Shameless Plea

DEAR Readers,
Like an Hollywood actress at the dawn of award season, I am shamlessly begging for your votes.
I have been nominated for a Dorset Cereal Little Blog Award and am currently in second place for the top gong!
The winner scoops a goodie box full of Dorset Cereal products, and -most importantly - a coveted Little Blog egg cup which, I am sure you will agree is far more prestigious than any Oscar, Golden Globe or Actor's Guild Award.
What is more, if you place a vote for me, you could win a case of Dorset Cereals. It's a win-win situation, I am sure you will agree.
It's a monthly competition so the closing date is drawing close, just a few more days to go.

So, what are you waiting for? Click on one of the links in this post, or on the Dorset Cereals widget at the side of the page, and cast your vote now.

Thanks in anticipation!
Emily (meetandtwoveg)

Sisterly Love

I HAVE a huge smile on my face.
You might ask why.
Have I just eaten something I shouldn't and not been caught?
Or discovered that a 100g bar of Cadbury's Whole Nut contains no calories?? On this occasion the answer is no.
I've just found out that a fellow foodie blogger nominated me for a Sisterhood Award.
Heavenly Housewife, the author of From Donuts to Delirium, shortlisted me for the gong, after being nominated by Diva on a Diet at Beach Eats.
I guess it's a bit like a chain letter, but with the added compliment that the person giving the award likes what you write, which means a lot to me.
The rules of the award are:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post (see right).
   
2. Nominate at least 10 people whose blogs you enjoy.
   
3. Link to your nominees within your post.
   
4. Let them know they have received this award by commenting on their blogs.
   
5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person who has nominated you for the award.

Like Heavenly Housewife I haven't been blogging, or reading blogs for that long, but here are top eight girlie blogs... I also don't know to link my nominees within my post... so I'll give their blog addresses instead.

• Heavenly Housewife will be able to 'do the double' as I am sending an award straight back to her. From Donuts to Delirium is a blog about a serious food obsession. It's witty, well-written and has lots of mouthwatering pictures. She also has the 'eat cake and be damned' attitude that I love.
  

• Leah, a fellow Brummie (originally from Canada) writes Simply Fabulous, an inspiring blog on life and eating healthily. She also has some great tips about feeling good in your own skin.
  

• Another healthy foodie is Lara at Thinspired. She takes appetising food pictures and always opens my eyes to new products and recipes.
  

• Meanwhile, Helen at Helen's Journey is a new Leeds-based blogger on a road to a healthier lifestyle. She has a great attitude and some brilliant ideas for low-fat eating. www.helensjourney.wordpress.com/

• Krysia Rozanka writes a beautiful and colourful blog about her life in Bulgaria.
  

• Mrs Woffington at Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Woffington deserves a nomination for her consistently well-written historical accounts of Georgian England
  

• Finally, I always enjoy Jessie's Graze With Me blog. This is a girl who, like myself, just wants to eat all day long.
  

You can link to any of these sights on my blog roll... Thanks for the nomination! Keep reading.
