I’m so excited about writing this post that I’ve forgotten how to words.
So remember when I told you I was shortlisted for The Health Bloggers Community x Thatprotein’s Health Blog Awards? Well, the awards ceremony was last Friday.
And look what I got! I didn’t even have to steal it or anything.

It’s still a bit hard to understand for me, because that means actual living, breathing humans have read my blog and they liked it! Silly me! It’s just so easy forget when you spend most of your time blogging, typing away alone 🙂
I’m grateful for everybody who was so kind to vote for my blog, especially if you are a real human (sorry I forget sometimes). Also thank you to all the other actual living, breathing beings that’s reading my blog, I’m not picky when it comes to readers.

Where did it go? Magic.

As said, the awards was created by That Protein and the HBC.
The That Protein & HBC Blog Award is a collaboration between That Protein and the Health Bloggers Community. The award is a celebration of the flourishing and eversogrowing community of health bloggers from all around the world. The 2016 awards are focused on the UK market, as well as including one EU category.
And I, for one, am very happy they decided to include a Enuropean category! The European award was sponsored by the lovely people at Linwoods.
Linwoods range of tasty superfoods provide an easy and convenient way to include a wide range of essential fatty acids, nutrients, vitamins and minerals in your everyday diet, making it easy to add a healthy boost to everything you eat and go through life looking and feeling your best!
I was so surprised when it was announced that Annesmiles had won the award for Best European Health blog, as I found it incredible to even be shortlisted among so many amazing and inspiring blogs.
Now, if you’re looking for more fantastic and inspirational bloggers who’s got a real passion for health, food and fitness I’m including all the deserving winners from the other categories.
