Liebster award

I woke up yesterday to see that marmite et ponpon is nominated by the fashion blogger Karen, clumsy chic for a liebster award. German word “liebster” means dearest, lovely, valued, endearing. It’s an award given to discover new bloggers and bang the drum for them. Thank you Karen Nicolet for the nomination. Don’t hesitate to follow her, i am sure clumsy chic will be one of your references to fashion and travel. The rules are:

• Answer the questions of the blogger that nominated you
• Link back to the blogger who awarded you.
• Nominate 2 other bloggers to pass on the award to.

I will start by answering the questions and at the end you will find my nominations.

1- If your blog had a personality how would you describe it?

Jaymmy as is! spontaneous, creative, fun and loving!

2- Where do you get your inspirations from for your posts?

For food posts, usually i get inspired from friends, family, restaurants, other food blogs and my travels. It goes like this; i like a dish in a restaurant or at friends lunch or i read a recipe that gets me excited, i search for the ingredients and techniques then i adapt it to my own taste without following a particular recipe. For arts and crafts posts, i come from an artistic background, it’s not just a gift, it was supported by years of studies. My original work is a creative director. Lately i should mention my son became my inspiration.

3- What’s your favorite quote?

“We don’t do big things, we do small things with great love” for mother teresa.

4- Who’s your favorite cook?

I like jamie oliver, martha stewart and nigella lawson and my mom who is the greatest cook to my heart.

5- If you have magic powers what are the 3 things you would do?

• I would keep my “famil(ies)” healthy and happy around me
• i would travel the world with my Antoun and my Nady
• i would eat anything i like, the quantity i want without gaining weight

6- What was the best craft you did so far? I can’t say the best one but three, they hold so much feelings and memories, and made me discover how much Nady has inherited from my artistic skills.

• spring flowers
• the farm – easter eggs
• handmade christmas tree ornaments

7- If you could give an advice to another blogger, what would it be?

Strong content is ultimately the most important thing. Be yourself and give it time (Blogging experts say you need to blog for at least one year before expecting to see significant growth). Focus on the quality of the post and use nice pictures.

At the end, i pass this forward to the fashion lover and beauty fanatic Maya, playing with fashion and to the dedicated Najib from blog baladi the famous Lebanese blog.
