I have been nominated for “One Lovely Blog Award’… TWICE 🙂 once by Bapalaya and also by Vivacious Lifestylin’. This Award gives you guys the chance to get to know me  just a tiny bit better as I have to tell you 7 facts about myself… But first I want to encourage you all to take a look at the blogs of the two fab ladies that have nominated me.

Bapalaya is such a beautiful, vibrant girl who certainly knows a thing or two about beauty, fashion & travel.

And Vivacious Lifestylin’ is the blog of Ashley Marie from Houston, Texas. She is such a pretty, creative person, so you should defintitely check out her lifestyle blog.

And here are the 7 facts I owe you guys…

1.When I was 8 or 9 I had a scrapbook about Paris… up until now it still is my favorite city!

2.My dream destination though is Australia… I do hope that one day I will be lucky enough to visit this Great Southern Land!

3.My favorite film ever is Shawshank Redemption. When I first heard about the film I thought ‘pfff… a film about a couple of guys in a prison, no thank you’. But as soon as I started watching this film I was hooked. It is such a beautiful film, such a touching story on friendship… a must-see for all!

4.Ross is my favorite Friends-character. His bleached teeth, his leather pants, his marriages and divorces, his droopy eyes,… hemakes me laugh everytime!

5.When I was a child I wanted to do ballet but unfortunately there was no ballet school in my little village and my parents didn’t have a car back then to drive me to the nearest ballet school. I didn’t want to sit still though so I joined the local gymnastics club. I can still do the split!

6.I’ve got a sweet tooth… a very sweet tooth… cookies & chocolate, pancakes & waffles, custard & icecream… bring it on… whatever, wherever, whenever… if only I didn’t have to watch my figure though… (deep sigh!!!)

7.One of my summer jobs as a student was working at an assembly line in a chocolate factory… putting chocolates into boxes… so many chocolates passed through my hands those three weeks and I couldn’t put a single one into my mouth!! Apparently I was so good at my job that the foreman asked me if I wanted to start working there fulltime instead of going back to school… I chose to go back to school!!
