Beautiful Blogger Award!
Written by Corinne Dobbas, MS, RD // January 14, 2010 // Nutrition // 20 Comments
Hi everyone!
I hope you’re off to a great healthy day (yes … I did just have to throw the “healthy” in there … come on now!).
First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU to all who take time out of their crazy busy day to read Green Grapes Blog and then—provide input! Your comments, e-mails, blog hits, and challenge submissions truly put a smile on my face … really … they do! SO—once again, a big THANKS from me to YOU!!!
AND, an even bigger THANKS to Shannon from Lessons to Learn. She was kind enough to nominate me for the Beautiful Blogger Award—so sweet!!!
Now, what I’ve gathered about this award is that I’m supposed to tell ya 7 fun facts all about me, and then nominate 7 other lovely bloggers.
Let’s give it a whirl, shall we???
7 Facts About Moi
- I have Swiss citizenship, but have NOT yet gone to Switzerland! (Ha-ha. I know—right?).
- I start every day by drinking 2 ginormous glasses of water followed by a cup of joe, which is likely accompanied by a bowl of oats or a straight-up baked or microwaved sweet potato with some sea salt.
- Two of my life goals are to write a fun chick-lit novel and to become a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Boy, when you put these two in the same sentence they appear somewhat random, BUT the goals are true …just not tried (give me some years
) - My best friend’s name is Lindsay. We’ve known each other since the ripe old age of 2!!! We refer to one another as “diaper buddy.”
- I adore the endorphin rush from a good workout and happen to take pride in my obscene sweating abilities—hey, it just means I really worked it out!
- I LOVE physiology text books, nutrition journals, medicine jargon and all the good “sciency stuff” that accompanies becoming an RD, but I also LOVE watching E! News and romantic comedies and reading US Weekly.
- All of my family and close friends call me “Rinny” or “Corinney.” When I came to college I thought the name would vanish, but nope—somehow it has managed to migrate from California to Boston and stick!!!
7 Bloggers I Nominate!
- Lindsey from Healthy Blog Snack
- Jessica from A Fete For Food
- Elizabeth from Don’t (White) Sugar-Coat It
- Janel from Dine Dish Delish
- Kasey from Fit For Wellness
- Gina from The Candid RD
- Kristen from The Swanky Dietitian
THANKS … AGAIN!!!
Once again, a big thank you to Shannon and all the GGB readers out there! Thanks for giving GGB the once-over, but hopefully, the twice-over!
See y’all soon!
Happy Healthifying!
I say goodbye to fad diets, bogus "fat-burning" pills, and processed, non-food food. And, I smile hello to a healthifying lifestyle full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, sweaty workouts, the occasional "chocolate fix," sleep, family and friend time, and quality "me time" with a focus on health. I look forward to your comments and thoughts as the posts healthify on by!

I had no idea you where a swiss citizen!!! get on that airplane girl!!!! wait do you get any of their benefits, like healthcare???
thanks for nominating me! love ya!
Wow- I never knew you were a Swissy Missy! Thanks for the nomination! <3
Any time!
I love reading the random facts people post! I could have written #6….I have an intellectual side, but I just love reading mindless things and watching light-hearted romantic comedies!
Thanks for sharing!
Everyone at least pages through Us Weekly, I’m convinced. If they say they don’t they’re lying. That’s why the grocery stores put them right where you can browse while waiting.
my best friend’s name is lindsay too! we’ve known each other since the day i was born…or i guess since we were both in our mama’s bellys lol. so cool that you’re a swiss citizen! i can totally see you writing a chick lit novel AND being an ADA spokesperson!
Fun to learn more about you!!
I love seeing the recipients of blog awards-I’ll have to check out several you mentioned that are new to me.
Congrats on the award! You deserve it! I loved your 7 things. This one — Two of my life goals are to write a fun chick-lit novel and to become a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Boy, when you put these two in the same sentence they appear somewhat random, BUT the goals are true …just not tried — especially. This is a goal of mine — both! So cool girl! Have a great weekend!
Thank you SO much for the award!!! I’ll admit now, I usually don’t post awards on my blog, so don’t be offended please. I do really appreciate it though, and I LOVE how enthusiastic you are about nutrition. I hope you reach your goal of becoming an ADA spokesperson. I have recently seen some ads for resumes to become a spokesperson, and I actually thought about filling one out myself! Hopefully you are involved with your local group (local city group) because that’s the first step, and it’s a BIG step.
I’m chugging my morning glass of water, and cup 0′ joe right now
Thanks for the award!!! I love your 7 facts. I think you would be an awesome ADA spokesperson! I too LOVE E! News and flipping through an US Weekly
Hi Corinne! First time checking out your blog. What a great post to get started with. I look forward to reading more.

Thanks for the award! I was so excited! My guilty pleasures also include E News and US weekly.

Swiss citizenship! Nice. You should get your butt over there sometime! I ate a sweet potato for breakfast…so good. I actually like them cold in the morning.
Great blog girl! Can’t wait to read more! The transition from Sunny California to Blustery Boston must’ve been quite shocking!
You know we spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time together when I know all of your “fun facts” already lol

I need to start drinking water when I get up – I used to drink a glass before anything else. I’ve gotten out of the habit though…
