I am super thrilled to be receiving my first blogger award from another amazing blogger ThisIsAlx!! It really is such an honour when other wonderful bloggers acknowledge you. The blogging community has been so wonderful. It has become a place of an escape for me. A place where women don't trash talk each other but rather elevate each other. It is refreshing to see.

ThisIsAlx has such a great blog, specially for Canadians. She always puts up great deals. I have no idea where she finds them but I always look forward to reading her blog to see what's new. She has introduced me to quite a few new things, which I am grateful for. Her product reviews are thorough, and I trust her opinion wholeheartedly. Thank you Alex for the award :) Check her out, you won't be disappointed!

Now I have to write about myself?

First of all, I hate talking about myself :D. I can pretty much talk about anything, but myself. I sometimes wish I was one of those people that are overly confident, but not cocky. Now you can see how hard this is for me.
Okay, it may be hard but I never shy away from a challenge, so here goes some random things.
I love food, if you haven't guess. I have officially declared this summer as a culinary experience. I am going to try as many different cuisines as possible. I used to be quite picky with food, but I have learned to appreciate the different taste that we have in the city. I was introduced to Indian food this year and I love it.
Vegetables and my taste bud don't really get along. I used to actually be pickier with vegetables, but now the number of vegetables I eat has expanded to two hands.
I love to bake, but I can't cook.
I want to have visited each continent before I am 30 :)
I hate camping. Don't get me wrong,I love nature, but I can't go anywhere where there is no bathroom within a few steps. I am not some diva, I assure you. The real reason is my skin is quite sensitive, and I find that I break out when I go camping. I also have a mosquito bite scar that is still here from some 4 years ago. I scar easily and I wish they would fade as easily but not quite.
I can pretty much shop anywhere. Take me anywhere and guaranteed I will walk away with something.
I think this is more than enough. LOL. I guess I do like talking about myself a little more than I thought.
One more thing, I love Alex Goot. Amazing and talented. Check him out below :)
