for new bloggers? 

Being a new blogger, I don't really have a lot of advice as i'm still learning about this! I have recently been getting involved in a few bloggers twitter chats and have loved them. They are a great way to meet other bloggers and discuss topics that relate to different aspects of the blogging community.

9. Do you use Facebook for networking/spreading your blog? and how? 

I do! My blog is rather new and I took a deep breath and shared my blog on Facebook for the first time. I got a great response and now share when I've published a new post.

10. Favourite Movies? 

My most favourite movie of ALL TIME is The Nightmare Before Christmas. It has been my favourite film since I was a kid and it always will be. After that comes the Lord of the Rings (all 3)

11. How did your friends react when you told them you've started blogging? 

I'm not too sure how many of my friends know! I haven't told a lot of people but after sharing it on Facebook, I'm sure a lot of them know about it. Up until now, I haven't received any negative comments so I guess they like it or don't care hah!
