Liebster award

I must say I was very excited when I saw I was nominated for the Liebster award, thanks to Lauren  @ The Leaux Project !! I had no idea this was a thing! Being a new blogger of about a month it is super exciting when people recognize you. Thanks again, Lauren.

the way the Liebster award works: “after you’re nominated, you create a post over on your blog about the award. First, thank your nominator (with a link back over to their blog), answer the 10 questions they pose for you, create 10 new questions and pose them to 10 new bloggers you want to nominate. The nominees should all be bloggers with less than 200 followers.”

Here are the questions Lauren asked me:

• The Cliche Question: Why did you start blogging?
  I started blogging because I wanted somewhere to share my projects and decor to hopefully inspire others.
• What was the motivation behind your blog name?
  it took me soooo long to come up with a name for my blog. Arrows are just my reminder that when life is pulling you back it’s going to launch you into something amazing – be positive! and Awe comes from my passion and inspiration for things in life.

• What’s 1 thing you’d like to achieve as a blogger in 2016?
  I would like to build many relationships with other bloggers, attend a blogging conference and hopefully have this all figured out!
• Who are you rocking out to?! Give me your top 3 favorite artists.
  it’s been Halsey, Ellie goulding and Mac miller lately
• It’s time to go SHOPPING! If you could splurge on anything OR at any store what/where would you go!?
  eeeekkk.. I would go straight to Lush Cosmetics and buy literally everything.. For some reason I really enjoy buying THINGS instead of clothes/home items.. and i just really like to smell amazing….
• What’s 1 thing you LOVE about your city? List more if you’d like!
  I love that I am 5 minutes from the beach. Gotta love Florida
• Soundtrack: What’s 1 song that describes your life?
  ok so i literally can’t think of a song to describe my life.. I have songs to describe how I feel at times, but unless there is a song about a girl that works in an office, drinks a lot of coffee and cuddles with her pit bulls all night then there isn’t a song for me, lol!
• Salty or Sweet: Which do you prefer?
  This is a tough one, but I would say salty… I love pickles, green olives and vinegar… uh, delish!
• Describe your personal style.
  for me it’s less is more… I like clothes that don’t require a lot of styling.. Love to wear a romper or some high waisted skinny’s and a simple crop top.
• Beauty secrets! I know you have 1. Spill it!
  Something my mom actually taught me.. I use Ponds night cream to take my makeup off. I have super dry skin and this does not dry it out more than it is. I even use it like a moisturizing mask, just leave it on for about 10 minutes and wipe it off. Plus, it smells like roses – LOVE!
• **Extra** Do you have a favorite quote or words of wisdom that you live by?
  I have a few, but I love the words of the Serenity Prayer and the quote featured on my blog here
