Liebster Award Nomination 

November 23, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 5 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?!

Thank you again Kait for the nomination!! You are a joy!!

    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

TGIF💃🏾🕺🏼👭🏽🧍🏽‼️ There TGIF💃🏾🕺🏼👭🏽🧍🏽‼️

There are a few new faces around so I felt like it would be a great time to do Friday introductions💖🥰💖
⚪️ I was born in Jamaica raised in CT, moved to CA on a dream and also to be apart of the @jcsacramento church plant in 2013
⚪️ Ben and I met at church in CT. Our families were hanging out before we ever met each other. Started dating in June of 2007. Engaged in December. Married in July 2008. 
⚪️ Ben was born in England. 
⚪️ Ava is 11 almost 12, Savannah is 10 and Judah is 9 on Sunday. They’re 15 and 17 months apart. 
⚪️ I got pregnant with Ava two months after getting married. 
⚪️ Originally we wanted 5 kids. I had two back to back c-sections so I decided to tie my tubes at 28 🤪🤪. 
⚪️ I will be 37 on June 21. Ben will be 35 on July 16. He has 4 siblings and I have 1. 
⚪️My main sports growing up were soccer ⚽️ and track 🏃🏾‍♀️ 
⚪️ Even though I’m on the keto diet my favorite foods are pasta, gummy candy and fries LOL
⚪️ I left my 17 year nursing career last fall to pursue influencing and content creation full-time after doing both for 6 years. 
⚪️ Ben had originally gone to school for his teaching degree in exercise science back in Connecticut. When we got to California he found out he had to do all this recertification. It had been deep in his heart to get into law-enforcement and decided to pursue that instead. He has been on patrol 🚔 since 2018. 
⚪️ We just started Outlander 😲. Such incredible acting. But we love true crime shows and documentaries. 

🌟 Tell me something about you in the comments! Do we have anything in common?!

I wear glasses for blue light protection and Benjamin just got a new prescription late last year. He was on patrol when he realized while driving at night it was becoming more and more difficult to read street signs. We started looking to Eyeglass World last year and it has been the best decision we have made! One of our favorite things about @eyeglassworld is that the day you get your eye exam is the day you get your glasses! Best part is you can always find a two pair for $78 deal every single day! Both Ben and I feel pretty cool in these specs! What do you guys think about our new frames?! #EGWpartner 📸 @etchedintime_photography

I discovered the importance of stretching the hard I discovered the importance of stretching the hard way last year! On my last few days of my job in nursing I literally had so much pain in my left hip while walking! I went to my chiropractor, they did x-rays and found out I had hip bursitis🤦🏾‍♀️ WUTTTT?! I’m not 90! Yes!! All the years of running, half marathon training, soccer etc. never stretching, it caught up! Now I go to the chiropractor every week and I do stretch LOL! Stretch people🤣

Story time 😁! Best and or worst date you’ve e Story time 😁! Best and or worst date you’ve ever been on- Go!!

Confession: I didn’t date anyone before Ben. He was my first boyfriend at 22 years old 😳and so I don’t have a lot of stories to tell except about our first date which was probably my favorite. 

I was super self-conscious about the fact that I wore wigs and with him being a cute Caucasian male- (he’s actually British!) I didn’t think he would fully grasp the concept of wigs and extensions so I felt the need to tell him on our first date🤣. We were in an IKEA parking lot and I wrote it on a piece of paper “I wear wigs like Beyoncé!” handed it to him and ran away LOL! Of course he said “that’s awesome!“ And my anxiety was lifted. 📸 @itserikachristine
