The Liebster Blog Award | Discover New Bloggers

I have been blogging for just a couple of months now (actually started last year, with a couple of articles but didn't really push through with it until now) and was surprised to be nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by Lauren Suggs of Twin Tested, Pin Approved. Thanks a lot Lauren! I gladly accept the award! Wow, my first ever blog award! This is just awesome! I really appreciate the nomination and the opportunity to write this post and meet fellow bloggers.

To start with, I didn't know anything about the award so I decided to ask my friend, Google, to help me out on this one. As it turns out, the blog award has German origins, the word “Liebster” has several definitions: kindest, nicest, beloved, dearest, sweetest, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart and boyfriend. All the nominees are already winners once they accept the award and pay it forward. It's basically a blogger to blogger award that works like a chain letter that could be considered good or bad which entirely depends on the person receiving it. In my case, I think it's an awesome way to meet other bloggers and discover & support new blogs as well!

I've stumbled upon different sets of rules in my research, but decided to stick with Lauren's post. So here I go:

• You must link back to the person who nominated you. (check!)
• You have to answer all the questions you were given by the person who nominated you.
• You must choose 5-11 bloggers who have less than 200 followers, and come up with a new set of 11 questions for them.
• Let your nominees know they’ve been nominated.
