The idea behind the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award is to recognize the unique voices of women bloggers around the world. How cool is that? Women coming together to make the world a better place is so important to me. We are all stronger together. I am so honored to be nominated for an award that is grounded in girl power! I was nominated by Maitreyi at glamorpolish. She writes a fun beauty blog, with her personality shining through. I like her honesty and the way she writes. I don’t follow a ton of beauty blogs, so hers is special π However, I am now starting to think I need to follow more. I will start with the blogs in her post!
Here are the rules of the award, should any of my nominees choose to accept!
Thank the blogger who nominated you & link back to their site.
Answer the ten questions sent to you.
Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer.
Nominate seven bloggers who you feel deserve the award.
My answers to Maitreyi’s questions:
- What are your favourite hobbies?
blogging, playing with my dogs, reading, making new drink recipes
- How do you make yourself motivated when you are feeling low?
I just force myself to do something. Once I start, I tend to get wrapped up in it and it’s easier to move on. My go to is minimalizing- going through an area of my house that could be cleaned out. I know that’s nuts, but it works for me. - What is your favourite dish?
Anything Indian or Ethiopian! - Jeans or skirts?
Skirts. I think dresses are more comfortable and more forgiving of figure flaws (real or perceived…) - Blush or bronzer?
Bronzer, for sure. I am very pale, but also have red cheeks. I am mostly German with some Irish, but I look more Irish than anything else. - The singer whom you just love to listen all the time?
Taylor Swift! I know the haters are gonna hate, but I love her anyway. She never fails to cheer me up. - Sunrise or sunset?
Sunset. I love to see both, but if I’m up early enough to see the sunrise, I’m probably grumpy about it. - Who is your favourite superhero?
My friend, K. She accomplishes more than anyone I’ve ever met, and does it with a great attitude. I do realize this probably isn’t what you meant, but she’s still my favorite superhero π - What is your nickname?
Jillian (Jill is my “real” name), Jilliey, Jillybear - What is your favourite genre in movies?
suspense- I love Hitchcock, as well as modern suspense
The winners, that I think are just fabulous. Go check them out and bask in their awesomeness!
- Banishing Loans – I love her posts about budgets and getting out of debt. I wish we all could be more honest about money.
- The Vintage Vista – healthy living, minimalism, and a cute kitty!
- Purely Genuine – I just found this blog the other day when searching for giveaways (awesome Nordstrom gift card giveaway going on now!), but her interior design ideas that I have seen so far are gorgeous
- My Bloggable Day – very fun lifestyle blog. Today she has a picture of Taylor Swift. I can’t not love that. (read Bec’s post here)
- A+ Housewife – I adore her cleaning schedule. Is that weird, that I obsess over things like this?
- Chronicles of a Single Mom in the South – the name sums it up π cool lifestyle blog, I like to read about her daily life.
- Overinvolved Mom – a friend introduced me to this blog. I was a little starstruck when she followed me back. She writes great stories about motherhood, and her name is also Jillian. Love it! (read Jillian’s post here)
Y’all, here are your questions:
- What’s the funniest thing that has happened to you lately?
- Is there something you’re putting off doing that you could start today?
- If the average human life span was 50 years, how would you live your life differently? OR If you had five more years to live, how would you live your life differently?
- If you had to move to a new state or country, where would you move and why?
- Whatβs the weirdest thing youβve ever done on a date?
- What was the last picture you took on your phone?
- If you see a dog running around alone by the road, do you stop to help the dog?
- Do you have a favorite sports team?
- Would you want to be famous and rich, knowing that you would lose all of your privacy?
- What was your first job?
Quick… go! If anyone else wants to answer these, jump right in π

It’s kind of funny… I never really felt like age applied to me. So I guess my real answer would be that it wouldn’t have made any real difference to me.

The part that scares me is the debt. I avoid debt as if it could kill me. I’ve never even had a auto loan, and I’m gonna have a mortgage? I’m sure I’m not grown-up enough for THAT.

Owning a home is a blessing but a NEVER ending project and a good finical investment . Thinking of Jill’s question is there something youβre putting off doing that you could start today? Yes, I should start preparing my plant beds (gardening is only three weeks away β yikes), but instead I am sitting here typing and thinking of taking a nap. I also donβt think a home has to look like adult (what does an adult home look like?). My partner and I are both professionals, but entering our home the first thing your eye catches is a vibrant orange wall and a huge Star Wars poster in our entry way (but it is in a beautiful frame so you could say that makes us adults… lol).

I think that maybe the nap is truly what you should have been doing that you could have done π
That’s a great point about what is an adult home? I think it can be anything, and I love bold accent walls!

Congratulations Jill, and great post. You had some really good questions for your nominees. The one that hit me as well was the “50 year” question. I’d also be dead, but it really makes you think. π

Congratulations! I love the question jeans or skirts! My answer is dresses- I have 35 and counting. They are more comfortable and more forgiving of figure flaws; and easy to take from day to night.
