The Unique Blogger Award

    My friend, the lovely Fitness WonderWoman, Shay-lon has nominated me for “The Unique Blogger Award”! (To be quite honest, she has nominated me for several other awards too in the past but somehow I never got around to do them and I feel awfully ashamed of that.) That´s why I decided to forgo
