Versatile is my Middle Name

This post is eons old, and by eons I mean 3 weeks and 6 days to be exact. Sharleena from Marked Beauty (hey girl!) was lovely enough to nominate me for the Versatile Blogger Award! She's also hosting a great giveaway on her blog so check it out here and make sure you enter cos she's got pretty good things up for grabs! Plus the giveaway is international and we all love international giveaways now don't we?

Rules
- Thank the person that nominated you with a link back.
- Tell 7 things about yourself.
- Pass this on to 10 newly discovered blogs & let them know that they received the award.

Seven Things About Me.

1. Hair

I think I can safely say I am obsessed with long hair. A fellow blogger suggested that I measure my hair so I can keep a record of how long it's getting and trust you me, I am on that measuring tip like a tick is to a dog. Are there any tips you have on how to make your hair grow long? Believe me, I am willing to try the most ridiculously bizarre suggestions.

2. Amani

There's few things in this world that tag at my heart as much as this young lady does. Her heart is so beautiful and pure and truly loving. So much so that even when I decide to go to my dad's office to do some blogging she'll happily tag along with her bag of crisps and her book and quietly sit across the table from me. Why? Because she just wants to be next to me. She's the best sister out there for sure! For shizzle ma nizzle chucky chizzle dizzle wizzle wizzle.

3. Photography

This has quickly become a great passion of mine. I'm obsessed with pictures to the point where I'll browse through National Geographic for hours looking at their photographs. I'm getting a Canon EOS Rebel T2i in about a month's time and I am beyond excited!!

4. Travelling

I really want to travel the world, meet new people, see new architecture, be exposed to new cultures etc. So far I've only been to Dubai, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania (Zanzibar) and Australia. Starting from next year I want to try save up to go to a new country each year.

5.Nailpolish

This year I decided to start collecting nail polish and even though originally I aimed to get 100 nail polishes by the end of 2012, I'm now going for 150 as I already have about 70. A friend of mine told me how he collects pictures and I'm thinking of doing something similar, especially seeing that it will be aligned with my passion for photography.

6. Tattoo

I have one. And it's of a dove.

7. Love and Gratitude 

This has quickly become one of my mantras in the last few weeks. I want to embrace it, believe it and own it like I've never done with anything else before. I've recently been buying and borrowing lots of books with this sort of message and I can't believe it took me this long to discover this new outlook on life! Nonetheless, this discovery couldn't have come at a better time. Do you believe in the power of love and gratitude?

I know they're meant to be 10 but The 5 blogs I nominate are:

That Brunette One

Guts and Glamour

The Mess Inside My Head

Can't wait to see your responses ladies!
