Beautiful Blogger Award

January 20, 2010

Hey fellow blog readers!  How is your week?  Were still having a bit of rainy weather. I am loving it.  We don’t get rain in Vegas that often so when we do, I enjoy ever minute.  I finished “Dear John” and can’t wait to see the movie.  We have our book club this Saturday.  I’m not going to lie,  I didn’t get through the book this month, “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”.  I am still going to attend and just hang out.

On to today…I wanted to share a nomination I received from Corinne at Green Grapes Blog as well as  Kasey from Fit for Wellness.  Thanks ladies!

I was so excited that I received a nomination for The Beautiful Blogger Award.  I have only been blogging since October, but have really enjoyed sharing my life and meeting so many wonderful bloggers along the way.

How this works… I am supposed to share 7 fun facts about me then nominate 7 other wonderful bloggers!

  1. My family nickname is Bella.  It started maybe around the time I was in high school and kind of just stuck.  When I went to Italy, I had mentioned this to the friends I made while abroad. They have shirts all over Italy that say Bella on them so it took off from there.  To this day, one of my good friends still calls me Bella.                                                                                                                                                               
  2. I’m VERY clumsy.  You can ask my coworkers or really anyone that knows me for that matter.  I spill things, walk into things,..you name it. 
  3. I am a HUGE animal lover.  I think you all know I have 2 cats, Oliver and Charlotte.  They are like my babies.  Growing up, my family had pretty much every animal you can think of… a hamster, bird, rabbits ,a cat, a dog, and fish to name a few.  I would love to be able to open a no kill shelter for animals one day.
  4. One of my favorite TV shows is the SOUP…can we just say “Chicken Tetrazzini”.
  5. I originally went to the University of Nevada, Reno for college.  I started up there as a business major.  I transferred to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas after a year and a half. I took one nutrition class and I was hooked!
  6. As I have mentioned, I am a huge sap and love CHICK FLICKS.  My favorites have got to be “The Holiday” and “The Notebook”.
  7. I have a bit of a Twilight obsession.  I have read all of the books more than once and we all I know I went at midnight to see the premiere of New Moon. I am worse than a tween.

The lovely bloggers I nominate:

I have loved reading all your blogs and there are so many I find each and every day!

I was going to try out that Bootcamp class again tonight but I am kind of feeling like getting my workout over this morning.  Hope you all have a great day!

I LOVE the SOUP! It’s so hilarious.
I love the name Bella too, in fact I was just with someone named Bella. I would call my daughter Bella, it’s just so pretty.

I really enjoyed reading this post.
I would love to open a no kill shelter for animals one day too. I saddens me that there are so many of them mistreated and abandoned.

Kristen – Thank you so much for the award!

Loved getting to know a little more about you and I look forward to checking out the other blogs you mention.

I have to say – I love the name “Bella” too. Traveling to Italy a few years ago was one of the highlights of my life. I hope to go there again someday….and I’ve always thought Bella would be a great name for a little girl someday. ;)

I just came across your blog and it’s good to know there are other food bloggers in Vegas. For awhile I was beginning to think I was the only one! I love that you admit that you are clumsy! I’m totally clumsy as well and famous for tripping over my own feet, walking into walls, and falling up the stairs. I’m constantly covered in bruises! hahaha!
