African Blogger Awards 2015

Last week the African Blogger Awards 2015 were announced on Twitter and to my surprise I came runner up in two categories! I had actually forgotten about the awards! I entered a few months back and not given it much thought since then.

You can imagine my delight when Inspired Living SA was announced runner up in the Fashion & Beauty Category and the Lifestyle Category! As a blogger you always wonder how many people are paying attention and reading what you put out there. It would appear there are quite a few 🙂

The aim of the African Blogger Awards, is to acknowledge the top African talent in the world of Bloggers, YouTubers, Facebookers, Tweeters, and Instagrammers. These awards provide an opportunity to the most successful online influencers in Africa to be recognised, for their hard work in growing and keeping their communities active and engaged.

What sets the African Blogger Awards apart, from other similar campaigns, is there is no requirement for readers or followers to vote. To qualify for the awards I had to add my blog and/or social accounts on Webfluential {ensuring that social platforms and analytics are correctly linked to Webfluential so that judging could take place}.The Webfluential Algorithm, then measures blog traffic and engagement and compares it to others in the same category.

So a big thank you to all my loyal readers and my followers on both the blog and social media! Without your continued support I could not have achieved these awards.

SA Blog Awards – Please Vote

I have never really been big on entering competitions but for some reason I could not help myself with this one! I figured that after winning a competition recently, that maybe I am on a lucky streak!

Would I like to win? Hell yes!!! Would my world come to an end if I did not – most likely not, but I may sulk a bit!

Seriously though everyone would like to be recognised for their efforts and I am no exception. I do however realise that my blog is still very much in the infancy stage but anything is possible!

So all that said – I would love you to vote for me and show your love for my blog!

Click “Vote” on the SA Blog Award badge and follow the link to their site.
Here you will have to enter your email address and chose the category: I am nominated in Best Entertainment / Lifestyle Blog and the Best Photographic Blog.
You may only vote once in each category – so once you have voted for me you cannot vote for another blog in the same category.

The public vote ends at midnight on the 9^th of November. Clocks ticking so vote now! 🙂

A Blog Award

This week I was honoured to be awarded my first blog award – a Liebster Blog Award – from fellow Cape Town blogger – Becoming You.

Becoming You, is a local Blogazine style blog, that features posts on anything from motherhood to fashion. Her blog is inspiring and filled with lots of useful insights that we can all benefit from – beautiful Photo’s too, so pop over to Becoming You and take a look for yourself. Thank you, Becoming You – for this award!

So, apparently this is how blog awards work – they come with a short list of rules:

1. Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog
2. Link back to the blogger who awarded you
3. Copy & Paste the award to your blog
4. Nominate 5 blogs to receive the award
5. Let them know of their nomination by leaving a comment on their blog!

So here are my nominations – some local lovelies that I have recently discovered and I think are worthy of the award!

1. Love and Lollipops
2. Shes The Geek
3. Glam Fashion Princess
4. The Gorgeous Gourmet
5. Clare Amor

Hope you enjoy them. Now keep the ball rolling ladies!
