Laine Blogger Award

October 17, 2012

I received the Laine Blogger Award thanks to Menopausal Mother. This award focuses on beauty.  Thanks so much!  I feel honored!  This is my very first blog award.

RULES:
Answer 5 questions about yourself (same ones listed here)
Add award logo in your post and thank the person who gave it to you—link back to them as well
Pass it on to 5 other bloggers and notify them on their blog that they won

5 QUESTIONS/ANSWERS:
1. What is your current beauty obsession?
My current obsession seems to be skincare.  I’ve loved my Sibu Beauty products for a long time and have recently been introduced to Exhale Skincare.  I am also obsessed with sunscreen, especially the natural ones with the physical protection ingredients.

 

2. What is the ONE beauty item you wished you owned? 

Believe it or not, I own everything I need and/or want.  There really isn’t anything  that I am wishing for at this time.  Tomorrow may be another story…

3. What is your favorite topic to read about? 
I love reading memoirs and other true stories.  I also enjoy chick books such as Danielle Steel (I have been reading her books for over 30 years!) and Emily Giffin.  Nothing too serious.  Just fun stuff that is light and makes me smile.

4. What inspired you to become a blogger?
I originally started my blog to do an occasional review or swatch to go along with my YouTube videos.  After many months I realized how big the world of blogging really is.  I now use my blog as a creative outlet to talk about beauty, fashion, life and whatever strikes my fancy.

5. What nail polish are you wearing right now? 
I am wearing OPI Nein, Nein, Nein, Okay Fine on my finger nails.  My toes have a very old pedicure that has peeled off most of my toes.  I have/had Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac with a coat of Sally Hansen Strobe Light on my big toes only.

5 BEAUTIFUL BLOGGERS NOMINATED FOR THE AWARD:

I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand Balle I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand BallereTTe reached out to me a few weeks ago because I knew I’d be in Italy in November and they have a retail store in Venice that I could personally visit.

The brand was born in Rome and is inspired by the style and comfort needs of women. You can see some of their ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers and more in this video.

I tried on several pairs until I found the one that I knew will fit perfectly into my lifestyle. I also made note of a few styles that I will order in the future since they ship worldwide (quickly and for a small shipping fee).🎉

Fun fact - Each flat shoe is named after a district of the eternal city or a historically and culturally significant area. Because the story of @balleretteofficial is deeply rooted in the territory: handcrafted in Italy with leathers carefully selected in Italian factories.

Thank you BallereTTe for your hospitality, the excellent customer service and my new shoes! I love them!!💖

Both of my outfits in this video are extremely comfortable, wrinkle resistant, travel friendly and versatile.

Outfit 1: The Tillie Top and Lolly pants are 2 of my favorite pieces that I often pair together. They both come in solids and some beautiful prints as well as different fabrics.✨

Outfit 2: The Delphine Dress is perfection with its flattering fit. I love the Black and Red Grand Plaid print.

We started with a walking tour of the old town, took a little glass bottom boat ride, had a scrumptious lunch and bought a few souvenirs. It was a great day all around!

Traveling sets my soul on fire. How about you?
