The Liebster Blog Award


The absolutely lovely Grace from Grace of Beauty nominated me for the 'Liebster Blog Award'. If you didn't know 'Liebster' is German for 'dearest' so this is quite a sweet award.

To participate after being nominated you'll just have to complete the following:
  1. Share 11 things about yourself
  2. Answer 11 questions provided by the nominator 
  3. Nominate 11 blogs [under 200 followers] that deserve the title and let them know!
  4. Think of 11 questions to ask the nominees
  5. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog 
11 Things About Me:
  1. I can eat a jar of pickles in one sitting. Ick. I know. 
  2. I have two younger brothers. 
  3. I was born in Russia and am not yet a citizen of the United States.
  4. I was president of my high school's drama club. Nerd alert. 
  5. I spend money I don't have on things I don't need. 
  6. I learned English by watching Seinfeld. 
  7. I have never had a single pet and that makes me sad sometimes. 
  8. I have lived in three different countries. 
  9. I don't like cupcakes but cookies are a very different story. 
  10. Sarcasm is my friend. 
  11. I want to learn to speak as many languages as I can in this lifetime. 
Nominator's [Grace of Beauty's] Questions:
  1. When did you start your blog? I started this blog about a month ago after sharing a blog with my best friend for a few months. 
  2. If you could start all over in life, would you change anything? I wouldn't change many things. Perhaps I would study more in school and not befriend certain people. 
  3. What are the best five words that would describe you? Organized, stubborn, lazy, silly, compassionate. 
  4. Neutrals or bright colors? Depends. Probably neutrals because I prefer more classic looks.
  5. What inspired you to start your blog? Why? Other peoples' blogs inspire me all the time. Blogging is an outlet for my creativity. 
  6. What are three things you are grateful for? Food, family, friends. The three 'F's. 
  7. What is the latest trip you went on? I just returned from California a week ago. 
  8. How did you come up with your blog's name? I wanted my blog name to be an alliteration and contain my name. Mumbles was the only word I could think of that was somewhat synonymous with talking.  
  9. The latest beauty purchase? NYX lipgloss in 'Beige'. 
  10. Are an organized person? I used to come over to my friends' houses to clean their rooms for fun. Does that answer your question?
  11. Your favorite blogs [pick 3]? 'Milk Bubble Tea', 'The Dauphine', and 'From Roses'.
