Hello everyone! This is so exciting! My new little recipe blog was nominated by Lotus LauraΒ for theΒ Sunshine Blogger award! Thank you so much Laura. While my main blog, Purple Almond Wellness, has been nominated several times, this is the first nomination for my new blog. I’ve placed Laura in my Purple Almond Hall of Fame, as a thank you for the nomination. You can see that article HERE.
The blog Lotus Laura was established by Laura Cyrena. Laura says she has loved writing since she was a child. Some of her other interests include yoga, dance, crafts, reading, hiking and caring for her cat venus. She also loves buying books (ME TOO!) Favorite foods are pizza and mac & cheese.

The Sunshine Blogger Award Rules:
- Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you and provide a link back to their blog
- List the rules and display an award logo on your blog post
- Answer the 11 questions the blogger(s) asked you
- Nominate 11 other bloggers to receive the award and notify them by commenting on any of their posts
- Ask the nominees 11 new questions.
Questions from Lotus Laura
- 1. Whatβs your favorite color? Red
- 2. What is a good song you listened to recently? I’m a big fan of inspirational music, and love all kinds of music, as long as the words are inspiring. One of my favorite songs is “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts
- 3. Whatβs your favorite animal? I love dogs and horses!
- 4. Do you have any pets? I have a dog named Max

- 5. Tropical island or big city? Most definitely tropical island…although I’d actually prefer a remote mountain forest cabin!
- 6. Whatβs your favorite scent? Wow, that’s an interesting question…Let’s see, there’s nothing more comforting to me the the scent of an evergreen forest.
- 7. What are some hobbies of yours? I enjoy relaxing with my better half in the evening. I also love hiking, cooking and doing cross-stitch.
- 8. Are you wearing socks right now? π€£Yes, but only because it’s winter. If I’d have my way, I’d go barefoot all year!
- 9. Whatβs your favorite season? Autumn is my hands down favorite. I love the colors and the weather. There’s nothing better than a walk in the woods on a sunny crisp fall day. π
- 10. Whatβs the last thing you ate? A cup of English tea and a slice of my homemade, paleo apple bread. (I’ll post a recipe soon)
- 11. Why do you like to write? Like reading a good book, writing is sort of my escape from the “real world”. I enjoy escaping into the world of wellness, food and cooking. I love connecting with other writers and bloggers from around the world.

Thank you. I had fun answering them. I love horses and always wanted one of my own growing up. I had to settle for going to a horse camp each summer. I need to perfect the recipe. Iβll try to publish it in the next few weeks. π
