I have recently been nominated for the Creative Blogger Award by a wonderful fellow blogger, the Timelesswheel. Thank you dearly for this lovely compliment and for considering my blog worthy of this award. Your blog is a wonderful place of collected thoughts and photographs, and full of inspiration for people to start living their lives in the moment. Its always such a pleasure to visit your blog.

To accept this award, here are five new facts about myself.

  1. I hate mosquitoes and cockroaches

Here are the fellow bloggers who I would like to nominate for this award. Their blogs brighten up my days.

Versatile Blogger Award

My blog was recently nominated for The Versatile Blogger Award by lovehappily. Thank you dearly for this very sweet gesture that I will gratefully accept. Paul’s blog is one of my favorite places to visit for general life encouragement and positivity, and I think its an inspirational blog to all who visit.

  3. My background is Italian, and I have never been to Italy….(yet)
  4. I am lactose intolerant, which developed 6 months before I turned 30
  5. I’m a scientist researching heart disease, but my PhD was in reproduction
