A few weeks ago, Sam at Grapefruit and Granola nominated me for a Liebster award and gave me 10 questions to answer. Instead of answering them in a post, I thought it would be more fun to do them in a vlog? You can figure out if I was right about the fun level by watching for yourself.
So, rather than doing this the correct way (my bad) and nominating new people with new questions, I want to use this as an opportunity to get to know each of you reading this a little better. Do me a favor and answer as few or as many as you want in the comments?
1. Why did you start your blog?
2. Of all the posts you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?
3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
4. What’s your favorite color?
5. Name your favorite actor and actress.
6. If you were stuck on a deserted island, what 2 things would you have to have with you and why?
7. What is your favorite book?
8. What was your favorite TV show as a child?
9. Name 1 unique fact or quality about yourself that others may not know about.
10. What would be your dream job/career?
And, as a parting gift, have some stills of my cat trying to sabotage my video. Let this be a lesson to you about owning cats.

ReplyDelete1. Why did you start your blog? — This one? Because I was tired of not blogging and wanted the sense of community I was missing.
2. Of all the posts you’ve written, which is your favorite and why? — Oof. I dunno. First half marathon recap maybe. And the one about Hobby Lobby. And the one about Endo. And Monday's post. I'm very humble.
3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? — LOL no clue.
4. What’s your favorite color? — Red. And black, like my soul.
5. Name your favorite actor and actress. — I've never really had one singular favorite of either. I will watch anything—ANYTHING—with Tom Hanks in it though.
6. If you were stuck on a deserted island, what 2 things would you have to have with you and why? — If we're being really honest, I need lip balm or I'l chop my lips off. And, cliche, my iPad loaded with Kindle app books and unlimited Internet access, because I'm not even going to lie to you.
7. What is your favorite book? — The Great Gatsby, and anything Judy Blume ever wrote.
8. What was your favorite TV show as a child? — Pretty sure it was always Friends. And I Love Lucy when that used to play on Nick at Nite.
9. Name 1 unique fact or quality about yourself that others may not know about. — Hmm. I'm working on a book.
10. What would be your dream job/career? — See response to number 3. Unless I can make a living on running, doing yoga, and writing whatever/whenever I feel like it.
Ugh I left a whole 'nother comment after this after I watched it and it's nowhere to be found and I don't have the energy to write it again so let me just say: Rap battles are my life. Going to learn Rap God now, thanks. xoxo.
DeleteOk first... You are adorable and I'm totally jelly of your hair. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for not feeling like you have to plan everything out in your life. I can be that way. I'm learning to really just let go and let life happen.
I also don't really have a dream job, either. I kind of just want to be happy with what I do, so it doesn't spill over into my "real" life... you know? I like being content at a job, but I don't want to make it my life.
^^^ I am with Jaelan on your hair.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I am so upset right now. I was all excited about a RAP and then you totally bailed on us. Rude.
My favorite color is red. However, I sadly cannot wear red because it looks terrible on me. My favorite colors to wear are blues and greens.
And I am currently doing my dream job. I love being an editor!
Ohhhh we get a video! Yay!!! I love hearing other bloggers vlog...even though it scares the shit out of me to do it myself. And I want to hear the rap!!!!
ReplyDelete1. Why did you start your blog? After seeing several fitness bloggers on Pinterest and seeing people commenting on their posts I thought...I want that! A community I can build with people from all over!
2. Of all the posts you’ve written, which is your favorite and why? Hmm probably personal ones like you. I also enjoy my Sh!t Chris Says ones because it reminds me how lucky I am to have a husband who can make me laugh.
3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? No clue!
4. What’s your favorite color? purple but to wear? black
5. Name your favorite actor and actress. I don't really have one either.
6. If you were stuck on a deserted island, what 2 things would you have to have with you and why? A tv with netflix to keep my entertained haha!
7. What is your favorite book? Tuesdays with Morrie
8. What was your favorite TV show as a child? Full House
9. Name 1 unique fact or quality about yourself that others may not know about. Hmm I will have to get back to you!
10. What would be your dream job/career? Own my own boutique store
ok I'm a weirdo and I watched it now :) I love your answers - Kevin Spacey, yes! Love him. And yeah I don't really have a dream job either, I don't want my job to take over my life. Like even if I could travel or read for a living, I would only want to go to places I want to go to, or read books I want to read, which is obviously not realistic (neither is either of those jobs). also i love that you read latin, i wish i was that awesome! and i'm so happy you have no clue about 5 years from now and are down with it :)
ReplyDeleteKEVIN SPACEY. I'd take him as my second husband.
ReplyDeleteMy fav TV show as a child was Little House on the Prairie. Micheal Landon, FTW!! And I'm doing my dream job - blogger and SAHM. I'd answer more questions but Henry just face planted...
I loved this (especially the clips with your cat, haha)-- you are SO pretty! And hooray for not being okay with knowing where the next five years will take you & being okay with it :) I laughed out loud when you said rapping--- can your next video please be you rapping?!
ReplyDelete1. I was a little bit bored and had been reading a ton of beauty blogs so I figured, why not?; 2. I'm not sure what post has been my favorite- I'll have to give more thought to it; 3. You already know this, but I have no idea!; 4. recently blue; 5. I'm the opposite, I can't really think of any actors but I really like Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts; 6. sunscreen & bug spray or some kind of net- I can't handle bugs; 7. Blue Like Jazz or more recently The Goldfinch- I have a hard time just picking one!; 8. I didn't watch that much TV when I was growing up but I loved Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, and Legends of the Hidden Temple-- I think they were all on Nick; 9. I don't know how unique this is, but I'm an INFJ; 10. Growing up I wanted to be an architect (it's a long story), but now I would love to be a writer and work from home or in my own schedule.
Hahah oh cats. I loved this!! Have a great weekend girl! (At work now, so will maybe have to come back later and do a little q&a!) xx
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute and I love the video! I also second Jaelen's comment about your hair. My favourite colour is mint, does that count? And I so need to write a letter to myself with regards to tris
ReplyDeleteI love your vlog!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - you are freaking adorable! I loved this entire thing!!! I should have written down my comments as I watched it but Ill try to remember what I can in no particular order.
ReplyDelete*I am glad you started to blog and made your blog public - for the longest while I was super duper private with my blog too (and still am) but I mean in the beginning I wouldn't even post photos of myself.
* My favourite colour is pink but like you I don't wear random colours - black please
* I don't really have a favourite actor either but you hit the nail on the head with Sean Penn
* I AM BLOWN AWAY that you studied and taught Latin!!! I always wished I knew Latin - I have a Latin phrase tattooed on my arm.
* I am going to read the 3 years of running post - just because.
So glad you Vlogged. I need to do one!
