The Blogger Interview

Blogging is one of those rewarding activities that just keep on giving but there’s probably nothing better than the sense of community and belonging that it provides. That feeling is never more obvious to me than when another blogger tags or nominates you for a blogging ‘thing.’ 

The lovely Ms Mistry recently tagged me for the blogger interview, and simply melted my heart, the way being thought of by others always does. So without further ado, here’s my story…

Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award

Today’s post is very different to the usual content on LikeCubed, but it’s my very first blogger award and I’m extremely excited to be a part of the Sisterhood of the World. I’d like to give a huge thanks to Carina from Stepabout for this nomination, and would love it if you guys would check out her blog! It’s probably like no other blog you’re following… Now onto Carina’s questions!


Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award

1. DO YOU MIND RAINY DAYS OR DO YOU FIND SOMETHING POSITIVE IN THEM?
Considering that I live in the UK, rainy days have to be taken advantage of or you’d never go anywhere or do anything. In small quantities they’re great for a cozy day in with books, blogs and movies; but when it’s such a common occurrence, life goes on as usual.  

2. HAVE YOU GOT ANY SIBLINGS?
I have a little sister who’s turning 10 tomorrow. Everyone says that she’s a mini-me and I couldn’t be happier about that. She’s already much smarter than most kids her age, sarcastic beyond belief, and quite the comedian. Honestly, I often forget how young she really is…

3. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT SETTING BLOGGING GOALS, DO YOU FIND THEM MOTIVATIONAL?
Blogging goals are great for those of us who can get organised and stick to a schedule. There have been countless times when I was lacking in ideas and creativity and simply wanted to take a break from blogging, knowing all too well that the break would end up being much longer than planned. But my goal of posting every Tuesday and Saturday at 4pm is now public knowledge and it really keeps me on track, posting on a regular basis.


4. TALKING ABOUT BLOGS, NAME THREE OF YOUR FAVOURITE ONES.

My current favourite blogs would have to be Stepabout (no, not because Carina nominated me for this award!), Loved By Laura; and Ms Mistry Blogs. All three of these blogs are very different, discussing various interesting, helpful, or relatable topics.

5. IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY LANGUAGE COURSE FOR FREE, WHICH LANGUAGE WOULD YOU LEARN?
Having existing knowledge of the ‘big’ languages like English and Spanish as well as the relatively useless Lithuanian, I’m all about value. And what’s more valuable these days than Mandarin? It would be incredible to learn Mandarin or maybe Arabic, but with no similarities to any languages I already know, it would be a huge undertaking.
6. WHO’S YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH?
I’m not really one for celebrity crushes any more as I get more obsessed with a show than its actors. Nonetheless, I guess I always have a soft spot for Joseph Morgan (The Vampire Diaries / The Originals) and basically all of the boys from Pretty Little Liars. I might even be starting to finally appreciate the work of art that is Tom Hardy…
7. HOW DO YOU SPEND A PERFECT DAY?
The perfect day would probably be far, far away from home, in some exotic country that I’ve always wanted to visit, with my boyfriend by my side. Sun, great views, and exotic animals are probably a good start to a perfect day. And well-developed photos to share on LikeCubed, of course.

8. WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS? DO YOU IDENTIFY WITH A SPECIFIC RELIGION; ARE YOU ATHEIST OR ANYTHING ELSE?
I don’t identify with any religion. It’s a nice thought that there could be someone out there looking out for you but I simply cannot buy into it with so much awful stuff happening in the world. Good die young? He needed more angels? That’s too much even for someone who reads a lot of fantasy books.

9. VERY ROUGHLY, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND ON YOUR BLOG?
Officially, I spend about 10 hours a week writing up posts, creating/editing photos, and promoting the content on social media. Unofficially, I spend all of my time racking my brain for ideas, creating organisers, or learning about how to improve the craft of blogging. 

Blogging is not an activity; it’s a way of life.

10. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A BLOGGER EVENT AND IF YES, HOW DID YOU LIKE IT?
I’ve never been to a blogger event even though I’m just dying to go. Unfortunately, most blogger events take place in London or the surrounding area and I’m all the way up in Scotland (which is a 10 hour bus ride away). So if anyone wants to organise a lil thing up in the north, don’t forget to invite poor little old me!
