It took me by surprise when I was nominated by Marlena from Let’s Drink Coffee for the 2018 Liebster Award! If you’re a coffee lover, you need to check out her blog! She is a connoisseur of coffee and writes all about it. Definitely worth following her!
So, What is the Liebster Award?
The Liebster Awards are an Australian internet-based initiative which dates back to 2011. The term Liebster is a German word that means sweetheart, darling, beloved or favorite. This award is a pay it forward concept where bloggers give other bloggers recognition and hopefully a little more exposure.
