I woke up this morning to a comment from Caffeine and Colour (http://caffeineandcolour.wordpress.com) nominating Lil’ old Ooh La La for three blog awards:

The Versatile Blogger Award
The Very Inspiring Blogger Award
One Lovely Blog Award

I was flabbergasted that not only had someone taken the time to read and comment on my blog, but that they were nominating it for these awards – I felt touched! Being so new in the blogosphere (oohlala is only just over a week old!), I did a spot of googling to find out the origins and rules of the awards.

The Rules for accepting the Award(s):

Thank and link back to the awesome person who nominated you.
Share 7 things about yourself.
Nominate 15 other bloggers and comment on their blogs to let them know

So thank you Caffeine and Colour, you have made my week!

7 random facts about myself:

1. I believe that everything that happens, happens for a reason. even if it is not evident at the time.

2. My Nan awoke a passion in me to write when i was tiny.

3. I have only ever wanted to be a teacher – I am doing my dream job.

4. My life motto is: “don’t worry about today, it will soon be yesterday.”

5. I would like to be able to step into pictures and see what the past would’ve been like.

6. I have a huge nail polish addiction (but that was obvious, right?!)

7. I am so grateful for my family. I am so forever thankful that although I didnt chose them, I got the best.

Now for my nominations. I have looked at many, many nail blogs in the past, before starting my own. So I have a few to chose from! I do not know if any of my nominations have already received the awards, so if you have, I am sorry! I just think your blogs are awesome and you are very inspiring! You inspired me to start my blog :) They are mainy polish, beauty and fashion blogs, as that is my passion. This is a great way to find new blogs.
