Surprise, I’m doing The 12 Days of Blog-mas!
Starting today until the 25th I’ll be publishing a new blog post every single day. It’s going to be a challenge since I haven’t daily blogged in over 3 years, but I’m determined to follow through with this exciting holiday blog posting schedule (plus, it’s only for 12 days)! I’ll be writing about fitness and food, sharing my holiday stories, traditions and favorites, and reviewing some cool new products, so stay tuned for exciting and new content. Also, keep your eyes peeled because I might be hosting a giveaway very, very soon!
Anyway, Blog-mas announcement aside, please pardon my absence over the past few weeks. My life has been quite hectic recently and I didn’t get a chance to sit down and write. Since I’m a creature of habit and thrive on routine, I’m currently learning how to go with the flow and make room in my daily schedule for unexpected plans.
A mini update on everything that’s happened over the past week and a half:
– My college exams are now OVER!
– I’m finished at work for the year!
– I’ve moved back in with my parents for the month because my apartment is empty and I didn’t want to be alone for the holidays.
– I’ve been going to my parents’ gym Monday – Friday at 7:30am and I’m currently not working with my trainer. He has given me online workout plans, which I’ve been completing.
– I’m loosely tracking my macros (more on this in a future post).
– I received an AWESOME coffee flavored protein powder in the mail that has made consuming protein powder super easy (again, more on this in a future post).
– Last night I returned from a trip to Washington state and I’m currently in the process of unpacking.
– I’m now 23 years old (my birthday was on Sunday the 13th)!
So now that you’re all caught up on what I’ve been doing, I wanted to thank Cay from Healthyezsweet.com for the Liebster Award nomination! The Liebster Award is an award that promotes up-and-coming bloggers on WordPress and welcomes them to the blogosphere. I’m not a new blogger, but I’m going to happily accept the nomination and nominate a few bloggers that I personally love reading.
The Liebster Award nomination also comes with some fun questions to answer, so let’s get started!
What is the inspiration behind your blog name?
My blog is named after the Panda-monium Pink OPI nail polish. It’s my favorite polish color and I named my blog after it because pandamoniumpink.com was originally a makeup blog.
Where is your favorite place in the world?
As cheesy as this sounds, my favorite place in the world is the city that I call home, Vancouver, Canada.
What makes you happy?
My goodness, where do I start. I could go on forever, but here are a few things that make me happy: my family, my boyfriend, my friends, my pet hamster, going to school, blogging, Youtubing, working out, tacos, sushi, donuts, and bumble berry pie.
Why did you start your blog?
I started my blog so that I could have an online creative outlet.
What is your favorite quote?
Face your truth (it’s tattooed on my arm).
What is your favorite movie?
Batman Begins!
What are your 3 biggest achievements?
1. Saving someone’s life when I used to work in sports first aid.
2. Going to college and earning my credentials.
3. Recovering from an eating disorder.
Do you have any advice for new bloggers?
– Blog about something that you’re interested in. Readers WILL KNOW when you’re writing about something that you’re just not that into.
– Don’t do it for the money. It’s no secret that bloggers make money, but it shouldn’t be the reason why you’re running a blog. Do it because blogging makes you happy!
– Create a blog post writing/uploading schedule (clearly I’m still struggling with this one)!
I nominate the following for the Liebster Award:
– Rachel and Rachel from radiantrachels.com
– Tesa from tesajayfit.com
– Kendra from curatedtaste.com
Thank you again to Cay from healthyezsweet.com for nominating me.
I’ll see you all tomorrow in day 2 of Blog-mas!
Keep smiling,
Kels
