Liebster Award Nomination 

November 23, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 13 Comments

I am very flattered and seriously honored that Kait nominated me for this award. The Liebster award is an awesome nomination given by bloggers to other bloggers to acknowledge their hard work and encourage readers to give new blogs a view! I am so honoured that Kait thought to pass on the nomination to me.

Kait with Make Mine Maroon


Here are my answers to her questions:

1: If you could only use one makeup item for the rest of your life what would it be? It would be my foundation or gosh and my eyebrow liner!! I look crazy without either of the two!! I’m sorry I had to pick two!

2: Why did you start blogging, and what it your proudest blogging achievement? I started blogging as a means of a creative outlet. I feel alive when I am creating and blogging is creating for me. My proudest blog achievement this year would be becoming a brand Ambassador for Eve’s Tree Hoodie line.
3: What is one little thing you do just for you every week? I go to the gym… that is my me time! LOL
4: What is your favourite Thanksgiving or Christmas tradition? Christmas morning is my favorite!! My husband is from England so we have to listen to the queen’s speech. We then have cinnamon rolls for breakfast, open stockings, then take turns with opening the big gifts. We spend the rest of the day just lounging around. It is the best!!

5: What is your favourite feature about yourself? Probably my smile 🙂

6: If you could have one super hero who would it be? It would be Thor! He is amazing!

7: Do you have a favourite Starbucks order? Grande upside down Carmel Machaitto (which I honestly never get anymore)! I am a lover ofall things  Carmel

8: What’s a strange quirk you have that drives everyone around you crazy? Tapping my head!
9: What odd little thing makes you supremely happy? The sight of flowers and the smell of rain.
10:What piece of advice would you give to other bloggers trying to grow their brand? Stay true to your self, don’t try to be like anyone else. Find your niche, own it and brand yourself. Take quality over quanity all the time. Take your time, don’t rush the process. Pray.

My favorite part about being nominated for the Liebster Award is getting to nominate other fabulous bloggers in return! Here are my nominees:
1) Chelsea at Blush and Bubbly

2) Angelle at Dashing Darlin

3) Candace at Candie Anderson

4) Candace at Candice Stubblefield

Here are the rules ladies:❤️
1. Post the award to your blog.

2. Answer the questions that you were given from the person who nominated you.

3. Nominate a few new bloggers you’ve discovered.

4. Create 10 new questions for the nominees.

5. Thank the blogger who nominated you and post a link to their blog.

Here are the questions my friends!!?

1) When & why did you start blogging?!

2) When do you remember first getting into fashion?

3) What is your favorite store to shop in?

4) What one makeup item can you not live without?

5) What is your all time dream vacation spot?!

6) If you could be best friends with a celebrity who would it be?!

7) What do you want for Christmas?

8) What is your favorite Holiday tradition?!

9) What big blogger do you aspire to be like?!

    An interesting discussion will probably be worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you simply write more about this topic, may well be described as a taboo subject but normally folks are inadequate to communicate on such topics. To the next. Cheers

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️
