What does Liebster mean? Or should I be asking, who is Liebster, when is Liebster, where is Liebster? Do I want to be Liebstered? Sounds like a game of Jeopardy. Either way, I’m certain it’s a great award and I’m very thankful to be nominated. In fact, I’m over the moon! A big shout out goes to theeclecticeccentricshopaholic for nominating The Vibe 101.
HOW IT WORKS:
- When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated you.
- Pass the award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you tell them you nominated them!) and ask them 11 questions.
- You are not allowed to nominate the blog who nominated you!” (You can google the image, there are plenty of them!)
- PS: Make sure the blogs you chose have 200 or LESS followers
11 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:
- I had hopes of becoming an accountant but my debits and credits never balanced
- Someone told me that the word ‘gullible’ was taken out of the dictionary – I believed them!
- My favourite drink is a vodka lemon and lime.
- I like to bust a few dance moves after a few vodka lemon and limes (it really doesn’t take much).
- I’ve travelled to 19 countries outside of Australia – Egypt, Malaysia, Japan, Croatia, Thailand, US (Hawaii), Fiji, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, New Zealand, UK, Netherlands, Italy, Philippines, Singapore, China, Belgium – I’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of what this world has to offer. There are several more destinations to tick off my bucket list.
- I’ve got former teenage tennis sensation and world number one, Martina Hingis’ autograph. If only I knew where I put it.
- When I was younger, I use to have imaginary friends called Brenda and Alan (we’re not in contact anymore)!
- There’s only one woman I’d turn for ….. Angelina Jolie. Enough said!
- If I could have a dinner party with anyone dead or alive, I would dine with….Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, and Mahatma Gandhi – icons of peace.
- If I knew I couldn’t fail, I’d be a fashion designer, an interior decorator, a journalist and an artist.
- I used to collect all my school lunches and keep them under my bed until they got mouldy. I didn’t always like the sandwiches mum prepared (sorry mum!) but I felt too guilty to throw them in the bin….go figure!
QUESTION TIME:
1) What’s the best part about being you?
My lips! They’re pouty, not quite Jagger lips, but still very kissable!
2) What’s the worst part about being you?
I’m painfully shy and socially inept until I have a few vodka lemon and limes.
3) What do you wanna be when you grow up?
My ultimate dream has always been to become a fashion designer.
4) If you’re about to have your last meal, what would it be?
I’d ditch the diet and have an all you can eat smorgasbord of junk food twice over….Krispy Kremes is the first thing that comes to mind!
5) Most influential person in your life?
Beside my wonderful mum, I always wanted to be like my Aunty B. Aunty B was confident, feisty and had a great sense of style
6) Favourite book.
I can’t decide, The Kite Runner ,The Bronze Horseman, The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo….Ok I admit…The Twilight Series
7) So I invented a time machine. ^^ What time and place would you like to visit?
1950s Paris – a period of timeless chic, elegance, class and pure charm.
8) Your idea of paradise is…
a tropical oasis, reading a good book with a cocktail and a smorgasbord of junk food…including copious amounts of Krispy Kremes.
9) Favourite thing in your closet.
My cocktail dresses and my ruby red lipstick.
10) If you can have one superpower what would it be?
I’d love to be both invisible and have the ability to fly – I like the sense of freedom this power brings.
11) Can’t leave the house without your…
house keys and underwear

Congratulations
Thanks so much. It’s so cool especially when the only people who reads my blog are my parents hahahaha
Congratulations Vibe 101. And thank you so much for the nomination! I feel so honoured. 😀
Thank you so much. You deserve the nomination. I start to salivate when I see the pics on your blog! The food looks divine!
Hey! Thanks so much for thinking of my blog! I am new to blogging & this is my very first award ever!! Your blog has inspired me to get writing about my travels… I have so many great journeys & photos to share!! 🙂 Thank you x 2
When I read your profile, I could totally relate. I quit my job to follow my dreams and I have Winston the Wonder Dog with me to enjoy the adventure along the way!
Congratulations! Keep up the good work. And thank you for the nomination. Certainly made my day! Cheers!
Thanks so much. Glad it made your day. Again, the pictures on your blog makes me daydream all the time!
Winston, Wilson, wonder dogs…. Maybe they will meet some day?
They’re great names for awesome dogs! Seriously, Winston makes me laugh, he follows me around wherever I go:)
Thank you so much for your nomination. I like your questions and I will start working on them soon! Regards Sue Ann
Not a problem at all. Glad you like the questions. It’s hard to come up with something a little thought provoking and articulate:) Looking forward to seeing your answers!
How do you find out how many followers people have?
Some bloggers have them on their homepage. Others don’t. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Thank you very much for the nomination, I feel very flattered……and thank you for visiting my blog about lovely Bagni di Lucca.
I love reading your posts and the pictures are amazing!
Thank you so much for nomiating my blog fotodivivi:) I’m very glad that you like my photographs!
Your photos are awe-inpsiring, they’re so captivating..stunning!
Hi Vibe 101. Sorry to trouble you but how do I link back to you in my post? Do I just attach your link in the name? And perhaps silly question, how is the winner from the nominations decided?
Just copy and paste thevibe101.wordpress.com as a link or even as plain text anywhere in your post. The norm is to mention ‘that thevibe nominated you and to thank them’ blah blah blah. To be honest, I’m not quite sure how the nominations are decided (b/c I’ve never won…hehehe). I have a gut feeling it’s more an exercise in recognition amongst fellow bloggers as oppose to an offical award.
Congratulations! Love the answers you provided, but The Twilight Series? Really? Just kidding! Old English teachers like me are just glad people read! Love the freshness of your blog!
Thanks so much! So glad you liked the answers, I always try to provide sharp witty comments. Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes…Twilight…don’t hold it against me:) It was a phase…I got sucked in..hahaha Seriously, it’s not Tolstoy’s War & Peace…but it was still very addictive:)
Just kidding. I only wish I were as smart as that author and J. K. Rowling. They’re powerhouse writers and multi-millionaires for a reason — lots of people love their works! And I’m one of them! Best wishes for continued success with your blog!
I totally agree with you. JK Rowling is amazing! She’s so creative, I’d love to be able to write like that. Thanks so much for the well wishes.
Congratulations on your Liebester award – you made the page so very enjoyable to read!!!!
It’s always a wonderful surprise to get nominated. Thanks so much for the compliment – especially for such a simple blog about nothing & everything:)
Congratulations, you will be my inspiration for my newly set up travel blog 🙂
Oh wow! I’m so honored. You’ve totally made my day! I’m so glad that my very simple, humble blog has inspired you. It’s awesome! Again THANK YOU THANK YOU
You are welcome and keep inspiring more people 🙂
I’ll do my best! It’s feedback like that which makes blogging/writing so enjoyable.
Indeed 🙂 it’s what motivates me as well. Happy blogging.
I forgot to mention, your blog is SENSATIONAL!!! The pics are divine. If I could turn back time, I wish I had a digital camera with all my trips. Sadly, some of my earlier trips were captured on the old style ‘instamatic’ point n’ shoot cameras. The images aren’t good enough to view:(
You are too kind 🙂 Exactly my reaction as well when I started this travel blog “wish I did this earlier and decent cameras were a necessity back then”.
Looking forward to your next posts:) Can’t wait!
