Three New Awards...

The "I Frequently Read Your Blog" Award, The "I Love Your Blog" Award, & A second "I Love Your Blog" Award

I have been awarded with The "I Frequently Read Your Blog" Award and the "I Love Your Blog" Award, by my blogger friend, GeekyMacBoy--thanks so much!  I did not expect this, and I really appreciate it!  I was then awarded the third award, another "I Love Your Blog" Award by Photography by me.  Thank you!  Now comes the hard part, having to choose only a few blogs out of the many talented people that I follow.  Since I kind of went over-board with picking over 20 people for the last award, I will try my best to only stick to 15.  Please do not get offended if you didn't get chosen this time around, there will be more awards circulating I'm sure!  I want to thank the following people for being talented, original, and creative!  Following what GMB said, "To the people that I am awarded, consider yourself nominated for all three of these awards!"  Of course, you are not obligated to accept all three if you do not wish to do so, just know that I thought of you!

Rules:

Post the award on your blog together with the name of the person who has given you the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you've newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award :)

I nominate the following people for all three awards:

A BIG Thank You to Monique for adding me to your database as a Latina Blogger! I read your about me section, and I love it!

I have been awarded the "One Lovely Blog" Award!

This is my first blog award, and I couldn't be happier!  MissVendella gave me this award with fourteen other bloggers-- and that was so sweet of her!  Thanks so much hun!

To accept this award: Post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

Being super busy with grad school has kept me from having the chance to sit down and write to all of these people to let them know how much I love their blog!  I am sorry for that, and maybe you can accept this award as a token of my appreciation: Thank you for you being you!  

Everyone needs to check out these blogs and follow them if you haven't done so already, because they are something fierce, and indeed "Lovely"!

I am a FABB Approved Blogger!

What a pleasant surprise and honor!  I have been chosen as an "Approved Blogger" on the FABB Network.  The FABB Network stands for Fashion And Beauty Bloggers, and it is a great network for lovers of fashion and beauty to come together and talk about the things they love most--Fashion & Beauty!  The FABB Network is a page that was created on Ning by Gloria, A.K.A. DivaShop.  You should really check her out!  This is what she writes on the home page about the network:

Membership to this site is open to any fashion & beauty blogger, fashion & beauty blogger fan, and/or fashion & beauty fan. This will allow bloggers & their readers to interact together. However, only approved bloggers will see their blog posts in the network feed & only approved bloggers will be able to join the private FABBloggers Group. Only family-friendly blogs will be approved. You can be approved in one of 3 ways. 1) You can fill out the application. 2) You can join & link your blog on your profile page & I'll find it & decide whether or not to approve it. 3) I'll discover your blog & invite you.

Note to Newly Approved Bloggers: It may take awhile for your posts to show up in the network feed shown below. Also, please put the special Approved Blogger FABB badge on your blog (you can get codes in the private group for approved bloggers) so other FABBloggers can discover this network. Thanks!

I received the email last night from Gloria that I have been approved, and it is especially even better news to hear while I feel ill.  This is keeping my spirits up!

Click the picture below to see a screen shot of the FABB Network homepage where I am being mentioned along with two other newly approved bloggers! I circled my name in white, and wrote a small message! =)

This a copy of the badge that only approved bloggers get to use on their blog site:

Aren't I such a fabulous blogger?! Yes I am! LOL J.K.

Again, thank you so much Gloria for adding me to the list of elite fashion and beauty bloggers, it means a lot to me!
