One Lovely Blog Award



I am seriously so honored every time someone nominates me for one of these awards! I've been bad at getting around to them though, so I thought it was time that changed.


First of all, I'd like to thank those who nominated me:

 The Pyreflies - Geeky fashion, inspiration and lifestyle - Jessica is an awesome blogger who unabashedly writes on all things geeky and lifestyle. Her blog is a blast!

 Lorliee's Adventures - Lorilee has a lovely blog full of posts on travel, food, fashion and photography!

The rules of the award:
1. Thank the person nominating you and link back to them in your post
2. Share seven things about yourself

Seven Facts About Me:
1. I once performed at a SF 49ers halftime show dancing Tahitian!
2. I have EU citizenship & can't wait to visit Europe one day
3. I love learning languages: I've taken every Spanish language class at UCLA, 5 years of Japanese, and 1 year each of French and Italian.
4. I love photography. I would love to get a DSLR for my camera!
5. I can't eat cereal unless every piece has been submerged under the milk. So weird, right? :P
6. I've lived in Boston for about a year, but I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA
7. I'm a dog person, and hope to get a dog one day


Hope you enjoyed these facts about me!

    Thanks for nominating me Chelsea! Wow, that's so cool that you have taken so many languages. That is one thing I wish I knew how to do is speak multiple languages. I hope that you get a dog one day too...being a dog owner can be expensive but the unconditional love you get from them is priceless!

    Of course Carli! I mean, your blog is about puppies and polka dots. It really doesn't get much cuter than that :)

    Of course! My roommate just started taking a language too so it's never too late! I could see a dog getting expensive, but I know it would be worth it. One day! :)

    Not everyone has the same luck as me. I have a french bulldog that has a ton of allergies. But most dogs don't have the same amount of issues as him.

    Of course! Hahah I think Spanish was tough because they hype it up to be so easy when really learning a language is never easy!

    Congrats on the blog award! Thanks so much for visiting my blog as well :) I am from Boston, so your pics definitely make me home sick. I've been to San Fran and I would totally live there if they moved the city to the East Coast LOL..I love it there, just too far away from my family. I envy your language skills! Are you fluent in them all?

    Such a fun and awesome award! Congratulations on receiving it, and thank you for nominating me for it! I'm excited to post about it (hopefully on Monday)! :) It's so cool that you've been learning Japanese, it always seems like it would be a hard language to learn. From watching anime I know how to say 'thank you' and 'damn it' and that is all. Very useful, haha. I'm the same way with cereal, too. I normally pour the milk in the bowl until there is a thin layer of milk above the cereal, and any little bits that try to float away immediately get submerged by my spoon. :) Thanks again, and happy Friday!
