Clearly I’ve hit the blogging jackpot. I have been tagged! By the lovely Angie over at The Fitness Apple. :) I’m digging her Disney love, and her blog is full of fabulous recipes!
Update! I was also tagged by Carrie over at Moves ‘n Munchies. She’s adorable and her blog is tons of fun, go check it out! :)
here’s how it works…
There are 4 duties to perform to accept this award:
1. Make a post + Link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them they’ve won!
Without further ado, 7 things you never particularly cared to know about me ;)
1. I was born in Brazil, but moved to the U.S. when I was 1. I do speak Portuguese, though. And I have a big, loud, extended Brazilian family. One of my favorite memories of all time is playing bingo with them at a beach house on New Year’s Eve a few years ago and the utter chaos that ensued as we tried to hear the numbers being called out over the ruckus of our loud voices. This is why I love them.
2. My favorite word is loquacious. It means talkative. In case you can’t tell from my babbly blogger personality, I talk a lot… so this word choice doesn’t seem to surprise many people ;)
3. The three best compliments I’ve ever received: that I’m easy to talk to/confide in, that I have doe eyes, and that my friends and I converse like Rory and Lorelai on Gilmore Girls (a longtime aspiration of mine!)
4. I could not live without carrots and oatmeal. I can easily polish off a pound of baby carrots in a day, by myself. And I eat 2-3 bowls of oatmeal every day. So there.
5. I vary between acting like a 90-year-old grandma baking cookies & sleeping all day and a giddy four-year-old who’s obsessed with Disney (particularly Pixar!)
6. I have an insatiable curiosity about almost everything, but especially people. Sometimes this makes me appear borderline creepy, but I really just like getting to know what makes each individual person tick.
7. I love a lot of people. I am not, however, in love with many people at all. I feel this is an important distinction.
There you go! I could probably babble on more about my *many* quirks, but I shan’t bore you further. ;)

ahhaah awkward.. i just tagged you in mine!! and ahhaah i am with you on number 5!
Not at all awkward! :) my best friend likes to say it’s only awkward if you make it awkward ;)
plus it’s just toooo much blog love up in here, and in this case there’s really no such thing as too much! :)
YOU WERE BORN IN BRAZIL!!! That is so cool. Love the picture…you are gorgeous. Oh, oatmeal and baby carrots. I am a grandma and a child too ha! Loved getting to know you better and I am sure we would be best friends because I consider the Gilmore’s to be my good friends ha! Thanks for tagging me, I am so so excited! Have a great day!
I just wrote on YOUR blog but let’s definitely be best friends mmkay? And we can chatter at each other and sound super witty just like the Gilmores.
Or at least WE’LL think we’re witty ;)
Thanks for tagging me lovey! I totally agree that I COULD NOT LIVE without oatmeal! I eat 2-3 bowls a day too :D TWINSIES! I think it’s so cool you were born in Brazil!
Love you!
<3 oatmeal
& <3 you! :)
Awww you’re such a sweetie! And lol I love the word loquacious :). You’re so super-cute, as is your pup!
sadly that is not MY pup, but my friend’s pup. plans to dognap are in the works ;)
(though I do have two lovely dogs of my own)
you’re too cute!
Thanks for tagging me!
I love anyone who loves oatmeal as much as I do! 2-3 bowls = champ status :)
We should make a club ;)
Hooray, thank you for tagging me! I can’t wait to fill this out next post. :)
And I can’t wait to read it! :)
I’ll be posting my “tag” results very soon in my next post! Stay tuned :)
Looking forward to it!!!
<3 Number 5!
Lol i never heard about the word loquacious before but I like it!! And I’m also a carrot lover but I like better buying the big ones and cutting them up, I just find the taste different. Well, carrots are carrots and soon we’ll be two orange Nicoles :D
Do you ever go back to Brazil? I loved when I went there!!! And oatmeal and carrots? Im there with ya!
Yes! We go back about every two years or so. :) Where in Brazil did you go???
No shame in acting like a grandma or 4-year-old, that pretty much sums me up too! Disney movies are AMAZING. Have you seen Tangled yet? If not then go see it asap. Like now. It’s SO adorable and full of amazing.
I’m fairly sure I could live off of carrots (with hummus) and oatmeal. There are hundreds (thousands? MILLIONS?) of options for toppings for oatmeal and, well, carrots and hummus are delicious. No explanation needed.
PS. Nicole, I’m thinking your blog is pretty fabulous too. ;)
AHH I’m obsessed w/ Disney and PIXAR, too!! It’s actually a little ridiculous – I could read Disney/PIXAR movie Wikipedia pages for hours! Cool blog!
what’s your favorite? I think I’d have to go with Wall-E, myself… But I love them all ;)
