liebster award – CITYLOVEEE

i like the lack of perfection in this photo. i debated posting it a few weeks ago and decided not to because of the hairs on my knee. no one is perfect.

I’ve been nominated for a Liebster Award by Oli. (Thank you, Oli!) I’ve heard of this award in the past but didn’t think too much of it. I actually Googled it to get a better idea of what it’s all about. I’m flattered to be chosen. It doesn’t really fit in the aesthetic of my blog, but I think it would be fun for my followers to learn a little more about me. Enjoy!

1. What is your favorite season, why?

My favorite season is summer. (My favorite season is almost over. :() I love summer because the possibilities are endless. You can go to the beach, go camping, dip in the pool, have a picnic, outdoor dinner party…

2. What is inspiring you most, right now?

Photography/videography & blogging.
They all go hand in hand but I’m constantly inspired to improve those skills.

3. What project or purchase for your home is on top of your to-do list?

I don’t have anything on the top of that list. I’ve been saving to travel next year so home improvements aren’t on my radar. I think if I were to spend money right now, I’d buy some paint and paint my room and some furniture.

4. What setting/place brings you the most peace/calm?

:cheesy alert:
When I’m with my boyfriend.

5. Favorite flower?

I really love poppies. They are California’s state flower, so they remind me of my favorite state. (I went to a poppy field earlier this year. See some photos here.)

6. Your lesson of 2014?

Don’t be afraid to be yourself and speak up for yourself. I find myself not saying how I feel so I decided no matter how fearful I am, I need to speak up for myself. I feel better when I do.

7. Your song of 2014?

John Mayer’s rendition of Beyoncé’s “XO.” It’s a combination of two of my favorite artists.

8. Favorite book, why?

I REALLY enjoyed The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. >.< (I read it in a day!) I read it before they made it into a movie and now that everyone knows about it and makes fun of it, it makes me embarassed to say it’s my favorite book. Haha. I don’t read as much as I like. I just finished #GIRLBOSS and I really enjoyed it as well.

9. What do you envision your life being like in 10 years?

TRAVELING CONSTANTLY. I eventually want to make a living traveling and seeing the world.

10. If handed 10 million dollars, what would you change about your life?

I would be traveling constantly RIGHT NOW. I wouldn’t be waiting for next year.

11. If teleportation were possible right now, where would you go first?

Paris, France. I was introduced to the French New Wave in college and it made me obsessed with Paris. I really need to see it for myself.
