Marie Claire Blog Awards

I wasn't sure if I should post on this as I know some people don't like being bombarded with posts about blog awards. But I decided to go with my gut instinct and my gut told me I was delighted to hear that I was on the nominated list for the Marie Claire blogger awards and in the running for the shortlist!

So I figured a little post to say thank you, and a little mention that if you have a moment to vote for me, I'd really appreciate it!  You can click on the image above, or the link here to head over to the voting page - my blog is listed under 'Beauty Blog'. 

Thank you so much!

Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2011

Just a quick post to let everyone reading this know that the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2011 are now open for nominations.

I was absolutely beyond over the moon when I was a finalist in the first Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2010, so a big thank you to everyone who nominated me last year. Of course, if anyone feels that they wanted to nominate me again that would be amazing! I would be in the 'Established Beauty Blog' category, since I've been doing this for two and a half years now... wowza, time really does fly!

Cosmopolitan Blog Awards: Thank you!

As many of you will know the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards winners were announced yesterday - a big congratulations to Lollipop26 and Pixiwoo!

I also wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who reads this blog that did take the time to vote for me. Although I didn't win the overall prize I was beyond happy just to have been included in the shortlist - and that comes down to those of you who took the time to nominate. So thank you so much, I absolutely adore blogging and it warms the heart (cheesy, but true) to know that a few people who read this like it enough to take the time to vote!

So thank you! xx

Last call... Cosmopolitan Blog Awards

I promise this will be the last post I hassle anyone with about the Cosmo blog awards... but just in case you missed it first time round I am really pleased to have been shortlisted for the 'Best Beauty Blog' category for  the awards and figured it was worth just putting it out there - if you want to vote you can read all you need to know on the post I put up a couple of weeks ago:

Voting closes on 31st August (midnight, UK time).

Thank you!

Cosmo blog awards: Time to vote

Ok, so after the very pleasant surprise of finding out I was nominated for a cosmo blog award this morning I listed all the nominees as the cosmo website was having a few issues. Now they are all fixed and up and running so it's time for me to post the obligatory plea for help!

It would be fantastic if anyone wanted to take the time to vote for this blog (links on the blog at the top and in the side column) or you can click the button below (I'm covering all bases!) I will be eternally grateful!!

Again, good luck to all the nominated blogs!

Cosmopolitan Blog Awards, and the nominees are...

I am so extremely excited as I found out this morning that this blog has been shortlisted for a Cosmopolitan Blog Award. So a HUGE thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate me - I really do appreciate it.

The Cosmopolitan website is currently having some technical problems, but the full list of nominees is below. When the website is up and running I will put a link on here that will take you through to the voting pages. I will of course be doing that whilst keeping my fingers and toes crossed from now until voting closes...!

So here are the nominees, not all blogs I have read before but many of them I do and think they are wonderful!
