{Sunshine Award}

The lovely & bubbly Mel over at Mel's Corner  recently nominated me for a Sunshine Award - thanks for thinking of me Mel!

So what does that mean? 
It means I get to tell you more about myself (seems to be all I talk about these days - ha!)

Rules of the Sunshine Award:
1) Display the award on your ever deserving blog
2) Say "thank you" to the wonderful person to have nominated you
3) Give us 10 interesting things about yourself
4) Nominate some of your favorite blogs
5) Link to those blogs in your post and let them know that you've nominated them!

10 Interesting things about me...

1. I have green eyes - my dad has blue eyes and my mom has brown eyes
2. I have the exact same birthmark on my back that my grandfather had - it almost looks like an acid spill - but most times you cannot see it because I am naturally pale
3. I think about travelling - ALL the time
4. I am very talkative, but I am also very shy sometimes
5. My younger brother is married with a child & it honestly does not bother me
6. I hate exercise, but I am loving Pilates more than I ever thought I would 
7. My cousins used to be Andre Agassi's neighbours in Malibu
8. I was on the radio asking Jhb whether I should hook up with an older or a younger guy - Jhb voted for the younger guy - so I did! 
9. I almost lost my thumb when I was little - I was run over by a car
10. I almost died when my appendix burst in 2008 - I didn't know I had a major infection because I had felt no pain until it was almost too late

My favourite blogs (I don't read or blog very much anymore, but there are a few I religiously read the moment I have time)

1. The Cow Jumped over the Moon
2. Purple Lips & Perfect Smiles 
3. Vanilla Blonde

Thanks again for this Mel!
