Award | Liebster Award – Discover New Blogs

Soo the most amazing thing just happened. Well… It happened two weeks ago but I’m just writing about it. Which is – I GOT NOMINATED FOR THE LIEBSTER AWARD!

When you’re just starting out in the blogosphere, it feels wonderful to know that your blog is being read, appreciated and liked enough for other bloggers to nominate you. It’s one of those things that keep you motivated to blog no matter how hard it gets (and we all know how hard it gets sometimes). So without further ado, let’s dive right in!

Wait, wait. Let me first express my love and gratitude to Jen’s Life and Style for nominating me!

Jenny is one of those first few bloggers to show support to me when I just started blogging and I will forever be grateful to her for this. She writes an all-rounder blog where she talks about family, lifestyle, motherhood, motivation and about things that keeps her going in life. She is such a warm person who freely shares her experiences to help others and here’s my latest favourite from her blog!

LIEBSTER AWARD

So what the Liebster Award basically is – it’s an award by bloggers for bloggers to support new bloggers and help them get more exposure on the blogosphere. [Phew that was almost a tongue twister]. Anyway. This award also helps you find new bloggers to follow and eventually be friends with and build your tribe. I cannot stress enough how important this is to motivate you not to quit and to keep blogging! Honestly the blogging community is so welcoming and supportive, I love ya all! 💕

Questions from Jen’s Life and Style

1. What do you enjoy most about blogging?

What I enjoy the most about blogging is that it gives me an open, non-judgmental platform to share my innermost thoughts. And sometimes, if I’m lucky, it brings me the people who share them too. Blogging has made it easy to find my tribe and work upon myself and grow as person. To learn from others and share my experience.

2. When do you feel most motivated to write?

Blame my Vata personality, but my work timetable has random energy spikes! I experience sudden adrenaline rush to get things done. I feel motivated as soon as an amazing idea hits, but to generalise, I am motivated when I’m inspired. It could be 10 AM in the morning or 1 AM. But if you’re asking when I do like to write, it’s on lazy winter mornings with coffee.

3. What are your favourite things to do when you have time?

I love to try out new things! It could be anything – a new recipe, a new idea or a new craft.

4. What is your favourite holiday?

As a Muslim, Eid’ul Fitr is my most favourite holiday! The holy month of Ramadan (fasting) teaches us a lot and if you learn about it, you’ll see its not restricted to just Muslims. Ramadan teaches us self control, discipline, cleanses our body of toxins and gives us so many other physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. It’s a wonderful time to get to touch with your inner self, to build a relationship with God. Ramadan is a month of festivity and spirituality. Eid is the first day of the next month after Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. Eid means happiness and that’s what I choose in my life over and over again.

5. Where would you love to travel to?

Hmm, can I say, the world?

6. Do you want to blog full time or is it just a hobby?

Right now it’s a hobby blog that I take seriously. I don’t get enough time to fully invest myself because college is a lot of work. But I have big plans regarding Vitality Tribe. 

7. Who motivates and inspires you the most?

As a writer, I draw inspiration from most people. Anyone and everyone inspires me. I keep my window of inspiration open because everyone I meet has something valuable to teach me. But my greatest source of inspiration is my family and my best friends.

8. What is your favourite movie, tv show, or book?

There are so many! Fav TV show – Game of Thrones. Fav book – currently Eat, Pray, Love.

9. Favourite food?

Pizza

10. Favourite drink?

Coffee

11. What do you see yourself doing in 10 years from now?

Living a contented life of gratitude, giving love selflessly, running a creative business, and being an inspiration to others.
